If not treated, patients who suffer from schizophrenia usually end up in homeless shelters or on the streets. They have a great deal of difficulty living independently, going to school, or holding down a job. Patients who are treated can often live independently and hold down certain jobs, but, in general, have difficulty living fully productive lives.

Most people who survive a serious head injury eventually wake up from coma, that is, they begin to open their eyes. In the best cases recovery proceeds from this point to NEARLY COMPLETE RECOVERY. In worst cases there is no recovery beyond opening their eyes. People who wake and sleep but have no meaningful interaction with the world around them are said to be in PERSISTENT VEGETATIVE STATE. This is probably the worst possible outcome.

When can I stop taking the pain medications? Minimally invasive surgery is a comprehensive program to not only put the same tried and true prosthetic components in to replace the worn surfaces of the hip and knee, but also includes a well designed program of pre-operative pain medications, intra-operative medications and post-operative pain management. The result is that many patients have very little pain in the first 24 hours of surgery (typically 0-3 on an analogue pain scale of 1-10).

A learning outcome states a particular kind of knowledge or a particular skill, attitude, or value that students are expected to possess by the time they complete a course, a program, or some other area of the curriculum, such as general education. Although student learning is presumed to be partly a function of a program's effectiveness, learning outcomes are statements about students' knowledge and skills, not about curriculum or faculty.

The chance of pregnancy is influenced by your age and your basal FSH level. In general, the younger you are, the better the outcome. The chance of pregnancy is also dependent on the number of embryos transferred. Although more embryos transferred increases the chance of pregnancy, it also results in a higher chance of multiple pregnancy with its associated problem of premature births. In practice, two or three embryos are transferred..

It is not possible to predict with certainty that training will be successful for a particular condition. But for the more common conditions we see, a reasonable prediction of outcome is usually possible. More important, however, the effectiveness of the training can usually be assessed early in the course of training. For most conditions, there are no known adverse side effects of the training, provided that it is conducted under professional guidance.

The severity of the injury and the resulting direct effects on the individual's body systems may not predict the amount of impact in a person's life. This follows, first and foremost, because each of us draws in different ways on differing parts of our brains. For example, a severe injury to the frontal brain area may have less impact on an agricultural worker's job performance than a relatively mild frontal injury would have on a physicist's work.

Choosing measures is best considered part of an overall assessment plan, so this question is addressed in the handbook section on "creating assessment plans".
