Question

approaching personal and preventative care
when 17 - year - old domunik visits with his primary care physician for the first time, he is not sure what information he needs to provide.
to ensure adequate care, which details should he share with his doctor? check all that apply
his brother and sister are both adopted
his grandfather smoked cigarettes until he was 25 years old
his mother was diagnosed with cancer
he is having unprotected sex with his girlfriend
he has been excessively tired for the past two months

Explanation:

• His mother was diagnosed with cancer: Family medical history (especially of serious diseases like cancer) is crucial as it can indicate genetic or hereditary risks.
• He is having unprotected sex with his girlfriend: Sexual behavior is relevant as it can pose risks for sexually - transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies.
• He has been excessively tired for the past two months: Physical symptoms like excessive tiredness can be a sign of various underlying health issues (e.g., anemia, thyroid problems, or mental health conditions like depression).

The fact that his brother and sister are adopted is not relevant to his own health risks. His grandfather smoking until 25 years old is not as directly relevant as the other factors (unless there was a smoking - related disease in the grandfather, but just the act of smoking until 25 is not a strong indicator for Domunik's current care).

Answer:

• His mother was diagnosed with cancer.
• He is having unprotected sex with his girlfriend.
• He has been excessively tired for the past two months.
