The Yellow Book is the CDC's Health Information for International Travel.
TRUE or FALSE? - Answers-TRUE
The Yellow Book is the CDC Health Information for International Travel. It is published
every 3 years. Although it is written primarily for health professionals, it can be a useful
resource for any international traveler wanting to learn about health risks when traveling
abroad. It includes advice about epidemiology, pre-travel preparations, treatment of
minor travel-related illness, and preventive measures to avoid illness or injury when
traveling internationally. It also contains detailed information abou t infectious diseases
related to travel throughout the world and advice for travelers with specific needs.
The Pink Book is a resource published by the CDC on the epidemiology and prevention
of vaccine-preventable illnesses.
The Pink Sheet is a publication of biopharma regulatory, legislative, and business
developments.
The Orange Book is a list published by the Food and Drug Administration with approved
drug products and their generic equivalents.
The Red Book refers to both the CDC's standard resource for pediatric infectious
disease and to the reference on drug pricing data used primarily in community
pharmacies.
The Red Book refers to the CDC's... - Answers-the CDC's standard resource for
pediatric infectious disease
The Pink Book is a resource published by the CDC on... - Answers-the epidemiology
and prevention of vaccine-preventable illnesses
, The Orange Book is a list published by the Food and Drug Administration on... -
Answers-approved drug products and their generic equivalents
Which Type of error refers to the failure to reject the null hypothesis when a difference
exists? - Answers-Type II error. (conclude there is no difference when there is)
Explanation: The failure to reject the null hypothesis when a true difference exists in the
larger population refers to a type II error. The null hypothesis states that the difference
between 2 groups is the result of random chance alone. The alternate hypothesis states
that differences within a sample are influenced by a non -random cause. Beta refers to
the probability of making a Type II error.
Type I error (conclude there is a difference when there is not) refers to the rejection of
the null hypothesis when no true difference exists in the population.
Confounding refers to errors made as a result of the researcher failing to account for an
extraneous variable that directly or inversely correlates with both the dependent and
independent variables.
Statistical power refers to the likelihood that a study will detect an effect when there is
an effect present. It is the probability that a test will reject a false null hypothesis and is
inversely related to the probability of making a type II error.
Alpha refers to the probability of making a type I error.
Which of the following changes occurs with exposure to high altitude in air travel?
A) Significant reductions in atmospheric pressure begin to occur at 10,000 feet above
sea level.
B) Increased temperature can contribute to increased physiological consequences of
altitude.
C) At the same altitude, barometric pressure at the equator is lower than at distances
from the equator.
D) Barometric pressure is the primary determinant of the partial pressure of oxygen in
inspired air.
E) FiO2 decreases with altitude - Answers-D.
Barometric pressure is the primary determinant of the partial pressure of oxygen in
inspired air (PiO2). It decreases with altitude but increases in hyperbaric environments
at depth. The fraction of oxygen in inspired air does not change with altitude. The
relationship between barometric pressure, FiO2, and PiO2 is expressed as PiO2 = FiO2
