Clara is a clerk at a retail outlet. She earns $35,000 a year. She is allowed to work her schedule around her daughter's school athletic events, and because she has seniority over the other clerks, rarely has to work holidays.

Jeff is a new designer for an engineering firm. He earns $75,000 a year. He must be at the office Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 5:00. His wife attends all their children's school events. His job is stressful, and if a project is due, he often works weekends and sometimes holidays, although from home.

How would you compare Clara and Jeff's levels of job satisfaction? Describe how you would measure their satisfaction and name at least three major job attitudes that play a part in each of their satisfaction levels

Case 1:
A 45-year-old man with a history of depression presented to the ED with the complaint of feeling suicidal. The patient had cut himself after an argument with his wife. His family called 911; the police and EMS responded and transported him to the ED. The initial suicide screening revealed that the patient did not want to live and intended to kill himself. Because of this initial screening, the ED nurse initiated “high risk behavioral health precautions.” The physician ordered labs, suicide precautions with one-on-one observation, and evaluation by the on-call mental health counselor. Everyone agreed that the patient was at high risk of suicide and would require inpatient psychiatric admission.

The medical record showed that the patient was “placed in a gown and a safe ED room” and that suicide precautions were initiated. The ED nurse charting — performed at 15-minute intervals — indicated that security was at the patient’s bedside. While awaiting psychiatric admission and after several hours of observation, security briefly left the patient’s room; they returned to find the patient unresponsive, cyanotic, and hanging from the cardiac monitor with the monitor wires wrapped around his neck. The patient did not survive despite a code blue resuscitation.

Question 1. What went wrong?

Question 2: What should have happened?

Case 2:
Before a thorough evaluation could take place, a suicidal patient in the ED started screaming at the nurses that she wanted to leave. The patient was restrained supine by all four limbs. The 2 beds in the ED designated for behavioral health patients were full, so they put the patient in a procedure room, away from the nurse’s station. Since the patient was screaming and yelling, the ED staff was happy to isolate the patient in a room. The staff allowed her to keep her clothes on so as not to agitate her any further. They did not find weapons on her, but they also did not perform a diligent search for other objects that could be used to inflict harm.

Question 3. What went wrong?
Question 4: Review TJC National Patient Safety Goal
A.   Identify the specific goals that addresses suicide
B.   Research and review the elements of performance for the standard

The financial report of Allgreen Ltd, a company incorporated in Singapore, for the year ended 31 December 2018, contained the following disclosure: Foreign currency – Effective 1 January 2019, the Malaysian Ringgit became the functional currency for translating the financial statements of Allgreen’s 59% owned Malaysian subsidiary Allgreen Sendirian Berhad. Economic factors and circumstances related to Allgreen Sendirian Berhad’s operations have changed significantly since the last quarter of 2018. It is deemed that Allgreen Sendirian Berhad is now an independent and relatively self-contained subsidiary. Under these circumstances, these changes require a change in Allgreen Sendirian Berhad’s functional currency from the Singapore dollar to the Malaysian Ringgit. The Malaysian Ringgit has generally depreciated steadily over the past decade with respect to the Singapore dollar. As a result of the change, at 1 January 2019, Allgreen Ltd’s shareholders’ equity and minority interest accounts were reduced by $156 million and $108 million respectively. These amounts were driven principally by a reduction in fixed assets.

(a) Show why the change in functional currency reduced Allgreen Ltd’s fixed assets, shareholders’ equity and minority interest.

(b) Discuss how the change in functional currency affects each of the following, as reported in Allgreen Ltd’s financial statements:

(i) Sales

(ii) Cost of goods sold

(iii) Depreciation expense
