NSG 533 UPDATED
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY TEST WITH
VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2025/2026
Pathophysiology - Answer ✔✔ - the study of human physiologic dysfunction in
disease
etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and outcomes - Answer
✔✔ - What are the five components of disease?
epidemiology - Answer ✔✔ - risk factors and distribution in populations
etiology - Answer ✔✔ - causative mechanisms
pathogenesis - Answer ✔✔ - disease mechanisms
clinical manifestations - Answer ✔✔ - signs, symptoms and diagnostic criteria
outcomes - Answer ✔✔ - cure, remission, chronicity, or death
etiology - Answer ✔✔ - The "why" of the disease, what is the reason for it. May be
complex or straight forward
idiopathic - Answer ✔✔ - also called cryptogenic, known in cause or origin
, iatrogenic - Answer ✔✔ - occurs as a results of a medical or surgical intervention
(e.g. yeast infection after getting antibiotics)
epidemiology - Answer ✔✔ - this looks at the patterns of disease among groups or
populations. this complement represents the relationship between numerous
population characteristics and looks at the incidence or prevalence of diease
incidence - Answer ✔✔ - the number of new cases occurring in a given population
with a given time period - usually a year. can be expressed as a percentage
prevalence - Answer ✔✔ - involves the number of cases existing (both old and new)
at a given time period. Can be expressed as a percentage
pathogenesis - Answer ✔✔ - involves the sequence of events that occurs between the
stimulus events and the manifestations of the disease.
clinical manifestations - Answer ✔✔ - it is what tells an individual and their HCP
that something is wrong. Also called "signs and symptoms'
primary prevention - Answer ✔✔ - directed towards preventing the initial occurrence
of a disorder
Secondary and tertiary prevention - Answer ✔✔ - (2 terms) these seek to arrest or
retard existing disease and its effect through early detection and appropriate
treatment - or to reduce the occurrence of relapses and the establishment of chronic
conditions
at the cellular or sub-cellular level - Answer ✔✔ - Where does all disease begin?
