QUESTION 1 of 10
True or false: Everyone needs a complete physical exam every year, and the national guidelines for screenings should be followed no matter what.
 TRUE
 FALSE
Answer: B) FALSE. Recommendations from the American Medical Association and American Cancer Society provide
useful guidelines, but the appropriate level of preventive care for you depends on your age, risk factors and
personal health history. Talk with your doctor to determine how often you should receive wellness exams, tests
and screenings. And when you do, be honest about your lifestyle habits, so your doctor gets a true picture of
your risk factors. TIP: Many health plans cover preventive care at 100% with no deductible, so there’s no
out-of-pocket cost. Check your own coverage.
