A 36-year-old man is admitted to your unit 4 hours after a surgical reduction of a compound fracture of the femur. His other health problems include hypercholesterolemia, for which he takes atorvastatin (Lipitor) 80 mg once daily, and bipolar disorder for which he takes lithium (Eskalith) 600 mg once daily. He has an IV of dextrose 5% in 0.45% saline infusing at a rate of 150 mL/hr. His blood pressure is now 96/70, down from the last reading of 128/80 obtained in the postanesthesia recovery area. His pulse is 84 and regular, and his pulse oximetry is 99%. In assessing him for possible shock, you note that the catheter drainage bag contains 800 mL of pale urine. His last output, measured 1 hour ago, was 1100 mL. According to the operative record, his output during the 3-hour surgery was 1800 mL. His total IV intake for the surgical and postoperative period was 1500 mL. He is to have his IV and Foley catheter removed when stable.

1. Is his output cause for concern? Provide a rationale for your response.

2. Will you discontinue the IV and/or the Foley? Why or why not?

3. What symptoms of shock are present?

4. What are the possible causes of his urine output volume? 5. What is your best course of action?

Option 2 – the Bad Newsletter

Background

Jennifer Guyan has applied to your company in the position of a salesperson. However, you have decided to offer the position to another candidate who has more experience selling your company’s products. Jennifer is your Marketing Manager’s niece, so it is very important that you give Jennifer some feedback on why she was not chosen for the position (she needs more experience with selling your particular products and would also benefit from a training program offered by your head office). While you want to give her constructive feedback in the letter, it’s also a good idea to invite her to meet with you in person if she wants further advice in applying for future openings in the company. Write the letter to Jennifer remembering to use the indirect format for bad news communication.

The erosion rate of a streambank is calculated by the excess shear stress equation: e=k(a-c) where e is the erosion rate in m/s, k is the erodibility coefficient in m^3/ N s, a is the applied shear stress (Pa) and c is the critical shear stress (Pa). The applied shear stress is calculated using the equation a=den*g*d*s where den is the density of water (1000 kg/m^3), g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), d is the depth of water (m) and s is the bed slope (m/m). The critical shear stress is a function of the silt and clay content of the streambank and is calculated using the following equation: c=0.1+0.1779(SC%)+0.0028(SC%)2-2.34E-5(SC%)3 where SC% is the percent of the streambank that is silt and clay. The erodibility coefficient is calculated using the equation k=0.20*c^-0.5. Develop a program in MATLAB that calculates the erosion rate of a streambank. The user should enter the following values: depth of water, bed slope and percent of silt and clay. The program should write out “The erosion rate is:”, the rate calculated and the units. Test the program using the following: d=1, s=.001, SC=35 and d=0.1, s=.004, SC=50. Document the erosion rate. Paste all input and output code into this Word document.

Pages 84-85 of the book list the keys to success for the implementation stage of strategic planning. Pick five(5) of these questions to explain in your own word. Why are they important? What happens if they're ignored?

Below are the questions:

1. A well-defined strategic planning process.

2. Clear and visible executive support, sponsorship, and involvement.

3. An empowered strategic planning team.

4. Involvement of all levels of the organization (inclusive not exclusive approach).

5. Thorough analysis of internal and external competitive data (while some information is the same at the top level of strategic planning, additional data are required as you go though the varying levels of an organization, particularly when it comes to organizational strengths and weaknesses).

6. Clear priorities and a strategic plan with both strategic and tactical objectives.

7. Implementation plan (spelling out the cost, duration, priority order, and accountability for each strategy and tactic). This phase of strategic planning is part of the tactical playbook for day-to-day activities telling employees the priorities and presenting the logic for actions they need to take in their daily work.

8. Review, reevaluation, and revision of the strategic plan, yearly at a minimum, quarterly more optimally, and even more often in fast-moving environments.

9. An organizational understanding of how to do strategic planning with the adjacent under- standing of the need for strategic planning.

10. A commitment to change.

Suppose that you have been hired by the UF student health services department to design a cohort study to assess the following hypothesis among UF students: Irregular sleep patterns increase the risk of headaches.

please note key word is "DESIGN A COHORT STUDY" not a case control study. chegg answered the same question but for case-control design. i need help for the cohort study though same questions

Be sure that your design addresses the following elements:

1. Refine the study hypothesis so that it is as specific as possible and contains all elements of a “good” hypothesis.
2. How will you identify and define the cases?
   • Are there any exclusion criteria that you would apply?
3. How will you sample from the underlying population for your “controls”?
   • Who will you select as controls?
   • How will you select them?

4. How will you define the exposure of interest?
   • How will you collect the information on exposure?
5. What other information do you want to know about participants that may be related to the exposure of interest and/or the outcome (potential confounders)? Of these, what will you be able to collect and what will you be unable to collect?
6. Which measures of disease frequency and association will you calculate?
7. What are the strengths and limitations of your study?
   • Which limitations could be removed by using a different study design?
8. What other information would you like to know to design this study?
