This assessment task aims to develop your ability to apply the first three phases of the clinical reasoning process, at an introductory level, to the patient scenario below. You are a student nurse working with a school nurse (registered nurse) in a secondary school. You and your mentor are supervising a bubble soccer match this afternoon (26th March) which commenced at 1400 hrs. The match goes for 40 minutes with a 5-minute break in between the two halves. It is a hot and sunny day, the air temperature is 32 oC and the humidity is 45%. After the match, your mentor asks you to perform a range of health assessments to make sure the students are fit to go home. Jessie Lin is 16 years old and in Year 11. It is now 1450 hours. You assess Jessie's vital signs and record the following results: Temperature (tympanic) 38.5 oC Pulse rate 140 beats/min Respiratory rate (RR) 29 breaths/min Blood pressure (BP) 130/70 mmHg Jessie has flushed skin (see picture above) and her t-shirt is soaked. Her past medical history has not yet been documented in the school record as she is a new student and only enrolled in the school last week after moving from another state. She informs you that her mother is waiting for her in the car park, but she feels very hot and that her heart feels like it is beating very fast. She asks you for a bottle of cold water and a chair. Jessie's previous observation records (on a clinical chart) are: Date BP Pulse RR Temp 23rd March 2020 110/60 70 14 36.8 24th March 2020 112/60 74 12 36.6
Question:
Propose what further cues you want to collect and explain why these are relevant and important to the situation (approx. 450 words) To do this successfully, you will need to form a logical opinion about what the further cues should be, when you would undertake the assessments to collect these cues (e.g. after some immediate actions for Jessie) and why these cues should be assessed. Relate your justification to Jessie's situation AND to the principles of anatomy and normal physiology (focusing on homeostasis).

Assume that Snoopy faces two choices: (1) drop out of school to earn $28,000 now and $29,000 in the next time period, or (2) stay in school now (without working) and earn $45,000 in the next time period. Assume that the monetary cost of an additional year of schooling is $3,200. (a) If the interest rate is 2%, should Snoopy invest in the additional year of education if only two time periods are involved? Why or why not? (b) Do you think your answer might change if the interest rate is less than 2%? (c ) Now assume that three time periods are involved. If Snoopy does not go back to school, he will earn $28,000, $29,000, and $29,800 in the three time periods, respectively. If he attends school another year, he will earn $45,000 next year and $50,000 in the following year. In this case, if the interest rate is 2% should Snoopy invest in the additional year of education? (d) If Snoopy places a high intrinsic value on acquiring more education, how might your answers change to (a) and (c )? (e) How might your answers change to (a) and (c ) if Snoopy is able to maintain a part-time job while he is in school that pays $10,000? (f) Use this example to discuss the four factors that affect the likelihood someone will invest in human capital.

Asbestos Removal
Analyze a fact pattern for landholder premises liability
This analysis exercise explores issues related to
landholder premises liability.
Step 1 Read the fact pattern.
Jane's parents got work at Nix-Asbestos, an asbestos removal firm.
The company made Jane's parents wear protective clothing at every
job site. For their first year at Nix-Asbestos, her parents helped
to remove asbestos insulation at an old private school, which was
being converted into high-priced condominiums. Jane helped her
parents around the house, including doing the clothes washing. She
never went to visit her parents while they worked on the asbestos
removal from the old private school. Within a few months after the
completion of that job, Jane contracted mesothelioma, a form of
lung cancer that arises primarily from exposure to asbestos. Her
parents brought suit against the owners of the old private school,
on a theory of premises liability.
Step 2 Write a paper.
Draft a paper that analyzes the issues of landholder premises
liability as they apply to the fact pattern and addresses these
points with supporting rationale:
What do the parents need to show in order to establish
the liability of the owners of the old private school?
What arguments will the owners of the old private
school raise against the suit?
How will the court likely rule on such
requests?
Why would the court rule as it would on those
arguments?
