MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Signs Of Disease
a. Always Cause Symptoms.
b. Rarely Correlate With Symptoms.
c. Include Abnormal Objective Findings.
d. Are Always Described By The Patient.
ANS: C
Signs, Or Abnormal Objective Findings, Are The Evidence Of Disease Found By Physical
Examination And Diagnostic Testing. Signs Of Disease Often Correlate With The Symptoms.
REF: P. 2 OBJ: 2
2. Predisposing Factors Of Disease
a. Precisely Predict The Occurrence Of Disease.
b. Make A Person Or Group More Vulnerable To Disease.
c. Never Overlap Or Occur In Combination.
d. Can All Be Controlled By Prevention.
ANS: B
A Person May Be Susceptible To A Greater Or Lesser Degree, Because Of One Or More Risk
Factors That Overlap Or Occur In Combination. Predisposing Factors Include Age, Gender,
Lifestyle, Environment, Heredity, And Immunodeficiency.
REF: P. 2 OBJ: 3
3. Genetic Diseases May Be
a. Produced By An Abnormality In Or Mutation Of The Genetic Code In A Single Gene.
b. Caused By Several Abnormal Genes.
c. Caused By The Abnormal Presence Or Absence Of A Chromosome Or An
Alteration Of The Structure Of Chromosomes.
d. All Of The Answer Options
ANS: D
Genetic Predisposition (Inheritance) Currently Is Considered A Major Risk Factor.
Hereditary Factors In Disease That Appear Regularly In Successive Generations Are Likely
To Affect Males And Females Equally. Hereditary Or Genetic Diseases Often Develop As A
Result Of The Combined Effects Of Inheritance And Environmental Factors.
REF: P. 6 OBJ: 8
4. Which Statement Is True Of Benign Tumors?
a. Tend To Remain Encapsulated
b. Infiltrate Surrounding Tissue
c. Do Not Compress Surrounding Tissue Or Obstruct Organs
d. Do Not Resemble The Tissue Of Origin
, ANS: A
Benign Tumors Usually Develop Slowly And Can Arise From Any Tissue. They Tend
To Remain Encapsulated And Do Not Infiltrate Surrounding Tissue.
REF: P. 7 OBJ: 7
5. Which Statement Is True Of Malignant Tumors?
a. Tend To Infiltrate Other Tissue.
b. Tend To Bleed, Ulcerate, And Become Infected.
c. May Spread To Distant Sites In The Body.
d. All Of The Answer Options
ANS: D
Malignant Tumors Can Represent A Serious Threat To The Health And Life Of A Person.
Cancer Cells Are Variable In Appearance And Disorderly (Anaplastic) And Tend To Bleed,
Ulcerate, And Become Infected. Malignant Tumors Have The Ability To Infiltrate And
Invade The Surrounding Tissue.
Often Malignant Cells Enter The Bloodstream Or The Lymphatic Vessels And Spread To
Distant Sites In The Body Leading To Tumor Growth In Other Areas Of The Body.
REF: P. 8 OBJ: 7
6. Which Statement Is True Regarding The TNM (Tumor, Nodes, Metastasis) Cancer Staging
System?
a. Assesses The Size And Extent Of The Spread Of The Primary Tumor.
b. Is A Grading System Based On The Degree Of Differentiation Of Tumor Cells.
c. Both Answer Options Are True.
d. Neither Answer Options Are True.
ANS: A
Although A Number Of Different Staging Systems Exist, The Majority Of Cancers Use A
TNM System. TNM Staging Assesses The Neoplasm In Three Different Areas: The Size Or
Extent Of The Primary Tumor (T), The Extent Of Regional Lymph Node Involvement By
The Tumor (N), And The Number Of Distant Metastases (M).
REF: P. 10 OBJ: 10
7. The Tumor Gleason Grade Reflects Which Information About The Tumor?
a. Stage
b. Degree Of Abnormal Microscopic Appearance Of The Cells
c. Location
d. None Of The Answer Options
ANS: B
The Gleason Grade Correlates With Extent Of Disease Throughout The Body And With
Prognosis. Analysis Of Prostate Tumor Histology Is Performed, And The Two Predominant
Patterns Are Recorded And Scored From 1 To 5 (1 Represents A Well-Differentiated
Histology; 5 Is The Most Poorly Differentiated).
REF: P. 12 OBJ: 10
8. Which Statement Correctly States The Sequence Of An Allergic Response Within The Body?
a. Immunoglobulin E (Ige) Antibodies Enter The Body And Produce An Allergen.
b. The Release Of Histamine Sensitizes Mast Cells And Produces Symptoms.
