MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. C.Q. was recently exposed to group A hemolytic
Streptococcus and subsequently developeda
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
a. a sore throat.
b. streptococcal infection.
c. genetic susceptibility.
N
d. pharyngitis.
ANS: B
U
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
R
clinical manifestation of the disease process.
2. A 17-year-old college-bound student receives a vaccine against an organism that causes
C
meningitis. This is an example of
a. primary prevention.
b. secondary prevention.
EG
c. tertiary prevention.
d. disease treatment.
ANS: A
, Primary prevention is prevention of disease by altering susceptibility or reducing
exposurefor susceptible individuals 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.
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
N
and attempts to alleviate disability and restore effective functioning. Disease treatment
involves management of the disease once it has developed.
U
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.
R
b. secondary prevention.
c. tertiary prevention.
d. disease treatment.
C
ANS: B
Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening, and management of the disease, such
EG
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.
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 expUosuS

usceptibOle individuals. Secondary prevention is the
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 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.
7. A disease that is native to a particular region is called
a. epidemic.
b. endemic.
c. pandemic.
d. ethnographic.
N
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
U
geographic regions, perhaps spreading worldwide.
8. In general, with aging, organ size and function
R
a. increase.
b. decrease.
c. remain the same.
C
d. are unknown.
ANS: B
EG
In general, with aging, organ size and function decrease.
9. The stage during which the patient functions normally, although the disease processes are
well established, is referred to as
a. latent.
b. subclinical.
c. prodromal.
d. convalescence.
ANS: B
The stage during which the patient functions normally, although the disease processes are
well established, is called the subclinical stage. The interval between exposure of a tissue to
an injurious agent and the fN st R

s and symptoms may be called a latent
period or, in the case of infectious diseases, an incubation period. The prodromal period, or
prodrome, refers to the appearance of the first signs and symptoms indicating the onset of a
disease. Convalescence is the stage of recovery after a disease, injury, or surgical operation.
