PATH 370 MIDTERM 1. After suffering a heart attack, a middle-aged man is counseled to take a cholesterol-lowering medication. This is an example of c. tertiary prevention 2. A patient has been exposed to meningococcal meningitis, but is not yet demonstrating signs of this disease. This stage of illness is called the _____ stage. a. prodromal b. latent c. sequela d. convalescence 3.

A disease that is native to a particular region is called a. epidemic. b. endemic. c. pandemic. d. ethnographic. 6. 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 disease is a. genetic susceptibility. b. pharyngitis. c. streptococcal infection. d. a sore throat. 7. The stage during which the patient functions normally, although the disease processes are well established, is referred as a. latent b. subclinical c. prodromal d. convalescence 8. When the cause is unknown, a condition is said to be idiopathic a. true b. false 9. Primary level of prevention Prevention before you ever have a disease; immunization 10. Many of the responses to stress are attributed to activation of the sympathetic nervous system and are mediated by?
a. norepinephrine. b. cortisol. c. glucagon. d. ACTH 11. Allostasis is best defined as a. steady-state. b. a state of equilibrium, of balance within the organism. c. the process by which the body heals following disease. d. the overall process of adaptive change necessary to maintain survival and well-being. 12. Selye's three phases of the stress response include all the following except? a. allostasis. b. resistance. c. alarm. d. exhaustion. 13. All the following stress-induced hormones increase blood glucose except? a. aldosterone. b. cortisol. c. norepinephrine. d. epinephrine 14. Your patient eats "lots of fat," leads a "stressful" life, and has smoked "about two packs a day for the last 40 years." Her chronic morning cough recently worsened, and she was diagnosed with a lung mass. The most likely contributing factor for development of lung cancer in this patient is a. stressful lifestyle. b. high-fat diet c. cigarette smoking d. urban pollutants 15. The nurse is swabbing a patient's throat to test for streptococcal pharyngitis. The nurse must understand that tests such as this differ in the probability that they will be positive for a condition when applied to a person with the condition; this probability is termed sensitivity. True False 16. After surgery to remove a lung tumor, your patient is scheduled for chemotherapy, which will a. kill rapidly dividing cells. b. have minimal side effects. c. selectively kill tumor cells. d. stimulate immune cells to fight the cancer. 17. The primary adaptive purpose of the substances produced in the alarm stage is a. energy and repair. b. invoke resting state. c. produce exhaustion. d. set a new baseline steady-state 18. Persistence of the alarm stage will ultimately result in
a. stress reduction. b. permanent damage and death. c. movement into the resistance stage. d. exhaustion of the sympathetic nervous system 19. The effect of stress on the immune system a. is unknown. b. has been demonstrated to be non-existent in studies. c. most often involves enhancement of the immune system. d. may involve enhancement or impairment the immune system. 20. Aldosterone may increase during stress, leading to(Select all that apply.) a. decreased urinary output. b. increased blood potassium. c. increased sodium retention. d. increased blood volume. e. decreased blood pressure. 21.
