This assignment must be completed on a Word Document and submitted. All questions related to the case study must be answered completely in order to receive full credit. This case study assesses SLO #2: "On completion of this course, student will describe steps taken to prevent and manage medical emergencies in the dental office."

You have just seated your patient to have a tooth prepared for a crown. It has already been a hectic morning and the dentist has urged you to hurry up and get the patient ready for local anesthetic because he is running behind schedule and has a lunch meeting. To save a few steps, you decided to bring the patients chart in after you seated her. The dentist enters the operatory right behind you and administers local anesthetic, and you sit down to assist on the procedure.

Midway through the procedure, you notice the patient appears pale and sweaty, and becomes anxious in the chair. The patient seems confused and states she is dizzy. Answer the following questions in short paragraphs:

What type of medical distress is your patient most likely experiencing and how should you proceed?

Describe the preventive measures you skipped and how this impacted the patient, the procedure and the schedule for the morning.

Your patient has not responded well to the initial response and is now unconscious. What action must be taken by you and the entire office staff? What role will each staff member play in response to this emergency?

Provide a 200+ word response with direct reference to this post:

"For the inexperienced marketer, the "similar but different feature of culture creates an illusion of similarity which usually does not always exist." Discuss and give examples.

In marketing, it's important to consider cultural differences to effectively reach the intended consumer base. Something that works in the US might not always work in other countries. Someone who is new to marketing may believe that cultures are similar enough to use the same marketing plan, however, this is only an illusion.

An example of this is the Gerber baby food brand and their expansion to Africa. Though a cute baby on the packaging can help a company sell a lot of baby food in the US, this is not the case in Africa. Due to low literacy rates, African people rely on packaging to tell them exactly what's in the package. This gave them very negative thoughts on the Gerber brand as they associated a baby with the product inside the container (Publisher).

Another example of a failed marketing campaign was Coca-Cola's expansion into China. When Coca-Cola translated their brand name into Chinese languages, their phonetic translation said "bite the wax tadpole," (Morrison, T).

In both of these instances, it would have been beneficial for the companies to do some research on the markets that they were expanding into. Had they looked into the people and languages of these countries, they could have avoided costly marketing mistakes.

reply in 200 word

The reproductive system is interesting and exciting because a lot of the time when the word reproduction is mentioned we think of...babies! The life-producing aspect is so unique from other systems of the human body, but when childbirth is not the topic of conversation sometimes speaking about the reproductive system can be quite uncomfortable. Especially when Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI’s) are brought to one’s attention. Although uncomfortable, this topic is very important to discuss because the goal is to maintain a healthy reproductive system. One example of a case that I saw on Grey’s Anatomy is Human Papillomavirus (HPV). In episode 703 called “Superfreak”, a man named Jerry is treated by doctors for “Tree Man” disease. This disease is characterized by severe bark-like growths developing over large portions of the body. When I first saw this episode I thought this disease was just an exaggeration. However, there have been several real-life cases of “Tree Man”. This disease begins from a type of HPV and there are over 100 different types, each type having an effect on a specific body part. Focusing on the reproductive system, HPV 6 and 11 cause about 90% of genital warts and can increase the risk of a handful of cancer types (Marinis 1). According to Marinis, Treeman posses an immunodeficiency to the virus, leading to an increase in size of the growths as will as the rate at which they are producing (Marinis 1). People can mainly prevent this condition by not engaging in sexual activity where the genitals come into contact. Using forms of protection do not guarantee the infection won’t spread. One surprising fact from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is, “50% of all sexually active men and women will contract genital HPV at some point in their lives.” (CDC). Luckily, Gardasil has been approved as a vaccine to prevent types 6 and 11 as well as 16 and 18, which can cause cervical cancer (Marinis 1). Following the procedures we have practicing throughout the course, I identified the meaning of the term by breaking it down into the root word, and suffix. “Human” was self-explanatory but Papillo, the root word, means nipple or resembling a nipple. This part would be referring to the wart. The suffix is oma, meaning swelling or tumor. Virus is another word included in the full term but does not require a meaning break down. At first glance it would seem cancerous but HPV does not necessarily lead to cancer. HPV is a serious worry when the reproductive system is concerned but there are many other STI’s that require awareness as well.

1) Near the top of the page the word "safety" was used. How is that meant to be interpreted?

firm—cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and inventory. In managing cash and marketable securities, the primary concern should be for safety and liquidity—with secondary attention placed on maximizing profitability. As we move to accounts receivable and inventory, a stiffer profitability test must be met. The investment level should not be a result of happenstance or historical determination but must meet the same return-on-investment criteria applied to any decision. We may need to choose between a 20 percent increase in inventory and a new plant location or a major research program. We shall examine the decision techniques that are applied to the various forms of current assets.

2)what does this mean? "The second major reason for holding cash results from the practice of holding balances to compensate a bank for services provided rather than paying directly for those services."

There are several reasons for holding cash: for transactions balances, for compensating balances for banks, and for precautionary needs. The transactions motive involves the use of cash to pay for planned corporate expenses such as supplies, payrolls, and taxes, but also can include planned acquisitions of long-term fixed assets. The second major reason for holding cash results from the practice of holding balances to compensate a bank for services provided rather than paying directly for those services.

3) Precautionary cash balances are primarily used for what?

Holding cash for precautionary motives assumes management wants cash for emergency purposes when cash inflows are less than projected. Precautionary cash balances are more likely to be important in seasonal or cyclical industries where cash inflows are more uncertain. Firms with precautionary needs usually rely on untapped lines of bank credit. For most firms, the primary motive for holding cash is the transactions motive.
