Quiz (detailed questions and
answers)latest 2024/2024 update!!
What type of prevention is screening or exams? - ANSWERSecondary Prevention
Tertiary Prevention - ANSWERWhat type of prevention is a cardiac or stroke
rehabilitation program?
What prevention attempts to minimize negative effects, prevents further disease or
disorder related to complications, prevent relapse, and restore the highest physical
or psychological functioning possible? - ANSWERTertiary Prevention
What prevention emphasizes on early disease detection by screening? -
ANSWERSecondary Prevention
Primary Prevention - ANSWERWhat prevention refers to preventing disease before it
occurs?
Secondary Prevention - ANSWERWhich type of prevention are these examples of:
-The APN screens all pregnant patients for Hepatitis B, and Group Beta Strep.
-An APN school nurse examines all students for lice at the beginning of the school
year.
-Each year the school nurse administers a visual test to all students who do not wear
glasses or contacts.
-The APN supervised patients with smallpox who are quarantined.
-Before immigrants are allowed to immigrate to the US, the public health nurse
ensures that individuals have a chest x-ray.
What determines if a screening test should be used? - ANSWERDetermining if a
screening test should be used can be evaluated by the success of a screening tool.
Does the screening tool do what it was intended to do and reduce the overall
mortality, decrease case fatality, increase early detection, reduce complications or
increase quality of life?
Can you explain what "descriptive epidemiology" means? What is the purpose? How
is it used? - ANSWERConcerned with characterizing the amount and distribution of
health and disease within a population. Through the process of looking at rates,
incidence, prevalence, mortality, survival, and prognosis we have and understanding
of a disease and knowledge of how populations differ. Also, what interventions would
be best for who.
Tertiary Prevention - ANSWERWhich type of prevention are these examples of:
-Mrs. A. goes directly to rehabilitation following a total hip replacement.
-Mr. B. adopts a Health Heart diet to control his high cholesterol.
, -14 year old Lindsey Hemoglobin AC1 is within normal limits and is able to decrease
her insulin.
-Mrs. Brown, who has been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, is able to maintain normal
activity without pain if she is compliant with her treatment plan.
-Many trauma patients can resume normal activities after rehabilitation.
Primary Prevention - ANSWERWhat type of prevention are these examples of:
-The APN teaching students who are not pregnant about birth control and natural
family planning methods.
-The APN plans and participates in an immunization clinic for a school population
that is lacking many of the mandated state immunizations.
-Smoking is prohibited on air planes and most public facilities.
-The APN supports legislation that is passed which ensures that working mothers
have release time to breastfeed and/or pump.
-The APN is active in his/her professional organization to lobby that pesticides are
banned from commercial use for food production.
How does a provider determine the usefulness, appropriateness, of a screening
test? - ANSWERThe target population needs to be identifiable and accessible and
the disease should affect a sufficient number of people. The screening test should be
sensitive enough to detect most cases and be specific enough to limit the number of
false positives. Screening test should be relatively inexpensive, easy to administer,
and have minimal side effects. The validity of the screening test is the ability to
accurately identify those that have the disease.
Where would a NP look to find a screening test? - ANSWERUS Preventive Services
Task, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
How are causation and descriptive epidemiology related, how do they work together
to aid evidence-based care? - ANSWERDescriptive epidemiology is the first step in
any epidemiology investigation or in analyzing any health problem from a research
perspective. Causation is found through further research study to determine the best
interventions in patient care and overall population health. They both work together
to aid evidence-based care by describing patterns of disease in populations and
identifying potential risk factors.
What does "causation" mean? - ANSWERThe relationship between cause and effect
Can you relate causation to primary, secondary and tertiary interventions? -
ANSWERCausation is the cause and effect relationship in which one variable
controls the changes in another variable. Such as smoking increases risk of lung
cancer. Primary intervention would be to eliminate or reduce factors related to the
variable. Such as reducing factors that cause asthma-obesity, pollution, sedentary
lifestyle. Secondary intervention would be early detection of asthma symptoms.
Tertiary interventions would be managing the asthma and stopping the progression
of the asthma.
What are the 5W's of descriptive epidemiology: - ANSWERWhat = health issue of
concern
Who = person
