NR 503 CHAMBERLAIN MID TERM
ASSESSMENT TEST QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
Epidemiology - Answer-is the science of public health
Population Health - Answer-focuses on risk, data, demographics, and outcomes.
Outcomes - Answer-is the end result that follows an intervention
aggregate - Answer-is a defined population.
community - Answer-is composed of multiple aggregates
data - Answer-is complied information
Inter-professional collaboration - Answer-The idea of sharing and implies collective
action oriented toward a common goal, in this case, improving the quality and safety of
patient care. It involves responsibility, accountability, coordination, communication,
cooperation, assertiveness, mutual respect, and autonomy.
Healthy People 2020 - Answer-aims to reach four overarching goals: 1.Attain high-
quality, longer lives free of preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death,
2. Achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups
3.Create social and physical environments that promote good health for all. 4. Promote
quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviors across all life stages.
Determinants of care/health - Answer-The range of personal, social, economic, and
environmental factors that influence health status are known ...
risk analysis - Answer-the characterization of the potential adverse health effects of
human exposures to environmental hazards
health disparities - Answer-the difference in health statuses between various groups
(populations).
Sensitivity - Answer-measures the proportion of actual positives that are correctly
identified as such (e.g., the percentage of sick people who are correctly identified as
having the condition)
Specificity - Answer-(also called the true negative rate) measures the proportion of
actual negatives that are correctly identified as such (e.g., the percentage of healthy
people who are correctly identified as not having the condition)
, Positive predictive value - Answer-is the probability that subjects with a positive
screening test truly have the disease
epidemiological triangle - Answer-1. A traditional model of infectious disease causation,
known as the Epidemiologic Triad is depicted in Figure 2. The triad consists of an
external agent, a host and an environment in which host and agent are brought
together, causing the disease to occur in the host.
confounding variable - Answer-is an "extra" variable that you didn't account for. They
can ruin an experiment and give you useless results. They can suggest there is
correlation when in fact there isn't. They can even introduce bias. That's why it's
important to know what one is, and how to avoid getting them into your experiment in
the first place
Study Methods - Answer-descriptive and analytic
descriptive study - Answer-describes person place and time. Provided data for program
planning, resource planning, and generates a hypothesis. Types include correlational
studies, case reports and studies, and cross-sectional studies.
analytic study - Answer-consists of observational and experimental. Observational
include case control and cohort. Experimental includes random control trial (typically for
new drug testing), field trial (conducted on those who have a high risk of obtained a
disease), and community trial (research is conducted on an entire community or
neighborhood). Test a hypothesis.
Rapid Cycle Improvement (RCI) - Answer-1. "quality improvement method that
identifies, implements and measures changes made to improve a process or a system."
it implies that changes are made and tested over periods of three or months or less,
rather than the standard eight to twelve months. It consists of fours stages:
Plan: Identify an opportunity to improve and plan a change or test of how something
works.
Do: Carry out the plan on a small number of patients. The test period may be as short
as one day for small PDSA cycles.
Study:Examine the results. Did you achieve your goals?
Act: Use your results to make a decision, incorporate changes into your workflow, and
establish future quality improvement plans
Is screening a tertiary intervention? If yes, why, if not, what is it? - Answer-No, it is
secondary.
How does a provider determine the usefulness, appropriateness, of a screening test?
Where would and NP look to find a screening test? What determines if a screening test
should be used? - Answer-Determining whether a screening test is appropriate requires
the APRN to address several aspects of the disease of interest. The target population
