1-excellent point you brought about with mother moving into daughters home and there being roll confusion as to who will be the leader. Clear communication and boundaries need to be in place within this family. This family will need to learn their remaining and new roles in order to properly function. The grandmother should still have decision making roles when it comes to some aspects of her personal life. This will give her a sense of control and keep her active in her own care. Decisions rega the childre, their roles and discipline should be between the husband and wife. 

2-You mention goals.  This is crucial.  I have seen many families make decisions that they would not have made if they fully understood the impact of those decisions.  “If only we had known that it would be like this.”.  Of course, not all situations can be clearly defined or predicted, but reviewing in depth the available information and helping families to understand the process and what to expect is critical to good family function through difficult health situations.

3-Anticipatory strategies should be incorporated into family education.  These range from installing equipment (such as a handle in the shower) that may help Ms. Jones with activities of daily living to a living will and an advanced directive for medical care.  Anticipatory strategies tie in to the risk factor assessment from last week.  What is the family at risk for and what could be implemented to prevent the identified problem from occurring?

In most organizations, people fancy statistic packages to perform numerous statistical functions. It is important to acknowledge that MS Excel can perform thousands of statistical tests as well as analysis (Lawrence, Klimberg & Lawrence, 2009). From experience, the best way to apply MS Excel includes taking note of detailed procedures. The first point involves making sure that the data analysis tool pack is installed in the Excel window. Once installed, a data analysis icon and link should appear at the far right of the tool bar (Nelson, 2014). This will enable identification of statistical functions. Actual application on statistical analysis marks the exact operation. The processes should be applied as indicated below;

• Click the data analysis command button to instruct Excel that you intend to calculate descriptive statistics.
• In the data analysis dialog box, highlight the ‘Descriptive Statics’ entry in the analysis and click the OK button.
• In the input section of the dialog box (descriptive statistics), identify the data to be described.
• In the out section of the dialog box (descriptive statistics), describe where and how Excel should produce the statistics.

Throughout the analysis, it is clear that Excel is a powerful tool that still remains largely under used. Accurate application of Excel leads to quality analysis (Remenyi, 2010). However, it is important to have good knowledge of the commands in varied windows.

Discussion Question Part 2

The data analysis conducted clearly shows the power of Excel. Therefore, I should consider learning more about the program. My intention is to apply Excel in future in other uses besides statistical analysis. It will be beneficial to me if I can apply the knowledge learned from statistical analysis. Understanding the descriptive statistics knowledge picked from this study will advance my knowledge on conducting studies, analyzing data, and presenting the results.
