A couple in their 50s is shopping in a mall where a health fair is set up. You are a nurse participating at a booth offering blood pressure readings. After much coaxing, the woman persuades her husband to have his blood pressure taken. You obtain a reading of 168/94 mm Hg. The wife reacts strongly, saying, “I told you that your lack of exercise and overeating would catch up with you one day. How am I going to manage being a widow at such an early age?” The husband responds by saying, “Don’t worry about me. I’m just as healthy as ever, and I plan to live until I’m 99 years old. I’m sure there’s something wrong with that machine.” Both of them turn to you. The wife says, “Tell him it’s not the machine and that he isn’t taking care of himself!”

   1.   Identify possible interpretations of an isolated blood pressure reading of 168/94 mm Hg. List factors that may have affected the reading’s accuracy.

   2.   Analyze the man’s reaction to this situation. Indicate the teaching points about blood pressure that may be appropriate at this time.

   3.   Outline potential ways to deal therapeutically with the wife’s anxiety, describing possible verbal and nonverbal interactions.

1. Joan Arnold, 67 years of age, is a female patient who underwent a coronary angiogram that diagnosed severe coronary artery disease in three of her coronary arteries, the left anterior descending, the left circumflex, and the right coronary artery. She is scheduled for a coronary artery bypass graft operation tomorrow. The nurse provides patient education for Mrs. Arnold and her husband, which includes watching a hospital video on the operation, the intensive care environment, what to expect after the surgery, the recovery period, and cardiac rehabilitation. The video also covered the importance of coughing and deep breathing, using an incentive spirometer, splinting, early ambulation, pain medication, and how to position oneself safely. The video stressed the importance of not rolling onto the side that the chest tube may be in place postoperatively. The video also discussed the preoperative preparation. The nurse also provided a booklet on the subject material. The nurse had a session with the patient and her husband to assess their understanding and to answer any questions they may have had. (Learning Objectives 6 to 8)

What specific preoperative nursing measures should the nurse review with the patient to help decrease the risk for postoperative complications?

Explain the role of the nurse when implementing the immediate preoperative preparation the day before surgery and the morning of the surgery?

1. DD is a monopolist firm. Its cost is C=100-5Q+Q2 and demand is P=55-2Q.

1. What price should DD set to maximize profit and what output does the firm produce? How much is the profit?
2. What would be output if DD acted like a perfect competitor and set MC=P ? What is the profit?
3. What is the deadweight loss from monopoly power in (a). Show graphically

Suppose the government, concerned about the high price of DD, sets a maximum price for DD’s product at k27. How does this affect price, quantity, consumer surplus and DD’s profit? What is the resulting deadweight loss? (5 marks
