Which term means 'sign of a condition'?

• A. Laceration
• B. Latent
• C. Manifestation
• D. Occluded

Answer: (C)

Manifestation refers to the outward evidence that a condition is present—the signs and symptoms that show up in a patient. It’s the observable expression of a disease, like a rash, fever, or fatigue, that clinicians use to identify what’s occurring. Latent means hidden or dormant, occluded means blocked or closed off, and a laceration is a tear in tissue. So the term that best captures “sign of a condition” is manifestation.
