Medical provider here.  I disagree.  Getting a pregnancy test on someone who is technically still child bearing age (though 58 is a bit ridiculous) is standard.  People lie and then have procedures done and oops they were pregnant and now you've done things you shouldn't do to a pregnant person.

Continuing to ask a 93 year old when her last period was and questions like that, especially when it's clear she is struggling to give an accurate answer is unnecessary.  And if there are questions that need answers but she either can't hear or needs time to think, they can be asked in the room.  They don't need to be asked louder and louder.  This is the problem when there are just blanket policies in place.  I see it more and more and the policies put in place by those on the business side of things override any of the more personal and critical thinking side of things.  I've seen staff get reprimanded for not filling out those forms correctly because they haven't asked those questions in similar situations.  It's ridiculous.  [/quote]
