What is Pathophysiology?
- Correct Answer- is the study of what happens when the normal anatomy and
physiology go wrong, causing disorder and disease process of the human body.
What 4 things does pathophysiology include?
- Correct Answer- Etiology, Pathogenesis, Clinical Manifestations, and Treatment
Implications
What is etiology?
- Correct Answer- study of causes or reasons for phenomena. Includes Idiopathic
conditions that have an unknown origin or cause.
What is pathogenesis?
- Correct Answer- development or evolution of disease from initial stimulus to the
expression of manifestations as time occurs.
What are clinical manifestations?
- Correct Answer- Signs and symptoms of disorder.
What are treatment implications?
- Correct Answer- Which combine the etology, pathogenesis, and clinical
manifestations to determine the best treatment of condition per individual.
,What are signs?
- Correct Answer- Objective or observed manifestations of disease.
What are symptoms?
- Correct Answer- Subjective feelings of abnormality in the body.
What is objective data?
- Correct Answer- What you observe and can measure.
What are examples of objective data?
- Correct Answer- rash, low blood pressure, bleeding
What is subjective data?
- Correct Answer- What the patient may report to you
What are examples of subjective data?
- Correct Answer- pain scale, they feel suicidal, fatigued.
What is epidemiology?
- Correct Answer- study of the patterns of disease involving populations. Based on
the spread and contact of diseases in people.
What are the levels of disease prevention?
- Correct Answer- Primary, Secondary, Tertiary
, Explain Primary Prevention - Correct Answer- "Preventing"; altering susceptibility
or reducing exposure of disease for people.
Examples of Primary Prevention - Correct Answer- Vaccinations and Handwashing
Explain Secondary Prevention - Correct Answer- "Screening"; early detection,
screening, and management of disease to catch disease early before it spreads
Examples of Secondary Prevention - Correct Answer- PAP smears for STDs, lab
work for HBA1C check, mammogram
Explain Tertiary Prevention - Correct Answer- "Treating" and preventing further
complications from a disorder or disease after the person has the condition
Examples of Tertiary Prevention - Correct Answer- Rehab for hip surgery,
relearning ADL's after amputation, Wound care after stroke to prevent pressure
ulcers.
What is homeostasis?
- Correct Answer- a state of equilibrium in which all body systems are in balance
and the body is at its most optimal in functioning. Stable.
What is allostasis?
- Correct Answer- ability to successfully adapt to challenges. It is not a balance but
an attempt to adapt to achieve homeostasis. Example: sweating to lower ones body
temp.
Stages of the General Adaptation Syndrome - Correct Answer- alarm, resistance,
exhaustion
