HIGH-YIELD PRACTICE QUESTIONS | VERIFIED ANSWERS| LATEST
UPDATED VERSION
1. Describe the significance of vaccination and regular screenings in the context
of cervical cancer prevention.
Vaccination is only effective after cervical cancer has developed, and
screenings are unnecessary.
Regular screenings can replace the need for vaccination entirely.
Vaccination and screenings are both ineffective in preventing cervical
cancer.
Vaccination protects against HPV, a major cause of cervical cancer,
while regular screenings help detect precancerous changes early.
2. Describe how gut microflora contribute to the protection against pathogens
in the human body.
Gut microflora enhance the body's immune response by increasing
white blood cell production.
Gut microflora protect against pathogens by competing for
resources and space, thereby inhibiting the growth of harmful
microorganisms.
Gut microflora produce antibodies that directly attack pathogens in
the bloodstream.
Gut microflora create a physical barrier that prevents pathogens from
entering the bloodstream.
3. A patient with a history of peptic ulcers is prescribed NSAIDs for pain
management. What should be the primary concern regarding their
treatment?
, Improved pain management
Increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding
Reduced inflammation
No significant concerns
4. If a patient presents with symptoms of acute cervicitis, what diagnostic
approach should be taken to identify the infectious agents involved?
Perform a cervical swab for culture and sensitivity testing.
Conduct a blood test for hormone levels.
Initiate a treatment regimen without further testing.
Order an ultrasound of the pelvic region.
5. The main cause of Type I diabetes is...
High carbohydrate intake
Genetics
Autoimmune reactions
Obesity
6. What are the three primary functions of gut microflora in the human body?
Regulating blood sugar, synthesizing vitamins, and enhancing immune
response.
Salvaging energy and nutrients, providing trophic effects on
intestinal cells, and protecting against pathogens.
Facilitating absorption of minerals, producing neurotransmitters, and
preventing inflammation.
Producing hormones, aiding in digestion, and detoxifying substances.
7. Viral hepatitis A is usually transmitted by which route?
, Poor hygiene
Contaminated food, water, and stools
Respiratory
The fecal-oral
8. Cause of type 1 diabetes
Autoimmune attack on the pancreas
Poor diet & obesity
Unknown cause
Insulin resistance
9. How is osteomyelitis develops?
hematogenous seeding
Direct inoculation of microorganism into bone via trauma or bite
wound or surgery
Contiguous spread from adjacent soft tissues and joints
All of the above
10. The microorganisms in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract benefit our health by
Enable us to digest food and absorb nutrients that otherwise would
be unavailable
Synthesizing all four of the fat-soluble vitamins
Promoting the inflammatory response
Serving as "tags" in diagnostic tests for digestive diseases
11. If an individual has an imbalance in their gut microflora, what potential health
issue might arise related to pathogen protection?
