You have a patient being discharged home with CHF and diabetes. This patient is a frequent flyer so you want to facilitate their transition to home as best as possible. In 300-500 words, identify 1- 2 important technologies you have learned about, read about or used in patient care that could be considered for use at home in order to promote patient safety for this particular patient. Explain what it is, how it is used, how it promotes safety and why it would help maintain the patient’s health and minimize the likelihood of readmission. Give the top reason for your selection and identify one improvement that you feel would enhance your identified technology.

In this laboratory experiment, you wanted to see the effect of Amylase with starch. So you performed the following:
In tube 1 - Combine equal volume of Amylase with Starch solution
In tube 2 - Combine Amylase with water
In tube 3 - Combine water with Starch solution
Let all three tubes sit in a 37C waterbath for 20 minutes. After the 20 minutes incubation was over, then you would test for the presence of starch. In the meantime, what would you predict? Based on what you know about enzymatic digestion, what do you expect here in these tubes? After the incubation period we added Iodine solutions to each tube to test for starch. Here are the results:
In tube 1 - white cloudy solution
In tube 2 - Yellowish solution
In tube 3 - Dark red solution
Explain this result, what happened in each tube? Why is adding iodine important to detect the presence of starch?

The following are short answer-type questions about not-for-profit colleges or universities. Remember to cite your source. 1. For purposes of external reporting, which generally accepted accounting principles are applicable to private colleges and universities? Examples would be FASB, GASB, and/or other accounting. 2. For purposes of external reporting, which accounting principles are applicable to public (governmental) colleges or university? Examples would be FASB, GASB, and/or other accounting. 3. Where and how should public (governmental) colleges or universities report state appropriations? Explain what state appropriations are. 4. Dorian College, a not-for-profit institution, issued $20,000,000 in revenue bonds. Per the terms of the bond indenture, the college must maintain a cash reserve of $800,000 – which is equal to six months of interest. How should the cash that is set aside be classified? 5. What is an auxiliary enterprise? Explain and give an example. 6. A government university receives a grant of $2,000,000 to improve its baseball field and stands. In its statement of cash flows, where should the cash flow be shown for the grant of $2,000,000? (for example, what type of cash flow activity?) Why? 7. A not-for-profit university receives an unrestricted contrition of $200,000. In its statement of cash flows, in which activity category would the cash inflow of $200,000 be shown? Why?

A manufacturer wants to compare the number of defects on the day shift with the number on the evening shift. A sample of production from recent shifts showed the following defects:
Day Shift 5 8 7 6 9 7
Evening Shift 8 10 7 11 9 12 14 9
The objective is to determine whether the mean number of defects on the night shift is greater than the mean number on the day shift at the 95% confidence level.
State the null and alternate hypotheses.
What is the level of significance?
What is the test statistic?
What is the decision rule?
Use the Excel Data Analysis pack to analyze the problem. Include the output with your answer. (Note: You may calculate by hand if you prefer).
What is your conclusion? Explain.
Does the decision change at the 99% confidence level?

Janet was asked the following question on her Probability Test: Q: A class has 7 boys and 6 girls. The teacher will be picking two volunteers at random to do the recycling. What is the probability that the teacher picks one boy and one girl?
Janet's answer along with her explanation is shown below:
Well there is a 7/13 chance of picking a boy and a 6/13 chance of picking a girl- therefore, the probability of picking a boy AND a girl will be P(Boy) x P(Girl) = 7/13x6/13=42/169=25%.
Explain , in detail if you agree with her answer. Include in your answer references to independent and dependent events. If you agree that her answer is correct, explain why. If you disagree with her answers, explain what she did wrong and include the correct solution.
