    I agree that both styles have their benefits. Combined, they can paint a pretty well-rounded picture. I am partial to quantitative because of the picture it paints as a whole. It’s pretty straight forward and you can look at a graph and process a large amount of data at one time.

    I like how you described each method. It really shows how to apply either style in order to capture the data you are researching. Personally, I like the overall visual of a graph and seeing all of the data in a measurable form.

    There are so many considerations with regard to this subject and a deeply personal decision for a parent. There are benefits to research and studies but personally, it would be after a great deal of research myself and consideration as well as conversations with my child to decide if it’s something we would consent to.

    I completely agree about consent. While it’s important for the parent to consent, the child consenting is equally if not more important. The type of research and study being done are huge factors as well as the age of the child and whether or not it’s something intrusive. There are a lot of considerations for something like this and it’s not always an easy decision to make.

    Balance is key! I am also one of those people who can be distracted at times and lose focus. We each know what our intention is when using the internet and what our limitations are. Navigating within those lines is up to each of us to accomplish the goal.

    I do agree that it gives you the opportunity to make connections much more quickly and easily. I also agree that how you approach utilizing the internet is a personal experience. If you are someone who is easily distracted, it’s important not to lose focus on what you are looking to accomplish and stay the course.

    Time is often not on our side when working in healthcare so delay by poor communication can be really frustrating, especially where it’s often avoidable. I can be a little “wordy” as I said in my discussion board post so this will definitely be top of mind for me as we progress in this program!

    What you say about the need for clear communication to avoid med errors is so true. What comes to mind is a titrating order. It can lead to delays in the resident getting their medication because of the need for clarification.

    Thank you for sharing, Bea. I appreciate your standpoint and see both sides of the coin. I think there is benefit to some of these approaches but with very stringent checks and balances to ensure it is utilized in an ethical manner.

    Hi Fatuma, I appreciate your perspective on this subject and respect your religious beliefs. You reinforce how deeply personal it is each individual and what a dynamic conversation it is. I agree with Grace that maintaining ethical standards is paramount to any long-term success.

    Hi Swami! I would agree that you embody a narrative writing style. You are a wonderful storyteller, and I think learning more about the other writing styles will only enhance what you write.

    Hi Charlotte! I am also a mom of 4 kids aged 14-26, and a grandma! It took me a while to get here as well but I’m glad to be in it with you! It makes it a little easier knowing we aren’t alone and have awesome support systems backing us up. I admire your goal to continue on with your education to get your RN. You’ve got this!
