Questions With Correct Answers
Pathophysiology |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |study |of |functional |or |physiologic |changes |in |the
|body |that |result |from |disease |processes
abnormal |states; |specifically |: |the |functional |changes |that |accompany |a |particular |syndrome |
or |disease
Primary |Prevention |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Goal |is |to |protect |healthy |people |from |developing
|a |disease |or |injury
Ex: |Immunizations, |Education |programs |on: |bike |helmets, |STD |prevention, |diet |and |exercise
Secondary |Prevention |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |goal |is |to |halt |or |slow |the |progress |of |the |
disease |in |its |earliest |stages, |limit |long-term |disability |and |prevent |re-injury
Ex: |Heads |up |concussion |programs, |Routine |colonoscopies |and |mammograms
Tertiary |Prevention |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |goals |include |preventing |further |physical |
deterioration |and |maximizing |quality |of |life.
Ex: |Cardiac |rehabilitation |programs |and |Patient |support |groups
Idiopathic |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-cause |of |disease |is |unknown
Iatrogenic |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-disease |caused |by |treatment, |procedure |or |error
Predisposing |factors |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-factors |that |indicate |a |high-risk |for |disease
, Prophylaxis |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Interventions |to |preserve |health |or |prevent |spread |of |
disease
Can |be |at |an |individual |or |community |level
Signs |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Objective |indicators |of |disease |that |are |apparent |to |someone |
other |than |the |affected |individual

Symptoms |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Subjective |indicators |of |disease |that |only |the |patient |can |
perceive
Example: |anxiety, |pain, |fatigue
Local |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Signs |& |Symptoms |at |the |site |of |the |problem
Example: |pain, |redness, |swelling |and |increased |warmth |at |the |site |of |a |puncture |wound
Systemic |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Indicators |of |general |illness |or |indicators |that |disease |is |
affecting |the |entire |body
Precipitating |factor |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-condition |that |triggers |an |exacerbation
Exacerbation |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Signs |& |Symptoms |of |the |disease |increase |or |progress
Atrophy |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Decrease |in |the |size |of |cells
Results |in |reduced |tissue |mass
Hypertrophy |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Increase |in |cell |size
Results |in |enlarged |tissue |mass
