Pathophysiology Exam 1 Cohort 2T
Keiser University WITH COMPLETE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Predictive Value - Correct Answer: Observation or test result is able to predict the presence of a given
disease/condition
Aspects of the Disease Process - Correct Answer: etiology, pathogenesis, morphologic changes, clinical
manifestations, diagnosis, and clinical course
Factors affecting adaptation to stressors - Correct Answer: Age
Health status
Psychosocial resources
The rapidity with which the need to adapt occurs
The availability of adaptive responses and the ability of the body to select the most appropriate
response
Etiologic Factors - Correct Answer: biologic agents (bacteria, viruses), physical forces (trauma, burns),
chemical agents (poisons, alcohol), nutritional excesses or deficits
Sensitivity and Specificity - Correct Answer: Likelihood or how well the test or observation identifies
people with or without a disease.
Example: UTI, high bacteria in urine is detected then lab cultures the bacteria for specificity.
Validity - Correct Answer: the extent to which an instrument measures what it is intended to measure
Reliability - Correct Answer: extent to which an observation , when repeated, gives the same result.
Diagnosis - Correct Answer: designation as to the nature or cause of a health problem
, Etiology - Correct Answer: disease causes
Mortality - Correct Answer: causes of death in a given population
Morbitity - Correct Answer: Describes effects an illness has on a persons life.
Concerned with:
-Incidence
-Persistence
-Long term consequences of disease
Epidimiology - Correct Answer: study of where and when diseases occur and how they are transmitted
within populations
Primary Prevention - Correct Answer: Removing risk factors so disease does not occur.
Example: Immunizations
Secondary Prevention - Correct Answer: Detecting disease when still curable.
Example: Pap smears, mamograms.
Tertiary Prevention - Correct Answer: preventing further deterioration or reducing complications of
disease.
Example: antiobiotics
Extracellular matrix composition:
Glycoaminoglycans (GAGs) are usually found linked to... - Correct Answer: proteins as Proteoglycans
Membrane Potentials - Correct Answer: are electrical potentials existing across the membranes as a
result of ion distribution
Electrical potentials exist across the membranes as a result of ... - Correct Answer: Ion distribution
