ANS: A S W
, Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or reducing exposuref

or susceptible individuals by providing vaccination. Secondary prevention is the early detect

ion, screening, and management of the disease. Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative a

3. An obese but otherwise healthy teen is given a prescription for a low-
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW
calorie diet and exercise program. This is an example of
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW
a. primary prevention. SW
b. secondary prevention. SW
c. tertiary prevention. SW
d. disease treatment. SW
ANS: B S W
Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening, and management of the disease such
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW
as prescribing diet and exercise for an individual who has already developed obesity.

Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or reducing exposure fo

r susceptible individuals. Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW
attempts to alleviate disability and restore effective functioning. Disease treatment involves
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW
management of the disease once it has developed.

4. A patient with high blood pressure who is otherwise healthy is counseled to restrict sodium

intake. This is an example of SW SW SW SW SW
a. primary prevention. SW

c. tertiary prevention. SW
d. disease treatment. SW
ANS: B S W
Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening, and management of the disease, such

as by prescribing sodium restriction for high blood pressure. Primary prevention is preventi

5. After suffering a heart attack, a middle-aged man is counseled to take a cholesterol-

lowering medication. This is an example of SW SW SW SW SW SW
a. primary prevention. SW

ANS: C S W
Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and attempts to alleviate disab

6. A patient has been exposed to meningococcal meningitis, but is not yet demonstrating signs
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW
of this disease. This stage of illness is called the
SW SW stage. SW SW SW SW SW SW SW
, a. prodromal
b. latent
c. sequela
d. convalescence
ANS: B S W
Incubation refers to the interval between exposure of a tissue to an injurious agent and the fi
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW
rst appearance of signs and symptoms. In infectious diseases, this period is often called the in
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW
cubation (latent) period. Prodromal refers to the appearance of the first signs and symptoms
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW S
Windicating the onset of a disease. These are often nonspecific, such as headache, malaise, an
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW
orexia, and nausea, which are associated with a number of different diseases.
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW
Sequela refers to subsequent pathologic condition resulting from a disease. Convalescence is t
SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW
he stage of recovery after a disease, injury, or surgical operation.

SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW
a. epidemic.
b. endemic.

ANS: B S W
A disease that is native to a particular region is called endemic. An epidemic is a disease th

ANS: B S W
The stage during which the patient functions normally, although the disease processes are w

SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW SW
prodrome, refers to the appearance of the first signs and symptoms indicating the onset of a
