Question 1 of 5
A _____________ is formed when the end of the intestine is brought out of the body through an artificial opening in the abdomen.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Stoma. A stoma is formed when the end of the intestine is brought out of the body through an artificial opening in the abdomen. This allows waste to pass out of the body when normal bowel function is impaired. Stomatitis (choice B) is inflammation of the mouth and lips, unrelated to the intestine. Hemorrhoid (choice C) is a swollen vein in the rectum or anus, not an artificial opening in the abdomen. Contracture (choice D) is the shortening of muscles or tendons, not related to intestinal function.
Question 2 of 5

This itching can lead to skin damage, inflammation, and recurrent flare-ups. Other choices are incorrect because: A: Change in size of a mole is not typically associated with atopic dermatitis. C: Cancer is not a direct complication of atopic dermatitis. D: While atopic dermatitis can predispose individuals to secondary infections like yeast infections, it is not the primary problem associated with atopic dermatitis.

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hemoptysis. Hemoptysis refers to the coughing up of blood from the respiratory tract. Halitosis (A) is bad breath, not related to coughing up blood. Hepatitis (C) is inflammation of the liver, not related to respiratory bleeding. Hypoxia (D) is a condition of decreased oxygen in tissues, not specific to coughing up blood. Hemoptysis specifically refers to the symptom of coughing up blood from the respiratory tract, making it the correct choice in this context.
Question 4 of 5
A progressive disease that causes rigid muscles tremors and pill-rolling is
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Parkinson's disease. This neurodegenerative disorder is characterized by rigid muscles, tremors (especially at rest), and the distinctive pill-rolling movement of the fingers. Epilepsy (A) is a neurological disorder with recurrent seizures. Meniere's disease (C) affects the inner ear, causing vertigo and hearing loss. Dementia (D) refers to a decline in cognitive function. Parkinson's disease best fits the symptoms described in the question, making it the correct answer.
Question 5 of 5
A(n) _____________ disease is a disease in which the body is unable to recognize its own tissue.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Autoimmune. In an autoimmune disease, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, unable to differentiate between self and non-self antigens. This results in inflammation and tissue damage. Opportunistic diseases occur when the immune system is weakened, not due to a failure in self-recognition. Progressive diseases refer to conditions that worsen over time, not specifically related to self-recognition. Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens, not by the body's immune system attacking itself.
