MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. C.Q. was recently exposed to group A hemolytic Streptococcus and subsequently developed a
pharyngeal infection. His clinic examination reveals an oral temperature of 102.3°F, skin rash,
dysphagia, and reddened throat mucosa with multiple pustules. He complains of sore throat,
malaise, and joint stiffness. A throat culture is positive for Streptococcus, and antibiotics have
been prescribed. The etiology of C.Q.’s illness is
a. a sore throat.
b. streptococcal infection.
c. genetic susceptibility.
d. pharyngitis.
RIGHT ANS:>> B
Rationale :->> Etiology refers to the proposed cause or causes of a particular illness
process. A sore throat isthe manifestation of the illness process. Genetic susceptibility
refers to inherited tendency to develop a illness. Pharyngitis refers to inflammation of
the throat and is also a clinical manifestation of the illness process.
2. A 17-year-old college-bound student receives a vaccine against an organism that causes
meningitis. This is an example of
a. primary prevention.
b. secondary prevention.
c. tertiary prevention.
d. illness treatment.
RIGHT ANS:>> A
Rationale :->> Primary prevention is prevention of illness by altering susceptibility or
reducing exposure forsusceptible individuals, in this case by providing vaccination.
Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening, and management of the illness.
Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and attempts to
alleviate disability and restore effective functioning. Illness treatment involves
management of the illness once it has developed.
3. An obese but otherwise healthy teen is given a prescription for a low-calorie diet and exercise
program. This is an example of
a. primary prevention.
b. secondary prevention.
c. tertiary prevention.
d. illness treatment.
RIGHT ANS:>> B
Rationale :->> Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening, and management
of the illness such asprescribing diet and exercise for an individual who has already
developed obesity. Primary prevention is prevention of illness by altering susceptibility
or reducing exposure for susceptible individuals. Tertiary prevention includes
rehabilitative and supportive care and attempts to alleviate disability and restore
effective functioning. Illness treatment involves management of the illness once it has
developed.
4. A client with high blood pressure who is otherwise healthy is counseled to restrict sodium
intake. This is an example of
a. primary prevention.
b. secondary prevention.
c. tertiary prevention.
, d. illness treatment.
RIGHT ANS:>> B
Rationale :->> Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening, and management
of the illness, suchas by prescribing sodium restriction for high blood pressure. Primary
prevention is prevention of illness by altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for
susceptible individuals. Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care
and attempts to alleviate disability and restore effective functioning. Illness treatment
involves management of the illness once ithas developed.
5. After suffering a heart attack, a middle-aged man is counseled to take a cholesterol-lowering
medication. This is an example of
a. primary prevention.
b. secondary prevention.
c. tertiary prevention.
d. illness treatment.
RIGHT ANS:>> C
Rationale :->> Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitative and supportive care and
attempts to alleviate disability and restore effective functioning such as prescribing a
cholesterol-lowering medication following a heart attack. Primary prevention is
prevention of illness by alteringsusceptibility or reducing exposure for susceptible
individuals. Secondary prevention is the early detection, screening, and management of
the illness. Illness treatment involves management of the illness once it has developed.
6. A client has been exposed to meningococcal meningitis, but is not yet demonstrating signs of
this illness. This stage of illness is called the stage.
a. prodromal
b. latent
c. sequela
d. convalescence
RIGHT ANS:>> B
Rationale :->> Incubation refers to the interval between exposure of a tissue to an
injurious agent and the firstappearance of signs and symptoms. In infectious illnesss,
this period is often called the incubation (latent) period. Prodromal refers to the
appearance of the first signs and symptoms indicating the onset of a illness. These are
often nonspecific, such as headache, malaise, anorexia, and nausea, which are
associated with a number of different illnesss. Sequela refersto subsequent pathologic
condition resulting from a illness. Convalescence is the stage of recovery after a illness,
injury, or surgical operation.
7. A illness that is native to a particular region is called
a. epidemic.
b. endemic.
c. pandemic.
d. ethnographic.
, RIGHT ANS:>> B
Rationale :->> A illness that is native to a particular region is called endemic. An
epidemic is a illness thatspreads to many individuals at the same time. Pandemics are
epidemics that affect large geographic regions, perhaps spreading worldwide.
Ethnographic does not describe a illness distribution pattern.
8. In general, with aging, organ size and function
a. increase.
b. decrease.
c. remain the same.
d. are unknown.
RIGHT ANS:>> B
In general, with aging, organ size and function decrease.
9. The stage during which the client functions normally, although the illness processes are well
established, is referred to as
a. latent.
b. subclinical.
c. prodromal.
d. convalescence.
RIGHT ANS:>> B
Rationale :->> The stage during which the client functions normally, although the illness
processes are wellestablished, is called the subclinical stage. The interval between
exposure of a tissue to an injurious agent and the first appearance of signs and
symptoms may be called a latent period or, in the case of infectious illnesss, an
incubation period. The prodromal period, or prodrome, refers to the appearance of
the first signs and symptoms indicating the onset of a illness. Convalescence is the stage
of recovery after a illness, injury, or surgical operation.
MULTIPLE RESPONSE
1. Your client’s red blood cell count is slightly elevated today. This might be explained by
(Select all that apply.)
a. gender difference.
b. situational factors.
c. normal variation.
d. cultural variation.
e. illness.
RIGHT ANS:>> A, B, C, E
Rationale :->> Gender, situations (e.g., altitude), normal variations, and illness may all
determine red bloodcell count. Culture affects how manifestations are perceived (normal
versus abnormal).
2. Socioeconomic factors influence illness development because of (Select all that apply.)
a. genetics.
b. environmental toxins.
c. overcrowding.
d. nutrition.
e. hygiene.
