Based on information contained in the US surgeon general's report Healthy People 2020, list the
top 5 causes of death for people in the United States - ANS 1) Heart disease, using statistics from
1997, heart disease accounted for 31.4% of all deaths in the U.S. Heart disease also ranks first as
the cause of death for people aged 65 and older. It is second leading cause of death for people
aged 45 to 64.
2) Cancer. In 1997, cancer accounted for 23.3% of all deaths in the United States it is the leading
cause of death for people aged 45 to 64
3) Stroke. Stroke accounted for 6.9% of the deaths in the United States in 1997. Stroke impacts
mainly people who are 65 and older.
4) Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 4.7%
5) Unintentional injuries. In 1997, unintentional injuries such as motor vehicle crashes, fires, and
drowning accounted for 4.1% of deaths in the United States. Among younger people, age 5 to 44,
unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death.
Describe the principles of activity analysis - ANS - Analyze activity as normally or traditionally
engaged
- Rate the activity as compared with all other activities
- Analyze without regard for specific Disability Group
- Analyze for minimal level of skills required for basic, successful participation
Describe the basics of activity analysis - ANS A process that involves the systematic application
of selected sets of constructs and variables to break down and examine a given activity to
determine the behavioral requirements inherent for successful participation and that may
contribute to the achievement of client outcomes
List the common interaction patterns - ANS -Intraindividual
- Extraindividual
- Aggregate
- interindividual
- unilateral
- multilateral
- intragroup
- Intergroup
List the four behavioral areas - ANS Physical, cognitive, emotional (affective), social
One type of objective is a behavioral objective. Define the term - ANS Behavioral objective is a
statement of desired outcome. It is a so-called impact objective. It describes an action that the
target Community will perform and, by doing so, eliminate a problem and help achieve a goal of
the program. In many cases, a behavioral objective contains three parts. It spells out the
, conditions under which the desired outcome will take place. And effectively written behavioral
objective also includes an action verb that describes an observable Behavior.
Describe the basics of intraindividual and extraindividual activities - ANS Intraindividual: action
taking place within the mind of a person or action involving the mind and a part of the body but
requiring no contact with another person or external object. Examples: twiddling thumbs,
daydreaming, meditating, fantasizing
Extraindividual:
Action directed by a person toward an object in the environme nt, requiring no contact with
another person. Examples: watching TV, engaging in a craft project, playing Solitaire or
computer games, reading
Explain the purpose of an impact objective - ANS Impact objectives are those objectives that
serve as a means to achieve the larger objectives and overall goals of a program. Impact
objectives are not intended to be the ultimate and result of a program. Impact objectives fall into
two main categories: behavioral objectives and learning objectives. A behavioral objective
describes an action that the target Community will perform and the desired outcome of the
action. Learner, or learning, objectives support behavioral objectives. Learner objectives identify
specific changes and knowledge, attitude, or skill.
One type of objective is a learner objective Define the term. - ANS Learner objectives support
behavioral objectives. Learner objectives are impact objectives which identify specific changes
and knowledge, attitude, or skill. These changes must occur in order for the applicable
behavioral objective to be met. In other words, unless learner objectives are met, the results
called for in the behavioral objective are unlikely to be achieved. And effectively written learner
objective includes an action verb that describes an observable Behavior
What is confidentiality - ANS - right to share privileged information with health care provider
- information not divulged by provider
- Pt's identity, condition, emotional state, Financial State
- right to be free from unnecessary probes into personal affairs
Describe the basics of an aggregate action - ANS An aggregate action is directed by a person
toward an object in the environment while in the company of other persons who are also
directing action toward objects in the environment. Action is not directed toward one another,
and no interaction between participants is required or necessary. For example: craft programs,
hobby groups, bingo
Describe the purposes of assessment - ANS - identify client information (problems)
- initial Baseline assessment (treatment planning, program placement)
- monitor progress (formative evaluation)
- summarize progress (summative evaluation)
- research on programs
(most effective interventions)
- communication
-administrative requirements
