Assignment: Psychosocial AND physiological measurement

This is part two.~~~~In this DB, you will identify both a psychosocial AND a physiological measurement tool that could be used to measure a concept in your area of interest. Post a brief description of the two types of measurement tools in your group discussion forum (one paragraph each). Identify support in the literature for the reliability and validity of the two types of tools and post a summary of the support (one paragraph) in your group discussion forum. Criteria for the physiological critique can be found in Gray, Grove, and Sutherland (2017) Chapter 16.Provide citations

Question 14. Scott is presenting for follow-up on his lipid panel. He had elevated total cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, and an LDL of 122 mg/dL. He has already implemented diet changes and increased physical activity. He has mildly elevated liver studies. An appropriate next step for therapy would be:

ORDER Assignment: Psychosocial AND physiological measurement

Atorvastatin (Lipitor)

Niacin (Niaspan)

Simvastatin and ezetimibe (Vytorin)

Gemfibrozil (Lopid)

Question 15. An ACE inhibitor and what other class of drug may reduce proteinuria in patients with diabetes better than either drug alone?

Beta blockers

Diuretics

Nondihydropyridine calcium channel blockers

Angiotensin II receptor blockers

Question 16. Jose is a twelve-year-old overweight child with a total cholesterol level of 180 mg/dL and LDL of 125 mg/dL. Along with diet education and recommending increased physical activity, a treatment plan for Jose would include ____ with a reevaluation in six months.

statins

niacin

sterols

bile acid-binding resins

Question 17. Which of the following disease processes could be made worse by taking a nonselective beta blocker?

Asthma might worsen.

Diabetes might worsen.

Both might worsen.

Beta blockade does not affect these disorders.

Question 18. At which stage/classification of hypertension should drug therapy be instituted according to the JNC-7 Report?

Prehypertension

Stage 1

Stage 2

Any stage where the blood pressure is greater than 120/80 mm Hg

Question 19. Beta blockers treat hypertension because they:

Reduce peripheral resistance.

Vasoconstrict coronary arteries.

Reduce norepinephrine.

Reduce angiotensin II production.

Question 20. Because primary hypertension has no identifiable cause, treatment is based on interfering with the physiological mechanisms that regulate blood pressure. Thiazide diuretics treat hypertension because they:

Increase renin secretion.

Decrease the production of aldosterone.

Deplete body sodium and reduce fluid volume.

Decrease blood viscosity
