In a study, the data were grouped into class intervals as follows:
Class interval Freqeuncy
10-14 5
15-19 3
20-24 6
25-29 7
It was determined that an error has been made. A score of 20 was really a
score of 24. Correcting this error, in a grouped frequency distribution, will
change the calculated value of the:
a. Mean
b. Median
c. Mode
d. Range Right Ans - b. Median
In experimental investigation the:
a. Investigator determines who shall not be exposed to a factor
b. Study and control groups are comparable in all health and environmental
factors
c. Study and control groups are equal in number
d. Study is prospective Right Ans - a. Investigator determines who shall not
be exposed to a factor
Case Mix Groups are used in:
a. Acute Care Ambulatory services
b. Acute Care Inpatient
c. Long Term Care
d. Palliative Care
e. All of the above Right Ans - b. Acute Care Inpatient
When a researcher uses data to formulate a theory, this is known as:
, a. Ethnography
b. Grounded theory
c. Quantitative theory
d. Randomized Clinical trial Right Ans - b. Grounded theory
Classifications are used to:
a. Create health records
b. Group 'like' things together
c. Support care provider communication
d. Support clinical care Right Ans - b. Group 'like' things together
To study the relationship between a supervisor level of stress and the number
of subordinates, a researcher would use:
a. Correlation research
b. Evaluation research
c. Experimental research
d. Retrospective research Right Ans - a. Correlation research
A record is given a CMG at the time of:
a. Admission
b. Coding
c. Discharge
d. None of the above Right Ans - d. None of the above
In an acute care facility, a long LOS affects the ________________ measure of
central tendancy:
a. Mean
b. Median
c. Mode
d. Variance Right Ans - a. Mean
The best method to determine the magnitude of risk in any population is a:
a. Analytic study
b. Case control study
