Inductive Reasoning Used In Healthcare

Mathematics is a science that helps us recognize, classify, and explore the hidden things of our universe(McGinnis). Focusing on areas as different as planetary motion, animal markings, shapes of viruses, or figure skaters, and the very origin of our universe. Mathematics is the most powerful tool available for revealing the underlying structure of our world(McGinnis). Thanks to mathematics, mathematicians have been able to discover many things such as the uncontrolled storm of noise in the nerve cells of the brain during an epileptic seizure(McGinnis). Math plays a vital role in the healthcare system. Doctors and nurses utilize math when they write prescriptions or administer medications. Also, Medical professionals use math when drawing

Inductive reasoning is the process of arriving at general conclusions based on observations of specific examples(McGinnis). Inductive reasoning is used in the healthcare system to generate a possible hypothesis or educated guesses about a certain patient or medication. An example of Inductive reasoning would be “malaria causes a fever in all cases of this disease. A physician observes a patient with malaria, then the physician concludes with absolute certainty that the patient had, has, or will develop fever during his illness” (Kyriacou). However, this statement is not valid because even if a physician observes a patient with fever, the physician cannot conclude with certainty that the patient has malaria because there are many other diseases that cause fever. Even if the physician worked in Africa and had previously identified several consecutive cases of malaria in patients with fever, the physician could not be certain that the next patient with fever would have malaria

From the beginning when a patient is presented during his medical treatment until it ends. This is because the services offered to patients incur costs. The treatment that is practiced is according to the condition of the patient. This means that the doses that are administered are calculated according to the weight, age, among others of the patient. It is also necessary to mention quantity of medication and the time for which it is going to be prolonged. In addition to these calculations are added medical insurance covers that the patients have, which part covers the medical insurance and which part is the responsibility of the patient. If these costs exceed the patient's economic status, a payment plan is established, which will be subject to the amount and dates of payment until it covers the costs. This means that knowing the mathematical concepts is extremely important, especially in the health system. In conclusion, without a vast knowledge of mathematical concepts the health system could not work. It is vital to know the basic mathematical concepts to make a correct calculation and provide the best healthcare possible to each
