You are a campaign manager for one of two presidential candidates. You are to design a mathematical strategy and procedure for your candidate to get a majority or greater of the electoral votes. For this project we are assuming that all states give all electoral votes from their state to the majority winner. These are the conditions of the campaign:
Define every state and their political affiliation into three categories: Democratic states
Republican states
Swing states
You will have to do your own research, because there is a right answer to all these categories based on history.

Define the total number of electoral votes.

What are most electoral votes needed to win?

Define the exact number of electoral votes in each state.

If you choose to be the democratic campaign manager, then you must base your strategy on prior knowledge that you will lose New York to the Republicans.

If you choose to be the republic campaign manager, then you must base your strategy on prior knowledge that you will lose Florida to the democrats.

Some things to think about:

Based on the mathematics what states will be extremely important for your candidate to win?

What cities and states will you visit the last 4 weeks of the election and why?

What is your mathematical strategy to limit the number of miles traveled by your candidate, but still cover the cities and states you need to win the majority?

For this assessment, consider that you work for a company that develops and sells case studies and case study analyses. Your company’s primary customers are colleges and universities wanting to use them within their courses, but your company also has customers using them for management training and development. Your manager asked you to conduct research and develop a case study analysis. She’s specifically interested in you doing the analysis on one of the companies from this list:

L. L. Bean.
Amazon.com.
Starbucks.
Intel.
Johnson and Johnson.
Research and write about the company that you have selected from the above list.

You and your manager discussed the high-level outline of your analysis and agreed you should address the following items. As the basis for your research, you can use any of the resources noted in this course, in the Capella library, and on the Internet:

Describe the organization’s business model (particularly related to their supply chain strategy) and provide a diagram or visual to explicitly describe that same business model.
Compare and contrast the organization’s supply chain strategy with another organization’s strategy.
Analyze the global challenges the organization faces in its supply chain and discuss strategies to minimize the challenges.
Explain and validate the importance of aggregate planning to the organization’s supply chain and its partners.
Analyze the role demand forecasting plays in the organization’s supply chain strategy.
Analyze how pricing promotions are used to change demand.
Based on the intended audience, your report should be well organized and written in clear, succinct language. Target 800–1000 words. Attributing sources in your professional and academic work supports your analysis and conclusions and demonstrates ethical behavior and academic honesty. Following APA rules for attributing sources provides consistency and ensures that readers can locate original sources if desired.

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.).
