• interventions for adolescent who gets into altercations.
Answer: CBT, Family therapy, peer group therapy, medication
• is a qualitative approach appropriate?.
Answer: availability of information on your phenomena of interest (good
choice if there isn't a lot of information in the literature) develop a deep
understanding of an issue generate new theory or hypothesis
• Cerebrum: cerebral cortex.
Answer: controls contralateral side of the body, speech, cognition,
judgement, perception, and motor function
• notes on critiquing research.
Answer: is the title appropriate? does the introduction give you a sense of
the importance of the problem area? does the introduction place the problem
within a larger framework--does it fit within a larger topic of importance?
defining purpose of study is critical to the reader--should include specific
aims and problem it's important that purpose/problem statement fits within
literature review and theoretical framework not enough if a problem is
interesting if it offers no possibility of contributing to knowledge or
, improving nursing practice
• hand/finger anatomy.
Answer: distal phalanx (finger tip) -> distal interphalangeal joint -> middle
phalanx -> proximal interphalangeal joint -> proximal phalanx ->
metacarpo-phalangeal joints -> metacarpals (palm)
• true or false: there is an account of every animal used in research.
Answer: true but this is not true of humans
• dose-comparison.
Answer: concurrent group(s) that receive different doses of the study drug
(e.g., low, medium, and high doses)--no placebo treatment is
needed--looking for dose-response relationship (basis of science of
pharmacology)
• T/F: Natural infection with Chlamydia trachomatis usually produces
long-lasting immunity that prevents reinfection.
Answer: False

Answer: profound impairment or speech delayed before the age of two
• construct validity.
Answer: the extent that an instrument measures the underlying theoretical
construct, attribute, or trait that it is supposed to measure complex to
establish construct validity: convergent and discriminant subtypes (degree to
which two measures of constructs are related vs. whether measures are
unrelated) multitrait-multimethod matrix approach factor analytical
approach (factor analysis and structural equation modeling in a statistical
software package)
• Trachoma in Mocorro Timeline/ Background.
Answer: - 1991: National Blindness Control Program (NBCP) formed -
1992: National Survey - 1997 - 1999: SAFE - 2015 Water access

standpipe, tube well, protected dug well, spring, rainwater collection)
Sanitation Improvement: urban 84.1%, rural 65.5% (flush or pour-flush to a
piped sewer system, septic tank or pit latrine, ventilated improved pit (VIP)
