Describe what you learned by grouping the variables by category of exercise.

/in /by

The purpose of this assignment is to practice organizing data through ordering and grouping variables.
Data often appear disordered and it is difficult to see any connections or relationships. Ordering the data by certain variables or grouping variables into specific categories, such as age or sex categories, can help bring clarity to the data. Knowing how to organize data is an important skill to initiate the analytical process.
For this assignment, students will use Excel and SPSS Statistics to order variables. Using the “Example Dataset,” complete the steps below using both Excel and SPSS Statistics. View the Excel and SPSS tutorials for assistance in completing this assignment. Submit one Word document and include a screen shot of the data after completing the first two steps of Part 1 in Excel and SPSS to compare your results. Use a second Word document to complete Part 2 of the assignment.
Part 1: Ordering and Grouping Data Using Excel and SPSS
For Part 1, accomplish the following:
Order (sort) observations according to age.
Group observations by sex and investigate the age and income for males and females.
Create a new variable titled “Exercise Group” based on the variable “Minutes Exercise.” Use the following categories to create your groups: 1 = 0-30 minutes; 2 = 31-60 minutes; 3 = 61-90 minutes; 4 = 91-120 minutes; and 5 = 120+ minutes.
Part 2: Data Interpretation
Study the results of the dataset grouping and ordering. Discuss the following in a 500-750 word summary:
Describe the measurement levels for each of the variables in the dataset.
Discuss what you learned from ordering the data by age and why this information is important.
Describe the process you used to group the data in Excel and SPSS.
Describe what you learned by grouping the variables by category of exercise.
Are these data from a correlational study, experimental study, or quasi-experimental (observational) study? Discuss your rationale and identify a study question appropriate for this dataset.
General Requirements
Submit the Word document to the instructor.
APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

 (Belmont, California: Wadsworth Cengage Learning, 2005).
Instructions: Read the pages in the Pojman book that discuss Divine Command Theory (pp. 93–98) and then answer the following questions.
1. Explain the three claims that make up divine command theory, providing examples when necessary to explain. (See p. 94).
2. Explain the autonomy thesis (p.94), and the argument that is presented by the theist against this thesis (p. 97, specifically the response offered by Craig).
3. On p. 98, Pojman claims that “religious ethics will be more likely to advocate strong altruism, whereas secular codes will emphasize reciprocal altruism.” Why does Pojman conclude this from his discussion of Divine command theory?

Latifah Privott 
Violet is in a tough and vulnerable position that many women and single mothers can relate to.  She has so many responsibilities piling up including going back to school, in need of a new career, three children with different specific needs, not to mention neglecting her own needs and struggling to make meet their financial needs.
Violet would benefit greatly from free childcare, public health services, financial assistance, medical services, and even human services.
First, I would suggest that Violet to reach out to her local human service department. It appears that she has a long journey ahead of her trying to balance life and motherhood. Therefore the human service model has to be her first source of help. According to Woodside and McClam (2015), The human service model is concerned with the interaction between the individual and the environment, stressing the need for balance between the two. (p.102). This model will help to give Violet a better sense of what she can do on her own and then assist her areas she can’t control independently. The ability to have support with groceries, rent, and even childcare will help her out a lot to clear her mind of her most pertinent responsibilities.
Her son has a few psychological issues affecting him in school, her daughter has been in and out of the hospital, and Violet has many changes in her life as well. It may be best for the entire family to seek some therapy. Psychoanalytic method will allow the entire family to express their feelings. In this method, the clients or patients share all thoughts with the therapist. The therapist interprets this material to explain to patients the nature of their repressions and the influence of these repressions on their present problems. In this method, the clients or patients share all thoughts with the therapist. The therapist interprets this material to explain to patients the nature of their repressions and the influence of these repressions on their present problems. (Woodside and McClam, 2015, p. 105). This could be a great bonding experience for the entire family. This is considered the medical method and it will offer great benefits to this family.
The oldest daughter keeps having issues with her breathing and which could be related to her allergies. I’m not certain of what maybe triggering her attacks but it could be possible its environmental. Violet could be living in an income-restricted housing that may not get all the proper cleaning and treatments necessary. This may be a matter for the public health model. Public health is sometimes not separable from human welfare. Improving public health means improving education, nutrition, safe food and water supplies, immunization, and maternal and child health. It is particularly difficult to dissociate ill health from poverty. (Woodside and McClam, 2015, p.113). A great outcome that could come out of this method could be identifying triggers to help alleviate her daughters breathing difficulties.

COLLAPSE
This week we are tasked with reviewing the case of Violet, a single mother of three children who is currently experiencing some challenges and problems in living.  The problems/challenges identified in her case are as follows:

Single parent household
Inadequate income/employment
Still pursuing education
Medical challenges for two eldest children (Diabetes, allergies, psychological problems)
Child care needed for youngest child

The services Violet’s family needs to address their challenges are related to: employment, educational support, mental health, medical, public health services, and child care.
To assist Violet with employment, educational support and childcare, the best model to serve violet and her family is the Human Services model.  We learn from Woodside and McClam (2015) that “treatment in this model encompasses services to both the individual and the environment through work with the client as well as the people and the institutions with which the client is involved” (p. 102).  This model also serves as a “problem-solving” method that requires the mobilization of a variety of resources to meet the needs of the whole person.  In this case, Violet can benefit from resources related to childcare, employment, and educational support.  Use of this model also identifies and prioritizes problems in clear, understandable terms.  Client strengths are highlighted and the process is evaluated continuously, which allows for revisions to be made as information and circumstances change. Through the human services model, Violet can begin to learn how to problem-solve and respond to changes in her environment in an effective manner.
Per the case study, Violet’s eldest daughter suffers from diabetes and allergies, and her eldest son, suffers from psychological problems.  To address this need, Violet’s family would best be served by the Medical model.  The medical model is focused on the individual, therefore, the individual or “patient” “receives treatment from a physician in a hospital or medical clinic through the process of symptom, diagnosis, treatment, and cure” (Woodside & McClam, 2015, p. 102-108).

HomeNursing homework helpReport IssueDiscussion: The Inclusion of Nurses in the Systems Development Life Cycle
In the media introduction to this module, it was suggested that you as a nurse have an important role in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). With a focus on patient care and outcomes, nurses may not always see themselves as contributors to the development of new systems. However, as you may have observed in your own experience, exclusion of nurse contributions when implementing systems can have dire consequences.
In this Discussion, you will consider the role you might play in systems development and the ramifications of not being an active participant in systems development.
To Prepare:
Review the steps of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) as presented in the Resources.
Reflect on your own healthcare organization and consider any steps your healthcare organization goes through when purchasing and implementing a new health information technology system.
Consider what a nurse might contribute to decisions made at each stage of the SDLC when planning for new health information technology.
By Day 3 of Week 9
Post a description of what you believe to be the consequences of a healthcare organization not involving nurses in each stage of the SDLC when purchasing and implementing a new health information technology system. Provide specific examples of potential issues at each stage of the SDLC and explain how the inclusion of nurses may help address these issues. Then, explain whether you had any input in the selection and planning of new health information technology systems in your nursing practice or healthcare organization and explain potential impacts of being included or not in the decision-making process. Be specific and provide examples.
