Read the book written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning – Sonnets from the Portuguese.

She was a later part of the English Romantic movement, a second wave as it were. Her husband, Robert Browning , an equal to the great early English romantics,
was kind of too, but his style was tending towards the ways of modern poetry, indeed perhaps one of the progenitors of modern poetry.

He ‘saved’ her from a stern Victorian father and lifestyle, took her to Italy, where they pretty much lived out their lives together until she died. One day she came downstairs of her home there from her study into the kitchen and told him she had translated sonnets from Portuguese poets. They were of course really her sonnets written to him. A fascinating, much celebrated story.

this is a set of romantic poems that covers a historic love affair and details in what their love was all about. As good as the earlier Romantics on love, especially Keats and Shelley.

After reading this book look into your own insights, your own thinking in regards to what this book is about.

Write an explanatory academic essay after the reading.
Make sure you create a good thesis to go with your paper. Be detailed about your reading showing within your paper that you carefully read the entire book.

Contemplate the effectiveness of a nurse leader in a formal leadership role (charge nurse, director of nursing, nursing manager, administrator, or nursing instructor). This nurse could be a current manager, or a leader you identify from a past encounter. From the list, select “Nurse Executive Competencies.”
Write a three to four page paper (in addition to cover page and reference page) that analyzes the effectiveness of this leader in relation to all five of the AONE domains.
Include the following criteria when writing this paper:
Describe the nurse selected, including the title and scope of their current leadership role.
Analyze strengths and weaknesses of leader in all five domains (communication and relationship management, knowledge of health care environment, leadership, professionalism, and business skills). The “domain” is the large category, i.e. leadership.
Analyze how the leader you identified met or did not meet the specific characteristics listed under the domain. Make certain each of the specific characteristics under your chosen domain is addressed in your analysis. Use at least two competencies from each domain to describe the leadership of your chosen leader. The competency is the sub-category under a given domain, i.e. for leadership: systems thinking and change management. You may use any of the bullet points under the competency as part of your analysis.
Validate your analysis with personal experience and a minimum of three current scholarly sources. The AONE document should be cited and referenced. Your textbook, Leading and Managing in Nursing, may be considered as another scholarly source used for this assignment.

Does regular oral care reduce the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia in critically ill adult patients?

There are three case scenarios in this discussion board.Choose whichever one you’d like, for your initial post.

After you’ve chosen your case scenario -find TWO articles that help to answer the clinical question. In two paragraphs, discuss the evidence in relation to the question. Post the article link or in PDF form. What do the articles say? How do they help answer the question? How do they each answer the question? Are the articles conflicting or do they come to the same conclusion? What strengths/limitations are there? Use your textbook to support whether the evidence is strong or not. What remaining questions do you have?

The textbook used in class is
Hoffman, T., Bennet, S., & Del Mar, C. (2017). 3nd ed. Evidence-Based Practice: Across the health professions. Australia: Churchill Livingston Elsevier.

You are the nurse in charge of a busy intensive care unit at a regional general hospital. An infection control audit has identified a high number of patients diagnosed with ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) on your unit during the previous 12 months. You recently attended a critical care conference and heard a number of nurses talking about the role of oral care in preventing VAP and wonder whether an oral care policy would reduce the incidence of VAP in critically ill ventilated patients on your unit. You decide to search for research to answer your question with the aim of presenting the findings to the staff at the next unit meeting.

Does regular oral care reduce the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia in critically ill adult patients?

Allen would like to open a business to produce a software that he thinks would be well-received by the market. However, the investment needed to start a business is very high and Allen could barely cover it on his own. The software is very likely to be successful and generate profits, but it takes 2 years before profits are generated. Explain why the existence of a financial intermediary, like a bank, makes Allen’s investment more likely.
Banks are financial intermediaries engaged in maturity transformation. Explain what it means for banks to engage in maturity transformation and what are the risks associated with it for banks and depositors. How do banks make profits? [8 marks]
Now assume that Allen needs to borrow £300 to produce his software, which will generate £500 in two years. There are N savers in the economy, each endowed with £2 and each facing a 25% chance that there will be an emergency and they will need their £2 back. What is the minimum value of N such that a financial intermediary can solve the problem of getting money from savers to borrowers?

After the 2009 financial crisis, countries in the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision have agreed to raise the mandatory reserves for banks. Explain what happens to the money multiplier and the bank deposit multiplier if the reserve ratio is increased and what governments need to do if they wish to maintain the previous level of broad money 𝑀𝑀.

It has been reported that 1.7% of the work force will retire this year. Consider a random sample of 200 workers. What is the probability that more than three of them will retire this year? Use the Poisson approximation to the Binomial Distribution.

A recent marketing survey related consumers’ awareness of a new marketing campaign with their rating of the product. A sample of consumers rated their awareness as “LOW” or “HIGH” and rated the product as “POOR” or “GOOD”. In the survey they found that P(POOR|LOW)=0.25, P(HIGH|POOR)=0.8, P(GOOD|LOW)=0.75 and P(HIGH|GOOD)=0.4. Fill in the below table and create a marginal and joint probability table. Explain your answer. [8%]

b) Firms are increasingly asking applicants to submit to drug tests. 10% of all applicants are drug users. Suppose that drug tests that are used to identify whether a randomly chosen person is a drug user or not are accurate only 98% of the time. What is the probability that a person who has tested positive for drug use is not really a drug user? Explain your answer using a tree diagram. [8%]
c) A publisher wishes to evaluate the effectiveness of a marketing campaign that promotes the adoption of his textbook in Higher Education. To do this, seventy five percent of all potential professors were reached in a focused advertising program. Twenty eight percent of those contacted adopted the textbook while eight percent of the adoptions came from professors who did not receive the promotional material. Use Bayes’ Theorem to find the probability that a professor who adopts the textbook received the advertising material. Explain your answer. [7%]
d) There are five men and four women working on a project. To handle one particular aspect of the project, a sub-committee needs to be formed. In the interest of balance, it is decided that the sub-committee will consist of two men and two women. How many combinations of this sub-committee are possible? [9%]
