CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
QUESTION 1
Which of the following best defines pathophysiology?
A) The study of the structure of the human body
B) The study of functional or structural changes resulting from disease processes
C) The study of the distribution and determinants of disease in populations
D) The study of the effects of medications on the body
Correct Answer: B
1
,Rationale: Pathophysiology is the study of functional or structural changes
resulting from disease processes . This is distinct from anatomy (structure),
epidemiology (disease distribution), and pharmacology (drug effects).
QUESTION 2
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 called a:
A) Disease
B) Syndrome
C) Complication
D) Sequelae
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A syndrome is a collection of signs and symptoms, often affecting more
than one organ or system, that usually occur together in response to a certain
condition . A disease is a deviation from normal health; a complication is a
secondary problem; sequelae are potential unwanted outcomes .
QUESTION 3
2
,The science of tracking the occurrence and distribution of diseases is called:
A) Pathophysiology
B) Epidemiology
C) Etiology
D) Pathogenesis
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Epidemiology is the science of tracking the occurrence and distribution
of diseases . Pathophysiology is the study of functional changes from disease;
etiology is the study of causes; pathogenesis is the development of disease .
QUESTION 4
A circumstance that causes a sudden acute episode of a chronic disease to occur is
called a:
A) Complication
B) Precipitating factor
C) Prognostic indicator
D) Sequela
3
, Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A precipitating factor is a circumstance that causes a sudden acute
episode of a chronic disease to occur . A complication is a secondary problem; a
sequela is a potential unwanted outcome.
QUESTION 5
The development of a disease or the sequence of events related to tissue changes
involved in the disease process is called:
A) Etiology
B) Pathogenesis
C) Epidemiology
D) Prognosis
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pathogenesis is the development of a disease or sequence of events
related to tissue changes involved in the disease process . Etiology is the cause;
epidemiology is the study of disease distribution; prognosis is the predicted
outcome.
