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

2. A 17-year-old college-bound student receives a vaccine against an organism that causes
f f f f f f f f f f f
meningitis. This is an example of
f f f f f f
a. primary prevention. f
b. secondary prevention. f
c. tertiary prevention. f
d. disease treatment. f
ANS: A f
Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for
f f f f f f f f f f f f
susceptible individuals, in this case by providing vaccination. Secondary prevention is the early
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
detection, screening, and management of the disease. Tertiary prevention includes
f f f f f f f f f f
rehabilitative and supportive care and attempts to alleviate disability and restore effective
f f f f f f f f f f f f
functioning. Disease treatment involves management of the disease once it has developed.

3. An obese but otherwise healthy teen is given a prescription for a low-calorie diet and exercise
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
program. This is an example of
f f f f f f
a. primary prevention. f
b. secondary prevention. f
c. tertiary prevention. f
d. disease treatment. f
ANS: B f
Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening, and management of the disease such as
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
prescribing diet and exercise for an individual who has already developed obesity. Primary
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
prevention is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for
f f f f f f f f f f f f
susceptible individuals. Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and
f f f f f f f f f f
attempts to alleviate disability and restore effective functioning. Disease treatment involves
f f f f f f f f f f f
management of the disease once it has developed.

,4. A patient with high blood pressure who is otherwise healthy is counseled to restrict sodium
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
intake. This is an example of
f f f f f f
a. primary prevention. f
b. secondary prevention. f
c. tertiary prevention. f
d. disease treatment. f
ANS: B f
Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening, and management of the disease, such as
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
by prescribing sodium restriction for high blood pressure. Primary prevention is prevention of
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
disease by altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for susceptible individuals. Tertiary
f f f f f f f f f f f
prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and attempts to alleviate disability and
f f f f f f f f f f f f
restore effective functioning. Disease treatment involves management of the disease once it has
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
developed.

5. After suffering a heart attack, a middle-aged man is counseled to take a cholesterol-lowering
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
medication. This is an example of
f f f f f f
a. primary prevention. f
b. secondary prevention. f
c. tertiary prevention. f
d. disease treatment. f
ANS: C f
Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and attempts to alleviate
f f f f f f f f f f
disability and restore effective functioning such as prescribing a cholesterol-lowering
f f f f f f f f f f
medication following a heart attack. Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
susceptibility or reducing exposure for susceptible individuals. Secondary prevention is the
f f f f f f f f f f f
early detection, screening, and management of the disease. Disease treatment involves

management of the disease once it has developed.

6. A patient has been exposed to meningococcal meningitis, but is not yet demonstrating signs of
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
fthis disease. This stage of illness is called the
f f f f f f f f stage.
a. prodromal
b. latent
c. sequela
d. convalescence
ANS: B f
Incubation refers to the interval between exposure of a tissue to an injurious agent and the first
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
appearance of signs and symptoms. In infectious diseases, this period is often called the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
incubation (latent) period. Prodromal refers to the appearance of the first signs and symptoms
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
indicating the onset of a disease. These are often nonspecific, such as headache, malaise,
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
anorexia, and nausea, which are associated with a number of different diseases. Sequela refers
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
to subsequent pathologic condition resulting from a disease. Convalescence is the stage of
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
recovery after a disease, injury, or surgical operation.

7. A disease that is native to a particular region is called
f f f f f f f f f f
a. epidemic.
b. endemic.
c. pandemic.
d. ethnographic.
, ANS: B f
A disease that is native to a particular region is called endemic. An epidemic is a disease that
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
spreads to many individuals at the same time. Pandemics are epidemics that affect large
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
geographic regions, perhaps spreading worldwide. Ethnographic does not describe a disease
f f f f f f f f f f f
distribution pattern.

8. In general, with aging, organ size and function
f f f f f f f
a. increase.
b. decrease.
c. remain the same. f f
d. are unknown. f
ANS: B f
In general, with aging, organ size and function decrease.

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