Medical Interventions EOC Exam
Questions And Answers
What do you call a medical intervention? -A medical intervention is generally thought to
be any measure whose purpose is to improve health or alter the course of a disease
What are the broad classes of interventions that function to maintain human health?
-Answer Diagnostic tools, rehabilitation, surgery, pharmaceuticals, genetics
engineering
How do scientists gather evidence during a possible outbreak of an infectious disease? -
Answer
DNA is collected and sequenced with the purpose of testing and identification of
infectious agent. After identification they are allowed to test other patients that are sick
and study how they spread.
What is bioinformatics? -Answer (1.1)
The collection, classification, storage, and analysis of biochemical and biological
information using computers especially as applied in molecular genetics and genomics
How can DNA sequences be used to identify disease pathogens? -Answer (1.1)
Through an online DNA database, scientists can enter the DNA sequence and receive
results of similar DNA from disease pathogens. BLAST
What is an antibody? - Answer 1.1
-Also know as immunoglobulin
A Y-shaped protein that fights antigens. Each antibody is specific to its antigen.
, How do antibodies recognize and neutralize antigens? - Answer 1.1
Antibodies recognize antigens by attaching to them to tag them for destruction
How is the ELISA assay able to be used in detecting a disease? - Answer (1.1)
ELISA tests the concentration of antibodies or antigens. You are able to determine if
someone has a disease based off if there is a color change and the concentration based
off how strong the color change is.
Why would the doctor want to know the concentration of the antigen for a specific
disease that is present within a patient's system? - Answer (1.1)
The larger the concentration of antigens is, the longer the patient has been sick.
What steps do scientists take to diagnose and treat a disease outbreak and prevent
spread in the future? - Answer (1.1)
How do antibiotics work to combat bacterial infections? - Answer (1.2)
What are the methods by which bacteria share antibiotic resistance genes? - Answer
(1.2)
Transformation, conjugation, and transduction.
What are humans doing to make bacteria resistant to commonly used antibiotics? -
Answer (1.2)
How do frequency and amplitude change human perception of sound? - Answer (1.3)
What are types of hearing loss? - Answer (1.3)
Sensorineural hearing loss- damage to sensory hair cells.
Conductive hearing loss- damage to structure of ear.
