Your patient C.S is 78 years old. Admitted to the nursing home you work at, with a diagnosis of dehydration. C.S., has been ordered to increase her oral fluid intake to 2500cc per day. When offering her a glass of water, she pushes away your hand and says “I hate water and I don’t drink it much”. You note that after one and a half days she has dry mucous membranes and poor skin turgor.

Questions:

  1. What should your assessment be on this patient? Explain in detail.
  2. After completing your assessment, what should your next step be? Be specific.

3.Write 3 complete nursing diagnosis from above information. Include all 3 sections (NANDA, Related to (R/T) & Evidence based practice (EBP) & include 2 nursing interventions for each nursing diagnosis.

Ms. Cohen is hospitalized for repair of a fractured hip after a fall at home. She requires intravenous (IV) antibiotics after surgery. Shortly after the first dose she became restless and started picking at her IV line and frequently tried to get out of bed. Several restraint alternatives were attempted; but, because of her restlessness, she was successful at pulling out her IV line and getting out of bed. It becomes necessary to restrain Ms. Cohen.

  1. You know that a health care provider’s order is required for the restraint. What are essential components of the restraint order?
  2. Which assessments do you need to perform on Ms. Cohen while she is restrained?
  3. The physician orders a belt restraint. Your assessment of Ms. Cohen the next day reveals that during the day she is alert and pleasantly confused but not attempting to get out of bed. Do you continue use of the restraint? Explain.

Before writing your Discussion Board thread, take the Multiple Intelligences Test found in the Module 5 “Reading & Study” folder. Do you think “multiple intelligences” is a valid construct?  In other words, do multiple intelligences exist?

Before writing your Discussion Board thread, take the Multiple Intelligences Test found in the Module 5 “Reading & Study” folder.

Once you have the results of the test, you can address the following discussion board prompts with your own personal results in mind.

  1. Do you think “multiple intelligences” is a valid construct?  In other words, do multiple intelligences exist?  (Be sure to include connections to the textbook/research when building your argument.)
  2. Do you think that the test you took in Module 5 gave a valid picture of your intellectual abilities?  In other words, do you think that test accurately measured what it is supposed to measure?
  3. Provide at least one recommendation about how the developers of this multiple intelligences test could demonstrate evidence for the validity of the test.  Your recommendation should focus on one of the types of validity described in the textbook [i.e., content-related validity, predictive validity, concurrent validity, or construct validity (using convergent or discriminant evidence)].
  4. Finally, make a Biblical argument either for or against the existence of multiple intelligences.  Whichever stance you take, be sure to back it up with meaningful and relevant scripture references.

Choose a character from a book, television show, or movie who is portrayed as suffering from a psychological disorder. Describe your character and his or her behaviors and feelings

/in /by

Choose a character from a book, television show, or movie who is portrayed as suffering from a psychological disorder. (Examples: My Mad Fat Diary, The Hunger Games series, Forest Gump, Rain Man).

Describe your character and his or her behaviors and feelings for each of the D’s described below. Are variations in those behaviors and feelings significant enough to constitute a psychological disorder, in your opinion?

Note that many professionals utilize the four D’s (Davis, 2009) to determine abnormality:

Deviance: Are the behaviors/feelings deviant?

Dysfunction: Do the behaviors/feelings interfere with the individual’s ability to function in daily life?

Distress: Does the individual experience distress due to the behaviors/feelings?

Danger: Are the behaviors/feelings harmful to the individual or those around him/her?

(Some consider a fifth “D,” Duration.).

Choose a fitting diagnosis, referencing the DSM-5.

Predict possible treatment options for this particular disorder, based on your resources.

Explain how cultural and social diversity might influence perception and experience of this disorder.

To fully demonstrate content knowledge and critical thinking, the Motivation, Emotions, and Health, and Psychological Disorders and Therapies discussion must;

Appraise course concepts explicitly, applying them to your personal experiences/observations, and cite the required readings as appropriate.

Be thorough and specific, structuring your work intentionally (with an introductory and concluding sentence or two), providing clear context, and concisely and precisely explaining relevant course concepts.

Use personal examples to illustrate as appropriate, but do be sure to provide an objective analysis too, referencing required materials and using additional credible sources as needed to support your insight. For more, see Summary vs. Analysis (Links to an external site.).

Use your own Academic Voice (Links to an external site.) and apply in-text citations appropriately throughout your post. For more, see APA: Citing Within Your Paper (Links to an external site.).

Identify the determinants of the price elasticity of demand. Explain each one. Determine whether each of the following items is elastic or inelastic: bottled water, gourmet coffee, Apple cell phones, and gasoline

/in /by

Read Chapter 4 to answer the questions below. Identify the determinants of the price elasticity of demand. Explain each one. Determine whether each of the following items is elastic or inelastic: bottled water, gourmet coffee, Apple cell phones, and gasoline. Explain your reasoning. Distinguish between a necessity and a luxury. How are the price elasticity of demand and total revenue related? Why is the price elasticity of demand important to pricing? Your initial post should be a minimum of 280 words. But, for the discussion questions, I require that you include the section number where you found your answers. For example: (Amacher & Pate, 2019, section 2.3). Please be thorough when answering each question.

Describe some differences between a positive externality and a negative externality. Provide one example of a positive externality and a negative externality, respectively. Explain your reasoning.

Read Chapters 6 & 7 to answer the following questions. Remeber to answer the questions thoroughly. Externalities are costs or benefits associated with consumption or production that are not incurred by the consumer or producer and are therefore not reflected in market prices. The cost or benefit of an externality remains external when falling to parties other than the buyer or seller.
Respond to the following:
Describe some differences between a positive externality and a negative externality.
Provide one example of a positive externality and a negative externality, respectively. Explain your reasoning.
How could you solve your examples of externalities to attain market efficiency?
Does the government need to intervene with externalities to effect market efficiency?

How important is technology in visualizing abstract concepts? Why and how does visualization make learning a mathematics concept more interesting?

/in /by

Visualization is very useful in helping students understand abstract concepts. Functions are abstract but lend themselves to practical application. Use the questions to guide an original response.

When did you have to visualize an abstract concept? What path did you take, and what were the results?

How important is technology in visualizing abstract concepts? Why and how does visualization make learning a mathematics concept more interesting?

Discuss software programs or packages you use to demonstrate difficult mathematical concepts. Describe one example of the software, and provide a link for your classmates.

Despite the abstract nature of cubic functions, they have practical applications. Provide and describe one application.

Evaluate or review a “classic” album. Demonstrate a clear understanding of the world into which the album was released and the impact it had on music of the time

/in /by

Evaluate or review a “classic” album, though for these purposes we’ll consider anything from 2010 or earlier to be “classic.”

As far as models go, I recommend spending a lot of time reading Pitchfork’s Sunday Review series, where they go back to review classic albums otherwise not in their catalog (search Pitchfork Sunday Review for the homepage, or see our Forum 2 for the link). You’ll find a wide range of approaches and styles, but your goal is to create something that could reasonably fit within this series.

In your review, be sure to do the things that successful reviews do (we will discuss this in the discussion forums). Consider the music within the artist’s discography; how the music relates to various genres and sub-genres; the various contexts into which the music was released; the lyrics; the instrumentation; the production; and anything related to the particular form (song, songs, album, video, concert) of the work you’re analyzing.

Because this is a review of a classic album, be sure to demonstrate a clear understanding of the world into which the album was released and the impact it had on music of the time. Do secondary research to provide you with information but also to understand the critical consensus about and commercial response to the album. Cite that research appropriately, though a particular number of sources is not required for this project.

Readers believe review-writers not because they agree with their opinions on the album – we believe them because their opinions are grounded in insights and analysis that go beyond surface-level liking or disliking.

As with any piece of web writing, in addition to doing the things listed in the paragraph above, it must be entertaining and insightful.

 

Identify the ethical dilemma faced for each one when considering termination. Under which paradigm would you most likely be operating under if you terminated Sue? Or Bob? Or Ed?

/in /by

Several examples of laws resulting in changes in business and in society’s ethical norms. Provide three examples and explain how each has changed societal ethics norms.

In class we discussed the narrative from Week 1 where as a manager you are required to reduce staff immediately by one. 

  • Bob– New Hire – Promises made when hired that he would be training as your backup. After six months his performance is considered average, but he has potential.
  • Sue– Seniority – She has been with the company ten years. Her performance is consistent (plateaued), but average. She is also a single parent.
  • Ed– Has been with the company for three years and is your top performer (twice the productivity of Bob or Sue. However, the rumor going around the office is that Ed has just received a large inheritance from a rich uncle.

 

  1. Identify the ethical dilemma faced for each one when considering termination.
  2. Under which paradigm would you most likely be operating under if you terminated Sue? Or Bob? Or Ed?

Select any case from your textbook and conduct the RESOLVEDD method of decision making. Include several alternative actions and justify the action that you selected. Include the ethical paradigm that you used to solve the ethical dilemma.
