    What is the term for a disease caused by uncontrolled cell growth?

    • Cancer

    • Meningitis

    • Heart attack

    • Stroke

    Correct Answer
    A. Cancer
    Explanation
    Cancer is the correct answer because it is a disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth and division of abnormal cells in the body. These cells can invade and destroy surrounding tissues and can spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Meningitis, heart attack, and stroke are not diseases caused by uncontrolled cell growth, making them incorrect answers.

    Identify which of the following is not a treatment for diabetes.

    • Urinalysis

    • Insulin injections

    • Healthy diet

    • Regular exercise

    Correct Answer
    A. Urinalysis
    Explanation
    Urinalysis is not a treatment for diabetes. Urinalysis is a diagnostic test that examines the urine for the presence of certain substances or abnormalities. It is used to detect various medical conditions, including diabetes, but it is not a treatment method in itself. Insulin injections, a healthy diet, and regular exercise are commonly used treatments for diabetes. Insulin injections help regulate blood sugar levels, a healthy diet helps control carbohydrate intake, and regular exercise improves insulin sensitivity and overall health.

    What is the term used to describe the use of drugs to destroy cancer cells?

    • Dialysis

    • Chemotherapy

    • EKG

    • Radiation

    Correct Answer
    A. Chemotherapy
    Explanation
    Chemotherapy is the term used to describe the use of drugs to destroy cancer cells. It involves the use of powerful medications that target and kill cancer cells throughout the body. These drugs can be administered orally or intravenously, and they work by interfering with the cancer cells' ability to divide and grow. Chemotherapy is often used in combination with other treatments like surgery or radiation therapy to effectively treat cancer and improve patient outcomes.

    Which of the following is not a type of cardiovascular disease?

    • Stroke

    • Atherosclerosis

    • Cancer

    • High blood pressure

    Correct Answer
    A. Cancer
    Explanation
    Cancer is not a type of cardiovascular disease because it is a disease that involves the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body, whereas cardiovascular diseases specifically affect the heart and blood vessels. Stroke, atherosclerosis, and high blood pressure are all examples of cardiovascular diseases as they involve damage or dysfunction of the blood vessels or heart.
