Question

question 34
colds are treated symptomatically, which means:
○ symptoms are unobservable
○ symptoms run their course
○ symptoms are ignored
○ symptoms are treated with medications

question 35
\fibromyalgia\ literally means:
○ fibers/muscle/inflamed
○ fibers/muscle/pain
○ fibers/nerve/pain
○ fibers/stiff/inflamed

question 36
___ is a pathologic condition where the retina becomes partially or completely separated from the choroid portion of the eye or vascular layer.
○ retinitis pigmentosa
○ retinal detachment
○ hyphema
○ strabismus

Explanation:

• Question 34: Symptomatic treatment means addressing the symptoms. Medications are used to treat symptoms (e.g., fever - reducing meds for fever in colds). Symptoms are observable (so first option wrong), and symptomatic treatment does not mean ignoring symptoms (third option wrong) or just letting them run their course (second option wrong).
• Question 35: "Fibro -" relates to fibers, "myo -" to muscle, and "-algia" means pain. So "fibromyalgia" is fibers/muscle/pain. "Inflamed" would be "-itis" (e.g., fibrom yositis for inflamed fibers/muscle), and "nerve" is "neuro -" (not in the word root here), "stiff" is not part of the root meanings for this term.
• Question 36: Retinal detachment is when the retina separates from the choroid. Retinitis pigmentosa is a genetic disorder affecting the retina (but not separation), hyphema is blood in the anterior chamber of the eye, and strabismus is misalignment of the eyes.

Answer:

Question 34: symptoms are treated with medications
Question 35: fibers/muscle/pain
Question 36: Retinal detachment
