1.How do you use statistics in your work as a nurse or healthcare provider? Find and discuss at least two examples of how statistics are used in your field. Do you feel like statistics are a vital part of the nursing field? Why or why not?
2.Multiple studies conducted in the United States, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom show that the probability of dying in the hospital is higher if you are admitted on the weekend. Why might this be? What factors might contribute to this probability? What could hospitals do to reduce/eliminate this phenomenon?
3.Using survey data to calculate statistics can be extremely valuable, but you must also make sure that the sample and questions are unbiased. Design a pair of questions that are related to the same healthcare issue: one that is unbiased and another that would result in a bias in one direction or the other.
Examples:
Do you think that the rate of type II diabetes diagnoses will increase over the next 10 years?
Given the large increase in childhood obesity in the United States, do you think that type II diabetes diagnoses will increase over the next 10 years?
Discuss why it is important to create a truly unbiased sample and survey questions.
