Verified Answers
Q1: pathophysiology
A: the study of how disease processes affect the function of the body
Q2: disease
A: acute or chronic illness that one acquires or is born with and causes physiologic
dysfunction in 1+ body systems
Q3: etiologic factors
A: biologic agents, physical forces, chemical agents, nutritional excesses or deficits
Q4: biologic agents
A: bacteria, viruses, parasites
Q5: physical agents
A: trauma, burns, radiation
Q6: chemical agents
A: Mustard Gas, Cyanide, and Phosgine Chlorine
Q7: genetic agents
A: mutated genes that cause disease
Q8: nutritional agents
A: lack, excess
Q9: pathogenesis
A: how a disease develops
Q10: congenital
A: present at birth
Q11: acquired disease
A: any disease triggered by external factors and not directly caused by a person's genes
Q12: sign vs symptom
, A: sign: objective
symptom: subjective
Q13: syndrome
A: A group of symptoms typical of a particular disease or condition
Q14: clinical course
A: the evolution of the disease
Q15: acute vs chronic disease
A: Acute Diseases
Develop quickly and last a short time
3 months or less
Patient is cured by medical intervention, recovers due to immune system function, or
dies
Most infectious diseases are acute
Poisoning and injury are other examples of acute diseases
Certain acute diseases may result in disability
Chronic Diseases
Develop slowly and are long lasting
3 months or longer, some are life-long
Medical intervention often "manages" the disease, extending life by limiting the disease's
effects on the body
Certain chronic diseases result in disability
Most chronic diseases are not fully curable and will eventually result in death
Most chronic diseases are non-infectious
Q16: Incidence vs. Prevalence
A: Incidence is the rate of occurrence in a specified group of people. usually studied in
longitudinal method.
Prevalence is determined by counting the number of individuals who currently have it.
usually done by cross-sectional.
Q17: morbidity vs mortality
A: Morbidity: disease
Mortality: death
Q18: primary prevention
A: Preventing disease before it occurs.
Q19: secondary prevention
A: Efforts to limit the effects of an injury or illness that you cannot completely prevent.
