answered to pass
what is Pathophysiology? - correct answer ✔✔physiology of altered health; the study of changes in cells,
tissues, and organs caused by disease
Definitions:
etiology-
pathogenesis- - correct answer ✔✔cause of disease
how the disease evolves
clinical courses of disease process include acute, subacute, and chronic. what do these mean? - correct
answer ✔✔acute- fresh
subacute- starting to get better
chronic- effects on a daily basis pretty much
what are etiological factors? (causes of disease) - correct answer ✔✔biologic factors, physical factors,
chemical factors, and nutritional abnormalities
Definitions associated with disease:
validity-
reliability-
sensitivity-
specificity- - correct answer ✔✔something measures what it is suppose to
if you repeat you get the same results each time
probability of people testing positive
, probability of people testing negative
What is epidemiology? - correct answer ✔✔the study of disease occurance
Definitions under epidemiology:

what does natural history of disease mean? - correct answer ✔✔progression of a disease without
intervention
what is a cohort study? what does it determine? - correct answer ✔✔a study of a group of people over a
period of time in order to determine risk factors
Primary prevention:
Secondary Prevention:
Tertiary Prevention: - correct answer ✔✔remove risk factors to prevent disease
detect disease early (no s+s or rx)
prevent disease from getting worse
