UNIT I — PATHOPHYSIOLOGIC PROCESSES
1.
Which term describes the study of functional changes associated
with disease?
A. Anatomy
B. Physiology
C. Pathophysiology
D. Histology
Rationale: Pathophysiology examines functional changes that occur
because of disease or abnormal processes.
2.
Which component of disease describes the cause of a disorder?
A. Pathogenesis
B. Manifestation
C. Etiology
D. Prognosis
,Rationale: Etiology refers to the cause or origin of a disease.
3.
The sequence of cellular and tissue events through which a disease
develops is called:
A. Etiology
B. Pathogenesis
C. Epidemiology
D. Diagnosis
Rationale: Pathogenesis describes the mechanisms and progression
by which a disease develops.
4.
Which finding is considered a subjective manifestation of disease?
A. Fever
B. Edema
C. Rash
D. Pain reported by the patient
Rationale: A symptom is subjective and reported by the patient,
whereas a sign can be objectively observed or measured.
5.
Which term refers to an objective finding associated with disease?
A. Symptom
B. Sign
C. Etiology
D. Syndrome
Rationale: Signs are objective manifestations that can be observed or
measured.
6.
,A patient develops pneumonia after aspiration of gastric contents.
The aspiration represents which component?
A. Prognosis
B. Manifestation
C. Etiologic factor
D. Complication
Rationale: Aspiration is the precipitating cause responsible for the
development of the disease.
7.
A disorder that results from another disease is best described as a:
A. Risk factor
B. Primary disorder
C. Secondary disorder
D. Genetic trait
Rationale: A secondary disorder develops as a consequence of
another underlying disease or condition.
8.
Which term describes the expected course and outcome of a
disease?
A. Etiology
B. Pathogenesis
C. Diagnosis
D. Prognosis
Rationale: Prognosis concerns the anticipated course, response, and
outcome of disease.
9.
Why is understanding pathophysiology important in clinical practice?
, A. It eliminates the need for assessment.
B. It replaces clinical judgment.
C. It helps connect disease mechanisms with clinical manifestations.
D. It determines treatment independently of the patient.
Rationale: Understanding mechanisms helps clinicians interpret
findings and anticipate consequences of disease.
10.
A disease occurring more frequently than expected in a population is
described as:
A. Sporadic
B. Endemic
C. Epidemic
D. Latent
Rationale: An epidemic is an occurrence of disease above the
expected level in a population or region.
Chapter 2 — Homeostasis, Allostasis, and Adaptive Responses to
Stressors
11.
Homeostasis refers primarily to:
A. Elimination of all physiological variation
B. Maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment
C. Prevention of every disease
D. Suppression of endocrine activity
Rationale: Homeostasis maintains internal conditions within ranges
compatible with normal cellular function.
