Zorluk: Çok zorPreventive Care and Screening

Match each ambulatory patient vignette with the single most appropriate indicated preventive care intervention based on current national guidelines.

  • 67-year-old female presenting for a well-woman examination; she had a cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 3 treated with conization at age 52, and her last Pap/HPV co-test was 5 years ago.Cervical cancer screening with cytology and high-risk HPV co-testing
  • 34-year-old female at 34 weeks gestation in late October; she received Tdap and influenza vaccines recently and has no prior history of RSV vaccination.Administration of the bivalent prefusion F respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine
  • 45-year-old male with type 2 diabetes mellitus; his lipid panel shows an LDL-C of 92 mg/dL, and his calculated 10-year ASCVD risk score is 6.2%.Initiation of moderate-intensity statin therapy for primary cardiovascular prevention
  • 68-year-old community-dwelling male with a normal DEXA scan and no history of falls who asks if he should start taking an over-the-counter supplement to prevent falls.Counseling against the initiation of daily vitamin D supplementation

Cevap

The correct matching aligns each patient with their guideline-indicated preventive step: the 67-year-old with prior CIN 3 requires continued cervical screening, the pregnant patient at 34 weeks requires the RSV vaccine, the 45-year-old with diabetes needs statin therapy despite a low ASCVD risk score, and the older male should be counseled against vitamin D for fall prevention.
Each vignette tests a specific exception or nuanced recommendation within current guidelines regarding cancer screening, immunizations, vascular disease prevention, and behavioral counseling.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the 67-year-old female's cervical cancer risk profile.
Identify that her history of CIN 3 at age 52 necessitates 20 years of continuous surveillance.
High-grade cervical dysplasia requires extended follow-up beyond the standard age 65 cessation cutoff, meaning she is due for screening now.
2
Analyze the pregnant patient's gestational age and immunization history.
Determine she is eligible for the maternal RSV vaccine.
The maternal RSV vaccine is uniquely indicated at 32-36 weeks gestation strictly during the fall/winter virus season.
3
Assess the 45-year-old diabetic male's cardiovascular risk.
Conclude that statin therapy is indicated.
Diabetes in patients aged 40-75 is a primary indication for a statin, superseding the <7.5% ASCVD risk score requirement.
4
Address the 68-year-old male's request for a supplement to prevent falls.
Recommend against vitamin D supplementation.
Current USPSTF guidelines recommend against using vitamin D for the primary prevention of falls in community-dwelling adults.
