Which of the following is a 5-year screening area?

• A. Vision
• B. Hearing
• C. Oral health
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

At age five, preventive care includes screening across multiple domains so potential problems can be detected early before they affect learning and development. Vision screening helps catch refractive errors or amblyopia that could impede school performance; hearing screening identifies any early loss that could affect speech and language development; and oral health screening assesses dental caries risk and mouth health to prompt timely dental care or prevention. Because all three areas are routinely addressed at the 5-year visit, the best answer is all of the above.
