Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chronic refers to a condition or illness that continues over a long period of time, usually more than three months. This is the best choice based on the given options.

Answer: B) Acute
 Acute refers to a condition or illness that is sudden in onset and typically severe in nature, but lasts for a short period of time. This is the opposite of what is being described in the question.

Answer: C) Chromic 
 Chromic is not a valid spelling or medical term.

Answer: D) Relapse 
 Relapse refers to the return or worsening of symptoms, following a period of improvement or remission, in a chronic or recurrent condition. This does not necessarily refer to a continuation of symptoms over a long period of time.

Answer: E) Remission 
 Remission refers to a period of time during which the symptoms of a chronic condition improve or disappear completely. While the condition may still be present and require ongoing management, the absence of symptoms is a positive outcome. However, this does not imply a continuation of symptoms over a long period of time, so it is not the best choice for the question.
