Statistics and graphics continue to be the most tools for approving and disapproving theories in the present times. Different people use statistics and graphics for other several reasons and in different industries including sensitive fields like medication and healthcare. However, these graphics and statistics can be used inappropriately either with or without knowledge to mislead people. There are different ways that statistics and graphics can be used to misinterpret data.

Differences between the causation and association is the first way of misinterpreting data. At times, researchers may conclude that one variable in a research cause another variable because the two variables affect each other (Okeh, 2009). It is not true that since one variable affects another that one of them should cause another. Therefore, concluding in such dimension is a way of data misinterpretation.

The second way is to involve biasness and personal opinions in collection and representation of data. To explain this, an example of unevenly distributed data can lead to misinterpretation through graphics by making some abnormal exaggerations. For instance, a researcher may want to display the buying trends of coffee in a certain state over the past five years. During representation of data in a bar chart, some of the year may have insignificantly low sales that the researcher decides to increase the bar for that year to be visible. This action may lead to misinterpretation of data by the audience to which the data is represen

Errors is another way in which data can be misinterpreted. Errors in data analysis can lead to poor data representation thus leading to misinterpretation. Most individuals believe in statistics and when the graphs are drawn to present data, they tend to believe the trends regardless of the errors that were made.

            Scenarios

Data misinterpretation exists in several fields including the competitive markets and industries like pharmaceutical and healthcare. In pharmaceuticals, more than one medication or drug exist in the market that may serve one purpose. To make a particular type of drug to standout, commercials are used with personal opinions in data analysis and interpretation (Okeh, 2009). For instance, one of the commercials used small prints to display information about the guarantee of the benefits. In other instances, the benefits of one drug are represented in a larger scale as compared to the benefits of competing drugs to create intention misinterpretation of data by consumers.

Another example is the presidential election that was conducted in 1936 where predictions of the winner favored London. The polls were wrong because the winner was Roosevelt. The reason for this misinterpretation is the bias where lower income groups were excluded from the polls and taking too low sample size.

Discuss healthcare needs of one of the cultural groups identified – illness/disease process specific to this population.

Discuss the health programs which address the needs of the one chosen cultural group and illness/disease process

Identify gaps in health programs or resources and provide suggestions to improve cultural care needs for your community.

Discuss which theoretical model (Purnell, Giger Davidhizar, Campinha-Bacote, Leinginger) would be best used to address the needs of the one cultural group identified in this essay.

Provide a conclusion paragraph – what new knowledge was gained, how you will use this knowledge in your practice, etc.

You must have peer reviewed articles for this essay. Government websites may provide your statistics but are in addition to the five peer reviewed article requirement. In addition, it is expected that you would use your Purnell text chapters 6-24 as they relate to your community people groups and the articles provided for each specific theory or model.

APA 6th edition format is to be used to write your paper. Please review the RN BSN Orientation shell for information on how to format your paper and the essential elements of an APA paper i.e., title page, headings, correct intext citations, and a correctly formatted reference page.

Z-tests and T-Tests are both statistical methods used to test different hypotheses and analyze their differences.  The Z test is used to decide if two population means are different when they know the variances. The best time to use a Z-test is when the sample size being used is larger than 30 and the population standard deviation is known. A T-test is used examine two population means, a two sample t-test can be used to determine if two samples are different and this test is most commonly used when the variances of two normal distributions are not known and with smaller sample sizes less than 30. The following are some of the differences that can be noted between Z-tests and the T-tests.

Z-tests:

1. Z-tests will follow normal distribution.
2. Z-tests require their samples to be moderate to large in size (n>30).
3. They require certain conditions be reliable tests.
4. Z-tests are less commonly used.
5. Z-tests are preferred when standard deviations are available.

T-tests:

1. T-tests will follow the Student’s T-distribution.
2. T-tests are more appropriate for smaller sample sizes (n<30).
3. T-tests are more flexible and adaptable than z-tests.
4. T-Tests are more commonly used.
5. Can be used if the population’s standard deviation is not known.

The Caribbean nation of Haiti suffered a 7.0 magnitude earthquake on January 12, 2010.  This resulted in over 200,000 deaths and over 600,000 injured or homeless, struggling to find the basic resources needed for survival.  In my thinking, primary prevention would be with the building codes.  At the time of the earthquake, there was NO building codes.  In a perfect world, a force of nurses would act on an intervention of establishing safe, strict building codes with the officials.  Haiti is built on a natural slope so buildings are weaker and prone to falling during a quake (The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2010).  Even now, they issue no more than 10 building permits a month.  The people disregard the laws and the officials can do nothing to stop it.  If codes would be followed, lives would have been saved.

Secondary prevention intervention would be education about the importance of clean water and sanitation, and providing water and water purification methods.   Haiti had NO infrastructure before the earthquake hit, only 50% of the people had access to an improved water source.  The people had to depend on lakes, streams, rivers for their water source, regardless of it cleanliness.  Another 80% did not have adequate sanitation available.  This intervention would have been good even before the earthquake, however, with so much destruction, the threat of cholera was real and teaching about safe disposal of human waste, providing latrines, and safe water sources would be more important than ever (The Borgen Project, 2015).

Tertiary prevention intervention would be help for the amputees that have been left with a lifelong challenge.  People in Haiti with amputations need more than artificial limbs; they need prosthetic rehabilitation including not just the prosthesis but post-fabrication adjustments, physical conditioning, emotional, psychological, and post-traumatic stress disorder counseling, vocational rehabilitation, and social reintegration.  Teams of volunteers would fly in and dedicate time to work with these people to get them back on their feet, so to speak (United States National Member Society of the international society for prosthetic and orthotics, n.d.).  Providing funds to the Brac Limb and Brace Center would be a good start.  This is an organization that provides low cost, high quality artificial limbs and braces (Global Giving website, n.d.).
