The correct answers are B and C.
Explanation:
In menopausal patients, even the slightest of uterine bleeding is endometrial cancer until proven otherwise. This is important for you to know but should not be used to panic the patient.
Advise the patient that you’d like to refer her to an OB / GYN for further evaluation. It is not normal and should be further investigated by a specialist.
