Explanation:

According to studies conducted by various medical professionals, it can be said that the practitioner would most likely order a Biopsy. From the answers provided there is no evidence that would require a Mammography or Bone scan. Trans-vaginal ultrasound may be undergone as part of a treatment plan but the most likely order would be a Biopsy of the cervix. Since a pap smear evaluates the cervix and since it denoted atypical cells of undetermined significance the next logical step would be the Biopsy to investigate further.
