CORRECT AND DETAILED ANSWER NEEDED! THANK YOU!

Sandra inherited $200,000 from her grandmother’s estate and decided to invest the money. Sandra and her husband, Dan, purchased a parcel of land in an undeveloped, wooded area a few blocks from their current home. At the time of purchase, they felt that in the future they may use the land to build a new home. However, they were equally motivated by the fact that the land was a solid investment and would very likely gain value quickly. They ended up selling the land four years after the purchase for $350,000.

Should the $150,000 gain be treated as a capital gain or as business income? Justify your conclusion.

develop severe abdominal pain and cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea. After about ten to twelve episodes of watery
diarrhea, she became so pale and weak that her husband took her to the clinic. She was diagnosed with severe
dehydration resulting in hypovolemic shock.
The body has several response mechanisms that are utilized to try to maintain blood pressure and blood
flow in response to hypovolemic shock. Which of the following would occur ?

  • Sympathetic stimulation of the heart is increased.

M.E. is a 66 year old woman who has a 2-year history of progressive forgetfulness. After a neurological evaluation, M.E. was diagnosed as having Alzheimer Disease (AD). She is no longer able to care for herself, has become increasingly depressed and paranoid, and recently started a fire in the kitchen. Her husband and children have come to the Alzheimer unit at your extended care facility to seek information about AD and discuss the possibility of placement for M.E. You assure the family that you have experience dealing with the questions and concerns of most people in their situation.

  1. How would you explain AD to the family?

  1. M.E.’s husband asks, “How did she get Alzheimer’s? We don’t know anyone else who has it.” How would you respond?
  1. After asking the family to describe M.E.’s behavior, you determine that she is in stage 2 of the disease. Describe the common signs and symptoms for each of the three stages of the disease and the length of time each stage generally lasts.

  1. M.E.’s daughter expresses some frustration at the number of tests M.E. had to undergo and the length of time it took for someone to diagnose M.E.’s problem. What tests are likely to be performed, and how is AD diagnosed?

M.E.’s husband states, “How are you going to take care of her? She wanders aroung all night long. She cannot find her way to the bathroom in a house that she lived in for 43 years. She cannot be trusted to be alone anymore. She almost burned the house down. We’re all exhausted; there are three of us, and we can’t keep up with her.” You acknowledge how exhausted they must be from trying to keep her safe. You tell the family he Alheimer units have been created to provide a structured, safe environment.

5. Describe specific nursing interventions to place in M.E.’s plan of care that are aimed at minimizing her risk of falling.

6. M.E.’s son wants to know why the unit is only accessible through a keypad locked door. He is worried that there are violent patients on the unit. How will you respond?

7. Describe the Alzheimer-related nursing interventions related to each of the following problems: chronic confusion, inability to perform self-hygiene, disturbed sleep pattern, impaired verbal communication, and agitation.

8. M.E.’s son asks whether medications can help her AD. How would you respond?

9. What other medications might be prescribed for AD and why?

10. Who can you collaborate with and for what problems?

A female client, diagnosed with Bipolar I, recently stopped taking her lithium. She has not slept, eaten or bathed in days. She is dressing in brightly-colored, flamboyant, and sexually suggestive clothing. She has been spending money freely and buying things she does not need and cannot afford.

She cannot sit still and continually paces around the room. The client repeatedly says, “I feel good. I feel good like I know I should. I feel good!!!” The client’s husband informs the nurse that his wife has stopped taking her lithium and has not eaten, slept, or showered in days.

2.

There are 2 firms that sell a certain software, Microsoft and Oracle. Microsoft invented the software and so they act as a market leader by first deciding how much of the software they are going to produce each month. Oracle observes this decision by Microsoft and then chooses how much they are going to produce. The marginal cost of producing the software is constant at $2 for both companies. The total market demand for the software is P = 84 - 0.2Q. According to the Stackelberg model, Microsoft will produce________________ units of the software as the first-mover and Oracle will produce _______________ units in response.
