New symptoms were sleepiness and jumpiness. New signs were positive tests for stiff neck and tense, bulging fontaf nel. Both were suggestively positive screening tests for meningitis.

Answer 1

CHAPTER RECALL

1. A disease of unknown origin is more commonly referred to as

B. Idiopathic.

The word idio means ones, pathy means disease. Disease of one's owns without knowing the exact cause of the origin of the disease is called idiopathic disease.

A. IAtrogenic. Illness related to medical treatment.

C. Nosocomial. Infection occurred during hospitalization.

D. subclinical. Preinfection which has no clinical signs and symptoms.

2. Which one of the following is an example of anatomic pathology?

A. Study of breast biopsy specimen.

Anatomic pathology is used to diagnose a disease and to identify the tissue of various organs for detection of tumors.

B. study of blood glucose level.

It comes under hematology.

C. Study of the concentration of electrolytes in sodium.

Body fluids are coming under clinical chemistry.

D. culture of phlegm (mucus) to detect microorganisms.

Culture deals by the microbiology department.

3. A chronic disease differs from acute disease because

C. The Chronic disease is a slow onset with indistinct symptoms while an acute disease arises rapidly with distinctive symptoms.

The acute disease is sudden and onset and last for a short period of time. Ex: cold, typhoid, sore throat. Chronic disease develops gradually and long lasts for a few months to years. Ex: Osteoporosis, asthma.

4. A latent period

A. Occurs when a disease is present but unaccompanied by signs and symptoms.

A latent period is a period between the exposure and the occurrence of infection. The clinical signs and symptoms will not present in the host during this period.

5. A greater degree of abnormality does not increase the likelihood that disease is present.

False.

The abnormality will increase the likelihood of disease.

6. Standard deviation is which of the following?

A. A measure of the degree of natural variability of disease.

Standard deviation is the samples derived from the original populations and estimates the variability of outcomes in the means of the population.

7. The natural history and development of the disease process

C. Pathogenesis.

It is the process of disease development.

A. Etiology. It is the cause for disease occurrence.

B. Pathophysiology. The physiological process in the disease development.

D. Lesion. An abnormal change in the tissue or organ due to disease or injury.

8. The cause of all disease is environmental injury or genetic defect.

False.

The cause of a disease may be genetic or the environment or combination of two, physical factors, lifestyle habits or even psychological changes.
