3. Analyze how epidemiologic data are used to argue for or against a screening program
- Epidemiologic data are essential for evaluating the benefits and harms of a screening program.
Screening programs aim to detect diseases or risk factors early, before they cause symptoms or
complications, and to intervene accordingly. However, screening also carries potential risks, such as
overdiagnosis, overtreatment, false positives, false negatives, and psychological distress.
Epidemiologic data can help estimate the prevalence and incidence of the disease or risk factor in the
target population, the sensitivity and specificity of the screening test, the effectiveness and safety of
the intervention, and the impact of screening on morbidity and mortality. These data can be used to
compare different screening strategies and to assess whether the benefits outweigh the harms.
Epidemiologic data can also inform the development of guidelines and recommendations for
screening, based on the best available evidence and ethical principles.
4. According to Chapman (2017) , the gap between theory and practice can be seen in which ways:
The difference between idealized practice and common practice
The difference between the general principles taught and the difficulty of interpreting them for their
application to a specific situation
The gap between the theory of abstract nursing taught and its use in practice
The gap between scientific knowledge and the theory used as a common practice.
