Questions With Correct Answers
What |is |the |definition |of |pathophysiology? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |study |of |the |body's |
response |to |altered |function |or |disease
Name |the |5 |etiologic |factors |and |give |an |example |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-1. |physical |force |
(burns)
2. |chemical |agents |(poison)
3. |bioloigcal |agents |(bacteria)
4. |genetic |predisposition |
5. |nutritional |excesses/deficiencies
What |are |2 |types |of |risk |factors? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-congenital |and |acquired
What |is |the |difference |between |mophology |and |histology? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-
morphology |is |the |structure |of |cells |or |tissues |whereas |histology |is |the |study |of |cells |at |the |
tissue |level
Describe |the |difference |between |signs |and |symptoms |and |given |an |example |of |each |- |
CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A |sign |is |an |objecetive |manifestation |(fever, |edema) |whereas |a |
symptom |is |a |subjective |complaint |(dizziness, |pain, |difficulty |breathing)
What |are |3 |important |processes |when |coming |to |a |diagnosis? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-1. |
patient |history
2. |physical |examiniation
3. |diagnostic |testing
, Define |epidemiology |and |some |things |that |it |tracks |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |study |of |
disease |occurence |in |human |populations. |For |example, |they |may |track |age, |rae, |nutritional |
habits, |lifestryle, |and/or |geographic |location
Incidence |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |number |of |new |cases |in |a |population |at |risk |during |a |
specified |time
Prevalence |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-number |of |people |with |the |disease |in |a |population |at |a |
given |time
Validity |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-how |a |tool |measures |what |it |is |intended |to |measure
Reliabilty |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-likelihood |of |the |same |result |occuring |with |repeated |testing
Sensitivity |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-proportion |of |people |with |a |disease |who |test |positive |for |
that |disease
Specificity |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-people |without |tthe |disease |who |test |negative |for |that |
disease
Mortality |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Cause |of |death |in |a |population; |death |rate
Morbidity |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-effect |of |an |illness |on |one's |life
Primary |Prevention |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Attempts |to |elimiate |risk |factors |in |order |ro |
prevent |disease |from |occuring |(ex: |taking |a |multivitamin |to |prevent |nutritional |deficiencies)
