Presentation On Graphs

The document discusses different types of graphs used to present numerical and statistical data visually. It defines graphs as diagrams that show the relationship between two variables measured along perpendicular axes. The main types discussed are bar graphs, line graphs, pie charts, histograms, and pictographs. Bar graphs can be simple, multiple, or proportional. Line graphs show changes over time. Pie charts represent percentages. The document outlines characteristics, purposes, and examples of different graph types, and provides examples of how graphs are used in nursing to understand trends in patient data over time.

INTRODUCTION
Graphs are illustrations to present
numerical and statistical data using using
dots, lines, shapes, colours and pictures.
Graphical presentation is a visual art based
on the use of visual symbolic and visual-
abstract forms. They depict numerical,
quantitative relationship or statistical data
represented in the form of visual symbols.
DEFINITION
Graphs are diagrams which shows the relation between
variable quantities, typically of two variables, each
measured along one pair of axes at right angles.
The common types of graphs are bar graph, line graph,
pictorial graphs, histograms, pie graph and cumulative
frequency graph.
CHARACTERIS • They must have a title and

TICS OF index.
• The proportion between

GRAPHS width and height should be


balanced.
• The selection of scale must be
appropriate.
• Footnotes may be included
wherever needed.
• Principle of simplicity must
be kept in mind.
• Neatness and cleanliness in
the construction of graphs
must be ensured.
PURPOSE
OF • Graphs are one of the most convincing
and appealing ways in which statistical

GRAPHS
results may be presented.
• They give a bird's eye view of the
entire information.
• They are attractive to the eye.
• They have a great memorizing effect
on the learners.
• They facilitate comparision of data
relating to different periods of time.

Line Graph
Definition: A graph that shows data in the form of
line.

Advantages:
• Shows change over time
• Helps your see trends

Disadvantages:
• Not easy to compare different categories of data
Pictorial Graph
Definition: Pictures are used to illustrate any idea, observation or measurement,
graphically.
Pictograph
Uses of graph in Nursing
• Graphs make data easier to understand and only key information is presented, which
often has been collected from voluminous amounts of medical or scientific data.

• A line graph is useful for showing trends or changes over a period of time.

• It shows relationship between two parameters.

• (example: The change in the patient's temperature during a day or week; Patient's body
weight related to time periods; the patients Blood Pressure during the day)
