Select a funeral home in your area and obtain permission from the director to interview an employee about the costs, concerns, and arrangements that have to be made when making funeral arrangements in advance of a person's death. (Most directors will be willing to give you copy of their typical itemized cost sheet.) Make an appointment with that person, being sure to let him or her know that this is research for a paper rather than an actual pre-arrangement. Here are some questions you might want to consider:

• What is the cost of the average funeral at this time?
• What is your best prediction for the cost of a funeral five years from now? Ten years from now?
• Are there any costs that cannot be paid in advance?
• What happens to the money you pay in advance? How is it stored, used, etc.?
• What does "irrevocable trust" mean?
• What advantages or disadvantages are inherent in advanced payment?
• Should turn in a detailed summary of your questions and the answers to those questions, as well as your conclusions about the wisdom and/or difficulties of making arrangements in advance.

This does in fact have all of the needed information to complete this question. Thanks

Nutritional assessment of the nutrition process, based on data derived from the interview with Kathy and Samantha's doctor's records. Samantha is a healthy eight-month-old newborn who lives with her mother Kathy, her father, and her older sister, who is almost three years old. Both parents currently work full-time, so they take girls to day care around the clock. Kathy breastfed Samantha before returning to work and booked a contribution of frozen breast milk. Now he breastfeeds her twice a day, early in the morning and before Samantha falls asleep. In the nursery, the girl drinks breast milk with a bottle. The nursery team reports that the girl shows good behavior. However, when Kathy picks her up after work, Samantha wishes they would carry her and not sit in her high chair or the one she uses to eat. If they don't load it, it cries. Samantha's sister wants to be fed as soon as she gets home. Kathy has a lot to do at home after work, making it difficult for her to carry Samantha around at such a busy time. Kathy thinks Samantha is hungry and that she would be less irritable if she fed him dinner.

1.What signals does Samantha send to demonstrate that she requires a more comfortable position than to be hungry?

2. How could Kathy change her routine to pay more attention to Samantha and cover the needs of your older daughter?

3. At eight months, is Samantha too small to overfeed on need emotional?

4. Should Kathy stop breastfeeding or continue breastfeeding to improve feeding Samantha?

Discuss the interview format of adults/older adults with psychiatric disorder. Compare and contrast the interview format of adults/older adults and pediatrics with psychiatric disorder.

What are the three stages of every interview, and which is the most important? Which stage do you feel you excel at during the interview process?

Create 7-10 job interview questions that you might be asked by an interviewer during an interview for the job that you found with your job advertisement/announcement in the previous assignment.

Note: they should be OPEN ENDED questions! You dont need to 'practice' questions that have just one or a few word answers. :-)

After creating your questions, you should then write out thoughtful in-depth answers to the questions as if you were replying to them aloud in an interview. This 'interview' should clearly last longer than just a few minutes. So, give details and support!

COUNTRY = FINLAND

These answers may be harder to find, but do the best you can.

• Try to find an organization chart of your country’s executive branch agencies. Link or post or paste the chart for an overview of the bureaucracy.
• In your assigned country, to whom are civil servants (bureaucrats) accountable?
• In the U.S., the bureaucracy is the arm of government that implements and regulates policies decided on by elected officials. In theory, the administrative branch in the U.S. is professional (other than top leadership), not political. How does this work in your country? In other words, are civil service appointments political or based on merit or a combination of both?
• How are civil servants trained? How are they promoted?
• How is success of the bureaucracy measured?

In your country, do citizens go to the bureaucracy for individual help or is the bureaucracy “neutral,” carrying out orders in a neutral manner? Do you think this reflects the type of government that you identified?
