Cevap
The 68-year-old former smoker matches with abdominal ultrasonography. The 42-year-old female matches with biennial mammography. The 54-year-old recent quitter matches with annual low-dose computed tomography. The 66-year-old female matches with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.
Each correct pairing directly applies the most current USPSTF recommendations regarding the specific age cutoffs, sex differences, and historical risk factors (such as smoking duration and cessation timing) that dictate the next best step in preventive care.
