Continuous Variables

Continuous variables are considered as such because they may have an unlimited value between two points (Polit & Beck, 2017). Continuous variables are for example speed, distance, weight, temperature and age (McCue, 2015). Types of continuous variables that can be applied in the field of nursing are blood pressure reading, BMI, and potassium level. These are known as quantitative variables (Hoskin, n.d.)

A discrete variable is known as the type of data that can have a set value between two points (Polit & Beck, 2017). Examples of discrete values must be concrete and for this whole numbers are used to record the values. Examples of discrete variables include number of pregnancies, number of surgeries has had, number of houses sold by a realtor, number of patients seen at a clinic in a day and number of students that sign up for music class. Whole numbers are needed because for example, a realtor can sell 1 house but not 1.5 houses (Polit & Beck, 2017).

Categorical variables can be described as label as they place things into groups and order (UF Health, 2019). These are further subdivided into nominal or ordinal. Nominal categorical variables include gender, race, and hair color. Ordinal categorical variables include intensity of pain, and customer survey result. Dichotomous variables are considered those who fit into one of two categories such as gender for example, it can be female or female, a person can only be either dead or alive and time of day is either day or night (Polit & Beck, 2017).

Unit 2

Q1

From your experience in the health care industry, what is the difference between leadership and management? How can an advanced registered nurse both lead well and provide management? Think about interactions with patients, team members, daily tasks, and responsibilities as you formulate your response.

Q2

The underlying principle of servant leadership is that leaders address the needs of the team before their own and serve others before serving the self. After reviewing the topic materials and conducting your own research on servant leadership, describe how the vocation of the nurse is similar to the goals of a servant leader. Identify any examples you have seen in your practice, and the best way you can demonstrate servant leadership in nursing practice.

Unit 3

Q1

How have you seen or experienced organizational change within an organization? Did it go well or not? Was there any correlation in how the organizations used stakeholders or change models?

Q2

You have been selected to serve on a community outreach committee within your state’s nursing organization. The committee includes registered nurses of different specialties. At your first meeting, it becomes evident that not everyone is in agreement with a recent position statement about the role of spiritual care, with some members arguing they will no longer support the committee if the position statement is not revised or reversed. As a nurse leader, how could you draw from change theory to address these concerns and encourage collaboration on the committee?

Unit 4

Q1

Are there professional barriers to being involved with the legislative process, such as retaliation from institutions or individuals who do not share your same viewpoints? What steps would you take to ensure you can represent the advanced registered nurse as a leader and patient advocate under these types of circumstances?

Q2

Chapter 14 in the textbook, Leadership in Nursing Practice: Changing the Landscape of Health Care, discusses the nursing profession’s lack of representation in health care policymaking, even though nurses currently represent the largest profession within the health care industry. The text suggests that this may be related to gender inequality, with women making up a large percentage of the nursing profession. Do you see any correlation to this argument?
