2. SPSS Assignment (80 points)
In a study of medical surgical nursing student exam grades Dr. Koestler examined 40 participants in an undergraduate medical surgical class. The exam grades were reported on a continuous scale from 0 to 100. The SPSS assignment records the exam grades for all 40 subjects.
1. Use the Exam_Score2 dataset to prepare the following in SPSS (20 points).
a. A frequency distribution
b. A cumulative frequency distribution
c. A histogram (cut and paste to this document)
d. A frequency polygon
2. Determine from your output (20 points)
a. Using the Robert E. Smith School of Nursing Grading Scale determine what
percentage of the students failed the exam?
b. Determine the Mean, Mode and Median of this data set

3. How would you describe the shape of this distribution in terms of: Shape, Modality, Center,
Range, Outliers, Gaps (30 points)

Do you think you were changed or transformed in regards to classical music and/or leadership?Discuss

Prior to listening to the TED Talk, on a scale of 0 – 10, rate your perception of/love for “classical music”. Using the scale, a score of 0 – 3 would likely indicate that you rarely listen to it and believe you hate it. A score of 4 – 6 would likely indicate that at times you have been exposed to it and did not dislike it. However, if you had to choose the type of music to listen to, classical would not be the choice. A score of 7 – 8 would likely indicate that you enjoy classical music for relaxation purposes and choose to listen to it on occasion. A score of 9 -10 would indicate you love and enjoy listening to classical music most of the time.

What is your score prior to listening to the TED talk?
What is your score after listening to the TED talk?
After participating in the exercise he asked you to do (remember a loved one who is no longer with you), do you believe when you hear classical music you will think of it in a different manner now?
What do you think the message was from the presenter in regards to leadership to the audience of business leaders?
Do you think you were changed or transformed in regards to classical music and/or leadership?

What proportion of their GDP do countries generally spend on health? Why is there such a wide range?

1.What are some of the key human resource challenges that low and middle income countries face in staffing and operating their health systems? (CH. 6). What are YOUR thoughts about what you read? Please address the term 'brain drain' in your answer. What are the ethical issues in educating health care workers in a developing country – and those health care workers migrating to developed countries in order to earn higher salaries (in most instances leaving the original country in great need of qualified nurses and physicians)? How would YOU propose to solve these issues? Cite your textbook at least once (page number only).

For the following, you will choose to answer EITHER 2A or 2B (your choice). Be sure to indicate which one you are answering. (CH. 6 and CH. 7). PLEASE WRITE ABOUT 2A

2 A. What proportion of their GDP do countries generally spend on health? Why is there such a wide range? (CH. 6). What are YOUR thoughts about what you read? Cite your textbook at least once (page number only).

3. Why would members of a community seek treatment for illness from traditional healers? What is your OPINION of traditional healers or of non-nurse midwives? When you were growing up, did your parents (or grandparents) use alternative therapies when someone was ill (eg in my family, my mother rubbed Vick's on our chests when we had a cold)? (CH. 7).

4. Find someone, anyone but yourself, who was raised in another country. Ask them about their experiences with health care in that country.

5. What are your thoughts about what I wrote above in the last two paragraphs to the introduction to this unit above? The first paragraph begins with "Finally…..". Right above my name. The two paragraphs are highlighted in light yellow. In a class like this, it is always OK and perfectly acceptable to disagree with the teacher – and present your own thinking about this or any other topic.
