Match each patient demographic and clinical risk factor profile to the most appropriate Grade A or B USPSTF screening recommendation.
- A 68-year-old asymptomatic man with a 35-pack-year smoking history who quit 5 years agoAnnual screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) of the chest
- A 22-year-old asymptomatic sexually active woman with a new male partnerScreening with nucleic acid amplification testing for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea
- A 52-year-old man with a body mass index of 32 kg/m² and blood pressure of 135/85 mm HgScreening for type 2 diabetes mellitus with fasting plasma glucose or hemoglobin A1c
- A 66-year-old man with a history of smoking 1 pack per day for 10 years in his twenties, who has never been screened for vascular conditionsOne-time screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm with ultrasonography
Cevap
Match the lung cancer screening to the 68-year-old former heavy smoker; the STI screening to the 22-year-old sexually active woman; the diabetes screening to the 52-year-old man with obesity; and the AAA screening to the 66-year-old man with a remote smoking history.
Each patient profile is correctly matched to a corresponding USPSTF Grade A or B recommendation: LDCT for adults 50-80 with a 20+ pack-year history; STI screening for sexually active women under 25; diabetes screening for overweight/obese adults 35-70; and one-time AAA screening for men 65-75 with any smoking history.
