What type of care does Choosing Wisely target?

• A. High-value interventions
• B. Low-value or unnecessary interventions
• C. Emergency care
• D. Pediatric care

Answer: (B)

Choosing Wisely focuses on reducing low-value or unnecessary interventions—tests, treatments, and procedures that don’t meaningfully benefit the patient and can even cause harm. By highlighting these overused practices, it encourages clinicians and patients to choose care that truly adds value and to have thoughtful conversations about necessity and alternatives. This approach isn’t limited to a specific setting or population; it applies across many specialties to cut waste and minimize unnecessary risks.
