Write a response on a Professional Issue within Nursing of your choosing. Select a minimum of two (2) research articles from scholarly, peer-reviewed (refereed) journals regarding the Professional Issue and its relevance to current nursing practice. The assignment can compare and contrast the different sides to an issue, provide support to one side of an issue, or to create an action plan of how to manage a situation. Use critical thinking to analyze and evaluate the issue chosen. The articles must be current to within the past seven (7) years.

Some examples of Professional Issues within Nursing include, but are not limited to: • Access to healthcare • Nurse to Nurse Bullying • Disparities in healthcare • Health insurance coverage, health care financial concerns or fiscal responsibility • Importance of orientation to retention of nurses • Infections (CAUTI, sepsis), staffing needs, and scheduling practices and other safety concerns • Malpractice or other legal responsibilities • Withdrawing treatment vs. Advanced directives and other ethical concerns • The move toward more community care and other community concerns • Ideas on how to deal with conflict or have difficult discussions, how to use therapeutic communication in the workplace, giving specific examples.

Assignment Overview IN C++ This assignment will give you practice with numerical calculations, simple input/output, and if-else statements. Candy Calculator [50 points] The Harris-Benedict equation estimates the number of calories your body needs to maintain your weight if you do no exercise. This is called your basal metabolic rate or BMR. The calories needed for a woman to maintain her weight is: BMR = 655 + (4.3 * weight in pounds) + (4.7 * height in inches) - (4.7 * age in years) The calories needed for a man to maintain his weight is: BMR = 66 + (6.3 * weight in pounds) + (12.9 * height in inches) - (6.8 * age in years) A typical chocolate bar will contain around 230 calories. Write a program that allows the user to input their weight in pounds, height in inches, and age in years. Ask the user to input the string “M” if the user is a man and “W” if the user is a woman. Use only the male formula to calculate calories if “M” is entered and use only the female formula to calculate calories if “W” is entered. Ask the user if he or she is: A. Sedentary B. Somewhat active (exercise occasionally) C. Active (exercise 3-4 days per week) D. Highly active (exercise every day) If the user answers “Sedentary” then increase the calculated BMR by 20 percent. If the user answers “Somewhat active” then increase the calculated BMR by 30 percent. If the user answers “Active” then increase the calculated BMR by 40 percent. Finally, if the user answers “Highly active” then increase the calculated BMR by 50 percent. The program should then output the number of chocolate bars based on the BMR value that should be consumed to maintain one’s weight for both a woman and a man. Input Errors If the user enters an age either < 1 or > 100, instantly end the program with an error message. If the user enters a height < 10 or > 100, instantly end the program with an error message. If the user enters a weight < 10 or > 500, instantly end the program with an error message. You can assume that the user does not type some non-numeric value. You don't have to test for this kind of non-numeric error. If the user does not enter ‘M' for male calculation or 'F' for female calculation, instantly end the program with an error message. If the user does not enter A, B, C, or D when prompted, instantly end the program with an error message. These limits must be defined as symbolic constants, which should be used throughout the program. Submit at least three sample runs that show possible run-time errors. Also demonstrate the capacity to get a single letter from the user, showing at least one user-input error (an illegal choice) and one bad numeric input (out-of-range error).

JK Products is evaluating an investment in either of two competing projects that will allow the company to eliminate a production bottleneck and meet the growing demand for its products. The company’s engineering department narrowed the alternatives down to two –MD and HD. A project specialist developed the following estimates of cash flows for MD and HD over the relevant six-year time horizon. The company has an 11% required return and views these projects as equally risky.

Required:

2.1.Calculate the net present value (NPV) of each project, assess its acceptability and indicate which project is best, using NPV.

2.2. Calculate the internal rate (IRR) of each project, assess its acceptability and indicate which project is best, using IRR.

2.3.Calculate the profitability index (PI) of each project, assess its acceptability, and indicate which project is best, using PI.

2.4.Draw the NPV profile project SQ and HT on the same set of axes and use this diagram to explain why the NPV and the IRR show differences for these two mutually exclusive projects. Discuss this difference in terms of both the “scale problem” and the “timing problem”.

2.5.Which of the two mutually exclusive projects would you recommend that JK Products undertake? Why?

1.

a. You are creating an index for the four following stocks:

What is the one day return for the index if it is price-weighted? Present your answer as the percent change from t=0 to t=1 to the nearest two decimals in this format, 1.23%

b.

What is the one day return for the index if it is market capitalization-weighted? Present your answer as the percent change from t=0 to t=1 to the nearest two decimals in this format, 1.23%

c.

Suppose that at the conclusion on t=1 trading day, stock ABC does a 2:1 stock split, what is the new divisor for your price-weighted index? Present your answer rounded to the nearest two digits like this, 1.23

Problem 2-37 Free Cash Flow (LG2-5)

The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the construction of an adjoining community. A political study took a sample of 1200 voters in the town and found that 45% of the residents favored construction. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is not equal 48%. Testing at the 0.01 level, is there enough evidence to support the strategist's claim?
