observe the simulated “Home Visit With Sallie Mae Fisher” video (http://lc.gcumedia.com/zwebassets/courseMaterialPages/nrs410v_vp01Alt.php).

Refer to “Sallie Mae Fisher’s Health History and Discharge Orders” for specifics related to the case study used to inform the assignment.

Using “Home Visit With Sallie Mae Fisher” and “Sallie Mae Fisher’s Health History and Discharge Orders,” complete the following components of this assignment:

Essay Portion

After viewing the home visit, write an essay of 500-750-words in which you do the following:

  1. Identify,      prioritize, and describe at least four problems.( problems identify are as follows

Mrs. Fisher’s number one problem is dehydration. In the video her vital signs are: Heart rate 58, blood pressure 90/56, respiratory rate 24 and temperature 97.8F (GCU, 2017). Her physical assessment reveals poor skin turgor, tenting, dry mucus membranes, hypoactive bowel sounds, no bowel movement for three days and a 14 pound weight loss in one week (GCU, 2017). She admits to “not having an appetite.” She is taking Lasix, a diuretic further contributing to her fluid loss.  All of these finding are consistent with dehydration. Dehydration can lead to a kidney injury, seizures and hypovolemic shock (Mayo Clinic, 2017). 

The next problem is an unsafe living environment. In in video we see a loose rug on the floor, prescriptions on the table and mail on the couch. This lack of organization and Mrs. Fisher’s age put at risk for a fall. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states, “One out of five falls in an older adult causes a serious injury such as broken bones or a head injury” (CDC, 2017).

Then we look at her lack of understanding surround her discharge. She is supposed to be on home oxygen but didn’t have it delivered because she thinks she will, “Be in the poor house” due to cost of her medications and medical supplies. The final problem is her depression. Mrs. Fisher explains her husband died. She now lives alone and, “doesn’t even care, is so lonesome and misses him so” (GCU, 2017). 

  1. Provide      substantiating evidence (assessment data) for each problem identified.
  2. Identify      and describe at least four medical and/or nursing interventions.
  3. Discuss      your rationale for the interventions identified.

Prepare this step of the assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Scripted Dialogue Portion

Utilizing the information learned from the home visit, health histories, and discharge orders, write a scripted dialogue in which you provide Sallie Mae with education that describes her problems and the interventions identified to improve her condition. Consider Sallie Mae’s physiological, psychosocial, educational, and spiritual needs when developing your dialogue.

Your dialogue should resemble a script. The following is an example of a few sentences from a scripted dialogue:

Nurse: “Good morning, Salle Mae, my name is ______ and I will be your nurse today. I understand you are experiencing problems with ________.”

APA format is not required for this part of the assignment, but solid academic writing is expected.

Refer to “Home Visit With Sallie Mae Fisher Grading Criteria.”

3) Suppose that you are following a group of children for the development of asthma over a one- year period. You identify 100 children on January 1st, screen them for asthma, and set up a monitoring program to check on their status on a monthly basis. Five children are considered prevalent cases because they were diagnosed with asthma before January 1st. Ten children develop asthma on March 1st and another ten children develop asthma on July 1st. Another 10 children who remain healthy were followed for six months and then were lost to follow-up. All of the remaining children did not develop asthma and were not lost to follow-up. Follow-up ended on December 31st.
· What was the prevalence of asthma on June 1st?
· What was the prevalence of asthma on September 1st?
· How many person-months of observation were accrued by this population?
· What was the incidence rate of asthma in this population for the one-year period?

I chose Ikea for my firm with global operations. My girlfriend loves it. Ikea originated in Sweden in the 1940s. The founder Invar had a vision to offer the best possible prices while keeping quality high. The low prices are due to a high turnover, direct delivery from the factory and low overhead. Ikea prides them self on low price, high quality, form, function and sustainability. Ikea is strengths are that it is able to offer low prices, modern designs and a large selection of products. Their weakness is that products can be time-consuming and that their products lack customization. Customers, like my girlfriend, love Ikea. Their products, like dishes and tables, are good quality for the price. They are cheaper because she puts it together, and the furniture does not get damaged because they come unassembled.

Final Paper You are to prepare a response to the assignment below. Your final paper should be double spaced, between five to seven pages in length, not counting the cover page or any appendices. You should use 12-point type font. You must cite relevant materials from readings and handouts. You should also present your own thoughts concerning this, using observations from your own experiences. You should document all material brought in from sources other than your own thinking using APA style. The final paper will ask students to select a theory discussed in class or readings and conduct a literature review of that chosen theory, as well as an analytical section which compares their current organization (work, student group, etc.) to the chosen theory. The final paper is worth a total of 315 points and is due as a Microsoft Word document The paper should include:
• A description of the theory • A review of the literature based on the chosen theory that includes at least eight references. The review of literature should start with a broad scope and narrow down to your specific organization. • Description of your organization and how the selected theory relates to the organization. Try to analyze your organization based on topics from class. Is your organization efficient? How are the mission or objectives communicated? Would another theory be more applicable for your organization? If so, how could you try to facilitate change in the organization? If you are concerned about anonymity, you do not have to use your organization’s name. • Use examples from the readings or outside material that supports your ideas.

1: Consider an economy where bid-ask spreads show up. A long spot position in asset D is the contract
(−Sa, D), Sa is called the ask price. A short spot position in asset D corresponds to (−Sb, D), Sb
is called the bid price. Sa ≥ Sb. In addition a risk-free discount bond is traded, where we get
(−ρb, 1K) and (−ρa, 1K). The lending rate is rl =
1
ρa
−1 while the borrowing rate is rb =
1
ρb
−1. For
forward contracts the forward-ask and forward-bid prices are Fa and Fb, respectively The payoffs are
(0, D − Fa1K) for long forward position and (0, −D + Fb1K) for a short forward position; Fa ≤ Fb.
Show that in an arbitrage-free market,
rl ≤ rb, ρb ≤ ρa, Sb ≤ ρaFa and ρbFb ≤ Sa have to hold.
2: Construct your own example with J = 3 assets and K = 3 states, where the market is incomplete.
One of the three assets is a risk-free discount bond. Provide an argument or proof that the market
is incomplete in your example.
Derive the set of the state-prices and state price densities.

3: We defined a pricing cash flow as a cash-flow x
∗ ∈ X where there exist constants ρ and q such that
q 6= 0 and
x(0) + ρE(x(1)) + qCov(x

(1), x(1)) = 0 for all x ∈ X .
Consider the case where a risk-free asset is traded.
Suppose that somebody claims that the pricing cash-flow x

is equal to the cash-flow x
E. What happens (or what can go wrong), what are the implications? [Consider a case where x
E is proportional
to x
Π and the case where this is not the case.]
4: Consider an economy where two risky assets are traded and a risk-free asset is traded. I.e. J = 3,
the number of states is finite.
Construct your own example: Obtain x
Π, x
E, RΠ, a beta pricing returns R∗ and the highest attainable Share-ratio. Choose your own numbers and obtain these objects. Describe how the cash-flows
and returns are obtained (at least the formulas). Provide a figure where you also include/describe
the efficiency frontier.

CASE STUDY:

Mr. X, a new (neophyte) nurse educator who is struggling with his own anxiety about: (1) performing as a faculty and (2) establishing his own professional identity as a teacher. He opened his class with a short video that ended at a crucial decision point. He invited the class to discuss the best nursing response to the situation and then to break into small groups and role play various reactions. After the role3-playing situation, he brought the class back together to discuss what worked, what did not, and why; what concepts they identified; and how they planned to use what they learned in the clinical area?

QUESTION:

What evidence is there that Mr. X managed the class?
