-Basal cell Skin CA
-Differential: PVD
-PE: Hemosiderans deposition (staining)
Type 1 Error - CORRECT ANSWER --False positive

true)
-Rejection of the null hypothesis when it is actually true.
Type 2 Error - CORRECT ANSWER --False negative
-Failing to reject a null hypothesis which is false (occurs if the null hypothesis is not rejected
when it is false)
,National mandate to prevent VAP? - CORRECT ANSWER -Elevate the HOB
Credentials - CORRECT ANSWER -1. Encompass required education, licensure and certification
2. Establish minimal levels of acceptable performance
3. Necessary to: ensure the safe healthcare is provided by qualified individuals and comply with
federal and state laws relating to advanced practice nursing
4. Scope of practice
5. Mandates accountability
6. Enforces professional standards of practice
What is credentialing or priviliging? - CORRECT ANSWER --Process by which a NP is granted
permission to practice in an inpatient setting

What is p-value? - CORRECT ANSWER --Number describing how likely it is that your data would
have occurred by random chance (i.e. that the null hypothesis is true).
-0.05 as the standard level of significance
-The smaller the p-value, the stronger the evidence that you should reject the null hypothesis
if P<0.05 it? - CORRECT ANSWER --Rejects null hypothesis
-Statistically significant
-A significant result and this would have only arose 5/100 times through chance
-Experimental and control groups are considered to be significantly different
if p>0.05? - CORRECT ANSWER --Fail to reject the null hypothesis
-Not statistically significant and indicates strong evidence for the null hypothesis
What is treatment for VAP? - CORRECT ANSWER -Cover MRSA+ Double antipseudomonal
coverage
-Abs with MRSA activity = vanc or linezolid
