MULTIPLE CHOICE
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.
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 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.

2024 QUESTIONS AND ANSWES
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.
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.
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.

2024 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
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 expUosuSre fNor sTusceptibOle 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.
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.
8. In general, with aging, organ size and function

2024 QUESTIONS AND ANSWES
a. increase.
b. decrease.
c. remain the same.
d. are unknown.
ANS: B
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 fNirUstRapSpIeaNraGnTceBo.f CsigOnMs 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.
MULTIPLE RESPONSE
1. Your patient’s red blood cell is slightly elevated today. This might be explained by (Select all that
apply.)
a. gender difference.
b. situational factors.
c. normal variation.
d. cultural variation.
e. illness.
ANS: A, B, C, E
Gender, situations (e.g., altitude), normal variations, and illness may all determine red blood cell count.
Culture affects how manifestations are perceived (normal versus abnormal).
