A new test to detect tb has been designed. it is estimated that 89% of people taking this test have the disease. the test detect

s the disease in 97% of those who have the disease. the test does not detect the disease in 99% of those who do not have the disease. if a person taking the test is chosen at random, what is the probability of the test indicating that the person does not have the disease?

Answer:

0.1356

Explanation:

This is a probability exercise. Let's define some probability concepts.

Given two events A and B :

(A∩B) = (A,B)

(A,B) is the intersection event where A and B occur both at the same time.

We define P(A/B) as the conditional probability '' The probability of the event A given that we know that the event B occurred'' as :

P(A/B)=\frac{P(A,B)}{P(B)}

Where P(B)>0

Now, if A is an event and A' is its complement ⇒

P(A)=1-P(A')

Finally we define the probability of the union between two events A and B :

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A,B)

If the events A and B are independent between them ⇒ P(A,B) = 0 ⇒

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B)

Let's define the following events for this exercise :

D : ''People taking this test that have the disease''

P(D)=0.89

P(D')=1-P(D)=1-0.89=0.11

P(D')=0.11

P : ''The test is positive''

P(P/D)=0.97

P(P'/D)=1-P(P/D)=1-0.97=0.03

P(P'/D)=0.03

And P(P'/D')=0.99

We are looking the probability of P(P')

P(P') = P [(P'∩D) ∪ (P'∩D')]

Given that this events are independent between them :

P(P')=P(P',D)+P(P',D') (I)

Let's write the conditionals for this problem :

P(P'/D)=\frac{P(P',D)}{P(D)} ⇒

P(P',D)=P(P'/D).P(D)

P(P',D)=(0.03).(0.89) (II)

And the another conditional :

P(P'/D')=\frac{P(P',D')}{P(D')} ⇒

P(P',D')=P(P'/D').P(D')

P(P',D')=(0.99).(0.11) (III)

Replacing (II) and (III) in (I) :

P(P')=(0.03).(0.89)+(0.99).(0.11)

P(P')=0.1356

We find that the probability of the test indicating that the person does not have the disease ( P(P') ) is 0.1356

<h3>What is dementia?</h3>

A generic term for cognitive decline that is severe enough to impede with daily life, dementia refers to memory, language, problem-solving, and other cognitive ability loss. Like heart disease, dementia is an umbrella term that refers to a variety of distinct medical diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. Abnormal brain alterations are the root cause of the disorders included under the umbrella term "dementia."

These alterations cause a loss in cognitive abilities—also known as thinking skills—that is severe enough to affect daily functioning and independence. They also have an impact on relationships, feelings, and behavior. Like heart disease, dementia is an umbrella term that refers to a variety of distinct medical diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. The symptoms of dementia begin subtly and progressively worsen.

I understand the question you are looking for is this:

A client with dementia becomes belligerent and combative when the nurse attempts to give him a tub bath. How should the nurse proceed?
