Biomedical Technology Quiz I

Which type of research method may be conducted on either animals, humans, computer models, or tissue cultures?

Clinical research

In vitro research

Applied research

Basic Research

Which level of biomedical research is considered a foundation or "building block" level?

Basic research

Applied research

Clinical research

Phase I

What research method is the best known surrogate for humans in the laboratory?

Computer Models

Mathmatical models

Non human animal models

In vitro models

Which type of study is the human equivalent of animal testing and is administered by providing or withholding a substance to determine its toxic or beneficial effects?

Experimental epidemiology

Descriptive epidemiology

Observational epidemiology

Distributive epidemiology

A major disadvantage of epidemiological studies is that:

They identify patterns in diseases that may be traced to causative factors

Ethical considerations may limit their usefulness

Considerable human exposure can take place before a toxic effect is detectable

It is difficult to generate sufficiently reliable data

Julio is a researcher and has been assigned to collect statistical data on the Zika virus. What level of research is he working on if his findings will be used to develop a vaccine or new treatment?

Basic research

Applied research

Clinical research

Phase I

During which phase of clinical trials is the safety and effectiveness of a medication tested on the greatest number and variety of participants?

Phase I

Phase II

Phase III

Phase IV

Research experiments that use animals as models should be set up using the three Rs, which are:

Restrict, reduce, and reconfigure the use of animals

Reconstruct, recycle, and reconfigure the use of animals.

Replace, reduce, and refine the use of animals

Reuse, redistribute, and redefine the use of animals

Which phase of clinical research is used to determine a drug's interaction with the human system, involves a small number of healthy volunteers, and usually takes around one year to finish?

Phase I

Phase II

Phase III

Phase IV

The use of mice in biomedical research most frequently occurs at which level?

Basic research

Applied research

Clinical research

Phase I research

Which type of epidemiological study is greatly limited by ethical and legal considerations?

Experimental

Observational

Geographical

Discriptive

Which group is often given a placebo or inactive substance when a new medication is tested in biomedical research?

Experimental

Control

Homogenus

Descriptive

Descriptive epidemiological studies identify:

Direct cause and effect

Correlations

Selection bias

Incidence numbers and distribution spread

What stage of clinical trials involves extensive testing, using around 1,000–3,000 subjects, with the overall purpose of determining a drug's efficacy and adverse reactions?

Phase I

Phase II

Phase III

Phase IV

Congress passed the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments in 1988 to ensure the accuracy of diagnostic testing. Under this law, the federal government regulates many aspects of laboratory operation, including:

Making sure labels with at least two patient identifiers, such as name and date of birth

The training employees receive and the types and quality of instruments used to analyze samples

Making sure labels with at least two patient identifiers, such as name and record number

The training employees receive and use at least two patient identifiers, such as name and date of birth

An experimental medication is being tested on research mice. To obtain the most accurate results, the test should include an experimental group and a/an:

Epidemic group

Phase I group

Descriptive group

Control group

Which type of research involves human subjects and is conducted after other forms of research have already taken place?

Basic research

Applied research

Clinical research

Toxicity research

Which type of research is directed towards specific objectives and is conducted using animals and other nonanimal models such as computers and tissue cultures?

Basic research

Applied research

Clinical research

Descriptive Research

Which term best describes the study of disease incidence and its distribution in a population?

Comparisons

Descriptive

Epidemiology

Observational

Adult stem cells are to be harvested and transplanted into a patient. Where would these cells most likely be found?

In an embryo

In muscle tissue

In human bone marrow

In a clone

Scientists are currently conducting studies in vitro. Where are these studies most likely taking place?

In a petri dish or test tube

In a living organism

In an animal cage

In a computer database

Chemical, mechanical, and computer simulations are effective research methods but cannot:

Replace building blocks

Replace laboratory testing on animals

Reduce the number of scientists needed

Reduce the total time spent on research

What area of science studies biological life processes and the causes for disease?

Biomedical research

Physical research

Scientific research

Lifestyle research

During biomedical research using animals, a control group was given a placebo. This group will most likely have what type of response?

A positive repsonse

A negative response

No response

A side effect

Epidemiology studies may be divided up into three general types:

Experimental, descriptive, and observational

Experimental, comparison, and case-controlled

Observational, descriptive, and case-controlled

Observational, retrospective, and experimental

Stan is working with a type of research study with some limitations. This study cannot respond to other functions within a living organism or whole body systems. This type of research can be identified as:

Basic research

Clinical research

Phase I

In vitro

The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments passed in 1988:

Monitor patient identifiers on labels

Developed technical standards and laboratory practice guidelines

Restrict laboratory testing practices

Regulate laboratory sites that test only non-human specimens

Which study, performed earlier this century, established that the fourteenth-century Black Plague was spread from rats to humans via fleas?

Descriptive

Epidemiological

Experimental

Observational
