An Italian company, New Century Corp, enters into a 1-year interest rate swap with Northern European Bank. The notional principle of the swap is €100 million. Payments will be made semiannually on the basis of 180/360 (180 days in the settlement period and 360 days per year). New Century will pay a fixed rate of 4% and receive floating rate Euribor plus 1%. The 180-day Euribor rates are as below:
Current: 2.8%       In 1 quarter: 3%   In 2 quarters: 3.4%   In 3 quarters: 3.7%
A. Determine the initial exchange of cash that occurs at the start of the swap.
B. Determine the semiannual payments for the first year (first half, second half).  
C. Determine the final exchange of cash that occurs at the end of the swap.

PYTHON PLEASE--------

For the first module, write the pseudocode to process these tasks:
(Note: lines beginning with # are comments with tips for you)

1. From the random module import randint to roll each die randomly
   1. # in pseudocode, import a random function
   2. # the name is helpful for the next M5-2 assignment
2. Define a class called Dice
   1. In Python, the syntax has a colon after it: class Dice():
   2. In pseudocode, you can specify it generally or be specific
3. Under the class declaration, list the attributes. Here are some tips:
   1. # attributes are what we know about a single die (dice is plural)
   2. # self is the first attribute in Python and must always appear first
   3. # add a num_sides attribute and to set it to 6 for the 6 sides on the dice
4. Define a method for roll(self)
   1. # it describes what happens when we roll a single die
   2. # in the code, it will look like this example
      1. def __init__(self, dice_sides=6):
      2. # in pseudocode, we do not worry about the punctuation
      3. # just list it as part of your logic
5. Under roll(self), return a random int value between 1 and self.dice_sides

For the second module, write the pseudocode to complete these tasks:

1. In the same M5Lab1ii file, start a second module below the first module.
2. From a new dice module, import our Dice class
3. Create a 6-sided die by using assignment # for example: dice = Dice()
4. Create an empty results list
5. Write a for statement that takes each roll_num in range() and rolls it 100 times
6. Set the value of result to dice.roll()
7. For each roll and append it to the results list using your list’s name and .append() with the variable for each dice roll inside the parameters for append(). For example:
   1. # yourlistname.append(result)
8. Refer to the name of your list within the print() parameter to print the results.
9. 100 dice rolls for the values 1-6 appear in a list on the Python shell.

How do I do a nursing care plan with this case scenario?

Mrs. Rose is a 51- year- old female who is admitted to the medical surgical unit following a resection of the sigmoid colon and rectum due to a cancerous growth. She has a colostomy.

Mrs. Rose is married, has three children - two daughters, age 29 and 26, who are living on their own approx. 2 hours away and a son, age 20, who is in university and living at home.

Mrs. Rose had been in good health until January of this year when she noticed a decrease in appetite, abnormal bowel movements, varying from small hard stools to loose watery stools, and a sudden drop in weight of 9 lbs over 4 weeks. Mrs. Rose stated she had not been on a diet, had always struggled with her weight and was secretly elated when she began to lose weight with no effort.

Mrs. Rose is on a blood pressure medication and takes vitamin D and Calcium po daily. She has no known allergies.

Doctor’s Orders post operatively include:

Vital signs q4h

AAT – ambulate daily

Diet – clear fluids for 12 hours then soft foods with low sodium

IV Normal Saline at 100 cc/hr

Medications:

Norvasc 5mg po OD

Calcium / Vitamin D supplements as per routine

Clean area around stoma 2x daily

Consult to Enterostomal therapy

Morphine 2.5 mg IV every 2 hours prn

Gravol 50 mg po q 4 hr prn

You are assigned total patient care for Mrs. Rose. She is now 19 hours post- operative. When you approach Mrs. Rose and introduce yourself, she nods but does not respond.

The patient has an IV #20 intercath infusing in the left forearm of Normal Saline at100 cc/hr.

She has a stoma protruding from the left side of the abdomen.

A stoma bag is covering the stoma and attached to the skin surrounding it.

During your initial assessment, Mrs. Rose begins to cry and says: “I can’t believe this is happening to me.” While you are providing personal care Mrs. Rose covers her head with the sheet.   

You examine the stoma, note that it is pink and oozing liquid stool into the stoma bag. You inform Mrs. Rose that the incision site is very clean and looks healthy. Mrs. Rose refuses to look at the stoma and tells you “I do not want to hear anything about this.”

A liquid diet was initially ordered but now soft foods have been ordered for Mrs. Rose. Mrs. Rose refuses the tray stating, “I’m not hungry.”

Mrs. Rose’s husband and son arrive after breakfast and are very concerned and attentive over her. She smiles and asks them several questions about their work and university. Her daughters will be arriving later in the day.

You explain to Mr. Rose that it is important to ambulate daily (as per Dr Orders) and that he and their son can certainly be there and assist. Mrs. Rose tells you she is in too much pain to get out of bed and perhaps it is better that her husband and son go home and come back later. You ask Mrs. Rose about the intensity of the pain. She says it is 7/10.

Later that day, Mrs. Rose appears flushed and you note the following assessment findings:

Temp 37.9,

HR 87,

BP 153/87,

R 20,

O2 saturation per pulse oximetry-100% on room air.

The skin around the stoma is red and appears irritated, the stoma is still pink, and draining a very soft slightly formed stool.

Choose 2 signs or symptoms that are characteristic of Hilda’s respiratory disease and link them to the pathophysiology of her condition (i.e., explain how the pathophysiological changes cause the signs and symptoms you specified).

below is given case study for this question. hope this help

Hilda Wilde is a 45-year-old woman who was diagnosed with asthma as a child. She recalls her first asthma attack being horrendous; chest tightness, difficulty breathing, wheezing, feeling anxious and sweating profusely. She was rushed to hospital and spent many days in hospital as a child until she managed to work out the triggers and control it early. The triggers for her asthma were cold temperatures, pollen, smoky environments and respiratory infections/colds, which continue to be the triggers throughout her adult life. She also developed hay fever and an allergy to penicillin in her 20’s, which didn’t surprise her as her mum also had these conditions.

One cold Spring day Hilda is outside gardening as she is finding herself stressed by the current coronavirus and gardening usually relaxes her. Hilda is making good progress on weeding when she starts to experience those dreaded sensations she knows only too well; tightness in the chest, shortness of breath and dizziness. She starts to wheeze and cannot stop coughing. Her husband notices Hilda is struggling and brings Hilda’s inhaler (Ventolin) for her. Hilda’s wheezing and shortness of breath does not ease off, even with her inhaler. She finds it hard to talk or get up and walk. Her lips start to turn blue. Hilda’s husband calls an ambulance and Hilda is taken to hospital where she is given corticosteroids. She is told she has to stay in hospital a few days so that her condition can be monitored. However, Hilda is worried about staying in hospital due to the novel coronavirus outbreak. Her GP has previously told her that if she contracts the virus, she is at a greater risk of developing more serious symptoms such as pneumonia or acute respiratory distress. The hospital staff have assured her that they take all the necessary precautions. All coronavirus affected patients are isolated in private rooms, and all healthcare staff practice proper hand hygiene and appropriate use of PPE.

A few days later, Hilda’s asthma is under control and she is discharged from hospital. She is told to take her preventer medicine every day, even when she is feeling well. She is also told to follow routine practices and precautions to lessen her risk of contracting coronavirus.

A forty-five-year-old man with a three-year history of cardiovascular disease has entered the hospital with a stroke that has paralyzed his right side and caused him to aspirate food of any consistency. His mental status is clouded and there is disagreement as to whether or not he has decisional capacity. His language capacity is only “yes” and “no,” and his responses are inconsistent. The attending physician is convinced that the patient has lost decisional capacity while two family members are equally convinced that he has decisional capacity. The patient’s wife and two other children are ambivalent about his competency to make decisions. The prognosis for recovery of safe swallowing and speech approaches zero because of the dense damage to the cerebral cortex visible on brain imaging. Two neurological consultants have verified that recovery is likely to be minimal and that permanent, severe disability will be the outcome.

The patient does not have an advance directive. The patient’s wife says that they never did discuss his preferences about life-sustaining treatment. She is convinced that he would not want to live in this disabled condition, but is uncertain whether to request the placement of a feeding tube. Two of her four adult children are strongly opposed to the tube placement, while the other two insist that not to do so would be to “kill our father.” The patient’s wife is torn between these two positions, but finally requests that the tube be placed.

The attending physician and the rest of the treatment team are opposed to placing the feeding tube. Their argument is that the patient has “minimal consciousness” and will not improve. They define this as a futile situation with no reasonable expectation of recovery. Furthermore, two nurses claim that during previous hospitalizations for episodes of cardiovascular events the patient told them that he would not want to be sustained by artificial means — not by ventilators, renal dialysis, or tube feeding. It is their position that the patient has expressed his preference to not be kept alive in a futile situation.

The family requests an ethics consultation.

1. The family is divided over whether or not their husband/father should be placed on a feeding tube.

If the husband is deemed competent, who makes the final decision? _________

If not competent, who is the husbands’ official surrogate? ___________

The burdens the treatment (feeding tube) imposes should not be a consideration for the adult children? True_________ False _________

Ethics committees play an advisory role? True _______ False______

Ethics committees act as advocates for the healthcare team? True______ False ________

Decisions of ethics committee are legally binding? True____ False____

Please briefly answer/discuss the following:

The judgment of futility should be a conclusion of a communications process, not a beginning. How would you propose beginning the communication process with the family in this case?

First consider, what is the purpose of an ethics committee?

What information should be shared?

Who should be present?

What alternatives are on the table in this case?

Should the nurses’ statements be considered?

As part of the healthcare team, what is your goal in participating in the discussion?

what comments do you have for these two separate stories concerning emotional intelligence and self awareness?

STORY 1

My teacher and different groups would go to a retirement home. Investing our time and learning first hand how to be a CNA. My teacher, who was a retired CNA, helped us a lot with the issues with working in environments like that. When working in a retirement home, it puts a lot of stress on you mentally. There are people who are left there alone never seeing family. Some are so out of their minds that their only way of communication is screaming at you. You experience death very often, especially with those you have come to enjoy. My teacher was amazing at keeping her emotions in check. She knew when she needed to be calming to others and when to switch to her professional mode. Going along with self-management, my teacher was able to strict when something needed to be done but if it was taking a toll on us would be comforting all the same. When I told her I could not go back and work at the home, she completely understood. My teacher knew this kind of job for everyone and she wasn't going to force me to do it. When I stopped volunteering my time, she still put in the effort to help me pass the class due to the fact that we were graded on our involvement with the retirement home. Even when I was going through hardships at home, my teacher was able to push me through and get me to where I am now.

STORY 2

A situation in which I observed someone apply emotional intelligence to a situation was when my husband and I got into an argument on who we wanted in the delivery room when our son was to be born. My husband wanted it to be just the two of us whereas I wanted more family and friends to be present. We both ended up applying emotional intelligence in this situation because in order for us to come up with a solution we were required to become more aware of our own and each other's emotions revolving this situation in order for us to understand each other more completely. We applied self-awareness by accurately perceiving, evaluating and displaying appropriate emotions. We applied self-management by being able to direct out emotions in a positive way. We applied social awareness when we were able to understand how each other felt. We applied relationship management when we were able to help each other manage each other's own emotions and establish a supportive relationship surrounding this situation. In the end, it ended up just being the of us due to hospital restrictions due to the Covid-19 but we were able to reach an understanding by applying emotional intelligence

Compost Science Inc. (CSI) is in the business of converting Boston’s sewage sludge into fertilizer. The business is not in itself very profitable. However, to induce CSI to remain in business, the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) has agreed to pay whatever amount is necessary to yield CSI a 12% book return on equity. At the end of the year, CSI is expected to pay a $4 dividend. It has been reinvesting 40% of earnings and growing at 4% a year.

a-1. Suppose CSI continues on this growth trend. What is the expected long-run rate of return from purchasing the stock at $100? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to the nearest whole number.)

Rate of Return:
a-2. What part of the $100 price is attributable to the present value of growth opportunities? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

PVGO:
b. Now the MDC announces a plan for CSI to treat Cambridge sewage. CSI’s plant will, therefore, be expanded gradually over five years. This means that CSI will have to reinvest 80% of its earnings for five years. Starting in year 6, however, it will again be able to pay out 60% of earnings. What will be CSI’s stock price once this announcement is made and its consequences for CSI are known? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
