In the procure to pay process, the responsibility for creating a requisition and the responsibility for creating a purchase orders are separated so that typically, one person is not permitted to do both. Why is this separation a good business practice?

Typically, department managers have control over spending within the limits of their departmental budgets. There are signing limits set however, as to expense amounts a manager can approve; expenses over that approval limit have to be authorized by a more senior manager in the reporting line (i.e., “up the food chain”). Suppose for instance, a department manager has a budget limit for total supplies expense set at $20,000 for the year, and a signing limit of $1,000 on any given purchase. That manager will therefore be able to approve an individual requisition for $300 (since it is less than $1,000), as long as the total spending is within the overall budget limit of $20,000. If a requisition is worth $1,500 however, then the managers boss, or someone more senior up the reporting line would have to approve the requisition before the requisition could be passed on to the Purchasing department for further processing.

Some have suggested that the Purchasing department should be involved in the approval process, such that if a department is over-spending, the Purchasing department should be able to refuse to act on the requisition. Explain why this approach is not a good idea. Note that the answer is not in the textbook — you’ll have to think your way through this one.

To receive credit, your posting must be at least 75 words, in clear, well-written English, and must effectively address the question asked.

In the procure to pay process, the responsibility for creating a requisition and the responsibility for creating a purchase orders are separated so that typically, one person is not permitted to do both. Why is this separation a good business practice?

Prior to beginning work on this assignment visit the PubMed Central (Links to an external site.) web page. You may also consider reviewing the PubMed Central Quick Start Guide (Links to an external site.) and PubMed Tutorials (Links to an external site.) to help you navigate the resource more effectively.

For your assignment this week, you will complete an additional step on your selected topic for the final project. This week you will gather another five scholarly sources that relate to the behavioral aspects of your topic. Please note that the topic you selected will determine what questions you will address from the two options listed below.

Option A: If you have selected a brain-based disorder,

Describe the symptoms of the disorder and how those symptoms are related to the brain structures that are involved.

Option B: If you have selected a brain process,

Discuss how the brain processes information to reach the behavior in question.

Explain which part of the brain you would scan. What are the functions of that part of the brain and how does it fit in your research question.

Title of proposal: for this section, create a title that explains something important about your proposed research study. For example, the title of the assignment is “Electric Brain” because we are studying how the brain generates and uses electricity. We are also studying how that electricity is measured by imaging tools.

Research Question: Have you ever wondered if thinking about ice cream activates a different part of the brain than when you eat it? Researchers develop questions about something that they notice in their world. They wonder about certain phenomenon or patterns. Research questions come from that wonder. So, write down some things that you have wondered about that relates to your brain and action.

Then, go to the University library and use any of the American Psychological Association journals to read about studies that relate to the brain and thinking or behaving. You might read about how autistic children’s brains work in learning or wonder about memory problems in clients diagnosed with alcoholism. Be sure that your studies use some form of brain imaging. Find two for this Assignment and make note of the references.

Finally, write one main research question that is specific and explain (in the same section) what interests you about this question.

Part of the brain studied: In this area, explain which part of the brain you would scan (to make an image). What are the functions of that part of the brain and how does it fit in your research question. For example, if we use the example of the difference between thinking about and eating ice cream, I would scan the olfactory (smell), gustatory (taste), temporal lobe (long-term memory), and prefrontal cortex (advanced thinking skills)

Explain each area and how they function so that it is clear how these parts of the brain fit with the research question.

Write a professional report of your findings for the county health department. There are two tasks to this assessment, first to complete the epidemiology table (EPI-table) and second, to write a professional report

/in /by

Pre-assessment: Eight pre-assessment questions are provided to guide your preparation for the assessment. We strongly encourage you to review the learning resources and PowerPoint suggested in the learning path. Assessment directions: For this assessment, consider yourself a public/community health nurse tasked with helping the county health department choose health priorities. First, you will conduct a health assessment of a community (referred to as an EPI-Table or Epidemiological Table). . We have provided the data needed for four counties surrounding the UW-Milwaukee College of Nursing. To use the data that we have provided, you should select one community from the following: Milwaukee County, Washington County, Racine County or Kenosha County to use the data we have provided. If you wish to provide data for a different county near your home or workplace, you will need to find that data on your own as the epidemiology table is required before completing the Community Health Assessment Paper.
Write a professional report of your findings for the county health department. There are two tasks to this assessment, first to complete the epidemiology table (EPI-table) and second, to write a professional report. You will attach your “EPI-table” as appendix 1 (after your reference list) to your report. You MUST download one of the four templates provided and type your information into the template. (Note – As noted above, if you wish to use a different county than one that is provided, you will need to fill in the epidemiological report data for that county).
