MULTIPLE CHOICE N
1. C.Q. was recently exposed to group A hemolytic Streptococcus and subsequently
N N N N N N N N N N
developed apharyngeal infection. His clinic examination reveals an oral temperature
N N N N N N N N N N
of 102.3°F, skin rash,dysphagia, and reddened throat mucosa with multiple pustules.
N N N N N N N N N N N N
He complains of sore throat, malaise, and joint stiffness. A throat culture is positive
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N
for Streptococcus, and antibiotics havebeen prescribed. The etiology of C.Q.’s
N N N N N N N N N N
disease is
N N
a. a sore throat. N N
b. streptococcal infection. N
c. genetic susceptibility. N
d. pharyngitis.
ANS: B N
Etiology refers to the proposed cause or causes of a particular disease process. A
N N N N N N N N N N N N N
sore throat isthe manifestation of the disease process. Genetic susceptibility refers
N N N N N N N N N N N N
to inherited tendency to develop a disease. Pharyngitis refers to inflammation
N N N N N N N N N N N
of the throat and is also a clinical manifestation of the disease process.

2. A 17-year-old college-bound student receives a vaccine against an organism that
N N N N N N N N N N
causesmeningitis. This is an example of
N N N N N N
a. primary prevention. N
b. secondary prevention. N
c. tertiary prevention. N
d. disease treatment. N
, ANS: A N
Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or reducing
N N N N N N N N N N
exposure forsusceptible individuals, in this case by providing vaccination. Secondary
N N N N N N N N N N
prevention is the early detection, screening, and management of the disease.
N N N N N N N N N N N
Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and attempts to
N N N N N N N N N N
alleviate disability and restore effective functioning. Disease treatment involves
N N N N N N N N N
management of the disease once it has developed.
N N N N N N N N
3. An obese but otherwise healthy teen is given a prescription for a low-calorie diet and
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N
N exerciseprogram. This is an example of N N N N N
a. primary prevention. N
b. secondary prevention. N
c. tertiary prevention. N
d. disease treatment. N
ANS: B N
Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening, and management of the
N N N N N N N N N N
disease such asprescribing diet and exercise for an individual who has already
N N N N N N N N N N N N N
developed obesity. Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering
N N N N N N N N N N
susceptibility or reducing exposure for susceptible individuals. Tertiary prevention
N N N N N N N N N
includes rehabilitative and supportive care and attempts to alleviate disability and
N N N N N N N N N N N
restore effective functioning. Disease treatment involves management of the disease
N N N N N N N N N N
once it has developed.

,4. A patient with high blood pressure who is otherwise healthy is counseled to
N N N N N N N N N N N N
restrict sodiumintake. This is an example of
N N N N N N N
a. primary prevention. N
b. secondary prevention. N
c. tertiary prevention. N
d. disease treatment. N
ANS: B N
Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening, and management of the
N N N N N N N N N N
disease, such as by prescribing sodium restriction for high blood pressure. Primary
N N N N N N N N N N N N
prevention is preventionof disease by altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for
N N N N N N N N N N N
susceptible individuals. Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive
N N N N N N N N
care
N
and attempts to alleviate disability and restore effective functioning. Disease treatment
N N N N N N N N N N
involves management of the disease once it has developed.
N N N N N N N N N
5. After suffering a heart attack, a middle-aged man is counseled to take a cholesterol-
N N N N N N N N N N N N N
Nloweringmedication. This is an example of N N N N N
a. primary prevention. N
b. secondary prevention. N
c. tertiary prevention. N
d. disease treatment. N
ANS: C N
Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and attempts to
N N N N N N N N N
alleviate disability and restore effective functioning such as prescribing a
N N N N N N N N N N
cholesterol-lowering medication following a heart attack. Primary prevention is
N N N N N N N N N
prevention of disease by alteringsusceptibility or reducing exposure for susceptible
N N N N N N N N N N
individuals. Secondary prevention is theearly detection, screening, and management
N N N N N N N N N
of the disease. Disease treatment involves management of the disease once it has
N N N N N N N N N N N N N
developed.

6. A patient has been exposed to meningococcal meningitis, but is not yet demonstrating
N N N N N N N N N N N N
signs ofthis disease. This stage of illness is called the
N N N N N N N N N N stage.
a. prodromal
b. latent
c. sequela
d. convalescence
ANS: B N
Incubation refers to the interval between exposure of a tissue to an injurious agent
N N N N N N N N N N N N N
and the firstappearance of signs and symptoms. In infectious diseases, this period is
N N N N N N N N N N N N N
often called the incubation (latent) period. Prodromal refers to the appearance of the
N N N N N N N N N N N N N
first signs and symptoms indicating the onset of a disease. These are often
N N N N N N N N N N N N N
nonspecific, such as headache, malaise, anorexia, and nausea, which are associated
N N N N N N N N N N N
with a number of different diseases. Sequela refersto subsequent pathologic
N N N N N N N N N N
condition resulting from
N N N
a disease. Convalescence is the stage of recovery after a disease, injury, or
N N N N N N N N N N N N
surgical operation.

7. A N disease that is native to a particular region is called
N N N N N N N N N
a. epidemic.
b. endemic.
c. pandemic.
d. ethnographic.
, ANS: B N
A disease that is native to a particular region is called endemic. An epidemic is a
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N
disease thatspreads to many individuals at the same time. Pandemics are epidemics
N N N N N N N N N N N N
that affect large geographic regions, perhaps spreading worldwide. Ethnographic
N N N N N N N N N
does not describe a disease distribution pattern.
N N N N N N N
8. In N general, with aging, organ size and function N N N N N N
a. increase.
b. decrease.
c. remain the same. N N
d. are unknown. N
ANS: B N
In general, with aging, organ size and function decrease.
N N N N N N N N
9. The stage during which the patient functions normally, although the disease
N N N N N N N N N N
processes are wellestablished, is referred to as
N N N N N N N
a. latent.
b. subclinical.
c. prodromal.
d. convalescence.
ANS: B N
The stage during which the patient functions normally, although the disease
N N N N N N N N N N
processes are wellestablished, is called the subclinical stage. The interval between
N N N N N N N N N N N
exposure of a tissue to an injurious agent and the first appearance of signs
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N
and symptoms may be called a latent period or, in the case of infectious diseases,
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N
an incubation period. The prodromal period, or prodrome, refers to the appearance
N N N N N N N N N N N N
of the first signs and symptoms indicating the onset of a disease. Convalescence is
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N
the stage of recovery after a disease, injury, or surgical operation.

ANS: A, B, C, E N N N N
Gender, situations (e.g., altitude), normal variations, and illness may all determine
N N N N N N N N N N
red bloodcell count. Culture affects how manifestations are perceived (normal versus

abnormal).
