B.Y. is a 78 year-old woman that was brought to the ER of her local hospital when she developed symptoms of a stroke. Her neighbor had checked on her and found that she couldn’t speak or move her right arm. The neighbor knows B.Y. quite well and told the ambulance crew that B.Y. had stopped taking her Toprol XL a few weeks ago because it made her feel so tired. She’d stopped taking her daily aspirin because it upset her stomach. The Toprol XL was prescribed for atrial fibrillation and the aspirin to prevent clot formation from atrial fibrillation.

In the hospital, B.Y. was determined to have had a stroke and was admitted to the neuro floor for further treatment. She was started on subcutaneous heparin and an intravenous beta blocker. Because she was unable to swallow, a nasogastric tube was placed and she was started on 2 tablespoons of an antacid TID through the tube. All further medications were given by the parenteral route, including a BID medication to prevent ulcers and a QID pain reliever. She also had an order for an acetaminophen rectal suppository, 500 mg., if fever of >101 degrees developed. On her third hospital day, she developed an arrhythmia and her physician ordered lidocaine to be given intravenously immediately.

8. What conclusions about the ulcer prevention medications half-life could you reach, based of the dose frequency? 9. What kind of a drug classification is “beta blocker,” a therapeutic or pharmacological classification? 10. Was a topical medication contraindicated with this patient? 11. Which of her orders were “standing orders?” 12. Were there any STAT orders for this patient? Are/Is such an order(s) also single order(s)? 13. Which orders were routine orders? 14. Did she have any prn orders? If so, which ones were prn? 15. How many milliliters per dose of the antacid did she get through her nasogastric tube?

A retail corporation wants to know how often a customer returns items in a year. The company’s data analytics team analyzed customers’ shopping behavior and came up with three categories of customers. Customers in category 1 do not return items often. Customers in category 2 return some items, and customers in category 3 heavily return items. Suppose that the data analytics team modeled the number of returns in each category of customers according to a Poisson process with rates λ1 = 1 per year, λ2 = 4 per year, and λ3 = 10 per year for categories 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Category 1 customers constitute 30% of the customer base of this retail corporation, whereas Category 2 and 3 customers constitute 60% and 10% of the customer base, respectively.

(a) What is probability that the company gets 10 returned items from a customer during 2019 and 2020 (this time period includes both years 2019 and 2020)? Do NOT calculate a number. Just write an expression for this probability.

(b) Compute the mean and variance of the number of returned items for a customer during 2019 and 2020.

(c) Now consider a category 2 customer. Compute the mean and variance of the number of returned items for this customer (=a category 2 customer) during 2019 and 2020.

(d) Given that a customer returns 10 items in his or her first 2 years, what is the probability this is a category 2 customer? Do NOT calculate a number. Just write an expression for this probability.

Consider the following independent situations, all of which apply to audits of entities for the year ended 31 December 2019:

(i) In July 2019, Alpha Ltd started using a new general ledger software package. The Financial Controller is impressed with the new system, because management accounts are easily produced and allow detailed comparisons with budgets and prior-period figures across product lines and geographical areas. The conversion to the new system went smoothly. As it is a popular computer package, it required only minor modifications.

(ii) As part of a computer systems conversion in Beta Ltd, the position of Systems Administrator was created. This position is responsible for all systems maintenance, including data backups and modifications. These tasks were previously the responsibility of the Accountant.

(iii) Gamma Ltd is a large supermarket chain with outlets in all major cities in the country. In August 2019 Gamma Ltd contracted out its payroll data processing in each city to an independent computer service provider.

(iv) Delta Ltd is a long established firm which has been operating a hotel for over 10 years. During this time, it has adopted a conservative business strategy that has seen it produce adequate, though slightly unimpressive, results. A new CEO was appointed to run the firm from September 2019. He has already released his plans for renovating the hotel, despite not officially serving as CEO yet. You have also heard him discuss the implementation of a new marketing strategy to improve occupancy rates.

Required:

For each situation (i) to (iv) above.

(a) State whether Inherent Risk, Control Risk or Detection Risk have increased or decreased.

(b) Provide an explanation for your answer in (a)
