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
