Quantitative Analysis Before making decisions concerning a set of data, the data needs to be processed. The processing of data involves the production of cleaned, transformed, and modeled data that could be used for decision-making purposes. Data analysis aims at retrieving useful information. The process of data processing involves both quantitative and qualitative analysis. This paper will focus on the aspect of quantitative data analysis.  Quantitative analysis involves the understanding of information through the statistical and mathematical research and measurement of data. The quantitative analysis incorporates the use of numerical as a means of representing reality. This analysis is based on the evaluation of three sets of data. The analysis involves obtaining numerical data from 50 subjects. The data obtained is then subjected to quantitative analysis to derive the relationship between the three different sets of data. The first set of data obtained through random interviewing of people is the age of the participants.  After asking the age of the participants, voluntary information will be asked concerning the number of times the participants or a member of their families have…

Access, cost, and quality Introduction In contemporary times there has risen an increased need for quality care. Diseases are becoming more prevalent. Chronic illnesses continue to increase with new ones like Covid-19 emerging. There is a rise in demand for emergency care, expected to be provided by Advanced Practicing Nurses. In this age, and era acuity of care is needed more than anything else. Patient outcomes are an essential area that requires the involvement of Advanced Practicing Nurses. In this analysis, the objective is to analyze the role of Advanced Practice Nurses to patient’s access to care, quality of care, cost of care, and quality to the environment. This discussion further identifies the possible quality initiatives that APNs have put to place to contribute to easy access, affordable cost, and quality care for quality environment meant to uplift patient care, and quality of the situation. The assessment of the role of APNs is also a clear way of measuring the performance, and evaluation that the APN’s play in giving patients the quality care that they deserve. Below are further discussions…

  6 Short Answer Questions about a Reading Watson’s comment clearly shows that Sherlock Holmes had a detached personality and was not one to be involved with sentiments. His feelings towards Irene were, therefore, not of love but something entirely different, as revealed later in the text.   The King viewed Irene as a beautiful woman who was adamant in her undertakings. He describes Irene as an adventurer and a soul of steel, implying that she is more robust than most women would tend to be. Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein was, therefore, letting know Sherlock that it would not be an easy task getting back the picture from her as she could outsmart most people.   Watson had a sense of guilt and shame by playing along to Sherlock Holme’s plan of attaining the picture as Irene tended to Homes with kindness and grace when she thought he had been injured. The text, therefore, portrays Irene as caring and thoughtful.   Irene hiding the photo was simply a way to protect herself as she did not know what steps…

  Historical Development and Impact of Imperialism in the 19th Century China   Macartney’s mission failed in 1793, and the second one worsens the connection for both China and British countries; however, western traders were restricted to a tiny commercial outlet at Canton. Opium grown within the northeast of India was transported to China using the British fleet, causing the popularity need of drugs despite authority prohibitions on its usage. Qing court in Beijing assigned an imperial authority, Lin Zexu, an exercise to curtail an addictive product market in 1839. Lin Zexu attacked three ways, arresting dealers, punishing drug users, and restricting importers products. In 1839, the opium war waged between the Great British and china for three years. It was china’s initial conflict with the dominant European skill. Therefore, the Chinese experienced humiliating defeat as they lack modern military technology. British army ruined coastal features in china, including seizing Zhoushan island along with the source of the Yangzi stream. In 1842, according to the treaty of Nanjing, China agreements included allowing access at five coastal ports for the British…

Slide 1 Hepatitis C is an easily communicable disease caused by the Hepatitis C virus. The virus is transferred especially due to sharing of sharp objects which have been poorly treated. The disease affects the liver if the patient and thus affecting its functionality. The affected liver then becomes weak a therefore exposed to getting infected with other diseases such as liver cirrhosis and also liver cancer. The disease causes the inflammation of the liver thus affecting the flow of blood within the liver. Due to this, the liver is unable to operate effectively and therefore unable to purify the blood. In developing countries, this disease is mainly spread through drug abuse. Victims of drug abuse are highly exposed especially due to sharing of the same injections needle. During the early stages of the disease, it’s hard for the patient to notice the signs and symptoms of the disease. The main symptoms of which can be noted in a patient suffering from this disease include; bleeding easily, fatigue, itchy skin swelling in the legs of the patient among others. These…

  Magical Realism in Like Water for Chocolate Magical realism is the use of the elements of magic, in an otherwise real world. The theme is used throughout the novel to merge the magical elements with reality. In Latin America, the customary hot chocolate is usually prepared with the use of hot water, in the place of dairy milk. The author of this book uses the expression “like water for chocolate”, to describe the way hot water mixes with chocolate. This merge between water and chocolate is similar to a sexually-charged state, together with the passion that follows. Tita, the lead character, experiences a life full of unexpected turns, which sets her feelings spiral from entanglements of passion, as well as heartbreak. This paper focuses on the use and purpose of magical realism in the story. As the plot of the book unfolds, the author constantly employs the use of magical elements for the expression of the emotional challenges which faced Tita. At the beginning of the story, Tita’s love for the culinary arts was evident since she was small.…

CRITICAL APPRAISAL Abstract Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition. Studies suggest that there is a close relationship between psoriasis and mild onset depression and an estimated 2-3 % of the overall Caucasian population is likely to suffer from psoriasis. Psoriasis affects an individual’s physical appearance and as a result potentially causing stigmatization and social isolation. Once an individual faces social isolation, the elevated stress levels are likely to result in stress-related medical conditions such as depression and anxiety. The increased levels of chronic depression and metabolic commodities in psoriasis patients is also a potential causative agent for depression in persons suffering from psoriasis. To estimate the occurrence of depression in patients suffering from psoriasis a meta-analysis was conducted and results analyzed using Stata and SAS software to ensure results accuracy. The sample size results show that patients diagnosed with psoriasis are at an elevated rate of suffering from depression compared to the general public and that young patients with server psoriasis are more likely to be diagnosed with depression compared to any other group.            …

The impact of technology Introduction Technology plays an important role in the lives of Humans from the very beginning. It has been found in report research that more than 80% of young children and teenagers access any form of communication technology on their day to day basis. Cell phones are also seen to play an important role in social interactions. Cell phones are vastly used by young people and students as well to keep up to date with friends and feel the sense of belonging somewhere. Issues of any technology start when the technology is misused or overused by any individuals, similarly, children are seen to use their phones at the time of study or sleep. Some of the common problems due to technology are as follows- If a developing country lacks capital then it would not be able to enjoy the benefits of modern technologies as its expensive, again a developed country overuse the technology as they have enough money to do so. Technological development has been a very slow process, particularly for the developing countries. According to the…

Discussion Question 1 Reply to Alissa Hall Hello Alissa, one of the achievements of the consensus model was to establish standards of practice that APRN nurses all over the country adhere to. For nurses, professional standards describe the competency level required in their daily activities. The standards of practice provide nurses with the desired and achievable performance indicator, by which they can compare their performance (Charlotte, 2014). Furthermore, these Standards play numerous roles in the nursing profession, including acting as evaluation tools for nurses’ performance. Nurses are expected to compare the quality of the services provided with the minimums provided in the standards of practice. Additionally, the standards of practice ensure that the nurses attain and maintain the professional proficiency associated with APRNs (Willson & Angell, 2017). The standards provide a framework for establishing the professional proficiency of nurses and act as a checklist against which their performance is graded. References Charlotte, D. (2014).

Dissolved Oxygen and Biochemical Oxygen Demand Introduction In determining the extent of organic pollution, the two parameters that have been used include (DO) and Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). The widely used parameter for monitoring organic pollutants in wastewater is BOD. BOD has an international standard method of the five-day assay (BOD5). During the assay, BOD measures the quantity of dissolved oxygen that would be needed for the microbial oxidation of carbon organic matter within specified conditions (Pasco & Hay, 2005). In the presence of organic pollutants, the amount of dissolved oxygen will decline following their decomposition. During the laboratory session, determining the dissolved oxygen (DO0) and the dissolved oxygen in seven days (DO7) are used in estimating the BOD5. The values of DO0 and DO7 will be used in estimating the BOD5. Dissolved oxygen (DO) DO is a measure of the actual amount of free oxygen that is dissolved in water. DO is determined by two factors; polluting loading and natural cleaning. Therefore, DO measured in milligram per liter (mg/L), will reflect the extent of water pollution. In the presence…
