Study Notes

  • Aileen is in an extended joint family, consisting of her, her husband, her daughter, and her parents living in one dwelling.
  • Aileen's family is matricentric because her husband is a seafarer who leaves decision-making to her when he is away for months.
  • Erwin's family is in the launching family stage; he is a 77-year-old male living with his wife and their youngest child.
  • The Family Genogram is a family assessment tool that provides a snapshot of a patient's genetic risk and family history of serious illnesses.
  • Family APGAR is a family assessment tool that measures a family's functioning.
  • The reaction to diagnosis is the stage of illness trajectory that would bring about a reaction of shock to the family.
  • Hospice care focuses on pain and symptom management and does not require the patient to be in the terminal stage of their disease.
  • When Aling Nena, who is at the terminal stage of breast cancer, creates an advanced directive, the ethical principle of autonomy is applied.
  • Dr. Alfonso demonstrated the active listening skill of reflecting when he noticed his patient rubbing his palms and asked about his observation.
  • Bracketing is an active listening skill and is a mental skill.
  • Farr is considered the first epidemiologist.
  • Effectiveness is defined as the ability of a program to produce the intended or expected results.
  • The scopes of descriptive epidemiology include place, person, and time.
  • Measles exhibits a cyclic trend in the epidemic curve, peaking during the latter part of the first quarter.
  • The most appropriate study design for reporting atypical presentations of COVID-19 observed in Hospital A is a case series.
  • A cross-sectional study design is used by a group of medical students studying the prevalence of hypertension by visiting households and conducting interviews.
  • A case-control study design is appropriate for researchers studying factors contributing to lung cancer among chemical factory workers.
  • Dr. Alinea implemented a retrospective cohort design in a thesis evaluating the association between exposure to Drug A and blood dyscrasia, reviewing patient's records for the past 10 years.
  • The demographic characteristics of students are independent variables in a study checking how those characteristics affect grades.
  • Sensitivity: Company A's COVID-19 antigen test kit has a sensitivity of 90%, given a positive result in 90 out of 100 confirmed patients and a positive result in 20 symptomatic patients who were RT-PCR negative.
  • The false negative population consists of those who tested negative with the index test but positive with the confirmatory test.
  • Odds Ratio: 75 is the odds ratio when Company A has 5,000 employees, 100 exposed to Chemical C with 75 developing lung cancer, and 50 unexposed employees also developing lung cancer.
  • An odds ratio of 0.25 indicates that the exposure is harmful.
  • True statements of the epidemiological triad: Environment includes all external factors for disease causation, and imbalance in the components may cause disease.
  • In the natural history of disease, Aling Bebang was in the subclinical disease stage a week before manifesting COVID-19 symptoms after exposure to a neighbor with a cough.
  • Secondary prevention was provided when Aling Bebang was diagnosed, isolated, and given medication for Covid-19.
  • Enabling/disabling factor: Poverty is an enabling/disabling factor in the development of pneumonia.
  • Presence of symptoms marks the entry to the stage of clinical disease in the natural history of disease.
  • Added tax to tobacco products is a form of primordial preventions.
  • Primary prevention is directed at the susceptibility stage of the natural history of a disease.
  • Determination of fasting blood glucose to screen for diagnosis is a form of primary prevention.
  • Pathogenicity is the characteristic of an agent referring to the ability to produce disease.
  • Sonia is now a heathy carrier, as she can still transmit a agent even after recovery.
  • Data summarization is NOT part of inferential statistics.
  • 0 to 14 years old and 65 years old and above: In the age-dependency ratio, segments of the population are considered dependents.
  • The numerator in the infant mortality rate consists of deaths among those within 1 year of age.
  • Case Fatality Rate is the rate referring to the killing power of a disease.
  • Prevalence: 35 is the prevalence of hypertension in July if there were 20 cases in May, 30 in June, and 35 in July, with no population movement in Barangay C.
  • Secondary Attack Rate: 17% is the secondary attack rate in a dormitory of 20 nurses, where two contracted Covid-19 at work and three of their housemates developed symptoms a week later.
  • Purposive sampling was utilized by Tina, where HIV patients were mainly from referrals of those who became part of her study.
  • True lower class limit in a class range: 4.45 is the true lower class limit in a class range of 4.5 to 5.5.
  • The most appropriate measure is coefficient of variation, when comparing two different variables.
  • RA11223 is the Republic Act referring to the Universal Health Care.
  • Interval: the type of scale used, that both temperature and educational scale are.
  • What type of frequency chart is it when the mean is 50 mode is 45 and medium is 40? Left Skewed.
