Questions
The following table shows the before and after effects of a policy change that increases the number of visits by caregivers to those homes with people needing assistance.

For the next three questions use this information to calculate the values listed below the data set.

The following table shows the before and after effects of a policy change that increases the number of visits by caregivers to those homes with people needing assistance. Data were gathered for 6 months prior to the policy change (a time when visits were once per day in the morning) and after the policy change (visits increased from once per day to 2-3 times per day). The scores were from a modified life enthusiasm scale where higher scores indicated higher contentment. Do the data presented show an increase in contentment? Test at α=.01

Horizon Corporation manufactures personal computers. The company began operations in 2016 and reported profits for the years 2016 through 2019. Due primarily to increased competition and price slashing in the industry, 2020’s income statement reported a loss of $20 million. Just before the end of the 2021 fiscal year, a memo from the company’s chief financial officer to Jim Fielding, the company controller, included the following comments:

If we don’t do something about the large number of unsold computers already manufactured, our auditors will require us to write them off. The resulting loss for 2021 will cause a violation of our debt covenants and force the company into bankruptcy. I suggest that you ship half of our inventory to J.A. Sales in Nevada. I know the company’s president and he will accept the merchandise and acknowledge the shipment as a purchase. We can record the sale in 2021 which will boost profits to an acceptable level. The J.A. Sales will simply return the merchandise in 2022 after the financial statements have been issued.

A parachutist whose mass is 80 kg drops from a helicopter hovering 2000 m above the ground and falls toward the ground under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force due to air resistance is proportional to the velocity of the​ parachutist, with the proportionality constant b1=20 ​N-sec/m when the chute is closed and b2=100 ​N-sec/m when the chute is open. If the chute does not open until the velocity of the parachutist reaches 35 ​m/sec, after how many seconds will the parachutist reach the​ ground? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2.

A parachutist whose mass is 85 kg drops from a helicopter hovering 1000 m above the ground and falls towards the ground under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force due to air resistance is proportional to velocity of the parachutist, with the proportionality constant b1=20 N-sec/m when the chute is closed and b2=90 N-sec/m when the chute is open. If the chute does not open until the velocity of the parachutist reaches 35 m/sec, after how many seconds will the parachutist reach the ground? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/sec^2.

Respiratory Care Modalities

April Long, a 60-year-old patient, is admitted with the diagnosis of small cell carcinoma of the left lower lobe. She had a left lower lobectomy removing the cancerous mass. After surgery, the patient has a chest tube to a closed water-seal drainage system, the Atrium Ocean at 20 cmH2O.

  1.   What are the nursing responsibilities when caring for a patient with a chest tube to a drainage system?
  1. How should the nurse reposition the patient in this case study?
  1. The chest tube accidently is disconnected from the drainage system and the drainage system is cracked. What should the nurse do?
