Bio Measures Flashcards
What issue comes from non-biological methods
Are unable to measure and aren’t quantifiable
What are the two biological methods?
Blood sample and urine sample
Why are biological methods more helpful?
As they do not just identify if adherence is occurring, but can identify the effect of clinical effectiveness
Explain urine analysis
Urine analysis is a cheap way of collecting and testing for adherence. It is easy and non-invasive urine is stable for up to 14 days at room temperature and the standard refrigeration also it gives objective visual results unlike self reports
How many days is urine stable for
14
Blood sampling explain what blood sampling is
Blood sample is a traditional method of testing test dried blood spot DBS comes from collecting several drops of blood on a filtered paper jug levels of hypertension, drug reliability, and that result showed that GBS testing can show levels of hyper tension, drugs, reliability, and that results hormone and proteins through the body
What does DBS mean?
Dried blood spot
What happens when plasma is separated from the rest of the blood?
Man plasma separates from the rest of the blood plasma is light yellow, which can be used for testing
Strength of biological met
They provide objective and visual cues for the patient and the doctor about levels of appearance unlike a subjective method there is no social desirability buyers from the blood, and therefore the results are more reliable
One weakness
The jug or difference in individual metabolism of the drug may interfere with how accurate the results are. Therefore, this message should not be used if a patient got more than one medication. Another issue with blood test is that they are invasive and some patients find this unpleasant and stressful, therefore an ideographic approach to measuring not appearance maybe more appropriatefor people who feel more stressed and uncomfortable
