PATHO 370 FINAL EXIT 2024 EXAM ALL
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1. The cellular response indicative of injury due to faulty metabolism is
Hydropic swelling
Lactate production
Metaplasia
Intracellular accumulations: intracellular accumulation
2. After surgery to remove a lung tumor, your patient is scheduled forchemotherapy,
which will
Selectively kill tumor cells
Stimulate immune cells to fight the cancerHave
minimal side effects
Kill rapidly dividing cells: kill rapidly dividing cells
3. All these cellular responses are potentially reversible except
Necrosis
Metaplasia
Atrophy
Hyperplasia: Necrosis
,4. A 17-year-old college-bound student receives a vaccine against an organ-ism that causes
meningitis. This is an example of
Primary prevention
Secondary prevention
Tertiary prevention
Disease treatment: primary prevention
5. Which is not normally secreted in response to stress?
Norepinephrine
Cortisol
Epinephrine
Insulin: insulin
6. A disease that is native to a particular region is called
Epidemic
Endemic
Pandemic
Ethnographic: Endemic
,7. Cancer grading is based on
Tumor size Local
invasion
Cell differentiation Metastasis: cell
differentiation
8. Your patient is scheduled for a staging procedure. She wants to know whatthat means. The
correct response is which of the following?
It is a procedure for determining the extent of tumor spread
It is a histologic examination of tissues to determine the degree of tumordifferentiation
Is based on exploratory surgery
It is biochemical testing of tumor cells to determine the genetic basis of thetumor: It is a
procedure for determining the extent of tumor spread
9. The stage during which the patient functions normally, although the diseaseprocesses are well
established, is referred to as
Latent
Subclinical
Prodromal
Convalescence: subclinical
10. After bronchoscopy and histologic examination of a suspected tumor, yourpatient is diagnosed
, with primary bronchial carcinoma. Thus, the tumor
Is benign
Is malignant
Is secondary to cancer elsewhere in the bodyHas spread:
Is malignant
11. Tumor markers (Select all that apply.)
a. are found only in the blood.
b. are produced by normal cells.
c. help determine cancer origin.
d. help identify progression of cancer.
e. include prostatic-specific antigen.: ANS: B, C, D, E
Tumor markers are substances associated with tumor cells that may be helpful in identifying their tissue
of origin and progression and proliferation of cancer cells. Most tumor markers are not very specific for
cancer since normal cells in the tissueof origin also produce them. Tumor markers include prostatic-
specific antigen. Some
