When might someone prefer mode over mean or median to describe a data set’s central tendency? When is the median preferred over the mean to describe a variable? Mean or average is a one way to describe scores in a distribution, but this does not tell us everything we need to know. What else might be important to know in addition to the measure of central tendency? Why might someone want to use a bar, line, box plot, or pie chart to display data? How does the data displayed differ for these different types of charts? Reply Quote Email Author .

When Dan (now 80) and Jane (now 65) began dating more than 15 years ago, both were emotionally charged to begin their lives anew. Well-educated and financially secure, they had a lot in common. Dan was a protestant minister, and Jane’s deceased husband had been a protestant minister. Both had lost their spouses. Jane’s first husband had suffered a catastrophic cerebral aneurysm 2 years earlier. Dan had conducted the funeral service for Jane’s husband. Dan’s wife had died of terminal cancer a little over a year earlier. Dan’s first wife had been a school counselor; Jane was a school teacher. Both had children in college. They shared a love for travel. Dan was retired but continued part-time employment, and Jane planned to continue teaching to qualify for retirement. Both were in great health and had more than adequate health benefits. Within the year they were married. Summer vacations were spent snorkeling in Hawaii, mountain climbing in national parks, and boating with family. After 7 years, Dan experienced major health problems: a quadruple cardiac bypass surgery, followed by surgery for pancreatic cancer. Jane’s plans to continue working were dropped so she could assist Dan to recover and then continue to travel with him and enjoy their remaining time together. Dan did recover—only to begin to exhibit the early signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. One of the early signs appeared the previous Christmas as they were hanging outdoor lights. To Jane’s dismay, she noted that Dan could not follow the sequential directions she gave him. As time passed, other signs appeared, such as some memory loss and confusion, frequent repeating of favorite phrases, sudden outbursts of anger, and decreased social involvement. Assessments resulted in the diagnosis of early Alzheimer’s disease. Dan was prescribed Aricept, and Jane began to prepare herself to face this new stage of their married life. She read literature about Alzheimer’s disease avidly and organized their home for physical and psychological safety. A kitchen blackboard displayed phone numbers and the daily schedule. Car keys were appropriately stowed. It was noted that she began to savor her time with Dan. Just sitting together with him on the sofa brought gentle expressions to her face. They continued to attend church services and functions but stopped their regular swims at their exercise facility when Dan left the dressing room naked one day. Within the year, Jane’s retired sister and brother-in-law relocated to a home a short walk from Jane’s. Their intent was to be on call to assist Jane in caring for Dan. Dan and Jane’s children did not live nearby so could only assist occasionally. As Dan’s symptoms intensified, a neighbor friend, Helen, began to relieve Jane for a few hours each week. At this time, Jane is still the primary dependent-care agent. She prides herself in mastering a dual shower; she showers Dan in his shower chair first, and then, while she showers, he sits on the near.

When hospital D became part of Western Healthcare system that had a central board of directors, your hospital’s board began to struggle with its revised role. The new organizational environment included several outpatient clinics, multispecialty physician practices, multispecialty physician practices, and an insurance entity. Many of the current board members had served the organization since the hospital was built, and board activities always had been performed in a certain way. The administration rigidly controlled board meetings. Board members did not ask questions and routinely approved committee reports. The reports covered topics such as the organization’s financial status and future financial plans, physician credentialing, care quality monitoring, new policies, and plan for a new hospital. A new board member with a healthcare background was appointed after extensive screening and a personal interview with the executive committee. She was not part of the local business structure, and the administration was concerned that her appointment might not be a wise move. During her first board meeting, two very interesting reports were given. One report detailed some reengineering projects. One of these involved redesigning nursing staffing patterns. This redesign decreased the number of registered nurses (RNs), and replaced them with licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and certified nursing assistants (CNAs). The current quality report documented a very high quality of care and positive patient satisfaction surveys. Data excerpted from this report can be seen in the First Quarter column of the table below. Given that this was her first board meeting, the new board member remained silent and did not ask any questions. Performance data Quality Performance Measure 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter Medication errors 3.2% 10.42% Patient falls 4.21% 8.56% Cesarean sections 14.21% 17.87% Rate of vaginal birth after C-sections 18.27% 15.72% Healthcare associated infections 1.78% 4.85% Surgical errors 0.15% 0.21% Patient Satisfaction Measure 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter Overall service 40.52% 20.74% Overall clinical 86.72% 70.82% Overall quality of service 45.40% 22.34% Food 30.56% 32.54% Overall cleanliness 85.89% 83.26% Within four months, the new nursing staffing patterns had been launched. Data excerpted from the quality indicators report presented to the board can be seen in the “2nd Quarter” column of the table. After reviewing the data presented by the nurse administrator, the new board member was very concerned and decided to ask if the values in the quality report, which show a negative trend, were for the nursing units with the new staffing patterns. The administrator reported that there was a direct correlation. This answer initiated discussion among other board members who were accustomed to using quality indicators in their businesses. This was the first substantive board-level discussion that the new board memb.

When I look through the Social Science lens, as it relates to air pollution, I think of human behavior and ask the questions; what actions or inactions do humans take to contribute to, or reduce air pollution? Through the Natural Science lens, one could make a conclusion based on actual facts and data collected through scientific experiments and testing. After viewing air pollution through both lenses, I believe human behavior is the direct result of air pollution, therefore studying the topic through both lenses, seems the only logical choice. Through the Natural Science lens, we can study the root cause and consequences of air pollution. Through the Social Science lens, we can mitigate the negative effects of air pollution by studying the human behavior directly related to the cause, and suggest alternatives. In this case, the two lenses, in a sense, cross-promote and collaborate with each other. I do not believe my view on the topic has changed after looking through the two lenses, but I definitely have a better understanding of how the two are related and provoke thought. I am currently working on the Lens Chart, could you tell me if this is a project that is turned in? .

When epidemiologists are working to track a disease, the three elements that they focus on are the agent , the host , and the environment . Following are explanations of each element. The agent is what causes the disease. The agent is often a virus or bacteria but can also be caused by other agents . In the scenario, described in the Introduction, the agent is the E.coli bacteria. The host refers to those who are contracting the disease. The host doesn’t necessarily become sick. Hosts can serve as carriers of the disease who do not show outward signs or symptoms. Finally, the environment refers to the external factors that support or cause the disease to spread. In the E. coli scenario, the lettuce became infected either at the farm or during transport; the lettuce was sold to the distributor and then to Sam’s Sandwich trucks; and people ate the lettuce on these sandwiches. Each of these steps is important to tracking the disease, and epidemiologists work diligently to trace and report each of the steps to prevent further transmission of the disease. The following is an example of an epidemiologic triad. Agent : Salmonella bacteria Keep in mind that agents can be biologic (e.g., bacteria or viruses), chemical (e.g., poisons or alcohol), physical (e.g., trauma or radiation), or nutritional (e.g., a lack or excess of essential nutrients). Host factors : Individuals who are particularly vulnerable (e.g., the very young or very old and immunocompromised individuals). Note that, in general, host characteristics can include age, sex, race, religion, customs, occupation, genetic factors, other health factors, and immunologic status. Environmental factors : Contaminated kitchen surfaces or utensils, undercooking of contaminated food items, or contaminated chicken. Environmental factors can include temperature, crowding, noise, pollution, food, and radiation. Changes in one factor in the epidemiological triad can influence the occurrence of disease by increasing or decreasing a person's risk for disease. Consider how variations in each factor, shown in the example, can influence the manifestation of disease. Refer to pages 435-440 in your Friis and Sellers (2021) textbook for further explanation. In this Discussion, you will apply the epidemiologic triad to a disease of your choice to gain a better understanding of both the model and the disease. To prepare  for this Discussion: Access and review the Epidemiological Triad Learning Interaction. Select an infectious disease from the list proved in List of Infectious Diseases document for Week 1 Discussion. Review the Week 1 “Ebola Virus Disease in the Light of Epidemiological Triad” (Kaur, Sachdeva, Jha, & Sulania, 2017) resource. Consider how the epidemiologic triad/triangle can be applied to your selected disease. Consider how variations in each factor shown in the example from the textbook can influence the manifestation of the disease..

When discussing search and seizures or search warrants the individuals constitutional rights are the first thing that comes to mind most considerable the fourth amendment which states “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures , shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause , supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched , and the persons or things to be seized .” Therefore, as stated in the fourth amendment no warrants shall be issued unless probable cause is present. To receive a search warrant the officers must support their showings with sworn statements (Legal Information Institute, n.d.) Therefore, a search warrant is needed once the officers believe there is probable cause and only after they submit sworn statements and are approved by a judge to execute the search warrant. Law enforcement must have probable cause to demonstrate to a judge that they have enough suspicion to receive a search warrant. The only policy and practice required by the court to attempt to receive a search warrant is the presence of probable cause (Bowers, 2014). The exceptions to search warrants include searches incident to an arrest, consent searches, vehicle searches, container searches, and emergency circumstances (AMU Lesson 3, 2020). Searches incident to an arrest allows a warrantless search of an arrested individual so that officer is safe, the suspect cannot escape, and to preserve evidence. respond to this discussion question in 100 words .
