PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Q1. What is the primary focus of pathophysiology?
A) The study of normal body function
B) The study of the mechanisms of disease and the body's response to them
C) The study of drug mechanisms
D) The study of surgical techniques
Answer: B
Explanation: Pathophysiology is the study of the mechanisms of disease and
the body's response to altered function, bridging basic science and clinical
practice.
Q2. Which term describes the subjective experience of a disease reported by
the patient?
A) Sign
B) Symptom
, C) Syndrome
D) Diagnosis
Answer: B
Explanation: A symptom is a subjective experience reported by the patient
(e.g., pain, nausea), while a sign is an objective finding observed by the
clinician.
Q3. What is a syndrome?
A) A single disease with a known cause
B) A collection of signs and symptoms that occur together
C) A diagnostic test
D) A treatment protocol
Answer: B
Explanation: A syndrome is a collection of signs, symptoms, and clinical
findings that occur together and characterize a particular condition.
Q4. What is the difference between acute and chronic disease?
A) Acute disease has a sudden onset and short duration; chronic disease has

B) Chronic disease has a sudden onset; acute disease has a gradual onset
C) Both have sudden onsets
