f. Papanicolaou (Pap) test

Answer 1

The three additional tests that may be included for an adolescent client during a visit are a complete blood count (CBC), a complete metabolic panel (CMP), and a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antigen test.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three additional tests that may be included for an adolescent client during a visit are:

1. Complete blood count (CBC): This test looks at the levels of different types of blood cells, which can indicate infection if the white blood cell count is high.
2. Complete metabolic panel (CMP): This panel of blood tests can help identify possible liver problems and indicate the need for further testing. It may also detect antibodies for hepatitis viruses A, B, C, and sometimes D.
3. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antigen test: This test detects either antibodies or antigens of the HIV virus and can be used to determine if a patient has HIV.
