Which item asks whether a mammogram or breast exam occurred within the last 2 years?

• A. Colonoscopy in last 5 years
• B. Mammogram or breast exam in last 2 years
• C. Eye exam in last year
• D. Pneumovax vaccine in last 5 years or after age 65

Answer: (B)

This item is about breast cancer screening history. It asks whether a mammogram or a clinical breast exam occurred within the last two years, using a two-year window to gauge if the patient is up to date with breast cancer screening. The combination of “mammogram or breast exam” covers both imaging and clinical screening methods, which helps capture whether preventive care has occurred in this specific timeframe. The other options refer to screening or vaccines for different health areas (colonoscopy for colorectal screening, eye exam for vision, Pneumovax for immunization) and use different timeframes, so they don’t address breast cancer screening within two years.
