  2. Recent changes inthe driver’s health conditions and their effect on the ability to drive.
  3. The side effects of medications and their effect on the ability to drive.
  4. The nature of an affirmative history, the medication/treatment effect on the ability to drive, and to note any supplementary medical reports substantiating the health history.
Explanation
Answer: D - The nature of an affirmative history, the medication/treatmenteffect on the ability to drive, and to note any supplementary medical reports substantiating the health history.

This is the correct answer because according to FMCSA, the medical examiner must discuss and query all affirmative answers related to a driver’s health history questions. Through the comments section the medical examiner attests that he has probed into the exact nature of the affirmative answers for medical conditions, the medication side effects, and has asked for additional supporting medical reports that would help draw a conclusion about the driver’s medical history.
