Midterm Exam Review – Chamberlain
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
1/8
4. Mortality
Answer> related to the tracking of deaths within a population or aggregate
, 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
2/8
Answer> the idea of sharing and implies collective ac- tion oriented toward a common
goal, to improve the quality and safety of patient care. Involves responsibility,
, 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
3/8
20. Two Stage Test
Answer> low cost, less-sensitive (ex. TB skin testing). Positive result indicates a second
