Frequency distributions can be graphed with bar charts, histograms or polygons. Choose one variable from the “Health Behavior Data Set” and discuss which type of graph is appropriate and why. Refer to section 2.3 in the Using and Interpreting Statistics: A Practical Text for the Behavioral, Social, and Health Sciences textbook as needed for assistance.

Find a creative piece of art or literature (poem, short story, movie, or painting) that expresses feelings on loss, grief, or death. Reflect on the emotions being expressed and interpret the meaning this piece has for you as you promote a dignified, peaceful death for your elderly patients.

Be sure to address the following questions in your response:

• How do the emotions and feelings expressed relate to any age, and how might they be similar or different to the loss and grief seen more commonly with advanced age?
• Does this change your awareness or sensitivity to any aspect of “death and dying”? If so, how? If not, how does it reinforce previously held beliefs?
• In what way are cultural or religious beliefs reflected in the artistic expression?
• Can you think of specific practices you would like to see changed in your health care setting regarding the type of support given to patients and families through the “death and dying” experience?

Discussion question:  Pretend you are a new nurse manager and you have decided to make your unit the showplace for collaboration in the hospital. Describe steps you would take to foster a climate of collaboration in your area. After determining the steps, delineate which step you would use first and why.

Please discuss your information, findings, and opinions concerning this question with your fellow class Learners and Faculty Mentor.

If you are a tactile learner, you learn by touching and doing. You understand and remember things through physical movement. You are a “hands-on” learner who prefers to touch, move, build, or draw what you learn, and you tend to learn better when some type of physical activity is involved. You need to be active and take frequent breaks, you often speak with your hands and with gestures, and you may have difficulty sitting still.

As a tactile learner, you like to take things apart and put things together, and you tend to find reasons to tinker or move around when you become bored. You may be very well coordinated and have good athletic ability. You can easily remember things that were done but may have difficulty remembering what you saw or heard in the process. You often communicate by touching, and you appreciate physically expressed forms of encouragement, such as a pat on the back.

Here are some things that tactile learners like you can do to learn better:

• Participate in activities that involve touching, building, moving, or drawing.
• Do lots of hands-on activities like completing art projects, taking walks, or acting out stories.
• It’s OK to chew gum, walk around, or rock in a chair while reading or studying.
• Use flashcards and arrange them in groups to show relationships between ideas.
• Trace words with your finger to learn spelling (finger spelling).
• Take frequent breaks during reading or studying periods (frequent, but not long).
• It’s OK to tap a pencil, shake your foot, or hold on to something while learning.
• Use a computer to reinforce learning through the sense of touch.

Remember that you learn best by doing, not just by reading, seeing, or hearing.

Q1.  specify AND EXPLAIN three (3) strategies that would help you to improve your learning. Make these applicable to your professional career, e.g. practice in the laboratory or watch a demonstrative video. 

( include at least three methods you could employ which would help you learn better, but with a relevant example. E.g. a visual learner might read the instructions before assembling a flat pack table.)

What evidence have you seen in your workplace or social circles of hierarchies? How do these hierarchies contribute negatively to the environment?
