MULTIPLE CHOICE
1.
C.Q. was recently exposed to group A hemolytic Streptococcus and subsequently developed
a pharyngeal infection. His clinic examination reveals an oral temperature of 102.3°F, skin
rash, dysphagia, and reddened throat mucosa with multiple pustules. He complains of sore
throat, malaise, and joint stiffness. A throat culture is positive for Streptococcus, and
antibiotics have been prescribed. The etiology of C.Q.’s disease is:
a. a sore throat
b. streptococcal infection
c. genetic susceptibility
d. pharyngitis
ANS: B
Rationale: Etiology refers to the proposed cause or causes of a particular disease process.
A sore throat is a manifestation of the disease process. Genetic susceptibility refers to an
inherited tendency to develop a disease. Pharyngitis refers to inflammation of the throat and
is also a clinical manifestation of the disease process.
2.
A 17-year-old college-bound student receives a vaccine against an organism that causes
meningitis. This is an example of:
a. primary prevention
b. secondary prevention
c. tertiary prevention
d. disease treatment
,ANS: A
Rationale: Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or reducing
exposure for susceptible individuals by providing vaccination. Secondary prevention is the
early detection, screening, and management of disease. Tertiary prevention includes
rehabilitative and supportive care and attempts to alleviate disability and restore effective
functioning. Disease treatment involves management of the disease once it has developed.
3.
An obese but otherwise healthy teen is given a prescription for a low-calorie diet and
exercise program. This is an example of:
a. primary prevention
b. secondary prevention
c. tertiary prevention
d. disease treatment
ANS: B
Rationale: Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening, and management of
disease, such as prescribing diet and exercise for an individual who has already developed
obesity. Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or reducing
exposure for susceptible individuals. Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and
supportive care and attempts to alleviate disability and restore effective functioning. Disease
treatment involves management of disease once it has developed.
4.
A patient with high blood pressure who is otherwise healthy is counseled to restrict sodium
intake. This is an example of:
a. primary prevention
b. secondary prevention
c. tertiary prevention
d. disease treatment
ANS: B
Rationale: Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening, and management of
disease, such as prescribing sodium restriction for high blood pressure. Primary prevention
is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for susceptible
individuals. Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and attempts to
alleviate disability and restore effective functioning. Disease treatment involves management
of disease once it has developed.
5.
,After suffering a heart attack, a middle-aged man is counseled to take a cholesterol-lowering
medication. This is an example of:
a. primary prevention
b. secondary prevention
c. tertiary prevention
d. disease treatment
ANS: C
Rationale: Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and attempts to
alleviate disability and restore effective functioning, such as prescribing a
cholesterol-lowering medication following a heart attack. Primary prevention is prevention of
disease by altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for susceptible individuals. Secondary
prevention is the early detection, screening, and management of disease.
6.
A patient has been exposed to meningococcal meningitis, but is not yet demonstrating signs
of this disease. This stage of illness is called the ______ stage.
a. prodromal
b. latent
c. sequela
d. convalescence
ANS: B
Rationale: Incubation refers to the interval between exposure of tissue to an injurious agent
and the first appearance of signs and symptoms. In infectious diseases, this period is often
called the incubation (latent) period. Prodromal refers to the appearance of the first signs
and symptoms indicating onset of disease. Sequela refers to a subsequent pathologic
condition resulting from a disease. Convalescence is the stage of recovery.
7.
A disease that is native to a particular region is called:
a. epidemic
b. endemic
c. pandemic
d. ethnographic
ANS: B
Rationale: A disease that is native to a particular region is called endemic. An epidemic is a
disease that spreads to many individuals at the same time. A pandemic is an epidemic that
affects large geographic regions and may spread worldwide.
, 8.
In general, with aging, organ size and function:
a. increase
b. decrease
c. remain the same
d. are unknown
ANS: B
Rationale: In general, with aging, organ size and function decrease.
9.
The stage during which the patient functions normally, although the disease processes are
well established, is referred to as:
a. latent
b. subclinical
c. prodromal
d. convalescence
ANS: B
Rationale: The stage during which the patient functions normally, although the disease
processes are well established, is called the subclinical stage. The interval between
exposure and first appearance of signs and symptoms may be called the latent period. The
prodromal period refers to the appearance of the first signs and symptoms indicating onset
of disease. Convalescence is the stage of recovery.
MULTIPLE RESPONSE
1.
Your patient’s red blood cell count is slightly elevated today. This might be explained by:
(Select all that apply.)
a. gender difference
b. situational factors
c. normal variation
d. cultural variation
e. illness
