Nurses must be aware of these factors in order to select the most appropriate test or tool and to accurately interpret the results.<br \/>\nNot only do these diagnostic tests affect adults, body measurements can provide a general picture of whether a child is receiving adequate nutrition or is at risk for health issues. These data, however, are just one aspect to be considered. Lifestyle, family history, and culture\u0080\u0094among other factors\u0080\u0094are also relevant. That said, gathering and communicating this information can be a delicate process.<br \/>\nFor this Assignment, you will consider the validity and reliability of different assessment tools and diagnostic tests. You will explore issues such as sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values. You will also consider examples of children with various weight issues. You will explore how you could effectively gather information and encourage parents and caregivers to be proactive about their children\u2019s health and weight.<br \/>\nTo Prepare<br \/>\n\u00b7 Review this week\u2019s Learning Resources and consider factors that impact the validity and reliability of various assessment tools and diagnostic tests. You also will review examples of pediatric patients and their families as it relates to BMI.<br \/>\n\u00b7 Search the Library and credible sources for resources explaining the tool or test you were assigned. What is its purpose, how is it conducted, and what information does it gather?<br \/>\n\u00b7 Also, as you search the library and credible sources, consider what the literature discusses regarding the validity, reliability, sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, ethical dilemmas, and controversies related to the test or tool.<br \/>\nAssignment (3 \u2013 4 pages, not including title and reference pages):<br \/>\nFor the Adult Assessment Tools or Diagnostic Tests:<br \/>\nInclude the following:<br \/>\n\u00b7 A description of how the assessment tool or diagnostic test you were assigned is used in healthcare.<br \/>\no What is its purpose?<br \/>\no How is it conducted?<br \/>\no What information does it gather?<br \/>\n\u00b7 Based on your research, evaluate the test or the tool\u2019s validity and reliability, and explain any issues with sensitivity, reliability, and predictive values. Include references in appropriate APA formatting.<br \/>\nFor the Child :<br \/>\nInclude the following:<br \/>\n\u00b7 An explanation of the health issues and risks that are relevant to the child you were assigned.<br \/>\n\u00b7 Describe additional information you would need in order to further assess his or her weight-related health.<br \/>\n\u00b7 Identify and describe any risks and consider what further information you would need to gain a full understanding of the child\u2019s health. Think about how you could gather this information in a sensitive fashion.<br \/>\n\u00b7 Taking into account the parents\u2019 and caregivers\u2019 potential sensitivities, list at least three specific questions you would ask about the child to gather more information.<br \/>\n\u00b7 Provide at least two strategies you could employ to encourage the parents or caregivers to be proactive about their child\u2019s health and weight.<br \/>\nResources for references : Need 3+ references<br \/>\nBall, J.
