MULTIPLE CHOICE b
1. C.Q. was recently exposed to group A hemolytic Streptococcus and subsequently developed a
b b b b b b b b b b b b
pharyngeal infection. His clinic examination reveals an oral temperature of 102.3°F, skin rash,
b b b b b b b b b b b b b
dysphagia, and reddened throat mucosa with multiple pustules. He complains of sore throat,
b b b b b b b b b b b b b
malaise, and joint stiffness. A throat culture is positive for Streptococcus, and antibiotics have
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
been prescribed. The etiology of C.Q.’s disease is
b b b b b b b b
a. a sore throat. b b
b. streptococcal infection. b
c. genetic susceptibility. b
d. pharyngitis.
ANS: B b
Etiology refers to the proposed cause or causes of a particular disease process. A sore throat is
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
the manifestation of the disease process. Genetic susceptibility refers to inherited tendency to
b b b b b b b b b b b b b
develop a disease. Pharyngitis refers to inflammation of the throat and is also a clinical

manifestation of the disease process.

ANS: A b
Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for
b b b b b b b b b b b b
susceptible individuals, in this case by providing vaccination. Secondary prevention is the
b b b b b b b b b b b b
early detection, screening, and management of the disease. Tertiary prevention includes
b b b b b b b b b b b
rehabilitative and supportive care and attempts to alleviate disability and restore effective
b b b b b b b b b b b b
functioning. Disease treatment involves management of the disease once it has developed.

prescribing diet and exercise for an individual who has already developed obesity. Primary
b b b b b b b b b b b b b
prevention is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for

susceptible individuals. Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and

bthis disease. This stage of illness is called the
b b b b b b b b stage.
a. prodromal

c. sequela
d. convalescence
ANS: B b
Incubation refers to the interval between exposure of a tissue to an injurious agent and the first
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
bappearance of signs and symptoms. In infectious diseases, this period is often called the
b b b b b b b b b b b b b
bincubation (latent) period. Prodromal refers to the appearance of the first signs and symptoms
b b b b b b b b b b b b b
bindicating the onset of a disease. These are often nonspecific, such as headache, malaise,
b b b b b b b b b b b b b
banorexia, and nausea, which are associated with a number of different diseases. Sequela refers
b b b b b b b b b b b b b

A disease that is native to a particular region is called endemic. An epidemic is a disease that
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
spreads to many individuals at the same time. Pandemics are epidemics that affect large
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b

d. convalescence.
ANS: B b
The stage during which the patient functions normally, although the disease processes are well
b b b b b b b b b b b b b
established, is called the subclinical stage. The interval between exposure of a tissue to an
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
injurious agent and the first appearance of signs and symptoms may be called a latent period
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
or, in the case of infectious diseases, an incubation period. The prodromal period, or
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
prodrome, refers to the appearance of the first signs and symptoms indicating the onset of a
