DCS 001 Homework

Answer all four questions


Q1. A new nursing care procedure for hospitalized diabetic patients was instituted using
diabetic patients from hospitals randomly selected among all hospitals in Nigerian city.
Discuss the type of sampling scheme used and to what extent can the results be
generalized. (Hint Read Collection of Data: Sampling page 5)

Q2. Give five examples (or sources) of bias that can occur during data collection in medical
or nursing practice. (Hint Read Collection of Data: Bias 13)

Q3. The following data represent systolic blood pressures readings (in mmHg) on six
patients read by two nurses using the same instrument.

Patient Nurse 1 (X) Nurse 2 (Y)

1 130 125

2 140 135

3 136 135

4 154 160

5 120 160

6 165 125

Display the data graphically on a scatter diagram and determine the magnitude of the
association between the two sets of scores using n. (Hint Read Correlation 61)
Q4. The admissions panel of a school of nursing wished to formulate an equation for
predicting a student clinical performance based on a set of personality-IQ tests given to
students on application for admission the school. Scores on the personality-IQ test along
with grade point average for clinical performance we obtained for a random sample of 8
nursing students. The data recorded are as follows:

Student Personality-IQ Test Score Clinical Grade Point Average

1 48 2.6

2 45 2.4

3 60 3.4

4 55 3.0

5 40 2.1

6 25 1.5

7 38 1.9

8 30 1.7

i) Plot the scatter diagram


ii) Determine the equation of the line relating clinical grade point average to scores on the
personality-IQ test.

(Hint: Read Regression 71)
