Document Summary

Last question: bit a summary, and which article is telling the truth. Also, explain why the other article isn"t telling the truth and you will have to explain where it didn"t follow the guidelines. *in the conclusion, explain what guidelines they didn"t follow* Put the research question at the end of the last paragraph of the assignment. Also rephrase the title given to a research question, and then answer the research question. In your articles, look at the guidelines and see if they provide that information. Screen tool: tools (i. e. digital rectal e) that are used to narrow down disease, so that we get to or don"t to the gold standard (i. e. biopsy for prostate cancer). Diagnostic tool: confirmatory tool that tells you where there is a disease present or not, often referred to as the gold standard. Therefore, your patients aren"t getting optimum care from your practice. The ramifications are that you overestimate how good your tool is.
