| 100% CORRECT
idiopathic - ANSWER- unknown cause
Eitology - ANSWER- cause of disease
iatrogenic - ANSWER- result of an unintended or unwanted medical treatment
Pathogenesis - ANSWER- development of disease from initial stimulation
Symptoms are - ANSWER- subjective characteristics of a disease that only the patient can feel
incubation period/ Latent - ANSWER- interval between initial infection and first signs and
symptoms
prodomal phase - ANSWER- time of mild signs or symptoms indicating onset of disease
Manifest Phase - ANSWER- the disease reaches its full intensity, and signs and symptoms
attain their greatest severity
convalescence - ANSWER- gradual recovery after an illness
Signs - ANSWER- Observed and objective manifestations
Symptoms - ANSWER- Subjective feelings from patient
syndrome - ANSWER- S/S that has not been identified
exacerbation - ANSWER- a sudden increase in severity of disease or signs or symptoms
Remission - ANSWER- improvement or absence of signs of disease
subclinical - ANSWER- Stage of a disease or disorder not severe enough to produce
symptoms that can be detected or diagnosed.
sequela - ANSWER- subsequent pathologic condition resulting from an acute illness
endemic disease - ANSWER- local region or native disease
epidemic disease - ANSWER- disease acquired by many hosts in a given area in a short time
, pandemic disease - ANSWER- worldwide epidemic
secondary prevention - ANSWER- Efforts to limit the effects of an injury or illness that you
cannot completely prevent. Colonoscopies, treating for obesity, high BP but being treated for it,
primary prevention - ANSWER- Efforts to prevent an injury or illness from ever occurring.
Vaccinations
tertiary prevention - ANSWER- actions taken to contain damage once a disease or disability
has progressed beyond its early stages.
Therapies
Homeostasis - ANSWER- A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal state; the
regulation of any aspect of body chemistry, such as blood glucose, around a particular level
Allostasis - ANSWER- process by which the body achieves stability through physiological
change
GAS stages of stress - ANSWER- -alarm
-resistance
-exhaustion
alarm stage of GAS - ANSWER- organism recognizes stress, begins to respond. Fight or flight
and sympathetic nervous system engages
epinephrine and norepinephrine
resistance stage of GAS - ANSWER- second stage;
body functions normalize while responding to the stressor. The body attempts to cope with the
stressor
normalization/resolution of glucocorticoid secretion, fight or flight, and secretions and
epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Exhaustion stage of GAS - ANSWER- third stage;
if the client reaches this stage, body functions are no longer able to maintain an adaptive
response to the stressor
increased glucocorticoid secretions followed by dysregulation
ALLOSTATIC OVERLOAD
