Human papillomavirus infection, the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States, is associated with the development of cervical cancer. The new human papillomavirus vaccine advances cervical cancer prevention; however, provider-recommended screening with Papanicolaou tests and lifestyle modifications are still needed. Widespread implementation of the vaccine and delivering cervical cancer screening to underserved populations remain a challenge. Nurses are ideally suited to address these needs by providing education to patients and families.
人乳头瘤病毒感染是美国最常见的性传播感染，与宫颈癌的发生有关。新型人乳头瘤病毒疫苗推动了宫颈癌预防工作；然而，仍需要医疗服务提供者推荐的巴氏试验筛查和生活方式改变。广泛接种该疫苗以及为服务不足的人群提供宫颈癌筛查仍是一项挑战。护士非常适合通过为患者及其家人提供教育来满足这些需求。
