Pathophysiology - ANSWERSthe study of abnormalities in physiologic functioning of
living beings
Pathology - ANSWERSthe study and diagnosis of disease through examination of
organs, tissues, cells, and bodily fluids
Etiology - ANSWERSThe study of the causes and origins of disease
4 topics of pathophysiology - ANSWERSetiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations,
treatment
pathogenesis - ANSWERSdevelopment or evolution of a disease
clinical manifestation - ANSWERSsigns and symptoms or evidence of disease
exacerbation - ANSWERSa relatively sudden increase in the severity of a disease or
any of its signs and symptom
remission - ANSWERSdecline in severity of symptoms
sequela - ANSWERSa disorder or condition usually resulting from a previous disease or
injury
acute - ANSWERSsudden onset and short duration
chronic - ANSWERSlong term
Primary level of prevention - ANSWERSaltering susceptibility; reducing exposure for
susceptible persons
Example of primary prevention - ANSWERSImmunization, health/sex ed, quit smoking
drinking or poor diet.
Secondary level of prevention - ANSWERS-conduction activities that help prevent a
worsening health status by detection or management of diseases
examples of secondary prevention - ANSWERSSelf breast exams, yearly cancer
screenings, proper management of diabetes
Tertiary level of prevention - ANSWERS-supports optimal functioning
