NSG 3280
NSG 3280 EXAM 1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
the study and diagnosis of disease through examination
of organs, tissues, cells, and bodily fluids. - correct answer 1:
Pathology
the study of the causes of diseases - correct answer 1: Etiology
Something which increases risk or susceptibility. - correct
answer 1: risk factor
the development or evolution of a disease, from initial
stimulus to the ultimate expression of the manifestations
- correct answer 1: pathogenesis
,NSG 3280
manifestations of disease that are observed - correct answer 1:
signs of disease
subjective feelings of an abnormality in the body - correct
answer 1: symptoms
etiology of a particular set of signs and symptoms has not
yet been determined - correct answer 1: syndrome
interval between exposure of a tissue to an injurious
agent and the first appearance of signs and symptoms -
correct answer 1: latent period
refers to the appearance of the first signs and symptoms
indicating the onset of a disease - correct answer 1: prodromal
period
disease reaches its full intensity, and signs and symptoms
attain their greatest severity - correct answer 1: Stage of
manifest illness/acute phase
,NSG 3280
signs and symptoms may become mild or disappear for a
time - correct answer 1: latent/ silent period
relatively severe manifestations but runs a short coarse
measured in hours, days, or a few weeks - correct answer 1:
acute condition
can begin in the acute phase and become prolonged
when the body's defenses are insufficient to overcome
the causative agent and can last for months - correct answer 1:
chronic condition
sudden increase in the severity of a disease - correct answer 1:
exacerbation
an abatement or decline in severity of the signs and
symptoms of a disease - correct answer 1: remission
stage of recovery after a disease, injury, or surgical
operation - correct answer 1: convalescence
, NSG 3280
subsequent pathologic condition produced by a disease -
correct answer 1: sequela (sequelae)
the degree to which a measurement reflects the true
value of the object it is intended to measure - correct answer 1:
validity/accuracy
the ability of a test to give the same result in repeated
measurements - correct answer 1: reliability/precision
the extent to which a test can differentiate between the
presence or absence of a condition in an individual - correct
answer 1: predictive value
estimate of the probability that disease is present if the
test is positive - correct answer 1: positive predictive value
an estimate of the probability that disease is absent if the
test is negative - correct answer 1: negative predictive value
