Chapter 01
1. The progression of a loss of oxygen and nutrients resulting in tissue necrosis, especially in the diabetic’s foot, is
called [Multiple Choice]
a. infarction
b. gangrene ✔
c. ischemia
d. hemorrhage
ANS: B
Severe arterial disease of the lower extremities may result in necrosis of several toes or a large segment of the
foot, a condition called gangrene. A frequent symptom in diabetic patients is ischemia of the foot, which may
progress to infarction and result in gangrene.
2. Connective tissue fibers replacing dead tissue and then contracting in the abdomen are known as [Multiple
Choice]
a. keloids
b. suppurative inflammation
c. fibrous adhesions ✔
d. hyperemia
ANS: C
Eventually the strong connective tissue contracts to produce a fibrous scar. In the abdomen, such fibrous
adhesions can narrow loops of intestine and result in an obstruction.
3. Match the following terms related to edema. AnasarcaElephantiasisFilariasisPericardial effusionPeritoneal
ascitesA parasitic worm causing a lymphatic obstructionAccumulation of fluid in a serous cavityExtravascular fluid
collection surrounding the heartLocalized edema resulting from a lymphatic obstructionPronounced swelling in
subcutaneous tissue throughout the body
4. All of the following are additive diseases in terms of x-ray attenuation, except [Multiple Choice]
a. pneumonia
b. osteolytic metastasis ✔
c. callus
d. ascites
,ANS: B
Osteolytic metastasis is a destructive disease.
5. A localized area of ischemic necrosis within a tissue or organ produced by vascular occlusion is a(n) [Multiple
Choice]
a. gangrene
b. infarct ✔
c. purpura
d. ecchymosis
ANS: B
An infarct is a localized area of ischemic necrosis within a tissue or organ produced by occlusion of either its
arterial supply or its venous drainage.
6. The body has the ability to combat antigens by forming _____ in the lymphoid tissue. [Multiple Choice]
a. antibodies
b. toxins
c. immunoglobulins
d. antibodies and immunoglobulins ✔
ANS: D
The immune reaction of the body provides a powerful defense against invading organisms by allowing it to
recognize foreign substances (antigens), such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and toxins, and to produce antibodies or
immunoglobulins to counteract them.
7. All of the following are personal protective equipment (PPE), except [Multiple Choice]
a. gown
b. gloves
c. mask
d. sharps container ✔
ANS: D
A sharps container is not used for personal protection against the transmission of diseases.
8. When a vaccine or toxoid is used to counteract an antigen, it is considered [Multiple Choice]
,a. passive immunity
b. active immunity ✔
c. community-acquired immunity
d. iatrogenic
ANS: B
In active immunity, a person forms antibodies to counteract an antigen in the form of a vaccine or a toxoid.
9. The modality of choice to demonstrate the multiple manifestations of AIDS in the central nervous system is
[Multiple Choice]
a. CT
b. nuclear medicine
c. ultrasound
d. MRI ✔
ANS: D
MRI best demonstrates the multiple manifestations of AIDS in the central nervous system.
10. When cells fail to develop and as a result the organ is small, the organ is considered [Multiple Choice]
a. hypoplastic ✔
b. dysplastic
c. hyperplastic
d. anaplastic
ANS: A
Failure of normal development accounts for small size in hypoplasia and aplasia.
11. All pyogens have the ability to enter the blood circulation causing [Multiple Choice]
a. bacteremia ✔
b. phagocytosis
c. septicemia
d. keloid tissue
ANS: A
, All pyogens, wherever they become implanted, have the ability to invade blood vessels to produce bacteremia,
with the potential involvement of other organs and tissues in the body.
12. A subcutaneous hematoma greater than 1 to 2 cm is called a(n) [Multiple Choice]
a. purpura
b. ecchymosis ✔
c. petechia
d. infarct
ANS: B
A large (>1 to 2 cm) subcutaneous hematoma, or bruise, is called an ecchymosis.
13. Depriving tissues of oxygen and nutrients caused by an arterial vessel narrowing is referred to as [Multiple
Choice]
a. ischemia ✔
b. petechiae
c. filariasis
d. gangrene
ANS: A
Ischemia refers to an interference with the blood supply to an organ or part of an organ, depriving the organ’s
cells and tissues of oxygen and nutrients.
14. A malignancy of glandular tissue, such as breast or liver, is referred to as a(n) [Multiple Choice]
a. adenoma
b. adenocarcinoma ✔
c. cystadenoma
d. dysplasia
ANS: B
Adenocarcinoma refers to malignancies of glandular tissues, such as the breast, liver, and pancreas, and of the
cells lining the gastrointestinal tract.
15. An accumulation of abnormal amounts of fluid in the intercellular tissue throughout the body is called [Multiple
Choice]
