Client Entry, Screening, and Assessment Flashcards
What psychological assessments are performed?
Revised Piper Fatigue Scale, Beck Depression, and Ferrans and Powers QoL Index
What factors contribute to an effective assessment?
- Relevant parameters
- Valid and reliable parameters
- Rigidly controlled
- -Staff / Clinicians
- Regular reassessments
- Interpretation of data and calculations
- Protect patients’ rights (HIPAA)
Why is establishing an accurate VO2max critical to cancer survivors?
It allows specialist to create an individualized exercise prescription
What is VO2peak and why is it often used?
The highest VO2 achieved during a test and it is used because it doesn’t require gas analysis
What is the statement of purpose regarding the CRI treadmill protocol?
To assess the validity of the UNCCRI multi-stage treadmill protocol for a cancer-specific population against standard metabolic gas analysis and the Bruce treadmill protocol
What four values were compared in the UNCCRI treadmill protocol research?
- VO2peak obtained from UNCCRI Gas Analysis Protocol (UGA)
- Estimated VO2peak calculated from the last completed stage of UGA using ACSM’s walking/running equations (UEV)
- VO2peak from Bruce treadmill protocol (BTP)
- VO2peak calculated from UNCCRI without Gas Analysis Protocol (UNGA)
What were the results of the UNCCRI treadmill protocol research?
No significant difference between UGA and UEV
There was a significant difference between Bruce and UGA
Is the Bruce treadmill protocol accurate for cancer survivors?
No
What two factors does the UNCCRI treadmill protocol provide?
Patient comfort and a valid VO2peak value
Should cancer-specific normative data or general population normative data be used by health professionals to classify physical fitness status of cancer survivors?
cancer specific normative data as the general population norms are not appropriate
