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
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.
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
