Pathophysiology
Q. A collection of signs and symptoms, often affecting more than one organ or system, that usually
occur together in response to a certain condition is referred to as a (an):
a. acute disease.
b. multiorgan disorder.
c. syndrome.
d. manifestation.
ANS: C REF: 7
Q. All of the following statements are correct about cell damage EXCEPT:
a. The initial stage of cell damage often causes an alteration in metabolic reactions.
b. If the factor causing the damage is removed quickly, the cell may be able to recover and return to its nor
c. If the noxious factor remains for an extended period of time, the damage becomes irreversible and the ce
d. Initially, cell damage does not change cell metabolism, structure, or function.
ANS: D REF: 9
Q. Which of the following conditions distinguishes double blind studies used in health research?
Neither the members of the control group or the experimental group nor the person administering the trea
a. receiving the experimental therapy.
b. Both groups of research subjects and the person administering the treatment know who is receiving the ex
The research subjects do not know, but the person administering the treatment knows who is receiving pla
c. therapy.
d. Only members of the control group know they are receiving standard therapy.
ANS: A REF: 3 | 4
, Q. If the data collected from the research process confirm that the new treatment has increased
effectiveness and is safe, this is called:
a. the placebo effect.
b. evidence-based research.
c. blind research studies.
d. approval for immediate distribution.
ANS: B REF: 4
28. A short-term illness that develops very quickly with perhaps a high fever or severe pain is called:
a. acute.
b. latent.
c. chronic.
d. manifestation.
ANS: A REF: 6
Q. The term prognosis refers to the:
a. period of recovery and return to a normal state.
b. expected outcome of the disease.
c. mortality and morbidity rates for a given population.
d. typical collection of signs and symptoms.
ANS: B REF: 7
