Teacher Comment about our answer: This is Our Comment 1

Your examples are very timely. In fact, in these days of economic depression statistics can be misused, spun or used inappropriately in many different ways especially by marketers to sell their product. Sometimes this is not even done consciously or intentionally, the resulting facts or analysis may not be necessarily wrong. They may, however, present a partial or overly simplistic picture possibly leading to wrong information. Lots of manipulation and distortion are possible within the field of statistics, though it has mathematical base, it is more of an art as it is of a science.

Given this scenario, what do you think we could do to educate the layperson to ensure finding the real facts?

Thanks,

Comment 2

Graphics along with statistics can be utilized to misrepresent information in several ways. Individuals tend to take in too much mainly due to the fact that marketing messages persuade us to. Via convincing numerical facts, the general people happen to presume that these assertions are scientifically correct (Penrose, 2008). Information can be misrepresented via people’s mistakes, for instance, sampling mistakes which are the most conventional (Groves, 2004). Sampling mistakes come to be mainly due to the distinction in the sample along with the populace.

A very appropriate instance showing the misinterpretation of data was the presidential election of the year 1936 where the magazine Literary Digest foretold that the victor of the election would be Landon. In actuality, Roosevelt emerged as the winner of the selection. The election results were faulty by approximately 20%, this was brought about by a sampling error. The magazine publishers had gotten people’s details from directories, review subscribers along with club affiliations among others. They distributed an estimate of 10 million fake ballots and asked that every one of them is taken back to the magazine firm. From the entire batch of 10 million ballots, just approximately 2.5 million were taken back. This resulted in an even bigger discrepancy. It is very evident that this poll did away with the lesser salary segment of the American populace because approximately 9 million American citizens were still jobless. The Great Depression had just come to a close and not each resident owned or could get hold of a telephone (Wainer, 1997).

  

Discussion:

Despite increased abilities across developmental realms, including the maturation of pain systems involving self-regulation and the coordination of affect and cognition, the transition to young adulthood is accompanied by higher rates of mortality, greater engagement in health-damaging behaviors, and an increase in chronic conditions.  Rates of motor vehicle fatality and homicide peak during young adulthood, as do mental health problems, substance abuse, unintentional pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections.  

Describe how the advanced practice nurse can play a role in improving the health of young adults through preventive screening and intervention.

John is a doctor in Hope Geral hospital. The doctor has been working for five years. He started working in this hospital when he acquired his degree though this is the hospital in which he did his internship. Doctor John is the doctor in judge in Hope General Hospital. The doctor’s leadership style is transformational leadership. The doctor is focused on bringing change to the organization. Dr. John leads his team, and also he is a mentor to most nurses who are doing their intern in the organization, Dr. John takes at least three hours to monitor what the nurses in practice are doing and also he uses this time to guide them. The Dr is also friendly to the patient, and most patients have hi number, and they can call the doctor any time within the working hours for assistance. For emergency cases, the doctor has another number that patients use to call for help. The doctor works both within the organization and outside when the need arises.

Dr. John is a transformational leader; he communicates a lot with his team (Gray et al., 2017). He conducts a lot of open meetings; this is to allow his team members to express their views regarding the change the doctor he what to make. Since Dr. John was assigned as the doctor in judge, he has made a lot of changes within the organization. At first, the rate of readmission was 40%, but in the past five years, the rate has dropped by half.

The doctor has a vital role he is playing within the organization; the Dr ensures that every department is running effectively, and also he has a communication chain that helps him to gather information which can help the organization become more productive. Dr. John encourages a lot of teamwork. An example, in every ward, Dr. John ensures that there are three professionals from different departments who are delivering care to the patients.

I chose Doctor John as my preceptor because some time ago, I accompanied my father to the hospital, and his case required this particular doctor to attend to him. As the doctor as examining him, he sounded friendly and ready to explain to us every procedure my father will require, and also, he made us understand the health issue that was affecting my father. From this incident, I saw the doctor be the best mentor to me. Most people from my community also trust the doctor due to his good work. The doctor is in charge of the organization he has ensured that professions are comfortable within the organization and will the recruitment team members to focus on other things instead of recruiting professionals regularly. Due to the change today, patients are safe in HGH, and the patient outcome has improved significantly.

Different health care leaders have different strategies that can help an organization, but also patients can be of great help in giving views that will govern the organization (Nelson et al., 2015). The purpose of a health care organization is to achieve the patient outcome; therefore, to get to know what the patients can be of great help. When conducting health care, this can be the best time to understand what the patients need. Different patients have different needs, but the primary need is quality services; thus, from the many options the patient will give, the leader should choose the best views.

The leader can protect health issues; this is because the primary role of a health care leader is to ensure the organization can deliver quality services that help to achieve the patient outcome (Hannum et al., 2017). An example, falling has been an issue in most health care organizations. Looking at the problem, some organizations have overcome the issue while others have not. The difference is causes be the difference in governance. In HGH, the leader aims to make a change; thus, this leader has made proper strategies that will help him achieve this change, and results have been observed even though not to its maximum. Dr. John has been able to protect his team, which is to ensure that their jobs are secured. 

Ethics can be an issue if a leader does not take a good look at the problem. Today HGH has all the principles of ethics; this has helped the organization to receive the patient had lost to the competitors. Dr. John, together with his team, when an issue arises, they discuss, and Dr. John makes the final decision. For many years the organization had problems with high recruitment, which affected a lot the organization’s productivity, but since Dr. John was chosen as a leader, this has reduced significantly.

The issue Dr. John has encountered regarding organization data is the lack of useful data. Dr. John, when he reported first at the office, a lot of data, especially the finance files, were missing at that time the organization was falling due to lack of funds. Dr. John is not sure what he was to do to help the organization because even the drugs were not available at the organization. Dr. John made strategies and got some money, which enabled him to manage the organization until it was stable. The finance issue affected the organization for about two years. Today the organization is trusted with the community, and also they receive a patient from other communities this shows that the organization is now stable
