I know the number of falls that are associated with the failure of staff to follow the Fall/Risk Protocol, and I am able to determine the root cause of an incident; however, I do still feel intimidated by p-values, t-tests, confidence intervals and other terminology that I was not familiar with. I realize that I feel more competent in my ability to gather data than I do in my ability to analyze or interpret this information. I view myself as one that is more than willing to implement evidence-based practices, than being the one that interprets the statistics that determine and support the credibility of evidence-based practices. Now that I know just what is involved, I will definitely be a better consumer of data and information.

Question No. 2 Example of answer your question no. 2 -please do the answer like below. Assessment Question: Reflection When I saw that “Professional Statistics” would be a part of the BSN program of study, I thought that I just needed to withdraw and be done with the pursuit of this dream. I’ve always needed to know the necessity or reason for any endeavour before I threw myself into it wholeheartedly. I couldn’t see the need for a statistics class as part of a nursing curriculum; and, even though the value of the application of statistics is evident; especially in the utilization of best care approaches that are steeped in evidence-based practices, I am still intimidated by statistics as part of a curriculum. I know that epidemiological statistics help in the prevention, treatment, and control of diseases within a population. I use what I term “simple statistics” daily as a member of a Risk Management Team that endeavours to decrease the occurrence of sentinel events and to promote safe and quality patient care.
