CORRECT ANSWERS 2025/2026
Conditions of the INTEGUMENTARY System correct answers >>
CELLULITIS:
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS:
- Skin of the affected area is swollen, red, and hot to the touch
ETIOLOGY:
- Bacteria (typically Streptococcus or Staphylococcus) enters the
skin through cuts or abrasions and causes infection of connective
tissue with severe inflammation of the skin
DX:
- Physical exam
- Wound culture and blood tests can confirm bacterial etiology
TREATMENT:
- Resting the area, cutting away dead tissue if needed, antibiotics
DERMATITIS:
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS:
- Red, itchy rash that may include blisters or oily scales
ETIOLOGY:
- Allergic reaction to a specific allergen leading to inflammation of
a region of the skin
DX:
,- Physical examination
TREATMENT:
- Moisturizers
- Steroid creams
ECZEMA:
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS:
- Red, itchy skin
- Vesicular lesions (blisters) that may crust over
ETIOLOGY:
- Believed to be caused by hereditary and environmental factors
leading to inflammatory skin disease
DX:
- Physical examination
TREATMENT:
- Mild, fragrance-free soap and moisturizers, steroid creams, and
antihistamines
- Goals of treatment are to heal the affected skin and mitigate
recurrence
SKIN CANCER - BASAL CELL:
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS:
- Waxy bump or skin sore that does not heal within two months
and continues to grow over time
ETIOLOGY:
- Damage to DNA of basal cells caused by ultraviolet B (UVB)
exposure from the sun and tanning beds
,DX:
- Physical examination and biopsy
- Early diagnosis is vital.
TREATMENT:
- Surgical excision
- Liquid nitrogen freezing or curettage
SKIN CANCER - MELANOMA:
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS:
- A skin mole with specific characteristics:
-Asymmetry: irregular shape
-Border: rough; irregular
- Color: nonuniform
- Diameter: More than ¼ inch
ETIOLOGY:
- Excessive exposure to UVB rays
DX:
- Physical examination and biopsy
- Early diagnosis is vital.
TREATMENT:
- Surgery and
Conditions of the SKELETAL System correct answers >>
SPRAIN
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS:
, - Painful swelling or bruising of a joint area with decreased
mobility
ETIOLOGY:
- The joint being pushed outside of its normal range of motion,
leading to joint and ligament damage
DX:
- Physical exam with imaging
TREATMENT:
- RICE
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
OSTEOPOROSIS
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS:
- Typically, there are no symptoms.
- Severe disease can lead to increased fractures and back pain.
ETIOLOGY:
- Many factors including malnutrition, inadequate calcium
intake/absorption, endocrine disorders, immobilization and lack of
exercise, and aging can lead to bone loss, making bone weaker
and more prone to fracture
DX:
- Measuring bone mineral density using a DEXA scan
TREATMENT:
- Medications can slow bone loss and reduce the risk of fracture
