For this Discussion, review the client in the case study within the Learning Resources. Consider symptoms or signs presented by the client for a diagnosis. Think about how you, as a future professional in the field, might justify your rationale for diagnosis. Consider what other information you may need for diagnosis on the basis of the DSM diagnostic criteria.
Trauma and Stressor Related Disorders
FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, I just keep thinking what if something happens? I mean I've always had trouble concentrating. But this time, it's different.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Different, how?
FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, you know how like you were talking on your cell phone or something and it cuts out. You lose the connection. It's kind of like that. My mind just goes blank.
And when I'm at the hospital and it happens, I flip out. I could give the patient the wrong medication or something. What if it's early dementia? I mean I've read about that happening. I read an article just the other day about people in their 30s and 40s getting that. That's horrible.
FEMALE SPEAKER: It sounds like you're constantly nervous that you'll go blank and that something bad will happen. You mentioned having other symptoms. Like what?
FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, at work, my temper. I flip out on patients sometimes and on other nurses. I just freak out. I even started snapping at my daughter. And that has never happened before.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, I understand. You're feeling anxious. And you're having some temper issues, which are sort of out of character for you. How are things going at home?
FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, I'm not sleeping very well at all. One of my favorite things used to be to curl up at night with a book. But I can't concentrate. I have this whole stack of books by my bedside table. I mean they're history books. And I love reading about history. But I haven't even touched them.
And my husband got so upset the other day because he brought me this kit for scrap-booking, which is something I used to really enjoy doing. But I just took them back to the store. I could not deal with that either.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, it seems like you're not finding relaxation in the things that used to enjoy doing. Now, when you returned your husband's gift, you said that you couldn't deal with that. What exactly couldn't you deal with?
FEMALE SPEAKER: The expense. You have no idea what these scrap-making materials cost. I could spend that much in groceries in a week. And I thought—So that I lie in bed at night at 3:00 AM worrying about, just money, money, money, money, money.
And my husband and I both work. We work really long hours. But it's just not enough. We really should have started saving for college. I mean my eldest is going to start college in a few years. And I don't know what we're going to do. We don't have the money.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Did you talk to your husband about your concerns?
FEMALE SPEAKER: Yeah. Yeah. We talk. Alex, my husband, he's 12 years older than me. I mean we get along fine.
But I worry about him. I mean at work for example, he's been up for this really big promotion. But now it looks like he's not going to get it. And his health, he's got a whole history of early heart attacks in his family. And I just worry about that. I mean he hasn't shown any symptoms or anything. But I really, really, worry that one day something might happen to him. I mean the whole thing just feels like a awful. With care reform now, what if they cut back on my hours at work? And what if I lose my job? Doctor, I cannot afford to lose this job.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Any idea how long you've been having these symptoms, the lack of concentration, trouble sleeping, problems relaxing?
FEMALE SPEAKER: A while. Off and on, I guess. I went to see a counselor when I was in nursing school. I was Ms. Overachiever. I was making straight A's, but I couldn't help but worry that it was never enough.
FEMALE SPEAKER: It sounds like you were feeling the pressure of trying to achieve your career goals. Did the counseling help you?
FEMALE SPEAKER: Yeah. Yeah. I guess it did. I mean I went for a couple of months. And the counselor had me do this body scan exercise. And he suggested I should start meditating. But who had time to meditate. I was too busy making straight A's
With these thoughts in mind:
1. A diagnosis of the client in the case study.
2. Then explain your rationale for assigning this diagnosis on the basis of the DSM diagnostic criteria.
3. Finally, explain what other information you might need about the client to make an accurate diagnosis based on those criteria.

A marketing company based out of New York City is doing well and is looking to expand internationally. The CEO and VP of Operations decide to enlist the help of a consulting firm that you work for, to help collect data and analyze market trends.
You work for Mercer Human Resources. The Mercer Human Resource Consulting website (www.mercer.com) lists prices of certain items in selected cities around the world. They also report an overall cost-of-living index for each city compared to the costs of hundreds of items in New York City (NYC). For example, London at 88.33 is 11.67% less expensive than NYC.
More specifically, if you choose to explore the website further you will find a lot of fun and interesting data. You can explore the website more on your own after the course concludes.
Down below, you will find the 2018 data for 17 cities in the data set Cost of Living. Included are the 2018 cost of living index, cost of a 3-bedroom apartment (per month), price of monthly transportation pass, price of a mid-range bottle of wine, price of a loaf of bread (1 lb.), the price of a gallon of milk and price for a 12 oz. cup of black coffee. All prices are in U.S. dollars.
You use this information to run a Multiple Linear Regression to predict Cost of living, along with calculating various descriptive statistics. This is given in the Excel output (that is, the MLR has already been calculated. Your task is to interpret the data). Based on this information, in which city should you open a second office in? You must justify your answer. If you want to recommend 2 or 3 different cities and rank them based on the data and your findings, this is fine as well. This should be ¾ to 1 page, no more than 1 single-spaced page in length, using 12-point Times New Roman font. You do not need to do any calculations, but you do need to pick a city to open a second location at and justify your answer based upon the provided results of the Multiple Linear Regression. Think of this assignment as the first page of a much longer report, known as an Executive Summary, that essentially summarizes your findings briefly and at a high level. This needs to be written up neatly and professionally. This would be something you would present at a board meeting in a corporate environment.
What is an Executive Summary?
To help you make this decision here are some things to consider:
Based on the MLR output, what variable(s) is/are significant?
From the significant predictors, review the mean, median, min, max, Q1 and Q3 values? It might be a good idea to compare these values to what the New York value is for that variable. Remember New York is the baseline as that is where headquarters are located.
Based on the descriptive statistics, for the significant predictors, what city/cities has the best potential? What city or cities fall above or below the median and/or the mean? What city or cities are in the upper 3rd quartile? Or the bottom quartile? These are some things to consider not necessarily questions you need to answer in your Executive Summary. But they are questions to help guide you along in your analysis

A power plant that supplies a community with electricity costs $1 billion to build, lasts 25 years, and has an annual operating cost of $0.2 billion; it costs $0.1 billion to decommission the plant at the end of its lifetime (25 years). (Assume that the construction costs and the operating costs are paid at the beginning of the period, and that the decommissioning cost is paid at the end of the life of the plant.) The annual discount rate is r, with discount factor ρ = 1 1+r . Write the formula for the present value of the cost of providing this community with electricity for 100 years, including the decommissioning costs. (Hint: First find the present value of providing one unit of electricity for 25 years. Denote this magnitude as Z. Then find the present value of incurring this cost, Z, 4 times: in periods 0, 25, 50, and 75.)

. Many people believe that having more money will make them happy. Dr. Shakespeare designed an experiment in which he randomly and evenly assigned 15 people to three groups. He gave one group nothing, gave the second group a little money, and gave the third group a lot of money. The next day, he asked each group to report their happiness on a mood scale (0-100 with a higher score indicating happier mood). The first group reported an average of 80, the second 90, and the third group 85. Using the SS total provided in the following table to examine if the amount of money has an effect on the perceived happiness (make sure to fill out the ANOVA table). If yes, how? (14pts)
