A certain disease is currently found in 1 of every 10 peopleA
in the country and 1,000 people contract the disease
yearly. The population of the country is 4,500,000.
Which of the following statements is correct?
a. The prevalence of the disease is 10% and the
incidence is .02%.
b.The prevalence of the disease is .02% and the
incidence is 10%.
c. Neither is correct.
d.There is insufficient data
In relation to disease development, the term "etiology"
B refers to which of the following?
a.number of people with the disease
b.cause of the disease
c. definition of the disease
d.outcome of the disease
Which of the following is(are) true about "symptoms"? D
a.objective and measurable
b.the same as "signs"
c. both of the above
d.neither of the above
, In 1992, there were 980 deaths in a Midwestern city with a
B population of 1,000,000. At the beginning of that year, 900
cases of AIDS existed in this population. During the
year, 250 new cases of AIDS were diagnosed, and 75
people died of the disease in 1992.
Using the data given above, what was the incidence rate
(per 100,000 population) at the end of 1992 for AIDS?
a. 6
b.25
c. 88
d.116
What level of prevention is a blood pressure screening
B program for high school students who are pregnant?
a.primary
b. secondary
c. tertiary
Mr. Forbes complains of "indigestion" and becomes C
sweaty and pale. His wife takes him to the Emergency
Department at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. A
cardiac catheterization 2 days later shows partial
blockage of his right coronary artery (RCA).
Blockage of the right coronary artery can lead to
myocardial cell injury because it results in which of the
following?
a.bilirubin accumulation in myocardial cells
b.alteration in the genetic material of myocardial cells
c. reduced energy production in myocardial cells
d.activation of the complement system
When myocardial cells are injured, the function of the Na-
A
K membrane pump may be impaired. Which of the
following may then result?
a.intracellular sodium will increase
b.extracellular potassium will decrease
c. cell volume will decrease
d.all of the above
Mr. Forbes is being prepared for open heart surgery when
A
he suffers a myocardial infarction in which a large part of
his left ventricle has suffered lethal cell injury.
Mr. Forbes' CPK-MB and LDH1, enzymes associated with
myocardial cells, are significantly elevated. What is the
best explanation for this?
a.It is a sign that necrotic myocardial cells have
released their cytoplasmic contents into the blood.
b.It is a sign of reversible fatty accumulation in
the myocardial cells
c. It is a sign that the myocardial cells are
undergoing hypertrophy.
d. None of the above.
