Thank you for your post! I want to clarify the interval and ratio level of measurements.

Feedback and Question: In statistics, measurements having starting points are classified as ratio levels of measurement.

Do you know if blood pressure readings are measured starting from zero and cannot go below zero, with zero being the baseline? I recommend watching this YouTube video to learn about the types of data and levels of measurement. I'd love to hear your thoughts after watching it. Thank you.

In this module, you begin laying the foundation for your academic and professional success. Your efforts begin with a vision that includes your own definition of success. Your vision may vary from those of your colleagues, but this does not mean you have to take these first steps alone.

Walden University and the College of Nursing also have a vision and mission, which include helping you to make your own vision a reality. Members of your new academic community, such as faculty, support teams, and fellow students, can also be helpful. Current practitioners and other member of the professional community can also help you to clarify your vision.

This Module’s Discussion asks you to consider how the Walden mission and vision as well as the College of Nursing’s mission and vision apply to your professional and academic goals. You will also begin to identify individuals and teams who can help you along the way as you begin designing the “blueprint”—your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan—that will guide you toward your own vision for academic and professional success. Finally, you will explain the importance of networking and how it can help you achieve your professional and academic goals.

Informative Speech

Carnival

For my informative speech presentation. I would like to talk about carnival

  1. Celebration of rebellion against enslavement
  2. Originated in Trinidad and Tobago
  3. Carnival tradition is based on a number of disciplines.

Connection

It has been documented and demonstrated that a safe work environment that prioritizes process improvement produces positive patient experiences. An effective physician-nurse leader connection is one of the essential elements of this setting. Talk about an instance when you attempted or failed to involve a physician leader in patient experience initiatives. 

What might you have changed or improved upon? 

What worked if you were successful? 

Did any of these initiatives result in safer or better outcomes for patients? Why, or why not?

Diet and weight control play a crucial role in health to stop risks for chronic diseases like diabetes. When you maintain a healthy diet full of essential nutrients and vitamins by eating an adequate amount of healthy foods the risk of any development of chronic diseases reduce. (The center of diseases (2018). The cardiovascular system is a major contributor for your body and eating more fruits and vegetables can help with maintaining a healthy heart. Exercise is very important for the body to maintain a healthy body weight status. Based on EBP, when you maintain a healthy lifestyle and get your essential daily intake in control the risks of becoming obese is very low. Developing a healthy lifestyle with good nutritional values helps the body with development over time as everybody ages. A lot of Americans and culture driven like the Hispanic people are becoming obese by following a high calorie, high processed foods, and a high sugar intake diet. People who drink pop, eat deli meats, cookies, and cakes are becoming overweight and developing diabetes and have hypertension. This is so important that we start to understand the importance of exercise, eating a balanced healthy meal containing vitamins and nutrients that break down fats from high sugars or processed foods. If we have a understanding about how we can make healthy lifestyle choices by eating right and maintaining a healthy weight status then we can lower any risk favors due to obesity and/or other chronic diseases.
