Why do you think this is not a first order neuron issue? Hint: What would you see (or not see) if the nerves were damaged?Where along the spinal cord could you see a lesion in the CT for this patient?

Case Study

A 25 year-old male involved in a motorcycle accident was brought to your ER. The patient complains of being unable to move his legs voluntarily.

The doctor orders a CT but the CT is currently out of commission so you must do some inductive reasoning. One thing you must determine is the severity and location of the patient’s lesion. You begin by scraping the bottom of their foot with the dull-pointed end of a reflex hammer starting at the heel moving to the small toe and then following the ball of the foot toward the big toe. The patient’s foot demonstrates a Babinski’s sign.

Deliverables
Answer the following questions and save your responses in a Microsoft Word document. Provide a scholarly resource in APA format to support your answers.

The term used for this condition (inability to move legs voluntarily) is called:
Name the parts of a basic reflex pathway.

Describe Babinski’s sign and compare it to what a normal response would look like.

Why would one see a Babinski sign rather than a normal sign?

Why do you think this is not a first order neuron issue? Hint: What would you see (or not see) if the nerves were damaged?

Where along the spinal cord could you see a lesion in the CT for this patient?

What role does statistical forecasting play in the quantitative health care decision analysis process?How can forecasting used to determine the needs within an organization for purposes of quality improvement?

Statistical Analysis, Forecasting, and Quality Improvement

In preparation for a meeting with upper-level management, you decide to conduct research on the role of statistical forecasting in decision analysis.

Write a paper of 3 pages discussing the importance of accreditation and credentialing, strategies for quality improvement, and the role of statistics and statistical forecasting in the process.

Your paper should address the following:

What are the steps involved in the statistical forecasting process?

Provide at least 3 examples of statistical analysis tools used for forecasting.

What role does statistical forecasting play in the quantitative health care decision analysis process?

How can forecasting used to determine the needs within an organization for purposes of quality improvement?

Your discussion should include how you can use statistical forecasting related to patient treatment, read missions, emergency room (ER) wait times, and so forth as a means of determining what areas to focus on for the quality initiative.
