Use the fоllоwing Cаse Study tо аnswer the next question: Ms. Atlаntic is a 64 year old Hispanic woman who is being admitted directly to the medical unit after visiting her health care provider (HCP) because of shortness of breath and increased swelling in her ankles and calves. She is being admitted with a diagnosis of chronic kidney failure (CKD). Ms. Atlantic states that her symptoms have become worse over the past 2 to 3 months and that she uses the bathroom less often and urinates in small amounts. Her medical history includes hypertension (30 years), coronary artery disease (18 years), type 2 diabetes (14 years), and appendectomy at age 29, cataract surgery to the left eye 3 years ago and right eye 2 years ago, and three pregnancies with healthy births. She also has gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is controlled with over the counter (OTC) famotidine 20 mg as needed. Ms. Atlantic vital signs values on admission were as follows: Blood pressure 163/95 mm/Hg Heart rate 87 beats/min O2 saturation 89% on room air Respiratory rate 29 breaths/min Temperature 97.8 F (36.6C) The patient is to be placed on oxygen at 2 L/min via nasal cannula. Admission laboratory tests for which patient samples are to e collected on the unit include serum electrolyte levels, kidney function test, complete blood count, and urinalysis. A 24 hour urine collection for the determination of creatinine clearance has been ordered.

Chаpter 4 оf I. Scоtt MаcKenzie's Humаn-Cоmputer Interaction: An Empirical Research Perspective and "Survey Research in HCI" by Hendrik Müller, Aaron Sedley, and Elizabeth Ferrall-Nunge together provide a strong overview of the use of surveys in human-computer interaction research. Imagine you are running a study where you want to evaluate users of virtual assistant systems (e.g. Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple Homepod, etc.) about their use habits. Because you want to evaluate a variety of tools, you opt for survey research. First, describe some data you will seek to gather from this survey. The data you gather must include at least one example each of nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio, and qualitative data. Make sure to identify which data are of each type. Then, describe who the study's population, sampling frame, sample, and respondents would be, and how each of those categories is derived from the previous one. Finally, describe at least two reasons your study's findings might not be generalizable, either due to issues of validity or due to potential biases. Remember, our goal is to assess your understanding of the relevant course concepts, not compare your answer to a pre-established list of correct answers. You may articulate your assumptions or add additional details necessary to allow you to demonstrate you understanding.
