What constitutes valid, reliable, and relevant evidence? Why is it necessary to always consider the validity, reliability, and relevance of a research study?How can a manager or healthcare team work to prevent confirmation bias in EBM?

Week 3 Discussion question

PArt 1
What constitutes valid, reliable, and relevant evidence? Why is it necessary to always consider the validity, reliability, and relevance of a research study? As you explain why a systematic appraisal of the evidence is necessary, consider the alternative to valid, reliable, and relevant evidence and the potential resulting outcomes. As always, provide substantive support of your views and opinions using appropriate research articles.

part 2

In 1998, Wakefield et al. reported a link between the administration of the MMR vaccine and a form of autism, igniting panic and contributing to a public health issue that continues today. Intentional or not, the research was flawed with bias. (You can read more about Wakefield’s study and fraudulent reporting here: Wakefield’s article linking MMR vaccine and autism was fraudulent.)

Ethical issues such as confirmation bias, whether intentional or unintentional, hold a significant impact for consumers of research. How can a manager or healthcare team work to prevent confirmation bias in EBM? As always, provide substantive support of your views and opinions using appropriate research articles.

Evaluate the needs to intubate a patient and the variables that make the process difficult, and the proper assessment tactics that would indicate failure to secure the airway.Could you include an abstract as well?

RES 321: Module 1–Essay

When evaluating a patient for emergency airway management, the first assessment should be of the patency and adequacy of the airway.

Four Key Signs of Upper Airway Obstruction

Muffled or “Hot Potato” voice (as though the patient is speaking with a mouthful of hot food)
Inability to swallow secretions, either because of pain or obstruction
Stridor
Dyspnea
The first two signs do not necessarily herald imminent total upper airway obstruction;
stridor, if new or progressive, usually does, and dyspnea also is a compelling symptom.

Evaluate the needs to intubate a patient and the variables that make the process difficult, and the proper assessment tactics that would indicate failure to secure the airway.

Could you include an abstract as well?
