Demonstrate your understanding of the concept of measurement in the healthcare field by populating the concept/construct table as shown.
From the healthcare services setting, provide one example for each concept and each construct that you are interested in measuring. Align these examples with their corresponding variables, operational definitions, data categories (ordinal, nominal, etc.), and measures.
Note: Depending on the concept and construct example that you pick, you may or may not require multiple variables. If the concept/construct requires more than three variables, you will need to add additional rows to accommodate the number of variables required.
