Generic outcomes are measures that assess a very broad range of aspects of health status.

Question 9

What is the disadvantage of using the global rating of change?
A) It is time-consuming.
B) It can only capture a quick snapshot of a person's health from the baseline.
C) It requires the clinician to complete it on behalf of the patient.
D) It is limited in the amount of detail and specifics of a patient's health.

Accepted Answer

Like generic outcome measures, the global rating of change is limited in the amount of detail and specifics of a patient's health.

Question 10

Which is NOT an advantage to using global rating of change?
A) The client or patient gives a single measure for his or her overall quality of life.
B) The global rating of change can give specifics as to why there has been a change in health of the patient between the first and second time points.
C) The global rating of change is a simple measure to assess changes in the patient across time.
D) The measures are especially useful in determining whether a fitness program is having an effect on overall health.

Accepted Answer

The global rating of change cannot give a reason for the change in status of health.

Question 11

What is an outcome of evidence-based practice? Select all that apply.
A) Disease-oriented
B) Environmental-based
C) Clinician-based
D) Patient-based

Accepted Answer

There are four broad types of measures used in evidence-based practice: disease-oriented, patient-oriented, clinician-based, and patient-based.

Question 12

Which of the statements below is NOT accurate when considering clinician-based and disease-oriented outcomes? Select all that apply.
A) They both are the typical forms of evidence collected as part of experiments.
B) The outcomes from both clinician-based and disease-oriented measures are considered more valid and reliable than other outcomes.
C) Both provide patient-centered information that is valued by the patient.
D) Both use blood pressure, strength, range of motion, etc. to assess the patient.

Accepted Answer

Clinician-based measures often provide little information of value to the patient.

Question 13

What is a patient-based outcome? Select all that apply.
A) The quality and quantity of the patient's social network
B) A rating of the patient's depression on a scale from 0 to 10
C) A description of lower back pain based on a checklist
D) An assessment of lower body strength

Accepted Answer

Muscular strength outcome is a performance-based outcome.

Question 14

What is an advantage of using a disablement model? Select all that apply.
A) Assesses the client's disease development
B) Provides a framework for sound experiments to be conducted
C) Increases the validity of an experiment
D) Establishes or disproves the intervention being tested

Accepted Answer

Before the disablement model was developed by Saad Nagi in 1965, the focus was only on a patient's disease process.

Question 15

What are the advantages of using disablement models? Select all that apply.
A) Disablement models help us focus on multiple levels of a person's disability in clinical settings.
B) Disablement models provide a basis of experimentation.
C) The best experiments are based on models, and the goal of these experiments is to support components of the model.
D) Using one of the disablement models as a guide increases the validity of the experiment and investigates the value of the treatment.

Accepted Answer

The best experiments are based on models, and the goal of these experiments is to support or fail to support components of the model.
