Data Collection II01:29

Data Collection II

10.1K
The nursing history captures and records the patient's health status, so that a care plan evolves to meet the patient's individual needs. The nursing health history is a part of the initial assessment. A comprehensive history covers all health dimensions and plays a significant role in the assessment process. A comprehensive history includes the patient's biographical information, reasons for seeking health care, expectations, present and past health history, medications, and...

Data Collection I

Data collection gathers information needed to make accurate judgments about a patient's present condition. During a health history interview, subjective data is collected from the patient, their caregivers, or family members, and objective data is collected through observations and physical assessment. Patients are the primary source of subjective data. Thus information gathered from patients through interviews, observations, and physical examination is primary data. Secondary sources of...

Data collection is a systematic method of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. An experimental study is a standard method of data collection that involves the manipulation of the samples by applying some form of treatment prior to data collection. It refers to manipulating one variable to determine its changes on another variable. The sample subjected to treatment is known as “experimental units.”
An example of the experimental method is a public...

Data Collection by Survey

9.1K
The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...

Data collection refers to a systematic way of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. Observational studies are one of the most widely used methods of data collection. It involves collecting data by observing the behavior and physical characteristics of a sample without making any modifications to the sample.
An astronomer viewing the motion and brightness of stars in the sky and recording the data is an example of observational data collection. A botanist recording...

Data Collection III

The physical assessment examines the patient for objective data that defines the patient's condition, and aids in formulating the nursing care plan. The purpose of physical assessment is a health status appraisal, which includes identifying health problems, and establishing a database for nursing intervention.
The principles to begin the physical assessment include conducting a comprehensive or problem-related history in a quiet, well-lit room, emphasizing privacy and comfort for the...

Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Biodiversity Informatics
  • Digital Specimen Curation

Background:

  • The Macrofungi Collection Consortium (MaCC) project was funded by the National Science Foundation's Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections program.
  • Digitization of biodiversity collections is crucial for understanding species distribution and diversity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide baseline data for assessing the extent and distribution of macrofungal diversity in North America.
  • To create a centralized, accessible database of macrofungal specimens.

Main Methods:

  • Digitization of approximately 1,250,000 macrofungal specimens from 39 U.S. herbaria between 2012 and 2017.
  • Consolidation of newly digitized data with existing records and contributions from the Microfungi Collections Consortium.
  • Online sharing of the aggregated data through the MyCoPortal, a Symbiota-based data portal.

Main Results:

  • Creation of a comprehensive database with approximately 3.4 million specimen records.
  • The MyCoPortal now hosts digitized herbarium specimen data, descriptions, illustrations, and observational records.
  • The project successfully aggregated data from multiple institutions, enhancing accessibility.

Conclusions:

  • The digitized specimen data database serves as a valuable resource for both amateur and professional mycologists.
  • The data will form the foundation for the development of a comprehensive Mycoflora of North America.
  • Ongoing collaborative efforts aim to document North American macrofungi using genetic sequences, phenotypic descriptions, and images.
