The physical assessment examines the patient for objective data that defines the patient's condition, and aids in formulating the nursing care plan. The purpose of physical assessment is a health status appraisal, which includes identifying health problems, and establishing a database for nursing intervention.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Bioavailability Study Design: Single Versus Multiple Dose Studies

51
Bioavailability studies are essential for understanding how a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted in the body. These studies assess the extent and rate at which the active pharmaceutical agent becomes available at the site of action. The design of bioavailability studies can involve single-dose or multiple-dose regimens, each with distinct advantages and limitations.Single-dose studies are the preferred approach due to their simplicity and reduced drug exposure for...

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

1.2K
The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

The nursing history captures and records the patient's health status, so that a care plan evolves to meet the patient's individual needs. The nursing health history is a part of the initial assessment. A comprehensive history covers all health dimensions and plays a significant role in the assessment process. A comprehensive history includes the patient's biographical information, reasons for seeking health care, expectations, present and past health history, medications, and...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Professions Education
  • Admissions Assessment

Background:

  • Health care programs evaluate applicants using cognitive and noncognitive factors.
  • The multiple mini-interview (MMI) is a validated tool for assessing noncognitive attributes.
  • Physician assistant (PA) programs are increasingly adopting the MMI in admissions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the current implementation and utilization of the MMI in PA programs.
  • To characterize the national-level use of the MMI within PA programs.

Main Methods:

  • Mixed-methods exploratory study.
  • Telephone survey and semi-structured interviews with 11 PA programs using the MMI.
  • Collected quantitative data on MMI implementation, structure, scoring, feasibility, satisfaction, and evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Participating PA programs used 5-10 MMI stations, averaging 7 minutes per station.
  • MMI sessions required 8 faculty, 2 staff, and 7 students.
  • All programs reported satisfaction with the MMI and intended to continue its use, despite variations in implementation.

Conclusions:

  • This study is the first national characterization of MMI use in PA programs.
  • PA program MMI implementation varies but results align with other health professions.
  • Further research is needed on MMI's correlation with PA program outcomes and diversity impact.
