✔✔Vital statistics include data on: - ✔✔births
deaths
health records
surveys
physical exams
laboratory testing
✔✔why is vital statistics important to APRNs - ✔✔it provides important outcome
measures to monitor and compare over time
also makes it able so the apron is able to detect things like health disparities
✔✔Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) - ✔✔The world's largest
telephone survey that tracks lifestyle behaviors that increase our risk for chronic
disease.
✔✔which level of care has the most potential for effective prevention and management
of conditions
primary
secondary
tertiary - ✔✔primary
✔✔what is the validity of a screening for a disease - ✔✔how accurately it identifies the
disease
✔✔what is specificity of a screening - ✔✔(the ability of a test to correctly identify those
who do not have the disease
, ✔✔what is the sensitivity of a screening - ✔✔ability to correctly identify those who have
a disease
✔✔what are continuous variable screenings - ✔✔like blood pressure monitoring or
glucose monitoring -- on a continuum
✔✔what is positive predictive value - ✔✔probability that a pt w/ a positive test truly has
the disease. The more specific a test, the higher its PPV
✔✔what is a negative predictive value - ✔✔probability that a pt w/ a neg test truly does
not have the disease. The more sensitive a test, the higher its NPV.
✔✔PPV equation - ✔✔True positive / (all people that tested positive -- false and true)
✔✔NPV equation - ✔✔TN/(true neg and false neg -- all who test neg)
✔✔natural history of a disease - ✔✔course or progression of a disease process from
onset to resolution
✔✔what is internal validity - ✔✔This type of validity is focused on determining whether a
study's findings are accurate
the test does what it should
✔✔what is external validity - ✔✔generalizability to the population
✔✔health disparities - ✔✔differences in health status between various populations
✔✔tertiary prevention examples - ✔✔1. Prevent pressure ulcers after SCI
2. Promote independence after TBI
3. Referral to support groups
4. Rehab
✔✔social justice theory - ✔✔the idea that everyone should have access to care
✔✔How are outcomes determined - ✔✔by determining what you want the outcome to
be, either "who"(individuals, communities etc), "what" (care, patient , or performance),
and "when" (short-term, longterm)
