Which assessment would not be included with a 17-year-old's screening during a routine health supervision visit?

1. STI evaluation
2. Autism screening
3. Hemoglobin test
4. Vision screening


Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Autism screening would not be appropriate at this age. If autism were present, it would have presented before this age. STI evaluation, hemoglobin test, and vision screening are all appropriate for a 17-year-old.
