Students, you will create a Disease Diary. The Disease Diary will contain 3 entries.One entry for each of the following systems: Cardiovascular System Lymphatic System Respiratory SystemInstructions and requirements for each entry (system): Name of disease & description a graphic (picture/illustration) of some aspect of the disease  causes & risk factors signs & symptoms diagnosis prevention prognosis treatment  How the disease affects the system? What was the most interesting part of the disease? What was something new you learned about the disease? Which aspect of the disease would you like to learn more about? Was there anything about the disease that confused you? If so, explain. You must use at least 10 bold terms from the chapter that pertains to your disease. Make sure those terms are in bold and underlined in each entry. For instance, if you are doing cellulitis, you would probably include the following bold terms from chapter 5 (integumentary system): epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous tissue, true skin, corium, integumentary, skin signs, anti-inflammatory agents. Please cite resources (at least 3) for each entry h

History/ Information Past medical history: Patient is apparently healthy woman who has been married for two years. She denies surgery or previous health problems except for occasional episodes of asthma that resolve with albuterol inhaler as needed. Her last inhaler use was 2 weeks ago. She denies smoking, recreational drug use or alcohol use. No known drug allergies. Familiar history: Mother: hypertension at age 40; hysterectomy at age 42 and diabetes at age 45 Father: myocardial infarction at age 58 Labor and Delivery This patient is a 35-year-old female gravida 1, para 0. She is 37 weeks and pregnant with twins. Her blood type is A negative. She has a history of occasional episodes of asthma and has used the inhaler three times this pregnancy. The patient was diagnosed with preeclampsia at 30 weeks gestation and is scheduled for an augmentation of labor. The patient had blood pressure reading reaching 150/95 and a trace urine protein noted. A urinary catheter was inserted following the epidural anesthesia and removed prior to the second stage of labor. The patient delivered twins (Twin A-boy and Twin B- girl) vaginally after 16 hours of labor, both cephalic presentations. Twin A weighed 7 pounds 3 ounces and Twin B weighed 7 pounds 6 ounces. She had an episiotomy with a third degree extension that was repaired. No other lacerations were indicated on the delivery record. Estimated blood loss was 700ml. There was unusual bleeding or blood clots noted upon fundal massage. Postpartum Assessment After 2 hours the patient was transferred to the postpartum unit with husband and twins at bedside. The patient is oriented to the room and a new perineal pad is applied to the patient during the initial assessment. After one hour the patient press the call light and states she feels blood dripping down her leg. Upon assessment you note a boggy uterus deviated to the right side, her pad is saturated, and there is a constant flow of blood. You perform a fundal massage and the uterus is firm after 2 minutes. You apply a new pad and inform the patient that you will return in 15 minutes. After 15 minutes you return to the patient room to assess her bleeding. The pad is saturated again, fundus is boggy, abdomen is distended and you notice blood clots. The palms of her hands are sweaty , she’s complaining of abdomen pain and feeling dehydrated. The patient and the husband are concern about her condition. Questions: 1. What is your plan of action of this patient? 2. How would you explain this situation to the patient and her husband? 3. Would you consider calling the physician and why? 4. Would orders do you anticipate the physician to order and why? 5. What would be the primary nursing diagnosis?

A woman brings her 13 year old son to the pediatrician’s office. The boy’s problems go back to the neonatal period, when he bled unduly after circumcision. When his deciduous (baby) teeth first erupted, he bit his lower lip, and the wound oozed for 2 days. As he began to crawl and walk, bruises appeared on his arms & legs. Occasionally he would sustain a nosebleed without having had an obvious injury. By the time he was 3 years of age, his parents became aware that occasionally he would have painful swelling of a joint (knee, shoulder or wrist) but his fingers & toes seemed spared. The joint swelling would be accompanied by exquisite tenderness; the swelling would subside in 2-3 days. The patient’s mother states that when her son was a baby, she noted what appeared to be blood in his stool, and the boy tells the pediatrician that twice his urine appeared red for 1-2 days. Anxiously the patient’s mother relates that her brother & her maternal uncle both had similar problems & were thought to be “bleeders”. There is no further family history of bleeding and there is no parental consanguinity (i.e. the patient’s parents are not blood relatives). Examination of this boy reveals the presence of ecchymosis and the inability to fully flex or extend his elbows. A panel of four tests is ordered with instructions to extend testing as appropriate. The four tests are a (1) platelet count, (2) prothrombin time, (3) partial thromboplastin time and (4) bleeding time. The patient’s platelet count was found to be 260,000/microliter (normal is 150,000-300,000)

a) What is the role of platelets in hemostasis?

b) What purpose is served by drawing blood into a solution of sodium citrate? What is the purpose of adding a solution of calcium chloride? Does the prothrombin time measure the intrinsic or extrinsic pathway of coagulation?

c) What mechanisms might cause the prothrombin time to be abnormally long?

d) With the given data, can you guess in general the site of the clotting abnormality in this patient?

e) What clotting factors participate in the early steps of the intrinsic pathway of thrombin formation?

Spence’s original education signaling model has been criticized on the grounds that the presence or absence of a college degree is a relatively weak signal in today’s job market. That is, although the wage gap between those with and without degrees remains large, there appears to be considerable “pooling” of different levels of talent, ability, determination, work ethic, etc., within the group of college graduates. Consider a variation in the model in which firms use grade-point average (GPA) as the signal. No calculations are necessary for this problem.

(a) Explain how and why GPA might function as a better signal than simply earning a degree. Be specific.

(b) Identify and explain completely at least one weakness or deficiency in using GPA as a signal.

(c) Many colleges and universities have been accused of practicing grade inflation—defined as a gradual but steady increase in the average GPA of all graduates. What effect does this practice have on the signaling value of GPA?

(d) Considering your response to part (c), how do you predict High Ability and Low Ability students would react to grade inflation? Be specific.

(e) Some analysts argue that so-called educational signals are instead signals of relative wealth and privilege. How vulnerable is GPA to this criticism? How does it compare to other signals in the labor market?

Please indicate whether the claim reported in the headline below is most likely to be normative (i.e., how things ought to be), descriptive (i.e., a snapshot of how the world is), or causal (i.e., independent variable has an effect on dependent variable).   

Question 8 [10]

According to Calitz, E, Siebrits, K and Steenkamp, T (2019) Public Economics. Oxford

University Press, South Africa, Chapter 18: “Some commentators criticised the

authorities for budgeting for a surplus in the 2008/09 financial year, arguing that it would

have been better to increase government spending further to address various social

needs” The outlook turned out to be a blessing in disguise given the effect of the financial

crisis in 2009. Discuss how it could cushion the South African against the world- wide

recession. How is it now different given recession prospects during and after the Covid-

19 pandemic?

large body of evidence in the world that smoking is the cause
of numerous life-threatening diseases such as cardiovascular and
pulmonary diseases along with different kinds of cancer. Despite the
warnings given in the media and press, the number of smokers is
escalating day by day. A case study conducted on 117 male students
aging from19 to 27 years old. The 88 smokers had a history of consuming
at least 5 cigarettes a day for at least 2 years. The case with lung cancer
for smokers is 33 and 2 for non-smokers. Calculate the ratio of incidence
of the disease among the exposed and incidence among the nonexposed
and the amount or proportions of disease that can be attributed
to a specific exposure. Discuss your results and recommendations.

1. What is the current price of a bond issued by Dundee International which pays a semiannual coupon rate of 6 8/9%? The bond matures in 5 years and the required return on investments of similar risk is 6.5%.
2. Maxine Corp has a 5 1/8% coupon bond outstanding in 2004. The bond matures on April 1 in the maturity year. Suppose an investor bought this bond on April 1, 1999 and assume that interest is paid annually on April Calculate the yield-to-maturity assuming the investor buys the bond at 105, as quoted in the financial press.
3. Determine the expected inflation rate if the nominal rate of return is 10% and the real rate of return is 7%.
