Nursing Math Paper Help

What are the parameters? I am sure there was a formal assignment of some sort. I'll help if I can without doing the work for you.

Sorry about not giving more details. I was in a hurry when I wrote it. The project is designed to give experience in applying math to a real life workplace situation.

Content Requirements:

1) Describe project, why this topic/project...what relevance does it have to career.

2) What methods have you chosen for addressing this topic.

3) What did you find out? Describe end result and show in detail how you came to the conclusion. Summarize results in a visual way ie. chart, table, graph, etc.

4) What you learned and how will you use this knowledge in career?

The only examples we were given were English measurement to metric for medicine dosage or charting of patient vital signs.

I hope that makes a little more sense. For others in my class not nursing related, they could do something like leasing vs. buying a piece of real estate, which I wouldn't have a problem with, but for some reason I'm just stumped on how to go about this. Any help would be great...or just pointers atleast to lead me in the right direction.

Thanks so Much!

When I am given a writing assignment, I start brainstorming any and all ideas no matter how silly they may seem. So my first step would be to think of all the ways numbers are used even if they don't seem to make sense.

1. english to metric for medication dosage... this was given

2. regular time vs military time... still numbers right?

3. taking blood pressure and the numbers involved with that...

4. counting heart rate by using 10 seconds and multipyling that by 6...

5. iv fluids, measuring rate and drops over period of time..

6. think of charting and all the numbers related to charting... blood values, weight, height, bp, medications, dosages, times, heart rate...

7.. you get the idea. keep writing things down. then go back to any you may like and write some more ideas around that specific idea.

As you narrow the topic, before you know it you have a rough outline. Then you tighten further and begin writing formal sentences.

Hope this gets you started...
