PATHOPHYSIOLOGY 370 MIDTERM Question and answer 2023The stage during which the patient functions normally, although the disease processes are well established is referred to as: Subclinical True or False: When the Cause is unknown, a condition is said to be idiopathic True Cancer grading is based on Cell Differentiation A patient has been exposed to meningococcal meningitis but is not yet demonstrating signs of this disease. This stage of illness is called the ________ Latent Stage Breast cancer in women who have the breast cancer gene occurs at an earlier age Metaplasia is: the replacement of one differentiated cell type with another Which is not normally secreted in response to stress? Insulin After suffering a heart attack, a middle-aged man is counseled to take a cholesterol-lowering medication. This is an example of: Tertiary Prevention Extreme cold injures cells by all the following except decreased blood viscosity The effect of excessive cortisol production include immune supression A patient with metastatic lung cancer wants to know her chances for surival. Which response is correct? Lung cancer has about a 15% survival rate Necrotic death of brain tissue usually produces _____ necrosis. Liquefactive Persistence of the alarm stage will ultimately result in Permanent damage and death Of the statements below, the accurate statement regarding nutrition and cellular health is Deficient cellular uptake by one cell type may contribute to excess nutrient delivery to other cell types. Coagulative necrosis is caused by interrupted blood supply The cellular change that is considered preneoplastic is Dysplasia The cellular response indicative of injury because of faulty metabolism is: intracellular accumulations Many of the responses to stress are attributed to activation of the sympathetic nervous system and are mediated by norepinephrine Indicators that an individual is experiencing high stress include all of the following except: pupil constriction After bronchoscopy and histologic examination of a suspected tumor, your patient is diagnosed with primary bronchial carcinoma. Thus, the tumor is: malignant The most common tumor-supressor gene defect identified in cancer cells is: P53 True or False: In general, a cancer cell that is more tissue-specific differentiated is more likely to be aggressive False Apostosis is a process that results in cellular ___________ Death A 17-year old college-bound student receives a vaccine against an organism that causes meningitis. This is an example of: Primary prevention A disease that is native to a particular region is called endemic Allostasis is best defined as: the overall process of adaptive change necessary to maintain survival and well-being C.Q. was recently exposed to group A hemolytic Streptococcus and subsequently developed a pharyngeal infection. His clinic examination reveals an oral temperature of 102.3F, 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: Streptococcal infection An increase in organ size and function due to increased workload is termed hypertrophy All these cellular responses are potentially reversible except necrosis Carbon monoxide injuries cells by reducing oxygen levels on hemoglobin Your patient is scheduled for a staging procedure. She wants to know what that means. The correct response is which of the following? It is a procedure for determining the extent of tumor spread.
