Front 1

Face validity

Back 1

The degree to which a measurement appears to test what it is supposed to.

Front 2

Content validity

Back 2

The degree to which a measurement reflects the meaningful elements of a construct and the items in a test adequately reflect the content domain of interest and not extraneous elements.

Front 3

Construct validity

Back 3

The degree to which a theoretical construct is measure by a test or measurement. Evidence is through logical argument based on theoretical and research evidence.

Front 4

Criterion-related validity

Back 4

The validity of the measurement is established by comparing it to either a different measurement often considered to be a "gold standard" or data obtained by different forms of testing.

Front 5

Concurrent validity

Back 5

A dorm of criterion-related validity in which an interpretation is justified by comparing a measurement to a "gold standard" measurent at approximately the same time.

Front 6

Predictive validity

Back 6

A type of criterion-related validity in which the measurement is considered to be valid because it is predictive of a future behavior or event.

Front 7

Prescriptive validity

Back 7

A dorm of criterion-related validity in which the measurement suggests the form of treatment the person should receive. It is judged based on the successful outcome of the treatment.

Front 8

Internal consistency

Back 8

The extent to which items or elements that contribute to a measurement reflects one basic phenomenon or dimension.

Front 9

Ordinal scale

Back 9

Scale of measurement also known as a ranking. The data are ranked on the basis of a property if the variable, but the intervals between the ranks may not be equal or known.

Front 10

Interval Scale

Back 10

A measurement scale where the intervals between adjacent values are equal, but there is no true zero point.

Front 11

Ratio scale

Back 11

A measurement scale where the intervals between adjacent values are equal and there isna true zero point.

Front 12

Arterial line

Back 12

Monitoring device consisting if a catheter that is inserted into an artsy and attached to an electronic monitoring system. Used to measure blood pressure or to obtain blood samples.

Front 13

Central venous pressure catheter

Back 13

Used for measuring pressures in the right atrium or superior vena cava by means of an indwelling venous catheter and a pressure nanometer. Used to evaluate right ventricular function, right atrial filling pressure, and circulating blood volume.

Front 14

Pulmonary artery catheter (Swan-Ganz)

Back 14

Soft, flexible catheter that is iserted through a vein to the pulmonary artery. Used to provide continuous measurements of pulmonary artery pressure.

Front 17

Nerves from the lateral cord of the brachial plexus

Back 17

Front 18

Nerves from the medial cord of the brachial plexus

Back 18

Medial pectoral, ulnar, medial root of the median

Front 19

Nerves from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus

Back 19
