Organization, Effectiveness, and Format20.0     Layout5.0The layout is cluttered, confusing, and does not use spacing, headings, and subheadings to enhance the readability. The text is extremely difficult to read with long blocks of text, small point size for fonts, and inappropriate contrasting colors. Poor use of headings, subheadings, indentations, or bold formatting is evident.The layout shows some structure, but appears cluttered and busy or distracting with large gaps of white space or a distracting background. Overall readability is difficult due to lengthy paragraphs, too many different fonts, dark or busy background, overuse of bold, or lack of appropriate indentations of text.The layout uses horizontal and vertical white space appropriately. Sometimes the fonts are easy to read, but in a few places the use of fonts, italics, bold, long paragraphs, color, or busy background detracts and does not enhance readability.The layout background and text complement each other and enable the content to be easily read. The fonts are easy to read and point size varies appropriately for headings and text.The layout is visually pleasing and contributes to the overall message with appropriate use of headings, subheadings, and white space. Text is appropriate in length for the target audience and to the point. The background and colors enhance the readability of the text.Language Use and Audience Awareness (includes sentence construction, word choice, etc.)5.0Inappropriate word choice and lack of variety in language use are evident.

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).
