A certain disease is currently A
found in 1 of every 10
people in the country and
1,000 people contract the
disease yearly. The
population of the country is
4,500,000. Which of the following
statements is correct?
a. The prevalence of the disease
is 10% and the incidence is
.02%.
b. The prevalence of the
disease is .02% and the
incidence is 10%.
c. Neither is correct.
d. There is insufficient data
,In relation to disease B
development, the term
"etiology" refers to which of
the following?
a. number of people with the
disease
b. cause of the disease
c. definition of the disease
d. outcome of the disease
Which of the following is(are) true D
about "symptoms"?
a. objective and measurable
b. the same as "signs"
c. both of the above
d. neither of the above
,In 1992, there were 980 deaths in a B
Midwestern city with a population
of 1,000,000. At the beginning of
that year,
900 cases of AIDS existed in this
population. During the year, 250
new cases of AIDS were
diagnosed, and 75
people died of the disease in
1992.
Using the data given above,
what was the incidence rate
(per 100,000 population) at the
end of 1992 for AIDS?
a. 6
b. 25
c. 88
d. 116
What level of prevention is a B
blood pressure screening
program for high school

, Mr. Forbes complains of C
"indigestion" and becomes
sweaty and pale. His wife takes
him to the Emergency
Department at Northwestern
Memorial Hospital. A
cardiac catheterization 2 days
later shows partial blockage of
his right coronary artery
(RCA).
Blockage of the right coronary
artery can lead to
myocardial cell injury because it
results in which of the following?
a. bilirubin accumulation in
myocardial cells
b. alteration in the genetic
material of myocardial cells
c. reduced energy production in
myocardial cells
d. activation of the complement
system
When myocardial cells are A
injured, the function of the Na-
K membrane pump may be
impaired. Which of the
following may then result?
a. intracellular sodium will
increase
