1. Which`of.the.following`would`be`the.most`likely`cause`of`an`iatrogenic`disease?
a. An.inherited`disorder
b. A`combination`of.specific`etiological`factors
c. An`unwanted`effect`of.a`prescribed`drug
d. Prolonged`exposure`to`toxic`chemicals`in`the`environment`
ANS:`C`REF:`6
2. The`manifestations`of`a`disease`are`best`defined`as`the:
a. subjective`feelings`of`discomfort`during.a`chronic`illness.
b. signs`and`symptoms`of`a`disease.
c. factors`that`precipitate`an`acute.episode`of`a`chronic`illness.
d. early.indicators`of`the`prodromal`stage`of`infection.
ANS:`B`REF:`6
3. The`best`definition.of`the`term`prognosis.is`the:
a. precipitating`factors`causing.an.acute`episode.
b. number.of`remissions`to`be`expected.during`the`course`of`a`chronic`illness.
,c. predicted`outcome`or.likelihood`of`recovery`from`a`specific`disease.
d. exacerbations`occurring`during.chronic`illness.

4. Which`of.the.following`is`considered`a`systemic`sign.of`disease?
a. Swelling`of`the`knee
b. Fever
c. Pain.in`the`neck
d. Red`rash`on`the`face
ANS:`B`REF:`6
5. Etiology.is`defined`as`the`study.of`the:
a. causes`of.a`disease.
b. course`of.a`disease.
c. expected`complications`of`a`disease.
d. manifestations`of`a`disease.
ANS:`A`REF:`5
6. A`type`of`cellular`adaptation`in`which`there`is`a`decrease`in.cell`size`is`referred`to.as:
a. hypertrophy.
b. metaplasia.
, c. anaplasia.
d. atrophy.
ANS:`D`REF:`8
7. A`change`in`a`tissue`marked`by`cells`that`vary`in`size`and`shape`and`show`increased`mitotic`figures`wo`
uld`be`called:
a. metaplasia.
b. atrophy.
c. dysplasia.
d. hypertrophy.
ANS:`C`REF:`8
8. A`deficit`of`oxygen`in`the`cells`usually.due`to`respiratory.or`circulatory.problems`is`called:
a. apoptosis.
b. ischemia.
c. hypertrophy.
d. necrosis.
