Cevap

The correct pairings align each patient with their respective USPSTF or ACIP recommended preventive intervention based on age, biological sex, and specific risk factors.
Each pairing represents a straightforward, direct application of established, Grade A or B USPSTF recommendations and ACIP guidelines. Lung cancer screening is indicated for older adults with a significant smoking history. Osteoporosis screening via DEXA is a universal recommendation for women 65 and older. The Tdap vaccine is a standard requirement in the late second or third trimester of every pregnancy. Diabetes screening is indicated for asymptomatic adults aged 35-70 with elevated BMI. Finally, chlamydia and gonorrhea screening is universally recommended for sexually active women under 25 years of age.
