ESSENTIALS OF HUMAN DISEASES AND
CONDITIONS TEST BANK QUESTIONS WITH
100% VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
Homeostasis - ANS-internal stability of the body
Pathology - ANS-Scientific study of disease
Pathogenesis - ANS-the origination and development of a disease in stages
Systemic health - ANS-Internal equilibrium
Symptoms - ANS-Subjective patient reports (not based on facts)
Ex: pain, fatigue, headache
Signs - ANS-Facts- abnormal objective findings
Ex:fever, redness, swelling, xray of broken bine
Acute illness - ANS-Onset is usually abrupt
Symptoms present themselves over hours to days
Duration brief (<6 months)
chronic illness - ANS-Onset is slower
Symptoms persist from acute/sub-acute phases
Duration indefinite (>6 months)
tumor markers - ANS-Substances that are expressed by the tumor or by normal tissue in response to a
tumor. Used to determine if cancer treatment is working, screen for reoccurance and evalute cancer.
"Superbugs" are strains of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. - ANS-MRSA, VRE, CRE
hand washing - ANS-Most important means of preventing the spread of infection
diagnosis - ANS-identification of a disease that the provides the logical basis for treatment and prognosis
acute inflammation - ANS-body's response to tissue injury and disease
modes of transmission for infection - ANS-Direct or indirect physical contact
, Body fluids/blood
Inhalation
Ingestion
Insect/animal
Pathogenic agents include - ANS-Bacteria
Fungi
Protozoa
Viruses
the body's natural defense system - ANS-A . mechanical and chemical barriers
B . inflammatory response
C . immune response
metastasis - ANS-The spread of cancer cells to locations distant from their original site. Secondary site of
original cancer.
a patient's description of pain is - ANS-highly subjective and individualized
acute inflammatory response - ANS--body's response to tissue injury and disease
normal, protective response to injury and disease is accompanied by:
1. redness
2. swelling
3. heat
4. pain
5. loss of function
Cancer - ANS-A group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell proliferation or growth
Benign tumors - ANS-develop slowly
Can arise from any tissue
Usually remain encapsulated (self-contained)
Rarely recur after surgical removal
Malignant tumors - ANS-Cells multiply rapidly
Do not usually resemble the tissue of orgin
Invade surrounding tissue
Often recurrent
Infiltrate to distant sites (metastasize)
cancer risk factors - ANS-Tobacco use
Heavy alcohol use
High fat low fiber diet
Exposure to environmental carcinogens
Excessive exposure to uv light and sunlight
Sedentary lifestyle
Exposure to radon and radiation
