Answer
A
His brother and sister are both adopted.
B
His grandfather smoked cigarettes until he was 25 years old.
C
His mother was diagnosed with cancer.
D
He is having unprotected sex with his girlfriend.
E
He has been excessively tired for the past two months.
Explanation
Dominik should share his mother’s cancer diagnosis because family medical history can affect his health risks and screening. He should also tell the doctor that he is having unprotected sex, since this affects care related to sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy prevention. Excessive tiredness lasting two months is an ongoing symptom the doctor should evaluate. His adopted siblings’ biological histories and his grandfather’s past smoking do not provide the same direct information about Dominik’s health in this scenario.
