Chapter 1: Disease Prevention & Health Promotion – Original Practice Questions
Multiple Choice Questions (21 items)
1. A 55-year-old asymptomatic man with a 30-pack-year smoking history presents for a health
maintenance visit. According to USPSTF guidelines, which screening test is most appropriate?
A) Chest x-ray annually
B) Low-dose CT chest annually for 3 years
C) Sputum cytology annually
D) PET scan every 5 years
Rationale: USPSTF recommends annual low-dose CT screening for lung cancer in adults aged 50-
80 with a 20+ pack-year smoking history who currently smoke or quit within the past 15 years.
, 2. A 60-year-old woman with hypertension and dyslipidemia asks about aspirin for primary
prevention of cardiovascular disease. The nurse knows that current USPSTF guidelines recommend:
A) Aspirin for all adults over 50
B) Individualized decision for adults aged 40-59 with ≥10% 10-year CVD risk and no bleeding risk
C) Aspirin only for those with established CVD
D) No one should take aspirin for primary prevention
Rationale: USPSTF (2022) recommends individualized decision-making for aspirin in primary
prevention for ages 40-59 with ≥10% 10-year CVD risk. For age ≥60, not recommended for primary
prevention.
3. A 50-year-old woman with average risk for breast cancer asks about screening mammography.
According to USPSTF, which recommendation is correct?
A) Start at age 30, annually
B) Biennial screening from age 50-74
C) Start at age 40, annually
D) No screening needed until age 75
Rationale: USPSTF recommends biennial mammography for women aged 50-74 (Grade B). For
ages 40-49, the decision should be individualized (Grade C).
4. A 45-year-old man with no colorectal cancer risk factors asks about colon cancer screening. Which
option is NOT an accepted screening modality?
A) Colonoscopy every 10 years
B) FIT annually
C) Cologuard (mt-sDNA) every 3 years
D) Barium enema every 5 years
Rationale: USPSTF recommends colonoscopy q10y, FIT annually, mt-sDNA (Cologuard) q3y, CT
colonography q5y, or flexible sigmoidoscopy q5-10y + FIT. Barium enema is no longer a
recommended primary screening modality.
5. A 65-year-old man with a 40-year smoking history quit smoking 2 years ago. He has no respiratory
symptoms. Which statement about lung cancer screening is correct?
A) He no longer qualifies because he quit
B) He qualifies if he quit within the past 15 years and meets age/pack-year criteria
C) Only current smokers qualify
D) He needs a chest x-ray instead of CT
Rationale: Lung cancer screening criteria include those who quit within the past 15 years (ages
50-80, ≥20 pack-years). Quitting does not disqualify within that window.
6. A 70-year-old woman with osteoporosis and hypertension has no history of falls. According to
USPSTF, which is recommended for falls prevention?
