Q

UTI FN

A

strict vegetarian diet - lack NIT

Vit C > 250 - block NIT reaction

19
Q

Vaginal pH test

A

may detect presence of bacterial infection
bacterial vaginosis
trichomoniasis -> STD

20
Q

Normal pH of vagina

A

4-4.5 -> acidic environment, hydrogen peroxide, inhibits bacteria

21
Q

Vaginal PH positive

A

test changes color

call PCP

22
Q

Vaginal PH negative

A

no color change

may repeat

23
Q

Vaginal pH interference

A

menstruation
intercourse
douching

24
Q

HIV test

A

OraQuick

detects antibodies in saliva

25
Q

HIV test interference

A

food, drink, oral care products within 30 min of test
PrEP
should know approx time of exposure (test 3 months after)
have someone with them to support them

26
Q

HIV positive result

A

confirm with PCP

27
Q

HIV negative result

A

emphasize importance of regular testing

28
Q

Colorectal screens (CRC)

A

FOBT - fecal occult blood

FIT - fecal immunochemical test

29
Q

FOBT vs FIT

A

FOBT: detects heme in stool -> blue on test. Detects bleeding from ENTIRE GI
FIT: detects LOWER GI
more sensitive test than FOBT

30
Q

FOBT EZ-Detect pads

A

lay tissue in toilet after BM

31
Q

FOBT Hemoccult cards

A

lay tissue in toilet
smear stool on card - 3 samples
return card to lab

32
Q

FIT test

A

applicator wand to collect small stool sample
insert wand into tube and shake
squeeze 3 drops of sample solution into test well and read results

33
Q

FOBT interference

A

toilet cleaners, etc
aspirin and NSAIDS
FP: red meat, raw turnips, broccoli, horseradish
vitamin C

34
Q

FIT interference

A

none

35
Q

FOBT and FIT followup

A

positive: need further evaluation
negative: repeat process every year

36
Q

accuracy

A

measurement of agreement between a test result and accepted reference value

37
Q

precision

A

measure of agreement btwn repeated measurements

38
Q

prevalence

A

TP + FN/total population

39
Q

sensitivity

A

of ppl WITH disease that test positive/total people with disease (TP/TP+FN)

40
Q

specificity

A

of ppl WITHOUT disease that test negative/total ppl WITHOUT disease (TN/TN+FP)

41
Q

sensitivity

A

TP/(TP+FN)

42
Q

Specificity

A

TN/(TN+FP)

43
Q

Positive predictive value (PPV)

A

TP/(TP+FP)

than chance that the positive tests are correct

44
Q

Negative predictive value (NPV)

A

TN/(TN+FN)

chance that the negative tests are correct
