OT Process, Ethics, Professional Standards & Responsibilities, Standars of Practice (CHs 3-4) Flashcards
The comprehensive process of obtaining and interpreting the data necessary to understand the individual, system, or situation. Includes occupational profile
Evaluation
Always same assessment content, administration, and scoring. Has established norms and validity. Has exact wording for direction giving.
Standardization
Combine major features of universal precautions and body substance isolation
Standard Precautions
Alcohol-based hand rubs have poor tolerance against what?
Spores (ex: C Diff), so wash hands using soap and water instead
Refers to transmission of infectious diseases through objects
Fomite transmission
3 categories of transmission-based precautions
Contact, droplet, airborne
Precautions employed if transmission can occur through direct client contact or through items in environment.
Contact Precautions
What are the contact precautions?
Isolation room, gloves, wash hands after, gown if clothes will have contact with client, use single-use equipment
Examples of diagnoses requiring contact precautions
MRSA, diarrhea, open wound
Precautions employed if transmission can occur through large particle droplets that can be generated by client during sneezing, coughing, talking
Droplet Precautions
Examples of droplet precautions
Mumps, rubella, pertusis, influenza
What are the droplet precautions?
Isolation room, respiratory protection (mask), gown and gloves advised
Precautions employed if client is known to suspected to be infected with serious illness transmitted by airborne droplet nuclei (small particle residue) that remain in air and can be widely dispersed by air
Airborne Precautions
Examples of diagnoses requiring airborne precautions
TB, measles, chickenpox
What are the airborne precautions?
Respiratory isolation room, respiratory protection (mask), gown and gloved advised
Does the tool measure what it was intended to measure?
Validity
3 types of validity
Face, content, criterion (concurrent, predictive)
Degree to which a procedure/assessment appears effective in terms of its stated aims. How well does the assessment appear to meet the stated purpose?
Face validity
Does the content in the evaluation represent the content that can be measured?
Content validity
Compares assessment tool to one that has already has established validity
Criterion validity
2 types of criterion validity
Concurrent and predictive validity
Compares the results of 2 instruments given at about the same time
Concurrent validity
Compares the degree to which an instrument can predict performance on a future criterion
Predictive validity
Establishes the consistency and stability of an evaluation
Reliability
