If you are looking up evidence-based A Systematic Review of: Level 1 Randomized Control Trial
research, what kind of research study will (RTC) or Meta- analysis of RCT with homogenous results.
give you the strongest evidence?
What is Sensitivity in research? The ability of a screening instrument to correctly diagnose the
disease/condition you are researching.
Sensitivity identifies a true positive rate of the disease (they
actually do have the disease).
Sick people correctly identified as sick = True positive
SNout: Sensitivity "Rules out"
What is Specificity in research? The ability of screening instrument to correctly identify 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 negative
SPin: Specificity "Rules in"
Beneficence: Defined by the ANA as: "actions guided by compassion."
We utilize beneficence daily as we administer pain medication
or hold the hand of a grieving family member
Non-malfeasance: Selecting interventions that will cause the least amount of
harm to achieve a beneficial outcome

Confidentiality: Maintaining privacy
Follow HIPAA laws or face fines/imprisonment
Autonomy Respecting the rights of others to make their own decisions,
while providing all necessary information, risks, benefits and
consequences in order for our patients to make a well
informed decision
Fidelity Faithfulness; loyalty
Utalitarianism Greatest good for greatest amount of people, cost and
benefit analysis
Justice 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 time
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 Stimulating 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 little, it
releases TSH
Thyroid Hormones (T3, T4) play a major role in regulating
metabolism, converting nutrients into energy and regulating
body functions such as heart rate, body temp, brain
development and more.

What are you looking at when you read a 0.4-4.0 normal range. Looking at the function of the thyroid
TSH value on a lab? gland. (Normal values may vary slightly by lab)
The thyroid stimulating hormone test Pituitary's response to peripheral levels of thyroid hormone
measures
Thyroid Hormones (T3, T4) play a major role in regulating
metabolism, converting nutrients into energy and regulating
body functions 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 HIGH TSH, LOW FREE T4
Hyperthyroidism lab values LOW TSH, HIGH FREE T4
Signs of hypothyroidism: *Fatigue
*Increased sensitivity to cold
*Constipation
*Dry skin
*Weight gain
*Puffy face
*Hoarseness
*Muscle weakness, aches, tenderness
*Elevated blood cholesterol level
*Pain, stiffness or swelling in your joints
*Heavier than normal or irregular menstrual periods,
*Thinning/brittle hair
*Slowed heart rate
*Depression
*Impaired memory/slowed thinking
*Enlarged thyroid gland (goiter)
