Match each patient's clinical demographic and risk profile with the most appropriate indicated preventive screening modality.
- 68-year-old man with a 35-pack-year smoking history who currently smokesAnnual low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) of the chest
- 22-year-old woman who is sexually active and asymptomaticRoutine screening for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae
- 56-year-old man of average risk whose last screening colonoscopy was normal 10 years agoScreening colonoscopy
- 67-year-old woman of average risk with no prior bone mineral density screeningDual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan
Cevap
The 68-year-old smoker matches with annual LDCT; the 22-year-old sexually active woman matches with Chlamydia/Gonorrhea screening; the 56-year-old man matches with screening colonoscopy; and the 67-year-old woman matches with a DEXA scan.
Each patient profile directly matches exactly one cornerstone of current preventive screening guidelines: lung cancer screening for heavy smokers aged 50-80, STI screening for sexually active women under 25, decennial colonoscopy for average-risk middle-aged adults, and bone density screening for women 65 and older.
