/GALENU/KEISER
Which best describes pathophysiology?
A. Study of normal body structure only
B. Study of how disease affects normal anatomy and physiology
C. Study of medication effects on the body
D. Study of population health trends only
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Pathophysiology explains how normal body function is disrupted by disease processes,
linking structural and functional changes to illness development.
Which of the following is included in pathophysiology?
A. Etiology only
B. Pathogenesis only
C. Clinical manifestations only
D. All of the above
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Pathophysiology includes etiology (cause), pathogenesis (development), and clinical
manifestations (signs and symptoms), along with treatment implications.
Which term refers to the cause of a disease?
,A. Pathogenesis
B. Etiology
C. Prognosis
D. Diagnosis
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Etiology refers to the cause or origin of a disease, which may be known or idiopathic
(unknown).
Which term describes how a disease develops over time?
A. Etiology
B. Pathogenesis
C. Manifestation
D. Prognosis
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Pathogenesis explains the progression of disease from initial trigger to full clinical
expression.
Which are clinical manifestations?
A. Causes of disease
B. Disease progression
C. Signs and symptoms
D. Treatment plans
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Clinical manifestations are the observable (signs) and reported (symptoms) evidence of
disease.
Which is an example of objective data?
A. “I feel dizzy”
B. Pain score of 8/10
, C. Blood pressure 90/60 mmHg
D. “I feel tired”
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Objective data is measurable and observable, such as vital signs or lab results.
Which is an example of subjective data?
A. Rash on skin
B. Low blood pressure
C. Patient reports headache
D. Bleeding wound
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Subjective data comes from patient reports and cannot be directly measured by the nurse.
Which best defines epidemiology?
A. Study of individual disease treatment
B. Study of drug effects
C. Study of disease patterns in populations
D. Study of anatomy
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Epidemiology focuses on how diseases spread and affect populations.
Which is an example of primary prevention?
A. Mammogram screening
B. Insulin therapy
C. Vaccination
D. Dialysis
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Primary prevention prevents disease before it occurs, such as immunization.
