NR 503-MIDTERM EXAM PREP QUESTIONS &
ANSWERS
4 Types of Causation - correct answer- 1) Necessary-disease only
occurs is disease is present
2) Sufficient-Exposure always leads to disease
3) Necessary BUT not sufficient: factors happen in a temporal sequence.
4) Sufficient BUT not necessary: A specific factor can cause a disease
process, but other factors can cause the same disease.
5) Neither sufficient NOR necessary: Specific factor can be combined
with other factors to produce a disease
6 ways to establish causation - correct answer- 1) Temporal
relationship-associated factor must be present before the disease
2) Strength of association-The stronger the relationship, the more likely
it is casual
,3)Dose-response relationship-dose increases, so does the risk of
development of the disease
4)replication of findings-findings can be found repeated in other studies
5) Biological plausibility-current knowledge on the factor or exposure
and the response of the human body on the cellular level is consistent
with the findings
Absolute Risk - correct answer- Incidence of a disease in a population
Active Surviellance - correct answer- Case by case basis
Each specific person's information is entered into a database.
Aggregate - correct answer- defined population
Analytic Study Methods - correct answer- Consists of observational
and experimental
Case control and cohort
, Attributable risk - correct answer- how much of the risk (incidence)
of the disease we hope to prevent if able to eliminate exposure to the
agent in question
Best way to establish causation - correct answer- Observation of
humans who have a trait, factor, or exposure, and so on.
Campaign for Action - correct answer- Movement to utilize medical
professionals,(especially) nurses, to increase overall satisfaction with
their medical care
Utilized interdisciplinary care within the healthcare realm to assist
patients in a holistic approach to ensure positive patient outcomes.
To double the number of nurses with their DNP by 2020-diversifies the
field, encourage leadership within nursing, assisting with continued
nursing education.
Uses primary care to assist with preventable measures by education
Case-control study - correct answer- comparing groups with and
without the disease
compared with past exposures that are RARE
