the 19^th of April 2009, the Venezuelan Lechuza Carakas Polo team was due to appear in the semi-final of the US Open Polo Championship in Florida. The horses of the team were kept at the Lechuza Caracas equestrian facility near the polo grounds in Wellington, about 70 miles north of Miami. When the horses were offloaded from trailers at the polo club in the afternoon, staff discovered that some animals had died and the others were showing severe respiratory problems, incoordination and recumbency.

Even though veterinarians attending the polo event immediately rushed to provide emergency treatment to the animals, 20 of the 21 horses eventually died just prior to the event, during transport to the event, or soon after unloading at the event. One horse that had developed clinical signs was transported to a veterinary clinic but died later that evening.

Investigating the cause of death of the horses

1. investigations confirmed that only the horses from the Venezuelan team were affected and no other horses at the equestrian facility or event premises showed any clinical signs. Clinical signs observed in the affected horses included severe central nervous system symptoms, with hyperexcitability, sweating, tachycardia, dyspnea, fever and sudden death. In the morning of the day of the polo event, the horses were seemingly healthy.

If you had to lead the investigation into the death of these animals, what information would you try to gather or what type of tests would you conduct? What would you speculate could have happened

1 What do newborns come with that allows them to form attachments to their caregivers?

Given: Sodium Carbonate (Volume=2.00 L Mass of Chemical 3.947 g Temperature in Celcius 750 Pressure 1565.6 Torr) Aluminum Carbonate (Volume=1.50 L Mass of Chemical 2.123 g Temperature in Celcius 2200 Pressure 2134.3 Torr)

1. Write balanced equations for the composition of: Na2CO3(s) and Al2(CO3)3

2. Sample calculations for the number of moles og gas "n" produced in the decomposition of the compounds

3. Calculate Averaged Ideal Gas Constant.

Below are my calculations, I know they are incorrect because they are nowhere near the literary Idean Gas Constant which is 0.08206 atm-L/mol-K

2. Na2CO3 (s) --> Na2O(s) + CO2(g) MM= 105.99 (3.947 g Na2CO3 / 105.99g/mol Na2CO3) * (I mole Na2CO3 / 1 mole gas)= 0.037239 mol gas

Al2(CO3)3(s) --> Al2O3(s) + 3CO2(g) MM= 233.99 (2.123 g Al2(CO3)3 / 233.99 g/mol Al2(CO3)3) *(1 mole Al2(CO3)3 / 3 mole gas)= 0.0030243 mol gas

3. R= PV/nT

Na2CO3 R = (1565.6 Torr * 1atm/760 Torr)(2.00 L) / (0.037239 moles)(750+273.15= 1023.15 K)

Al2(CO3)3 R = (2134.3 Torr * 1 atm/760 atm)(2.00 L) / (0.0030243)(2200 + 273.15= 2473.15 K)

1. Donald Trump promised a more aggressive fiscal policy with a large increase in spending and significant tax cuts leading to a much larger government (budget) deficit. The US economy was at near the full employment (the unemployment rate in the US was low below 5%), what do you expect will be the response of the US Central Bank in terms of changes to the cash rate? Explain.

Answer

5. The government (and the central bank) has an easier job of dealing with the macroeconomic impacts of consumers and investors being pessimistic about the future of the economy than the period of stagflation. Do you agree? Explain

Critical Thinking Case Study

NS is a 72-year-old woman who immigrated to the United States from Egypt 5 years ago. She is a widow, has five grown children, and follows Islamic doctrine. She lives with her oldest daughter, and a younger daughter and three sons live near her home. NS is currently hospitalized due to a recent cerebral vascular accident. She has left-sided paralysis. The attending physician tells the patient she should go to a rehabilitation unit for 3 weeks for physical therapy. The oldest daughter is present for the physician’s visit.

Describe three teaching resources what resources can she use to complete teaching?

Identify the teaching strategies that can be used

List the specific instructions that may be needed regarding her medication and what adverse reactions to be aware of/and what to do

Identify two factors that may negatively influence adherence to the medication and how they can be overcome

Mary is a 60-year-old woman who lives alone in the Midwest and works full time. Mary has a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but so far is able to manage it with medications and lifestyle. Her parents Steve and Joan (ages 88 and 85, respectively) live in Florida in their own home. When they moved to Florida more than 20 years ago there were many retired couples nearby, but the neighborhood is changing and has more working class families with young children now. Many of their old friends and neighbors have died or moved. Joan had a stroke several years ago and has right hemiparesis. Joan can do most of her own ADLs with minimal assistance; however, Steve helps her with showering and dressing. He also helps with all Joan’s IADLs, and does all the cooking, laundry, driving, shopping and managing finances. Mary talks with her parents several times each week. She has noticed that her dad seems depressed and his short-term memory has gotten worse. She is concerned about his ability to continue to care for her mom, take care of household tasks, and pay bills. Mary has broached the possibility of having Steve and Joan move to a retirement community near her, but her dad insists that he and Joan are managing just fine. Mary is concerned about their health and safety, but she doesn’t know what to do.
