Common failure modes

These are the patterns that cause most candidates to lose marks on this topic. Recognising them in advance is half the work.

  • !Confusing USPSTF screening guidelines with older recommendations
  • !Misremembering CDC adult immunisation schedule (annual flu, Tdap every 10 years, Zoster after 50)
  • !Wrong developmental-stage match using Erikson or Piaget frameworks
  • !Missing the priority lifestyle counsel for high-risk populations

Study tips

  • 1Memorize current USPSTF screening recommendations.
  • 2Drill CDC adult immunisation schedule — flu annual, Tdap q10y, Zoster ≥ 50, Pneumonia ≥ 65.
  • 3Practice Erikson stages for adolescent (identity vs role confusion) and older adult (integrity vs despair).
  • 4Know the leading causes of mortality by age group.
