Question

question 226
idiopathic epilepsy is:
o associated with chorea
o caused by trauma
o without a known cause
o associated with apoplexy

question 227
the medical term asthma literally means:
o gasping
o panting
o puffed up
o hard to breathe

question 228
__ is caused by foreign bodies or pathogenic organisms that cause inflammation and petechial hemorrhages.
o pterygium
o dacryoadenitis
o conjunctivitis
o stye

Explanation:

• Question 226: Idiopathic means without a known cause. Chorea is a movement disorder, trauma - related epilepsy would be due to injury (not idiopathic), and apoplexy is related to stroke - like events.
• Question 227: The Greek root of "asthma" means gasping. "Panting" is a different respiratory pattern, "puffed up" is not the literal meaning, and "hard to breathe" is a general symptom description rather than the literal etymology.
• Question 228: Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the conjunctiva often caused by foreign bodies or pathogens. Pterygium is a growth on the eye, dacryoadenitis is inflammation of the lacrimal gland, and a stye is an infection of the eyelash follicle (not typically with petechial hemorrhages from foreign bodies/pathogens in the same way as conjunctivitis).

Answer:

• Question 226: without a known cause
• Question 227: gasping
• Question 228: conjunctivitis
