Across
  1. 4. concerns the causative factors in a particular disease
  2. 7. cardiac or stroke rehabilitation programs are examples of this level of disease prevention
  3. 8. cells that are undifferentiated with variable nuclear and cell structures and numerous mitotic figures.
  4. 11. a collection of signs and symptoms, often affecting more than one organ, that usually occur together in response to a certain condition.
  5. 13. when a treatment, a procedure, or an error may cause a disease
  6. 15. an area of necrotic tissue, usually associated with a lack or loss of blood supply that is followed by invasion of bacteria
  7. 16. vaccinations, dietary or lifestyle modifications, removal of harmful materials in the environment, and cessation of potentially harmful activities such as smoking
  8. 19. this type of necrosis occurs when fatty tissue is broken down into fatty acids in the presence of infection or certain enzymes
  9. 20. a result of liquefaction causing the tissue to become cold, swollen, and black.
  10. 21. specific local change in the tissue. Such a change may be microscopic or highly visible
  11. 24. refers to programmed cell death, normal occurrence, does not cause inflammation
  12. 27. defines the probability or likelihood for recovery or other outcomes
  13. 29. includes physical, mental, and social well-being in its definition of health
  14. 31. tissue in which the cells vary in size and shape, large nuclei are frequently present, and the rate of mitosis is increased.
  15. 33. new secondary or additional problems that arise after the original disease begins
  16. 34. objective indicators of disease that are obvious to someone other than the affected individual
  17. 35. refers to a decrease in the size of cells, resulting in a reduced tissue
  18. 36. this type of necrosis presents as a thick, yellowish, “cheesy” substance; tuberculosis is known to present with this type of necrosis
  19. 37. a worsening in the severity of the disease or in its signs/symptoms
  20. 39. disease rates within a group
  21. 41. a measure designed to preserve health and prevent the spread of disease
  22. 42. laboratory tests that assist in the diagnosis of a specific disease.
  23. 44. a period or condition in which the manifestations of the disease subside, either permanently or temporarily.
  24. 45. state in which pathologic changes occur, client with no manifestations
  25. 46. is often caused by coagulative necrosis, in which the tissue dries, shrinks, and blackens.
Down
  1. 1. indicate the relative number of deaths resulting from a particular disease.
  2. 2. stage in which no changes occurring, disease present, no clinical signs evident
  3. 3. refers to the identification of a specific disease through evaluation of signs and symptoms, laboratory tests, or other tools
  4. 5. caused by the buildup of gases within tissue and further reduces blood supply.
  5. 6. a condition that triggers an acute episode of a disease process
  6. 9. refers to an increase in the size of individual cells, resulting in an enlarged tissue mass
  7. 10. death of one or more cells or a portion of tissue or organ as a result of irreversible damage, not a programmed cellular event, may cause inflammation
  8. 12. the development of the disease or the sequence of events involved in the tissue changes related to the specific disease process.
  9. 13. an area of dead cells resulting from lack of oxygen
  10. 14. this type of necrosis occurs when the cell proteins are altered or and the cells retain some form for a time after death.
  11. 17. providing suitably modified work for injured workers is an example of this level of disease prevention
  12. 18. occurs when one mature cell type is replaced by a different mature cell type.
  13. 22. “new growth,” and a neoplasm is commonly called a tumor; benign or malignant
  14. 23. this type of necrosis refers to the process by which dead cells liquefy under the influence of certain cell enzymes
  15. 25. when the cause of a disease is unknown, it is termed idiopathic.
  16. 26. signs and symptoms of disease
  17. 28. an increased number of cells resulting in an enlarged tissue mass
  18. 30. a postmortem examination may be performed after death to determine the exact cause of death or the course of the illness and effectiveness of treatment
  19. 32. encompass the tendencies that promote development of a disease in an individual.
  20. 38. subjective feelings, such as pain or nausea.
  21. 40. a definite pathological process with characteristic sets of signs and symptoms
  22. 43. regular exams and screening tests to monitor risk factors for illness are examples of this type of disease prevention
