Advanced health assessment
exam 1 questions with
answers.
USPSTF low level of certainty - Ans Insufficient evidence to assess
effects on health outcomes
Due to: limited number or size of studies, flaws in study design, or
inconsistent findings
Needs further data
USPSTF moderate level of certainty - Ans Evidence is sufficient to
determine the effects of the preventative health service on health
outcomes but certain issues are present such as limited
generalizability, inconsistent findings, or inadequate size/number
of studies
Conclusions might change with future studies
USPSTF high level of certainty - Ans Consistent results from well-
designed studies, in representative populations that assess the
effects of the preventative health service on outcomes
Unlikely to change based on future studies
OLDCARTS - Ans Used to document history of present illness (HPI)
, O- onset
L- location
D- duration
C- characteristics
A- aggravating/alleviating factors
R- radiation
T- treatments
S- severity
Specificity - Ans The percentage of patients without a given
disease who have a true negative result
Sensitivity - Ans The percentage of patients with a given disease
who have a true positive result
Primary Prevention - Ans Involves activities directed at improving
health and providing specific protection from certain diseases
Interventions:
- Safety education (seatbelts/carseat education)
- Counseling (smoking/alcohol cessation)
- Preventative meds (Immunizations, dental sealants, condoms)
Secondary Prevention - Ans Goal is to identify and detect disease
in earliest stages before symptoms appear (cure disease, limit
progression, limit disabilities)
