The cash account for Brentwood Bike Co. at May 1 indicated a balance of $13,350. During May, the total cash deposited was $66,800 and checks written totaled $62,020. The bank statement indicated a balance of $22,650 on May 31. Comparing the bank statement, the canceled checks, and the accompanying memos with the records revealed the following reconciling items:

Checks outstanding totaled $10,090.

A deposit of $8,220, representing receipts of May 31, had been made too late to appear on the bank statement.

The bank had collected for Brentwood Bike Co. $4,340 on a note left for collection. The face of the note was $4,010.

A check for $270 returned with the statement had been incorrectly charged by the bank as $720.

A check for $970 returned with the statement had been recorded by Brentwood Bike Co. as $790. The check was for the payment of an obligation to Adkins Co. on account.

Bank service charges for May amounted to $60.

A check for $1,000 from Jennings Co. was returned by the bank because of insufficient funds.

There are a number of credible sources of information that someone could use to learn more about the science of a topic like cancer. The Internet is often a good place to start, but you have to be careful about whether a source of information is reliable. The C.R.A.P. Test () is a useful tool to check the Currency, Reliability, Authority, and Purpose of Internet sources. Here are a few sites you can begin with, but there are certainly many others. Use the websites and videos to learn more about cancer and find information that will help you answer the questions below.

Questions

1. What is cancer and how does it relate to the cell cycle?

2. What are proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, and how do they contribute to cancer?

3. What are some things that might make a person have a higher risk of developing cancer?

4. What are some of the major steps that occur in the progression from a single cancer cell to a tumor and then to many tumors spreading throughout the body?

5. As tumors grow and spread, the cells undergo a number of changes. How might the cells in a late-stage tumor be different from the original cell that became cancerous?

6. Why are different types of cancers named based on where in the body they originate (breast cancer, skin cancer, bone cancer, etc.)? Why does it matter from which organ or tissue type cancer developed?

To meet rising demands for health care, a new form of clinics has begun to emerge: clinics run by nurse practitioners says the New York Times.

• About 250 health clinics across America are now completely run by nurse practitioners.
• These nurses require a master's degree that includes two or three years of advanced training in treating and diagnosing diseases.
• A new proposal endorsed by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing for 2015 would require nurse practitioners to have a doctorate of nursing practice.

Many of these nurse practitioners are limited in what they can and can't do based on state law. In some states, nurse practitioners are completely free to treat patients and give prescriptions. However, some states won't allow these clinics without at least one trained physician.

These clinics staffed with nurse practitioners offer an avenue for alleviating some of the strain being put on primary care physicians. Indeed, the Affordable Care Act will bring 32 million uninsured people into the health system and there aren't enough primary care physicians to cover them. Furthermore, physicians are poorly distributed, many of them opting to work in urban areas rather than rural towns.

Some critics of having nurse practitioners run clinics argue that the quality of care is compromised for patients.

• However, data has shown nurse practitioners provide good quality care.
• One-hundred and eighteen published studies over 18 years found that nurse practitioner-led clinics were at the least equivalent, if not better, when compared to doctor-led clinics.

Moreover, nurse-led clinics are cheaper than traditional doctor-led practices. Furthermore, these clinics are small and don't need a variety of practitioners to keep the clinic at full capacity. Finally, nurse practitioner-led clinics provide patients with an alternative to the emergency room, which results in large savings.

Question:

Discuss your position and analyze how this problem could become a major problem and affect more Americans in the future.

1. What type of research design is used in this study (e.g., cross-sectional, longitudinal,

experimental, correlational, or naturalistic observation)? Is this

design appropriate?

2. What explanation do the researchers offer for their findings? Does this explanation

make sense based on the evidence?

3. Given the results of this study, why can’t the researchers draw a causal connection

between behavior disorders and temperament?

4. Can you think of an alternative explanation for the results of this study?

Critical Thinking Activity: Early Temperament Style and Later Adjustment Problems

Now that you have read and reviewed Chapter 7, take your learning a step further

by testing your critical thinking skills on this scientific reasoning exercise.

A study by Caspi and others (1995)* revealed that temperamental style in early

childhood might be linked to adjustment problems during adolescence. The study

involved a cohort of 1,037 children born between April 1, 1972, and March 31,

1973, in Dunedin, New Zealand.

At ages 3, 5, 7, and 9, the behavior of each child was rated in terms of 22

aspects of temperament, including emotional stability, restlessness, self-reliance,

persistence, negativism, passivity, shyness, self-confidence, emotional flatness,

and 13 other dimensions. To assess behavior problems in the sample, the

researchers relied on outcome data from teachers and parents who rated the children

at ages 9, 11, 13, and 15 on two widely used behavior problem checklists.

These checklists included subscales measuring anxiety/withdrawal, which represents

feelings of inferiority and failure; attention problems, which reflect difficulty

in concentration skills; conduct disorder, which reflects aggressiveness and

alienation; and socialized delinquency, which reflects norm-violating tendencies.

For both boys and girls, lack of control at ages 3 and 5 showed a significant

positive correlation wth teacher and parent reports of antisocial behavior and

conduct disorder at ages 9 and 11. In addition, boys and girls characterized as

lacking in control in early childhood were less likely to be rated in adolescence as

mature and confident.

The authors suggest several possible explanations for these intriguing results.

One is that certain temperamental characteristics in young children are actually

early, “subclinical” manifestations of more extreme behavior disorders. Whatever

the correct explanation, the results of this extensive study suggest that early temperament

may have remarkably specific predictive validity for the development of

behavior problems during adolescence.
