QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔C.Q. was recently exposed to group A hemolytic Streptococcus and subsequently
developed a pharyngeal infection. His clinic examination reveals an oral temperature of
102.3°F, skin rash, dysphagia, and reddened throat mucosa with multiple pustules. He
complains of sore throat, malaise, and joint stiffness. A throat culture is positive for
Streptococcus, and antibiotics have been prescribed. The etiology of C.Q.'s disease is
a. genetic susceptibility.
b. pharyngitis.
c. streptococcal infection.
d. a sore throat. - ✔✔c. streptococcal infection.

sodium intake. This is an example of
a. primary prevention.
b. disease treatment.
c. tertiary prevention.
d. secondary prevention. - ✔✔d. secondary prevention.

a. promotion of free radicals.
b. destruction of cellular membranes.
c. reducing oxygen level on hemoglobin.
d. crystallization of cellular organelles. - ✔✔c. reducing oxygen level on hemoglobin.
✔✔Persistence of the alarm stage will ultimately result in
a. movement into the resistance stage.
b. permanent damage and death.
c. stress reduction.
d. exhaustion of the sympathetic nervous system. - ✔✔b. permanent damage and
death.
✔✔The cellular change that is considered preneoplastic is

nervous system and are mediated by
a. ACTH.
b. norepinephrine.
c. glucagon.
d. cortisol. - ✔✔b. norepinephrine.
✔✔A patient with metastatic lung cancer wants to know her chances for survival. Which
response is correct?
