C.Q. was recently exposed to group A hemolytic c. Streptococcal Infection
Streptococcus and subsequently developed a
pharyngeal infection. His clinic examination reveals an
oral temperature of 102.3°F, skin rash, dysphagia, and
reddened throat mucosa with multiple pustules. He
complains of sore throat, malaise, and joint stiffness. A
throat culture is positive for Streptococcus, and
antibiotics have been prescribed. The etiology of C.Q.'s
disease is
a. genetic susceptibility
b. pharyngitis
c. streptococcal infection
d. a sore throat
The stage during which the patient functions normally, b. Subclinical
although the disease processes are well established, is
referred as
a. latent
b. subclinical
c. prodromal
d. convalescence
When the cause is unknown, a condition is said to be a. True
idiopathic
a. true
b. false
primary level of prevention prevention before you ever have a disease; immunization
Many of the responses to stress are attributed to a. Norepinephrine
activation of the sympathetic nervous system and are
mediated by?
a. norepinephrine
b. cortisol
c. glucagon
d. ACTH
Allostasis is best defined as d. the overall process of adaptive change necessary to maintain survival
a. steady-state andwell-being
b. a state of equilibrium, of balance within the organism
c. the process by which the body heals following
disease
d. the overall process of adaptive change necessary to
maintain survival andwell-being
Selye's three phases of the stress response include all a. Allostasis
the following except?
a. allostasis.
b. resistance.
c. alarm.

Your patient eats "lots of fat," leads a "stressful" life, and c. Cigarette Smoking
has smoked "about two packs a day for the last 40
years." Her chronic morning cough recently worsened,
and she was diagnosed with a lung mass. The most
likely contributing factor for development of lung
cancer in this patient is
a. stressful lifestyle
b. high-fat diet
c. cigarette smoking
d. urban pollutants
The nurse is swabbing a patient's throat to test for true
streptococcal pharyngitis. The nurse must understand
that tests such as this differ in the probability that they
will be positive for a condition when applied to a
person with the condition; this probability is termed
sensitivity.
true or false?
After surgery to remove a lung tumor, your patient is a. Kill rapidly diving cells
scheduled for chemotherapy, which will
a. kill rapidly dividing cells.
b. have minimal side effects.
c. selectively kill tumor cells.
d. stimulate immune cells to fight the cancer.
The primary adaptive purpose of the substances a. Energy and Repair
produced in the alarm stage is
a. energy and repair
b. invoke resting state
c. produce exhaustion
d. set a new baseline steady-state
Persistence of the alarm stage will ultimately result in b. Permanent damage and death
a. stress reduction.
b. permanent damage and death.
c. movement into the resistance stage.
d. exhaustion of the sympathetic nervous system.
