1. C.Q. suffered a pharyngeal infection after being exposed to group A hemolytic streptococcus lately. A 102.3°F oral temperature, a
skin rash, dysphagia, and a reddish throat mucosa with many pustules are all noted during his clinic evaluation. He reports having tight joints,
malaise, and a sore throat. Antibiotics have been administered after a throat culture revealed a positive result for streptococcus. The cause of
C.Q.'s illness is
a. a sore throat.
b. streptococcal infection.
c. genetic susceptibility.
d. pharyngitis.
ANS: B
The term "etiology" describes the hypothesised cause or causes of a specific illness condition. The disease process manifests as a
sore throat. The term "genetic susceptibility" describes a hereditary propensity to get an illness. Pharyngitis, a clinical symptom of
the disease process, is an inflammation of the throat.

2. A 17-year-old teenager who plans to attend college is immunized against an organism that can cause meningitis. Here's an illustration
of
a. primary prevention.
b. secondary prevention.
c. tertiary prevention.
d. disease treatment.
ANS: A
Primary prevention refers to the management of illness by modifying susceptibility or minimizing exposure for those who are at risk
through immunization. Early disease detection, screening, and treatment constitute secondary prevention. Rehabilitative and
supportive care are components of tertiary prevention, which aims to lessen disability and regain optimal functioning. Treatment
for a disease entails controlling it once it has started.
REF: Pg. 9
3. A low-calorie diet and exercise regimen are prescribed for an obese but otherwise healthy adolescent. Here's an illustration of
a. primary prevention.
b. secondary prevention.
c. tertiary prevention.
d. disease treatment.
ANS: B
The early identification, evaluation, and treatment of the illness—such as recommending diet and exercise to someone who has
already developed obesity—is known as secondary prevention. Primary prevention involves modifying vulnerability or minimizing
exposure for vulnerable individuals in order to prevent disease. Rehabilitative and supportive care are components of tertiar y
prevention, which aims to lessen disability and regain optimal functioning. Treatment for a disease entails controlling it once it has
started.

4. Restricting sodium consumption is advised for a patient with high blood pressure who is otherwise in good health. Here's an illustration
of
a. primary prevention.
b. secondary prevention.
c. tertiary prevention.
d. disease treatment.
ANS: B
The early identification, evaluation, and treatment of the illness, such as by recommending sodium restriction for high blood
pressure, constitute secondary prevention. Primary prevention involves modifying vulnerability or minimizing exposure for

aims to lessen disability and regain optimal functioning. Treatment for a disease entails controlling it once it has started.

5. A middle-aged guy who had a heart attack is advised to take a cholesterol-lowering drug. Here's an illustration of
a. primary prevention.
b. secondary prevention.
c. tertiary prevention.
d. disease treatment.
ANS: C
Rehabilitative and supportive treatment, as well as initiatives to lessen disability and regain effective functioning—such as writing a
prescription for a cholesterol-lowering drug after a heart attack—are examples of tertiary prevention. Primary prevention involves
modifying vulnerability or minimizing exposure for vulnerable individuals in order to prevent disease. Early disease detectio n,
screening, and treatment constitute secondary prevention. Treatment for a disease entails controlling it once it has started.

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.
REF: Pg. 3
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.
REF: Pg. 6
8. In general, with aging, organ size and function
a. increase.
b. decrease.
c. remain the same.

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 first appearance of signs 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.

10. 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).
REF: Pgs. 5-6
11. Socioeconomic factors influence disease development due to (Select all that apply.)
a. genetics.
b. environmental toxins.
c. overcrowding.
d. nutrition.
e. hygiene.
ANS: B, C, D, E
Socioeconomic factors influence disease development via exposure to environmental toxins (occupational) and overcrowding,
nutrition (over- or undernutrition), and hygiene (e.g., in developing countries). Genetics is not influenced by socioeconomic factors.
