you call your problem?
What do you think caused your problem?
Why do you think it started when it did?
What does your sickness do to you?
What do you fear most about your sickness?
,What are the chief problems your sickness has caused you?
What kind of treatment do you think you should receive?
What is the most important result you hope to receive from the
treatment?
⩥ According to Giger and Davidhizer (2000), although cultures differ,
they all have the same basic organizing factors that must be assessed in
order to provide care for culturally diverse patients. These factors
include. Answer: communication (verbal and nonverbal);
personal space;
social organization;
time perception;
environmental control; and
biological variations.
⩥ The NCCC uses four major approaches to fulfill its mission,
including. Answer: Web-based technical assistance, (2) knowledge
development and dissemination, (3) supporting a community of learners,
and (4) collaboration and partnerships with diverse groups.
⩥ Epidemiological Triad:. Answer: host, agent, environment
⩥ Genetics. Answer: The study of individual genes and their impact on
relatively rare single gene disorders
,⩥ Absolute risk. Answer: is the probability of an event, such as illness,
injury, or death. Gives no indication of how its magnitude compares with
others
⩥ The odds ratio. Answer: closely approximates the relative risk if the
disease is rare.
⩥ Odds ratio and the relative risk are used. Answer: to assess the
strength of association between risk factor and outcome.
⩥ How is Attributible risk used. Answer: is used to make risk-based
decisions for individuals.
⩥ Population-attributable risk measures. Answer: are used to form
public health decisions
⩥ EGAPP:. Answer: Evaluation of Genomic Applications in Practice
and Prevention
⩥ GAPPNet. Answer: Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention
Network (established in 2009) is a collaborative initiative involving
partners from across the public health sector working together to realize
the promise of genomics in health care and disease prevention.
, ⩥ GEDDI. Answer: Genetics Early Disease Detection Intervention
project (GEDDI) (established in 2009) developed a model strategy for
using clinical, genetic, and family history information to reduce the risk
of disease, death, and disability in affected individuals, family members,
and populations.
⩥ HuGENet. Answer: Human Genome Epidemiology Network
(HuGENet) (established in 1998) helps translate genetic research
findings into opportunities for preventive medicines and public health by
advancing the synthesis, interpretation, and dissemination of population-
based data on human genetic variation in health and disease. HuGENet
reviews are systematic, peer-reviewed synopses of the epidemiologic
aspects of human genes, including prevalence of allelic variants in
different populations, population-based information on disease risk,
evidence for gene-environment interaction and quantitative data on
genetic tests and services carried out according to specific guidelines.
⩥ NHANES III. Answer: DC's Office of Public Health Genomics
(established in 2002) formed a multidisciplinary working group with
members from across CDC. It developed a proposal to measure the
prevalence of selected genetic variants of public health significance in a
representative sample of the U.S. population and to examine the
association between the selected genetic variants and disease outcomes
available in NHANES III data.
⩥ The World Health Organization defines a pandemic. Answer: as a
global epidemic that spreads to more than one continent (WHO, 2009).
