Final answer:
An Exercise Physiologist-Certified (EP-C) should consider a variety of questions including the relevance and credibility of evidence, logistics of decision-making, and whether additional analysis or tests are required to determine when clearance is needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine when clearance is needed, an Exercise Physiologist-Certified (EP-C) should answer several key questions:
- Do your observations and/or results of the tests above indicate that your Exercise intervention (EI) uses this pathway? (YES or NO)
- Does a first reading of the evidence persuade you? Is the logic of the position apparent and/or credible? Does the writer omit relevant points?
- Research question doesn't meet basic requirements. It is a yes-or-no question, of little consequence, easy to answer, or suggestive of the "right" answer.
- When is the company planning to make their decision?
- How they will contact you?
- Does the interviewer have any follow-up questions?
- A "yes" to any of these questions may be a sign that you are summarizing. If you answer yes to the questions below, though, it is a sign that your paper may have more analysis (which is usually a good thing):
- Based on this information, what additional tests should be performed on the patient?
- What type of treatment should the doctor recommend?
