NU 513 STUDY GUIDE QUIZ 4 EXAM
WITH CORRECT QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2025
Explain time series - CORRECT-ANSWERSQUASI-EXPERIMENTAL- series of data
points indexed/listed/graphed in time order. A sequence taken at successive equally
spaced points in time (Ocean tides, stock market).
What is experimental mortality? - CORRECT-ANSWERSTYPE OF INTERNAL
VALIDITY.
-Some subjects may drop out before the experiment is completed. -Differential loss of
subjects from comparison groups. Only partial data is available (smokers likely to drop
out of stop-smoking studies).
what is internal validity? - CORRECT-ANSWERSThe extent to which a study
establishes a trustworthy cause-and-effect relationship between a treatment and an
outcome. How confident we can be with the study findings. Is there a true relationship
between cause and effect, or is it due to another variable?
What are components of change? - CORRECT-ANSWERS1. Assessing the culture
2. identify the problem and need for innovations
3. assess staff motivation4. determine alternatives
, 5. review resources
6. determine appropriate roles
7. recognizes the phase of the change process
8. implements techniques for planned change.
What is quality improvement? - CORRECT-ANSWERS-Framework to systematically
improve the way care is delivered to patients. Analysis of practice performance and
efforts to improve performance.-A process of continuous self-review with the purpose of
identifying and correcting aspects of the system that require improvement
Risk management roles include: - CORRECT-ANSWERS-Involves the development and
implementation of strategies to prevent patient injury, minimize financial loss, and
preserve agency assets.-Focuses on liability control.1. To provide patient/staff/visitor
safety and prevent injury.2. Avoid liability exposure by evaluating new and existing
services.3. Maintain an incident reporting system to identify trends and patterns of
practice.4. Maintain a quality improvement program to identify areas of risk in specific
clinical applications.
Fish bone diagram (cause and effect): - CORRECT-ANSWERSUsed to identify the root
causes of a problem or outcome. First identify a problem and then brainstorm to identify
root causes. First, second, third level causes.
Management role in quality improvement include: - CORRECT-ANSWERS-organize
quality-driven services-monitor quality of care-select standards and tools to measure
care-facilitate collecting and analyzing data-determine discrepancies between care
provided and standards-facilitate ongoing quality improvement,-evaluate quality of care.
