Question: How would you as a healthcare executive or policymaker increase the efficiency of the U.S. healthcare system?

To answer this question, consider that there are reasons for the current high U.S. healthcare expenditures:

1. The USA does not regulate the price for healthcare services – using, in most cases, a free-market approach to determine prices.
2. The demographics of the U.S. population is skewed towards the elderly and age and cost increase together.
3. The U.S. population as a whole is a nation of people with multiple chronic diseases like HTN and DM and obesity. The consequences of several lifestyle choices contribute to the high cost of chronic care.
4. The U.S. healthcare system does not seem to work as well as other healthcare systems in the world.

Discuss the metrics below and describe what does the metric, in your own words, say about the U.S. Healthcare Delivery System? How could the COVID-19 pandemic affect the metric.

1. Hospital admissions for chronic conditions that are risk factors for COVID-19 are more frequent in the U.S. than in comparable countries

2. More cesarean sections are performed in the U.S. than in comparable countries

Explain in detail what you would do in each of the following situations.    You may have to do additional research in order to answer the questions appropriately.

A 10-day-old male infant weighing 950 g was scheduled for ligation of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). He was born at 29 weeks gestation and was intubated immediately after delivery because of respiratory distress. His condition improved over the following 4 days. However, on the fifth day of his life the respiratory distress worsened and a murmur was heard over his chest. Medical treatment for PDA was attempted unsuccessfully. His blood pressure was 60/40 mm Hg, heart rate 150 beats/minute. The laboratory data were as follows: white blood cells (WBCs), 17,000/?L; hemoglobin, 11 g/dL; hematocrit, 34%; urine specific gravity, 1.005; protein 1+; sugar 1+; serum calcium 6.0 mg/dL; blood glucose, 60 mg/dL; and arterial blood gases: pH, 7.30; PaCO2, 45 mm Hg, PaO2, 60 mm Hg on FIO2 50%; inspiratory pressure, 30/4 cm H2O; and ventilation rate, 25 breaths/minute.

READ THE CASE STUDY (this is for an aged care certificate)

Fred and Lillian are adults with developmental disabilities. They are married and live in a public housing unit. They wanted to have children, but Lillian discovered that she had been sterilised when she was 11 years of age. She remembers the operation but thought it was to remove her appendix, not her uterus and ovaries. They have two rabbits, Daisy and Ducky. The housing authority rules do not allow pets, but Fred and Lillian love their rabbits and are willing to take the risk. Their friend George lives with them. He also has a developmental disability, but he has more skills than Fred and Lillian; he can read and write, and he is good with money. George is tall and broad and quite strong. Lillian is afraid of him but Fred sees him as a role model and wants to be like him. Lately George has started blackmailing Lillian and Fred, threatening to report their rabbits to the housing authority if they do not give him half of their money each fortnight. He has told them that the housing authority will kill the rabbits and evict Fred and Lillian. Now George wants Fred to buy a car; Fred does not drive or have a licence, but George says he can drive the car to take Lillian shopping. Fred has been to a somewhat unethical used car dealer who has signed him up on a hire purchase agreement to buy an old car. Fred does not understand the contract but has signed it. The hire purchase company is now threatening to repossess the car as Fred cannot keep up the repayments. They tell him that after the car has been repossessed he must continue to pay the instalments until the debt is cleared or they will take him to court. George has told Lillian that he will hide the rabbits for her when the housing authorities come to inspect, if she agrees to have sex with him. Fred and Lillian have approached a disability advocacy support program for assistance.

I need to identify what type of study (experimental, correlational, quasi-experimental, or descriptive) each statement represents. I don't understand how to identify the keywords that indicate which type of research or how to determine the type of research just by one sentence.

1. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among stress, anxiety, and blood pressure in persons with a family history of strokes.

2. The purpose of the study was to compare the effects of a patient-teaching intervention with usual care in community clinic patients.

3. The purpose of the study was to compare the effect of different time exposures to sunlight on in vitro cultures of Acinetobacter.

-- I think 3 is Experimental. The keywords that lead me to identify that this was an experimental study were, Compare the Different Times of sun exposure to the Cultures. I came to this conclusion because the controlled independent variable, the time exposure to sunlight, was manipulated to identify the the length of time and the effects to the experimental group, the Acinetobacter cultures. The cultures were randomly selected for the amount of sun exposure time.

4. The purpose of the study was to explore the characteristics of health care organizations that high rates of employee satisfaction.

3. A patient goes to an urgent care center and complains of symptoms of the flu.

   1. What assessment parameters does the nurse use for determining the status of the patient’s immune function? Explain clearly.
