J.S. is a 58-year-old female brought to the emergency department (ED) at 7:00 AM by her husband because when she got up this morning she was light-headed, confused, and so weak that she could not dress herself. J.S.’s husband immediately drove her to the ED in her pajamas. She has a history of rheumatoid arthritis and had been taking prednisone (Deltasone) 10 mg daily. Subjective Data Husband states that J.S. hasn’t been feeling good, has been tired, and has had very little appetite Husband states he lost his job a couple of months ago and J.S. stopped taking her medication a couple of weeks ago because they could not afford it because they no longer had health insurance J.S. denies a headache or blurred vision Objective Data Physical Examination Temperature 98.7° F, pulse 94, respirations 20, blood pressure 100/60 No difficulty speaking Oriented to name only Poor skin turgor Dry mucous membranes Weakness in bilateral upper and lower extremities Diagnostic Studies Lab values Glucose 68 mg/dL Calcium 9.2 mg/dL Sodium 130.0 mEq/L Potassium 5.5 mEq/L HCO3 25.4 mEq/L Chloride 93.5 mEq/L Cortisol 4 mcg/dL (normal 8:00 am level is 5-23 mcg/dL) 1) What is the treatment and nursing care for J.S.’s adrenal insufficiency? 2) What teaching should J.S. receive regarding taking her prednisone? What else can you do to assist J.S. in being compliant with taking her medication?

What other assessment findings could confirm a diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency? What is the likely cause of J.S.’s adrenal insufficiency and why? Would J.S.’s adrenal insufficiency be considered to be from a primary cause (Addison’s disease) or a secondary cause? Why?

Consider two bonds: 1) a zero-coupon bond having a face value F and maturity 1 year; 2) a coupon bond with face value F, coupons C = 15 paid annually and maturity 3 years. Assume that the continuously compounded interest rate is 10%.
a) If F = 100, find at the end of which year the price of the second bond will be for the first time below 110?
b) If the price of the second bond is equal to 1.20 times the price of the first bond, find the (common) face value F?

An investor is committed to purchasing 100 shares of World Port Management stock in six months. She is worried the stock price will rise significantly over the next six months. The stock is at $45 and she buys a six-month call with a strike of $50 for $250. At expiration the stock is at $54. What is the net economic gain or loss on the entire stock/option portfolio?
Why in this exercise we have to take into consideration the $45 stock price if the investor buy the call option for 50 and will exercise since the price increase to 54?
I think the investor will make a gain of 54-50)*100-250= 150.
The part I dont undertand is the first part of the solution where it is calculated (45-54)*100?

The total price of purchasing a basket of goods in the United Kingdom over four years is: year 1=£840, year 2=£870, year 3=£900, and year 4=£970. Calculate two price indices, one using year 1 as the base year (set equal to 100) and the other using year 4 as the base year (set equal to 100). Round to the nearest 100th. Then, calculate the inflation rate between year1 and year 4 based on the first price index series. If you had used the other price index series, would you get a different inflation rate? If you are unsure, do the calculation and find out.

True/False
1. An automatic storage class variable is stored in the runtime stack
2. When a value parameter is passed to a function, the function called utilizes a copy of that parameter which is internal to the function called
3. When a reference parameter is passed to a function, the function called receives the memory address of that parameter and does not make a copy of it
4. Debug flags often control extra output to be printed conditionally
Multiple choice
1. An interactive debugger can be used to
a. set statements at which to pause the running program and examine critical variables
b. observe the flow of control as the program runs
c. set the values of critical variables during the actual run, and change them to look at what happens
d. all of the above
2. Debug flags in a program
a. should be removed before the next version is worked on, as they will annoy the future programmers
b. should be left in for the next version to be worked on, as they will help the new programmers to do future testing; they can be deactivated and activated as needed
c. should never be used as they cause extra lines in the code and that is not efficient
3. Black box testing is
a. when a programmer tests the code they write as they work on it
b. when a program development manager tests the code after it has been completely written
c. when a possible user of the code tests it by running and using it, without being able to see the actual code at all
d. when a program is released to the public and a very large group of users all test it at once in real life
4. When a function is called during program execution
a. an activation record is allocated on the runtime stack to store data needed by the function to execute
b. the compiler generates a stack frame in the source code
c. copies will be created of value parameters, and addresses will be stored for reference parameters, in the activation record for the function called
d. both a and c
5. Given the following for loop body, the value of count when the loop exits is
for (int count = 0; count < 10; count++) cout << count << endl;
a. 0 b. 9 c. 10 d. 11
6. The srand function (A) should be called before each call to rand( ) (B) should be used instead of rand( ) to generate truly random numbers(C) is unnecessary in C++ (D) can use the actual time from the hardware clockas a seed value
7. Which statement about the rand( ) function is false?(A) a call to rand( ) generates a value between INT_MIN and INT_MAX (B) the expression rand( ) % 5 always produces a value between 0 and 4 (C) the range of values generated by rand( ) is not always what is needed in a particular program (D) the prototype for rand( ) is in cstdlib

Question 2
[25] Jenny is the owner of The Bride Boutique. The boutique sells
well-known brands of wedding dresses and related products. Jenny
recently attended a short course on financial management for SMEs.
One of the topics covered in the programme was cash budgets. Jenny
wants to implement cash budgeting for the boutique and she prepared
a cash budget for the period April – June 2020. However, she is
still concerned that she may not have prepared the cash budget
correctly and requested your assistance to help her prepare the
cash budget. At a meeting between Jenny and yourself, she provided
you with the following information: Actual and forecasted sales and
purchases for the period February – June 2020
February
(Actual) March (Actual) April (Forecast) May (Forecast) June
(Forecast) Total sales R950 000 R1 050 000 R1 200 000 R1 350
000 R1 100 000 Total purchases R760 000 R892 500
R1 020 000 R945 000 R770 000
The boutique’s monthly cash sales are 60% of its total monthly
sales, the balance being credit sales. The boutique’s credit
terms to customers require that the customers settle their credit
purchases by paying 70% of their outstanding balances one month
after the month of purchase and the remaining balances two months
after the month of purchase. The boutique pays 30% of its monthly
purchases in cash and the rest of the monthly purchases are made on
credit. Jenny has to pay her suppliers 40% of the credit purchases
one month after the month of purchase and the outstanding balance
two months after the month of purchase. Jenny plans to replace
some of the display cabinets in July 2020. A friend of hers who
owns a jewellery shop will buy the cabinets from her for R15 000 in
June 2020 and will pay her in cash. The monthly wages
and salaries are R12 000 and Jenny intends to grant an 8% increase
in wages and salaries from May 2020. The monthly rent
for the boutique premises is R25 000 while the business insurance
is R2 500 per month. The insurer advised that an insurance premium
increase of 10% will take effect as from 1 June 2020. Consumables
average R1 500 per month and Jenny intends to spend R1 400, R2 500
and R1 500 on advertising in April, May, and June, respectively.
Jenny’s tax advisor informed her that the boutique will have to pay
tax of R46 000 to SARS in April 2020. Required: Prepare a cash
budget for The Bride Boutique for the period April – June 2020
using the format for a detailed cash budget as presented in the
prescribed textbook.
