CASE STUDY: Active Labor: Susan Wong

Posted on | by

 

Mrs. Wong, a first-time mother, is admitted to the birthing suite in early labor after spontaneous rupture of membranes at home. She is at 38 weeks of gestation with a history of abnormal alpha-fetoprotein levels at 16 weeks of pregnancy.
She was scheduled for ultrasonography to visualize the fetus to rule out an open spinal defect or Down syndrome, but never followed through.
Mrs. Wong and her husband disagreed about what to do (keep or terminate the pregnancy) if the ultrasonography indicated a spinal problem, so they felt they did not want this information.
Reflective Questions
1. As the nurse, what priority data would you collect from this couple to help define relevant interventions to meet their needs?
2. How can you help this couple if they experience a negative outcome in the birthing suite? What are your personal views on terminating or continuing a pregnancy with a risk of a potential anomaly? What factors may influence your views?
3. With the influence of the recent Human Genome Project and the possibility of predicting open spinal defects earlier in pregnancy, how will maternity care change in the future?

1. Explain what counterbalancing is, how it is achieved, and which confound it helps to minimize.
ANSWER
2. Using your own words, discuss how a correlated-groups t test has more statistical power in comparison to an independent-groups t test.
ANSWER
3. Discuss one strength and one weakness of a within-subjects design using your own words. (Do not include statistical power, as it is assessed in a previous question)
ANSWER
SCENARIO: A researcher believes exercise may affect anxiety in women, but research appears inconclusive. She identifies a group of women (N = 30) who had not exercised before, but are now planning to begin exercising. She gives them a 50-item anxiety inventory before they begin exercising and administers it again after 6 months of exercising. The anxiety inventory is measured on an interval scale and higher numbers indicate higher anxiety. In addition, scores on the inventory are normally distributed. The mean of the difference scores is 3.4, SD = 1.8, and there were 30 in the sample. Using this information, answer the following questions showing all work when calculations are required to earn up to full credit.
4) Calculate the correlated-groups t test to determine the tobt. (Note you will first have to solve for the standard error of the difference score).
Work:
ANSWER t obtained:
5) Calculate the effect size using Cohen’s d. Interpret it using the appropriate conventions (small, medium, or large).
Work: ANSWER
6) Is this a directional or non-directional study, and what is the t cv? (Note you will have to first calculate the df)
Work:
