Questions with Verified Answers, 100% Guarantee Pass
1. How does social justice and health inequities influence population health
care provision? Why is this critical information for the provision of evi-
dence-based care?
Answer> Social justice is the view that everyone deserves equal rights and
opportunity, including the right to health care. If social justice is not performed,
then population health will not be adequate.
2. Vital statistics
Answer> measurements of births, deaths, marriages, divorces, fetal deaths, and
abortions. Provides important outcome measures that can be analyzed overtime to
detect health disparities
3. Morbidity
Answer> the presence of disease/illness in a population or aggregate
4. Mortality
1/8
Answer> related to the tracking of deaths within a population or aggregate
5. Cases
Answer> persons with a disease
6. Social justice
Answer> the view that everyone deserves equal rights and opportunities
,7. Epidemiology
Answer> the study of disease distribution within populations and the risk factors
that affect increases or decreases in distribution
8. Population health
Answer> focuses on risk factors, data, demographics, and outcomes
9. Incidence
Answer> measures NEW cases; the number of new cases of a disease that
occurs during a specified period of time in a population at risk for developing the
disease
10. Prevelance
Answer> measures the existence of ALL CURRENT/PRESENT cases within a time
frame; the number of affected persons present in the population at a specific time
divided by the number of persons in a population at the same time
11. Outcomes
Answer> the end result that follows some kind of healthcare provision, treat- ment,
or intervention and may describe a patient's condition or health status
12. Interprofessional Collaboration
Answer> the idea of sharing and implies collective ac- tion oriented toward a
2/8
common goal, to improve the quality and safety of patient care. Involves
responsibility, accountability, coordination, communication, cooperation, mutual
respect, and autonomy
13. HP2020
Answer> national document with agreed-upon national objectives that guides and
assist APNs to focus on and identify levels of population healthcare for persons
across the lifespan.
, 14. Determinants of Health
Answer> the range of personal, social, economic, and environ- mental factors that
influence health status
15. Risk Analysis
Answer> the characterization of the potential adverse health effects of human
exposure to environmental hazards
16. Validity
Answer> the ability of a test to distinguish correctly who has a disease. Based on
both the specificity and sensitivity of a test
17. Sensitivity
Answer> the ability of a test to correctly identify those who have a disease
18. Specificity
Answer> the ability of a test to correctly identify those who do not have a
disease
19. Continuous Variable Screening
Answer> values are neither positive or negative (blood
glucose; A1C), a specific value determines a disease
20. Two Stage Test
Answer> low cost, less-sensitive (ex. TB skin
3/8 testing). Positive result indicates a
second test is needed
21. Positive Predictive Value
Answer> proportional value of the proportion of people in any given population who
are screened as positive and who have the disease
