What are the levels of measurement in nursing research?

Answer 1

There are four levels of measurements:

1) Nominal- these are categorized data that are not ordered such as gender, ethnicity, religion, etc.

2) Ordinal-these are categorized data that are ordered such as pain scale, small medium large amounts, first second third place, etc

3) Interval- this is the continuous quantified data with no true zero such as height, or temperature, etc

4) Ratio-this is the continuous data with a true zero such as the body weight, heart rate, etc.
