Risk factors for disease are...
Factors that predispose a disease (age, substance use, genetics).
The direct cause that initiates a disease.
Present at birth.
A sequence of events that take place from the time of initial contact with a pathogen through expression of a disease.
The sequence of anaphylaxis begins when an allergen is introduced to a host, IgE antibodies bind to the allergen releasing histamine and inflammatory mediators. This causes vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, bronchoconstriction, and various other systemic responses. This sequence of events would be described as the ______ of disease.
Pathogenesis
Etiology
Morphologic Changes
Clinical Manifestations
What does a diagnosis require (select all that apply)
A thorough medical history
Physical examination
Diagnostic Testing

Atrophy
Hypertrophy
Hyperplasia
Metaplasia
Deranged cell growth resulting in varying size, shape, and organization is defined as:
Dysplasia
Metaplasia
Calcification
Hyperplasia

Mechanical Force
Radiation
Biologic
Chemical
_____ is the most common etiology of cellular injury, caused by a lack of oxygen to the cells.
Hypoxia (Ischemia)
Falls
Abrasions
Herniated disc
The increase of what electrolyte can cause the activation of spontaneous cell death (apoptosis)?
Calcium
Potassium
Magnesium
Chloride
Which of the following coincides with apoptosis (select all that apply)?
Eliminates injured and/or aged cells
Maintains integrity of plasma membrane
Triggers inflammatory process
Caused by ischemia, trauma, or infection
Can lead to gangrene
Which of the following coincides with necrosis (select all that apply)?
Eliminates injured and/or aged cells
Maintains integrity of plasma membrane
Triggers inflammatory process
Caused by ischemia, trauma, or infection
Can lead to gangrene
What distinguishes ionizing radiation from nonionizing radiation?
Ionizing radiation destroys cells by directly hitting the target molecules in the cell
Ionizing radiation causes vibration and rotation of atoms and molecules
Only nonionizing radiation is used in the treatment of cancer
Nonionizing radiation cannot cause injury
Which explanation of the reason for left ventricular hypertrophy is accurate?
Increased workload of the heart from hypertension leads to the cells to increase in size.
Decreased workload of the heart from hypertension leads to the cells to decrease in number.
Increased workload of the heart from hypertension leads to the cells to increase in number.
Decreased workload of the heart from hypertension leads to the cells to decrease in size.
All the following patients have injuries caused by a physical agent except:
A 7-year-old girl who fell through the ice on the lake playing hockey.
A 17-year-old boy who fractured his femur falling off a 4-wheeler.
A 48-year-old woman who received an electrical shock trying to repair an electrical box.
An 88-year-old man who reports to the nurse he has not eaten in 5 days.
