Data Collection II01:29

Data Collection II

10.0K
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

8.9K
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...

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:

  • Food Microbiology
  • Data Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Microbiological analysis of food products is crucial for ensuring public health and safety.
  • Existing data collection methods may lack flexibility for comprehensive analysis and standard setting.
  • The Department of Defense (DoD) operates a network of laboratories generating significant food microbiological data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present selected results from a Computerized Food Microbiological Data Collection program.
  • To demonstrate the utility of the program for retrieving and analyzing microbiological data from various food products.
  • To provide data that can aid in the establishment of future microbiological standards and guidelines for food products.

Main Methods:

  • Data were collected from 11 DoD laboratories.
  • Microbiological data were centrally compiled, coded, and entered into a flexible computer program.
  • Specific retrievals were performed for comminuted beef, luncheon meats, prepared sandwiches, and delicatessen salads.

Main Results:

  • The database contains microbiological data from over 30,000 food samples.
  • Specific data subsets analyzed include 810 comminuted beef samples, 215 luncheon meat samples, 653 prepared sandwich samples, and 1,023 delicatessen salad samples.
  • Data were compared against existing microbiological criteria where applicable.

Conclusions:

  • The Computerized Food Microbiological Data Collection program offers a flexible and valuable resource for analyzing food safety data.
  • The presented data on specific food products can contribute to the development of evidence-based microbiological standards.
  • This data retrieval system supports informed decision-making for future food safety guidelines within the DoD and potentially beyond.
