Which statement by an 18-year-old woman vaccinated with Gardasil indicates that more teaching is necessary?

  • A. This vaccination will cure the HPV infection I got when I was 16.
  • B. I will still need to have a routine Pap screen performed.
  • C. Gardasil can prevent genital warts in males and females.
  • D. This drug does not protect against all types of HPV.
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because Gardasil does not cure existing HPV infections. Gardasil is a preventive vaccine and does not treat existing infections. Choice B is correct as regular Pap screenings are still necessary even after vaccination. Choice C is also correct as Gardasil can prevent genital warts. Choice D is correct as Gardasil does not protect against all types of HPV. Therefore, option A is the statement that indicates the need for more teaching.
