CORRECT
If you are looking up evidence-based research, what kind of research study will give you the
strongest evidence?
A Systema c Review of: Level 1 Randomized Control Trial (RTC) or Meta- analysis of RCT with
homogenous results.
What is Sensi vity in research?
The ability of a screening instrument to correctly diagnose the disease/condi on you are
researching.
Sensi vity iden fies a true posi ve rate of the disease (they actually do have the disease).
Sick people correctly iden fied as sick = True posi ve
SNout: Sensi vity "Rules out"
What is Specificity in research?
The ability of screening instrument to correctly iden fy non cases, or determine subjects who
do not have the disease you are studying.
The number of people in you research group found as healthy (not sick) =True nega ve
SPin: Specificity "Rules in"
Beneficence:
Defined by the ANA as: "ac ons guided by compassion."
We u lize beneficence daily as we administer pain medica on or hold the hand of a grieving
family member
Non-malfeasance:
Selec ng interven ons that will cause the least amount of harm to achieve a beneficial outcome
,Confiden ality:
Maintaining privacy
Follow HIPAA laws or face fines/imprisonment
Autonomy
Respec ng the rights of others to make their own decisions, while providing all necessary
informa on, risks, benefits and consequences in order for our pa ents to make a well informed
decision
Fidelity
Faithfulness; loyalty
Utalitarianism
Greatest good for greatest amount of people, cost and benefit analysis
Jus ce
The duty to be fair and provide fair and equal care regardless of social/financial/cultural status
Veracity
Truthfulness, honesty
Validity in research:
The accuracy of an assessment/test/procedure -- whether or not it measures what it is
supposed to measure.
Ex: an X-ray can accurately test for a fracture and has validity. Even if a test is reliable, it may not
provide a valid measure, for example and X-ray is a reliable test to diagnose a fracture but is not
a valid test to diagnose a skin rash
Reliability in research:
The extent to which assessments are consistent. Is the test REPEATABLE with consistent results.
Just as we enjoy having reliable cars (cars that start every me we need them), we strive to have
reliable, consistent instruments to measure student achievement.
Another way to think of reliability is to imagine a kitchen scale. If you weigh five pounds of
, potatoes in the morning, and the scale is reliable, the same scale should register five pounds for
the potatoes an hour later (unless, of course, you peeled and cooked them)
What is TSH:
Thyroid S mula ng Hormone-a hormone that's produced by the pituitary gland in your brain for
the single purpose of sending a message to the thyroid gland.
The pituitary gland constantly monitors your blood for levels of thyroid hormones (T3, T4), and
if it detects too liBle, it releases TSH
Thyroid Hormones (T3, T4) play a major role in regula ng metabolism, conver ng nutrients into
energy and regula ng body func ons such as heart rate, body temp, brain development and
more.
What are you looking at when you read a TSH value on a lab?
0.4-4.0 normal range. Looking at the func on of the thyroid gland. (Normal values may vary
slightly by lab)
The thyroid s mula ng hormone test measures
Pituitary's response to peripheral levels of thyroid hormone
Thyroid Hormones (T3, T4) play a major role in regula ng metabolism, conver ng nutrients into
energy and regula ng body func ons such as heart rate, body temp, brain development and
more.
What does it mean if you have a low TSH?
HYPERTHYROIDISM
What does it mean if you have a High TSH?
HYPOTHYROIDISM
Sub-clinical hypothyroidism lab values
HIGH TSH, NORMAL FREE T4
Sub-clinical hyperthyroidism lab values
LOW TSH, NORMAL FREE T4
Primary hypothyroidism lab values
