prevalence - ....ANSWER ...-involves the number of cases existing (both old and
new) at a given time period. Can be expressed as a percentage
pathogenesis - ....ANSWER ...-involves the sequence of events that occurs between
the stimulus events and the manifestations of the disease.
clinical manifestations - ....ANSWER ...-it is what tells an individual and their
HCP that something is wrong. Also called "signs and symptoms'
primary prevention - ....ANSWER ...-directed towards preventing the initial
occurrence of a disorder
Secondary and tertiary prevention - ....ANSWER ...-(2 terms) these seek to arrest or
retard existing disease and its effect through early detection and appropriate treatment -
or to reduce the occurrence of relapses and the establishment of chronic conditions
at the cellular or sub-cellular level - ....ANSWER ...-Where does all disease begin?
