commercial| use| for| food| production.
How| does| a| provider| determine| the| usefulness,| appropriateness,| of| a| screening| test?| -| VERIFIED|
ANSWER✔✔-The| target| population| needs| to| be| identifiable| and| accessible| and| the| disease| should|
affect| a| sufficient| number| of| people.| The| screening| test| should| be| sensitive| enough| to| detect| most|
cases| and| be| specific| enough| to| limit| the| number| of| false| positives.| Screening| test| should| be|
relatively| inexpensive,| easy| to| administer,| and| have| minimal| side| effects.| The| validity| of| the|
screening| test| is| the| ability| to| accurately| identify| those| that| have| the| disease.
Where| would| a| NP| look| to| find| a| screening| test?| -| VERIFIED| ANSWER✔✔-US| Preventive| Services|
Task,| Agency| for| Healthcare| Research| and| Quality
What| determines| if| a| screening| test| should| be| used?| -| VERIFIED| ANSWER✔✔-Determining| if| a|
screening| test| should| be| used| can| be| evaluated| by| the| success| of| a| screening| tool.| Does| the|
screening| tool| do| what| it| was| intended| to| do| and| reduce| the| overall| mortality,| decrease| case|
fatality,| increase| early| detection,| reduce| complications| or| increase| quality| of| life?
Can| you| explain| what| "descriptive| epidemiology"| means?| What| is| the| purpose?| How| is| it| used?| -|
VERIFIED| ANSWER✔✔-Concerned| with| characterizing| the| amount| and| distribution| of| health| and|
disease| within| a| population.| Through| the| process| of| looking| at| rates,| incidence,| prevalence,|
mortality,| survival,| and| prognosis| we| have| and| understanding| of| a| disease| and| knowledge| of| how|
populations| differ.| Also,| what| interventions| would| be| best| for| who.
How| are| causation| and| descriptive| epidemiology| related,| how| do| they| work| together| to| aid| evidence-
based| care?| -| VERIFIED| ANSWER✔✔-Descriptive| epidemiology| is| the| first| step| in| any| epidemiology|
investigation| or| in| analyzing| any| health| problem| from| a| research| perspective.| Causation| is| found|
through| further| research| study| to| determine| the| best| interventions| in| patient| care| and| overall|
population| health.| They| both| work| together| to| aid| evidence-based| care| by| describing| patterns| of|
disease| in| populations| and| identifying| potential| risk| factors.
What| does| "causation"| mean?| -| VERIFIED| ANSWER✔✔-The| relationship| between| cause| and| effect
Can| you| relate| causation| to| primary,| secondary| and| tertiary| interventions?| -| VERIFIED| ANSWER✔✔-
Causation| is| the| cause| and| effect| relationship| in| which| one| variable| controls| the| changes| in| another|
variable.| Such| as| smoking| increases| risk| of| lung| cancer.| Primary| intervention| would| be| to| eliminate|
or| reduce| factors| related| to| the| variable.| Such| as| reducing| factors| that| cause| asthma-obesity,|
