Two types of data exist, what are they?

  1. Empirical and theoretical

  2. Quantitative and descriptive

  3. Quantitative and qualitative

  4. Structured and unstructured

The correct answer is: Quantitative and qualitative

Quantitative and qualitative data are two common types of data used in healthcare and nursing informatics. Quantitative data involves measurable, numerical values that can be analyzed using statistical methods, providing information about the quantity or amount of something. On the other hand, qualitative data is descriptive and interprets non-numeric data, focusing on qualities, characteristics, and attributes. Empirical and theoretical refer more to the nature of the knowledge or evidence, rather than types of data. Structured and unstructured data refer to the organization and format of data, which is a different concept from the nature or qualities of the data itself.
