***** In ICU patients who are 65 or older, how does interrupted
sleep (awakened one time or more in four hours) as compared to
uninterrupted sleep influence the patient’s cognitive ability over
5 days?
1. Provide a brief description of the topic and background
information.
2. Explain the significance of the topic to nursing practice.
3. Provide 3 clearly stated PICOT questions.

10) The number of patients admitted per day to a large
hospital's ICU follows a skewed right distribution with a mean of
20 and a standard deviation of 8. Suppose a sample of 100 days was
collected over the past year and the average number of patients
admitted per day was calculated.
a) Which of the following statements about the sampling
distribution of the sample mean is correct?
-It is a skewed right distribution with a mean of 20 and...
Simulated situation:
The census of patients confined to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) has increased in the last month, thus increasing the number of admissions. As a consequence, the use of medical surgical supplies has risen. Consider cost and quality factors when proposing your budget estimate.
Exercise: Answer the following questions broadly. (Minimum 200 words)
As a group leader, what would you recommend to your followers to stay within budget to control spending at ICU? (Minimum (3) three recommendations
How would you descripte an approach for evaluating,
prioritizing, and resourcing quality improvement initiatives. Then,
explain how your health services organization, or one with which
you are familiar, decides which quality improvement initiatives are
resourced and implemented. Be specific and provide examples.
The number of patients needing admission each day to a hospital
intensive care unit (ICU) has a Poisson distribution with a mean of
5.3. (a) Why might it be reasonable to expect that daily numbers of
patients would have a Poisson distribution rather than any other
distribution? (b) Assuming that patients only stay in the ICU for
one day, what is the probability that an 8-bedded ICU will have to
turn patients away on any particular day? (c) How many...

How
do you think the safety of patients, other than COVID-19 patients,
is affected by the current pandemic? Support your answer with
examples and methods to provide better patient care.
You are meeting with your healthcare team to round in the ICU
and the discussion is started regarding utilization of medications
to treat COVID-19 patients. The attending physician asks if you
could review the literature regarding azithromycin and
chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine as these have been studied in the
literature. Please provide a review regarding the safety and
efficacy of these agents in the treatment of COVID-19.
(Cranberries) International Cranberry Uncooperative (ICU) is a
competitor to the National Cranberry Cooperative (NCC). At ICU,
barrels of cranberries arrive on trucks at a rate of 150 barrels
per hour and are processed continuously at a rate of 100 barrels
per hour. Trucks arrive at a uniform rate over eight hours, from
6:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Assume the trucks are sufficiently small
so that the delivery of cranberries can be treated as a continuous
inflow. The first truck arrives...
