c. Provide examples of positive vs discouraging learner feedback.

PRINCIPLES OF EPIDEMIOLOGY

TOPIC: Measuring Morbidity: Prevalence and Incidence

Please use ONLY the ATTACHED table to complete the assignment

Read the scenario below and complete the assignment as instructed.

Scenario

In Community X (population 20,000), an epidemiologist conducted a prevalence survey in January of 2012 and reported an HIV prevalence of 2.2%. Over the next 12 months, the department of health reported an additional 50 new HIV cases between February 2012 and January 2013. The total population stayed constant at 20,000.

Part 1

  1. How many people had HIV in January 2012? Present or describe the formula you used to arrive at your answer.
  2. Calculate the incidence rate assuming no HIV-related deaths over the 12-month period. Present or describe the formula you used to arrive at your answer. Be sure to clearly indicate the numerator and      denominator used in your calculation and include an appropriate label for the rate.

In a summary of 200-250 words, interpret the results and discuss the relationship between incidence and prevalence. Discuss whether or not the epidemiologist should be concerned about these new HIV infections, assuming a previous incidence rate of 0.5 per 1,000 person-years prior to this updated risk assessment.

Part 2

A rapid test used for diagnosing HIV has a sensitivity of 99.1% and a specificity of 90%. Based on the population prevalence of 2.2% in 2012, create a 2×2 table showing the number of true positives, false positives, false negatives, and true negatives. Calculate the positive predicative value and negative predictive value for this test. Refer to the “Creating a 2×2 Contingency Table” resource for guidance.

In 200-250 words, discuss whether or not the epidemiologist should recommend this test as part of a universal HIV screening program. Provide rationale for your recommendation applying the positive and negative predictive values. Present or describe the formula you used to arrive at your answer.

Introduction and Problem Statement 2 (CN)

  

This week’s assignment is STEP 1 – Introduction and Problem Statement.

First, the student will select a clinical question from the Approved List of PICOt/Clinical Questions   and will customize the question to meet his or her interest. 

My PICOT question is on a medical-surgical hospital unit (P), how does implementing hourly nursing rounding (I), compared to no scheduled rounding (C), affect patient safety (O), within 6 months of implementing (T)?

P – medical-surgical hospital unit

I – implementing hourly nursing rounding

C – no scheduled rounding

O – patient safety

T – 6 months

Next, the student will use the outline below and submit via a Word doc to the assignment link.   

1. Provide a title that conveys or describes the assignment.

2. Introduction – Provide an introduction to your topic or project. The introduction gives the reader an accurate, concrete understanding what the project will cover and what can be gained from implementation of this project.

3. Overview of the Problem – Provide a synopsis of the problem and some indication of why the problem is worth exploring or what contribution the proposed project is apt to make to practice.

4. References – Cite references using APA 6th ed. Manual.

5. 4 pages.

Expectations

· Format: Completed Word doc with references in APA 6th ed. format

 Article from instructor: Search engines to use? I found an interesting article for you:  https://clinmedjournals.org/articles/ianhc/international-archives-of-nursing-and-health-care-ianhc-5-125.php?jid=ianhc  

Questions from my instructor: If you’re hypothesis is that hourly rounding will improve Pt safety outcome, how will you measure it? What are you improving compliance of rounding ? Or Reduced falls From previous month? What percentage improvement are you using as a bench mark? 100% ?
Please fill in the outcome goal.

Role and Scope research 2

The paper should address the following: 

1. Describe the dimensions of Patient-Centered Care and how do you apply PCC in your current practice. 

2. Effective communications between health care providers and the patient is an essential component of PCC, why? 

3. Describe an interprofessional healthcare team in your area of work. Do the members work collaboratively? Do they improve patients’ outcomes, how? 

4. Think about your experience as a nurse student, have you observed effective communication improve patients’ outcomes? Have you observed the impact of poor communication on patients’ outcomes?
