Chapter 28: Growth and Development of the School-Age Child

1. Gina has come into the primary care center with her mother Kris for an 11-year-old wellness examination. As the nurse prepares Gina for her examination, Kris asks to speak to the nurse outside the examination room. Kris shares with the nurse her concerns about recent changes she has noticed in Gina. She explains that Gina’s body is beginning to change and she has made a number of comments about her body image. Kris is concerned about Gina’s self-esteem and emotional development. (Learning Objectives 1, 2, and 3)

a. What are some of the prepubescent changes school-age children experience that the nurse can share with Kris?

b. What are some of the issues regarding body image that the nurse can teach Kris about?

c. What can the nurse teach Kris regarding self-esteem in school-age children to address her concerns?

Jason is 11 years old and has Type 1 Diabetes. He was diagnosed with Diabetes when he was 5 years old. He is comfortable taking his "blood sugar" readings during the day. He likes to participate in sports and is on the soccer team, which practices three times a week after school. His mother always packs his lunch for school so he does not have to worry about eating the food in the cafeteria.

For this written assignment plan a day's meal for Jason.

Include breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks.

In particular, include any snacks he may need after school to maintain a balanced diet during soccer practice.

Also include a brief discussion about three issues/considerations regarding nutrition, diabetes, and children that nurses must be aware of.

You may use any of the resources found in this module or any other evidence-based sources (include those as in-text citations and references using APA Editorial Format).

A prospective MBA student earns $55,000 per year in her current job and expects that amount to increase by 7% per year. She is considering leaving her job to attend business school for two years at a cost of $40,000 per year. She has been told that her starting salary after business school is likely to be $100,000 and that amount will increase by 10% per year. Consider a time horizon of 10 years, use a discount rate of 13%, and ignore all considerations not explicitly mentioned here. Assume all cash flows occur at the start of each year (i.e., immediate, one year from now, two years from now,..., nine years from now). Also assume that the choice can be implemented immediately so that for the MBA alternative the current year is the first year of business school. What is the net present value of the more attractive choice? Please round your answer to the nearest dollar.

A prospective MBA student earns $45,000 per year in her current job and expects that amount to increase by 6% per year. She is considering leaving her job to attend business school for two years at a cost of $30,000 per year. She has been told that her starting salary after business school is likely to be $90,000 and that amount will increase by 16% per year. Consider a time horizon of 10 years, use a discount rate of 9%, and ignore all considerations not explicitly mentioned here. Assume all cash flows occur at the start of each year (i.e., immediate, one year from now, two years from now,..., nine years from now). Also assume that the choice can be implemented immediately so that for the MBA alternative the current year is the first year of business school. What is the net present value of the more attractive choice? Please round your answer to the nearest dollar.

1- The number of calories in a hamburger depends on what ingredients are included. The following are determinations of calorific values of a sample of homemade large hamburgers:

350 375 400 356 378 379 340 320 330 324 360 390

Assume that the calorific values for the hamburgers are normally distributed.

a) Find the standard error of the sample mean.

b) Obtain the 95% confidence intervals for the mean calorific values of the burgers.

2- The following show the number of hours a sample of High school students from a local high school studied a week:

21, 15, 18, 24, 15, 18, 20, 23, 24, 12, 10, 20, 12, 18, 20, 14, 17

Assume that the weekly study hours are normally distributed.

a) find the 90% confidence intervals for the mean number of study hours.

b) find the margin of error for the 95% confidence interval of the mean number of study hours for all students in this high school. The margin of error equals half length of the confidence interval.

3) You are an OSHA inspector who is conducting a routine inspection at a warehouse in Porter County. Materials are stored above the ceiling of a shipping office within the warehouse. You decide to write a citation, because:

-There are obvious, physical signs that the stored materials are too heavy as there is bowing in the ceiling materials that are over the work stations of the shipping personnel

-The load limit sign shows a number of lbs per square foot that is too conservative for this situation

-Your floor load capacity meter indicates a problem

---------

15) All of the following describe good housekeeping practices except:

- eliminate hazards such as protruding nails or loose flooboards

- provide mats if needed to allow for a dry standing place at a work station

-Do not allow wet processes in any workplace

- Keep floors as clean and dry as possible

--------------

18) Employee training is important for the HazCom standard because the average level at which the MSDS is written is: Middle school, high school, elementry school, college level.

A popular method for defrauding a company is to issue a phony invoice. The scam begins by initially contacting the target firm to discover details of key business contacts, business operations, and products. The swindler then uses this information to create a fictitious invoice. The invoice will include names, figures, and other details to give it the appearance of legitimacy. Scott County Schools was a victim of the above scam in 2017.

Scott County Schools in Kentucky announced that it was the victim of a major attack that resulted in a loss of $3.7 million. This was a typical invoice scam where the school was notified that an invoice was outstanding, the school duly paid the fake invoice. Once the fact this was a wire fraud incident, the FBI was contacted, and attempts were made to recover the funds. Initially, it was it is unclear whether it will be possible to recover the money. Just today it was confirmed that the school district in Kentucky recovered the $3.7 million stolen by the hacker in this cyber wire fraud scam.

1. How can scams like this be avoided and what policies should be implemented by companies to detect phony invoices sooner?

1. Liv attends “Happy Days” preschool. The preschool ran assessments on the children’s motor skills (such as ability to tie a shoe), social skills (such as sharing and saying “please” and “thank you”), and school readiness (such as knowing ABCs and basic counting). The motor skills test has a class mean of 6 with a standard deviation of 1, the social skills test has a class mean of 10 with a standard deviation of 2, and the school readiness test has a mean of 16 with a standard deviation of 4. Liv’s parents are given a report that indicates that her z score for motor skills is –1.11, for social skills it is 0.25, and for school readiness it is 0.

a. The parents do not know what z scores are. Clearly define for them what a z score measures and the advantages of using z scores compared to raw scores.

b. What does a z score = –1.11 mean? A z score of 0.25? A z score of 0?

c. What are Liv’s raw scores on each test?
