The patient reported ______ abdominal pain for the past month, which occurs every two to three days and lasts for a few hours each time.
A. intermittent
B. acute
C. severe
D. chronic
题目解答
答案
A. intermittent
解析
本题考查医学英语中描述腹痛特征的形容词词义辨析。题目句意:患者报告过去一个月出现______腹痛,每两到三天发作一次,每次持续几小时。关键在于根据腹痛的发作规律(每两到三天一次、持续几小时)判断形容词含义。
选项分析:
- A. intermittent:意为“间歇性的”,指疼痛发作与缓解交替出现,符合“每两到三天发作一次”的间歇规律;
- B. acute:意为“急性的”,通常指突然发作、持续时间短但剧烈的疼痛,与“过去一个月反复发作”的慢性过程不符;
- C. severe:意为“严重的”,描述疼痛程度,而非发作频率,题目未提及疼痛剧烈程度,排除;
- D. chronic:意为“慢性的”,指持续时间长(通常超过6周)的疼痛,但题目重点强调“间歇发作”的特征,而非单纯“长期121慢性”,且“chronic”未体现“发作-缓解”的交替性,故不选。
综上,正确答案为A。
