1. C.Q. was recently exposed to group A hemolytic Streptococcus and
subsequently developed a pharyngeal infection. His clinic examination
reveals an oral temperature of 102.3°F, 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
a. a sore throat.
b. streptococcal infection.
c. genetic susceptibility.
d. pharyngitis.
ANS: b
Etiology refers to the proposed cause or causes of a particular disease
process. A sore throat is the manifestation of the disease process.
Genetic susceptibility refers to inherited tendency to develop a disease.
Pharyngitis refers to inflammation of the throat and is also a clinical
manifestation of the disease process.
PTS: 1
2.A 17-year-old college-bound student receives a vaccine against an
organism that causes meningitis. This is an example of
a. primary prevention.
b. secondary prevention.
c. tertiary prevention.
d. disease treatment.
ANS: a
Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or
reducing exposure for susceptible individuals, in this case by providing
vaccination. Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening, and
management of the disease. Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative
,and supportive care and attempts to alleviate disability and restore
effective functioning. Disease treatment involves management of the
disease once it has developed.
PTS: 1
3.An obese but otherwise healthy teen is given a prescription for a
low-calorie diet and exercise program. This is an example of
a. primary prevention.
b. secondary prevention.
c. tertiary prevention.
d. disease treatment.
ANS: b
Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening, and management
of the disease such as prescribing diet and exercise for an individual who
has already developed obesity. Primary prevention is prevention of
disease by altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for susceptible
individuals. Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive
care and attempts to alleviate disability and restore effective functioning.
Disease treatment involves management of the disease once it has
developed.
PTS: 1
4.A patient with high blood pressure who is otherwise healthy is
counseled to restrict sodium intake. This is an example of
a. primary prevention.
b. secondary prevention.
c. tertiary prevention.
d. disease treatment.
ANS: b
Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening, and management
of the disease, such as by prescribing sodium restriction for high blood
pressure. Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering
susceptibility or reducing exposure for susceptible individuals. Tertiary
,prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and attempts to
alleviate disability and restore effective functioning. Disease treatment
involves management of the disease once it has developed.
PTS: 1
5. After suffering a heart attack, a middle-aged man is counseled to take
a cholesterol-lowering medication. This is an example of
a. primary prevention.
b. secondary prevention.
c. tertiary prevention.
d. disease treatment.
ANS: c
Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and
attempts to alleviate disability and restore effective functioning such as
prescribing a cholesterol-lowering medication following a heart attack.
Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or
reducing exposure for susceptible individuals. Secondary prevention is
the early detection, screening, and management of the disease. Disease
treatment involves management of the disease once it has developed.
PTS: 1
6.A patient has been exposed to meningococcal meningitis, but is not
yet demonstrating signs of this disease. This stage of illness is called the
_____ stage.
a. prodromal
b. latent
c. sequela
d. convalescence
ANS: b
Incubation refers to the interval between exposure of a tissue to an
injurious agent and the first appearance of signs and symptoms. In
infectious diseases, this period is often called the incubation (latent)
period. Prodromal refers to the appearance of the first signs and
, symptoms indicating the onset of a disease. These are often nonspecific,
such as headache, malaise, anorexia, and nausea, which are associated
with a number of different diseases. Sequela refers to subsequent
pathologic condition resulting from a disease. Convalescence is the stage
of recovery after a disease, injury, or surgical operation.
PTS: 1
7. A disease that is native to a particular region is called
a. epidemic.
b. endemic.
c. pandemic.
d. ethnographic.
ANS: b
A disease that is native to a particular region is called endemic. An
epidemic is a disease that spreads to many individuals at the same time.
Pandemics are epidemics that affect large geographic regions, perhaps
spreading worldwide. Ethnographic does not describe a disease
distribution pattern.
PTS: 1
8. In general, with aging, organ size and function
a. increase.
b. decrease.
c. remain the same.
d. are unknown.
ANS: b
In general, with aging, organ size and function decrease.
PTS: 1
9. The stage during which the patient functions normally, although the
disease processes are well established, is referred to as
a. latent.
b. subclinical.
