MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which of the following would be the most likely cause of
an iatrogenic disease?
a. An inherited disorder
b. A combination of specific etiological factors
c. An unwanted effect of a prescribed drug
d. Prolonged exposure to toxic chemicals in the environment
ANS: C
2. The manifestations of a disease are best defined as the
a. subjective feelings of discomfort during a chronic illness.
b. signs and symptoms of a disease.
c. factors that precipitate an acute episode of a chronic illness.
d. early indicators of the prodromal stage of infection.
ANS: B
3. The best definition of the term prognosis is the
a. precipitating factors causing an acute episode.
b. number of remissions to be expected during the course of a chronic illness.
c. predicted outcome or likelihood of recovery from a specific disease.
d. exacerbations occurring during chronic illness.
=; =;
ANS: C
4. Which of the following is considered a systemic sign of disease?
a. Swelling of the knee
b. Fever
c. Pain in the neck
d. Red rash on the face
ANS: B
5. Etiology is defined as the study of the
, a. causes of a disease.
b. course of a disease.
c. expected complications of a disease.
d. manifestations of a disease.
ANS: A
5.
Which of the following best describes pathophysiology?
A. Study of disease prevention in populations
B. Study of structural changes associated with disease
C. Study of functional and structural changes caused by disease processes
D. Study of microorganisms causing disease
ANS: C
Rationale:
Pathophysiology focuses on how normal physiological processes are altered due to disease. It integrates knowledge
from physiology and pathology to explain the mechanisms leading to signs and symptoms. While pathology focuses
mainly on structural changes, pathophysiology explains functional consequences of those changes.
6.
A patient develops severe gastric irritation after taking a prescribed medication for arthritis. This condition is best
classified as:
A. Idiopathic disease
B. Iatrogenic disease
C. Nosocomial disease
D. Congenital disorder
ANS: B
Rationale:
An iatrogenic disease results from medical treatment, procedures, or medications. In this case, the adverse effect was
caused by a prescribed drug. Nosocomial diseases originate in hospitals, while congenital disorders are present at birth.
7.
Which of the following best defines etiology?
A. The study of disease symptoms
B. The underlying cause of a disease
C. The progression of a disease over time
D. The complications associated with disease
ANS: B
