In this initial entry into your Nurse E-Portfolio for this course, you will be examining your perceptions of the nurse in the role of collecting and assessing information. Using the e-portfolio format, answer the following questions. Make sure you spend some time thinking about the answers to these questions before writing.

What experiences have you had interviewing people to gather information?

What communication skills do you have that will help you conduct interviews to gather information?

What communication skills do you have that may hinder your ability to gather information? What can you do to overcome these?

Submit your completed assignment by following the directions linked below. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates.

Save your assignment as a Microsoft Word document. (Mac users, please remember to append the ".docx" extension to the filename.)

An example for numerical to categorical data off the top of my head: Light of different color has different wavelengths, but certain ranges of wavelengths qualify as certain shades/hues/tints/etc. You can generalize and say a certain range can be called "blue" or "red". Red is usually attributed to light that has a wavelength between 780 and 622 nanometers, whereas blue light is between 492 and 455 nm. To the average person, "red" and "blue" obviously mean more than a given wavelength of light, so a categorical/qualitative description might be of more use in such a context. Another example would be grading scales. Certain ranges of scores will qualify as an A, a B, and so on. Suppose you want to examine the grades of high school students admitted into a prestigious university. Students that fall in the A/B range tend to have a better chance of being admitted, while those at the other end of the spectrum are "significantly" less likely to enroll. ("Significant" here can take on the statistical meaning of the word.

Progressive is investigating its claim processing time. Table below shows the samples that have been taken from 3 branches for 15 random days. Examine the process output by calculating the control limits and developing X-bar and R control charts using the data given. Does the process look to be in statistical control?

Upload the question with your answer in a file, acceptable file formats are: Excel^® and Word®.

This week our eText focuses on knowing why customer service matters. Imagine the following scenario. You have ordered products from an online company. You have never tried their online business before, although you have used their physical business several times. The business sent you an order confirmation with a date of expected delivery. The products, however, don’t come. In fact, although the business guaranteed a one-week delivery time, you don’t receive the products until three weeks after you ordered them. What would you do? Your attempts to contact the company via email receive no response.

Focus on three aspects of your response:

• Would you be likely to use that business again?
• How likely is it that you would tell other people about your experience?
• How would you tell others (word of mouth, online, social networking site, others?

Please make it at least 250 words!

B. What manner of data interpretation will be used to communicate the findings within the organization?
C. If this initiative was implemented, what do you believe would be the hypothetical effect(s) on patient care outcomes? How will health information systems support those improvements in patient care? D. What do you think the hypothetical effect of the quality or performance initiative will be on the culture of safety within the organization Guidelines for Submission: Submit assignment as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.

Dynamic Weight Loss Co. offers personal weight reduction consulting services to individuals. After all the accounts have been closed on June 30, 20Y7, the end of the fiscal year, the balances of selected accounts from the ledger of Dynamic Weight Loss are as follows:

Prepare a classified balance sheet that includes the correct balance for Cash. Land must be entered as the first fixed asset. Be sure to complete the statement heading. Refer to the Instructions and the list of Labels and Amount Descriptions for the exact wording of text entries. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. You will not need to enter colons (:) or the word "Less" on the balance sheet; they will automatically insert where necessary.

vA 15-year-old female is admitted to the hospital with a concussion after a biking accident. During the admission assessment, the patient confides in the RN that she doesn’t wear a helmet when she rides her bike. A nursing care plan has been developed using the NANDA-I nursing diagnosis Deficient Knowledge related to insufficient information about hazards of biking as evidenced by patient statement, “I don’t wear a helmet when I bike.” The outcome: The patient will verbalize the importance of wearing a helmet when biking before discharge. • Describe safety concerns related to this developmental stage. • Identify three (3) interventions that would help this patient achieve the outcome. • Include your rationale for each intervention. • If the outcome is not met, how will you change the plan of care? Base your initial post on your readings and research of this topic. Your initial post must contain a minimum of 250 words. References, citations, and repeating the question do not count towards the 250 word minimum.

The Context:

If Cambridge Software Corporation (CSC) offers only one version of Modeler, they maximize their profit from the software if they sell the Industrial version at $600. However, two market segments – ‘Small Businesses’ and ‘Students’ remain uncovered in that case. If CSC wants to cover the entire market they must offer the Student version at a price of $50. CSC cannot offer the Student version at price $50 replacing the Industrial version at $600, as the profitability of the firm is more in the latter case. Confronted with this scenario, CSC might think of offering multiple versions.

Project Questions 1.

If CSC offers Student version at price $50, should they offer the Industrial version along with it, or the Commercial version?

2. What should be the price of the other version offered along with Student version, if the Student version is priced at $50?

3. Can CSC offer all three versions? Provide reasons to your answer.

Submission Requirements

i. A excel file containing the calculations.

ii. A project report (within 400 words) in MS-Word.

Python please

Write a function that takes a string as an argument checks whether it is a palindrome. A palindrome is a word that is the same spelt forwards or backwards. Use similar naming style e.g. name_pal. E.g. If we call the function as abc_pal(‘jason’) we should get FALSE and if we call it a abc_pal(‘pop’) we should get TRUE.

Hint: define your function as abc_pal(str). This indicates that string will be passed. Next create two empty lists L1=[] and L2=[] . Also create counter and set it to zero (e.g. i = 0). Now use a while loop e.g. while i < len(str) and use the append method to fill both empty lists i.e. List1.append(str[i]] and for list2 you need to reverse the order of filling i.e. L2 will be filled from the last letter to the first letter of the argument string. Lastly check if L1 is equal to L2 if the string is an anagram, simply use return L1==L2 this will return TRUE or FALSE as the case may be.

Carina buys two goods, food F and clothing C, with the utility function U = FC + F. Her marginal utility of food is MU_F= C + 1 and her marginal utility of clothing is MU_C= F. She has an income of 20. The price of clothing is 4.

a) Her demand for food is represented by F = 20/P_F , where P_F is price for Food. True/False.

b) Calculate the income effects on Carina’s consumption of food when the price of food rises from 1 to 4.

c) Calculate the substitution effects on Carina’s consumption of food when the price of food rises from 1 to 4.

d) Determine the numerical size of the compensating variation (in monetary terms) associated with the increase in the price of food from 1 to 4.

Hint: Write the answers for b, c ,d as integer.  

Write the answer for (a) in one word. Note that the answers are spelling sensitive. Please write the spelling of the answers as stated on the questions. (e.g: If your answer is decreases, then in the box write decreases, not decrease.)
