Short Answer
1. Identify why it is important to study human diseases.
Answer: The study of human diseases is important to understand a variety of other topics in the
healthcare field.
2. Describe the types of pathologists and their roles in the study of diseases.
Answer: A pathologist is a physician who studies diseases. Some pathologists study diseased
tissues to determine the cause of the disease, while others examine surgical tissues to determine
the presence of the disease. Some pathologists may examine human tissues to determine the
cause of death or to find evidence of a criminal act.

Answer:
• Age—teen girls are at a high risk for problem pregnancy.
• Sex—women are at risk for breast cancer.

Case Studies
Case Study 1
Stan Colton was accidentally tripped by another player while running down the field at a soccer
game that you were coaching. He is able to walk the sideline with assistance but has obvious
bleeding on his legs and one arm. You grabbed and took the first-aid box to him.
1. What do you do next?
Answer: Have Stan sit down. Put on gloves, and use a sterile dressing from the first-aid kit to
cover the wound.
2. What equipment might you use to give aid to Stan?
Answer: Apply pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding. Clean and dress the wound with
sterile saline (or water) and dressings from the kit. If the wound is minor (an abrasion or minor
cut), Stan may not need further medical intervention. If bleeding persists or if the wound is deep,
he should be referred to a physician.
3. What standard precaution should apply to this case?
Answer: Standard precautions are always used when bleeding occurs. In this case, with mild
bleeding, gloves are worn while applying pressure and dressing the wound.
Case Study 2
Jane Swenson has been suffering from a cold for about a week and has missed three days of
work. She decides to return to work at the local community center for older adults. Although she
still has a cough and a runny nose, her health has improved since last week.
1. Should Jane still use some precautions to prevent infecting others? If so, what should she
do?
Answer: If Jane is still coughing and has a runny nose, she should probably not return to work, at
present, since she is working with older adults who often have suppressed immune systems. If
she has an elevated temperature, even a low-grade one, she should not be working. However, if
she does not have an elevated temperature and does return to work, she should wear a mask
