USCIS Risk Assessment & Management 3

Question 1

A civil surgeon reviewing vaccination records finds an adult applicant received a single dose of MMR at age 12. What is the correct risk management action?

Accepted Answer

Administer a second dose of MMR to ensure full immunity

Answer

USCIS requires two doses of MMR for adults; a single prior dose is insufficient and the second dose must be administered or documented before completing Form I-693.

Question 2

Which of the following best describes the civil surgeon's role in managing risk for applicants with Hansen's disease (leprosy)?

Accepted Answer

Assess whether the disease is active or inactive and classify accordingly

Answer

Hansen's disease is only a Class A condition if active and infectious; the civil surgeon must assess clinical activity to classify correctly.

Question 3

An applicant presents with gonorrhea confirmed by NAAT testing. What is the appropriate risk management step before completing Form I-693?

Accepted Answer

Treat the infection, document cure, and then complete the form

Answer

Gonorrhea is a communicable disease of public health significance; the applicant must complete treatment and demonstrate cure before Form I-693 can be finalized.

Question 4

A civil surgeon is evaluating an applicant with well-controlled HIV on antiretroviral therapy with undetectable viral load. How should this be classified?

Accepted Answer

Class B — managed condition with ongoing medication need

Answer

HIV was removed from the list of inadmissible communicable diseases in 2010; it is now documented as a Class B condition reflecting a physical abnormality requiring ongoing management.

Question 5

When assessing drug abuse risk during the USCIS medical exam, which of the following best distinguishes a Class A drug abuse finding from a Class B finding?

Accepted Answer

Class A requires a current disorder meeting DSM criteria; Class B reflects a history in remission

Answer

A current substance use disorder meeting DSM-5 criteria is Class A; a substance use disorder in sustained remission is Class B, reflecting reduced public health and social risk.
