Rationale 1: A respiratory rate is not a screening exam for all adolescents. It is done throughout childhood at each health supervision visit.
Rationale 2: The hepatitis B profile is needed only once, prior to administration of the hepatitis B vaccine; however, this is not a required screening for all adolescents.
Rationale 3: A chest X-ray is not a routine screening test for adolescents.
Rationale 4: Routine screening for adolescents includes checking for scoliosis, height, weight, and blood pressure measurements.
