What are the similarities and differences between nightmares and sleep terrors?
Sleep and Sleep Disorders
Jessica is six years old. Her parents recently saw her pediatrician because they were concerned about the sleeping difficulties Jessica has been having. Often she would scream out loud in her sleep. Her parents would rush to her room and find her sitting upright in bed, panting heavily in a state of panic. Jessica would not respond to her parents words of consolation, and the next morning she would have no memory of the incident at all. Her parents were worried about the anxiety their daughter was experiencing and asked the pediatrician what they could do about her nightmares. The pediatrician explained Jessica was likely suffering from sleep terrors and carefully described what that meant.

Disorders of Thought, Emotion, and Memory
Ella is 88 years old and was living at home until very recently. Her children, who visited her regularly, noticed she was becoming more forgetful. At first, she mislaid objects, and then she began to forget her doctors appointments. With time, her personality changed and she became withdrawn. At home she would forget to turn off the stove or leave the kettle on until it boiled dry. After seeking advice from a gerontologist and social worker, Ellas children placed her in a nursing home with a unit equipped for patients with Alzheimer disease.

Name two different methods for evaluating evidence. Compare and contrast these two methods.
Topic 3 DQ 2
Two different methods for evaluating evidence include quantitative and qualitative techniques.
Quantitative techniques include methods that focus on objective measurements and analyzing numbers to draw conclusions about research subjects (Reference, 2020). This type of evaluation collects and measures data by using standard deviation, mean, average and other statistical parameters.
Qualitative is another form of research, but this does not involve numbers instead it collects information based on opinions and experiences. According to Aspers and Corte (2019), qualitative research is a process that improves the understanding of the scientific community by making new significant distinctions resulting in getting closer to the phenomenon studied. This means that the qualitative technique uses data collection without numerical measurable parameters.
Both are important in evaluating evidence, while quantitative gives actual numerical data, qualitative attempts to find an answer or a why to what is in question. Both qualitative and quantitative work great when used together. Qualitative does not necessarily need a large number while quantitative does collect from a larger number. The difference is that quantitative can be used to represent the general population, while qualitative can not.
When evaluating evidence, one wants to look at the article to identify the population in study and if it is appropriate for the research one is conducting. One also wants to look at the validity of the article for example if the methods and conclusions accurately reflect the end results. This includes looking at if the article is quantitative, qualitative, or both in nature.
Name two different methods for evaluating evidence. Compare and contrast these two methods.
