Match the following patient clinical vignettes to the most appropriate next step in preventive care or screening, based on current evidence-based guidelines.
- A 42-year-old male with a BMI of 33 kg/m² and a blood pressure of 128/82 mmHg, who reports feeling well and exercises twice a week.Obtain a hemoglobin A1c or fasting plasma glucose measurement.
- A 67-year-old male presenting to establish care. He has a history of hyperlipidemia and explicitly recalls smoking about 10 packs of cigarettes total during his twenties before quitting permanently.Perform a one-time screening ultrasound of the abdominal aorta.
- A 60-year-old female with a history of severe rheumatoid arthritis treated with long-term systemic glucocorticoids who has not undergone any previous bone density evaluations.Order a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan.
- A 27-year-old healthy female who is currently at 29 weeks of gestation. She received a booster dose of the Tdap vaccine 18 months ago following a dog bite.Administer a dose of the tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine.
Cevap
The 42-year-old male with obesity matches with diabetes screening; the 67-year-old male with a 10-pack lifetime smoking history matches with an abdominal aortic aneurysm ultrasound; the 60-year-old female on chronic glucocorticoids matches with a DEXA scan; and the 27-year-old pregnant female matches with a Tdap vaccination.
Each patient requires a specific preventive intervention based on nuanced guidelines: diabetes screening for adults 35-70 with overweight or obesity, AAA screening for men 65-75 with any smoking history exceeding 100 cigarettes, DEXA for women under 65 with equivalent fracture risk to a 65-year-old, and Tdap for every pregnancy at 27-36 weeks regardless of prior doses.
