A 37-year patient comes into the urgent care and presents with chest pain and hyperventilation. During the assessment process, his vitals are recorded, a brief health history is recorded, he is inspected visually from head to toe, asked about current medications and his chief complaints are addressed. Asking him to breathe through pursed lips or into cupped hands alleviates his hyperventilation. He was also given the option to hold his breath for 10-15 seconds at a time. After lying down for a few minutes, there was little relief for his chest pains therefore an ECG was conducted Recurring panic attacks and high levels of anxiety characterize panic disorder.
Panic attacks can occur without warning or stressor however the patient mentioned being stressed due to taking on more responsibilities at work. He was diagnosed with panic attacks and prescribed paroxetine daily and lorazepam prn. Two stress reducing techniques are medication and psychotherapy or cognitive behavior therapy. CBT is a model that challenges negative thinking and behaviors. It is rooted in the idea that attitude impacts behavior (Plehn, 2002). The meditation was not effective whereas the cognitive behavior therapy proved effective. I believe CBT helped because it allowed the patient to share his feelings in a structured yet intimate environment opposed to being alone with meditation. The patient was reminded that each treatment plan is personalized, to remain compliant with his medications, and continue to ask questions.
Respond and explain if you agree or disagree with how they would handle a client who was having severe anxiety. If you do not agree, please provide how they could have approached the client differently, and provide supporting rationale and citations. in 5 paragraph

Mist (airborne droplets or aerosols) is generated when metal-removing fluids are used in machining operations to cool and lubricate the tool and work-piece. Mist generation is a concern to OSHA, which has recently lowered substantially the workplace standard. The article "Variables Affecting Mist Generation from Metal Removal Fluids" (Lubrication Engr., 2002: 10-17) gave the accompanying data on x = fluid flow velocity for a 5% soluble oil (cm/sec) and y = the extent of mist droplets having diameters smaller than some value:
x: 89 177 189 354 362 442 965
y: .40 .60 .48 .66 .61 .69 .99
d. Estimate the true average change in mist associated with a 1 cm/sec increase in velocity, and do so in a way that conveys information about precision and reliability. Hint: This question is asking for a CI for beta. Compute it AND interpret it. By hand; i.e. you must use the basic formulas for the CI. E.g. for beta: beta_hat +- t* s_e/sqrt(S_xx) , but you may use R to compute the various terms in the formula. Use 95% confidence level.
e. Suppose the fluid velocity is 250 cm/sec. Compute an interval estimate of the corresponding mean y value. Use 95% confidence level. Interpret the resulting interval. By hand, as in part d.
f. Suppose the fluid velocity for a specific fluid is 250 cm/sec. Predict the y for that specific fluid in a way that conveys information about precision and reliability. Use 95% prediction level. Interpret the resulting interval. By hand, as in part d.

Clark Industries has a defined benefit pension plan that specifies annual, year-end retirement benefits equal to: 1.3% × Service years × Final year’s salary Stanley Mills was hired by Clark at the beginning of 2002. Mills is expected to retire at the end of 2046 after 45 years of service. His retirement is expected to span 15 years. At the end of 2021, 20 years after being hired, his salary is $88,000. The company’s actuary projects Mills’s salary to be $350,000 at retirement. The actuary’s discount rate is 6%. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Required:
1. Estimate the amount of Stanley Mills’s annual retirement payments for the 15 retirement years earned as of the end of 2021.
2. Suppose Clark’s pension plan permits a lump-sum payment at retirement in lieu of annuity payments. Determine the lump-sum equivalent as the present value as of the retirement date of annuity payments during the retirement period.
3. What is the company’s projected benefit obligation at the end of 2021 with respect to Stanley Mills?
4. Even though pension accounting centers on the PBO calculation, the ABO still must be disclosed in the pension disclosure note. What is the company’s accumulated benefit obligation at the end of 2021 with respect to Stanley Mills?
5. If we assume no estimates change in the meantime, what is the company’s projected benefit obligation at the end of 2022 with respect to Stanley Mills?
6. What portion of the 2022 increase in the PBO is attributable to 2022 service (the service cost component of pension expense) and to accrued interest (the interest cost component of pension expense)?

Warisan Jambu Manufacturer Sdn Bhd
Getting an idea to commercialise the iconic local cuisine in Pekan, Pahang – murtabak (beef stuffed pancake), has initiated the owner of Warisan Jambu Manufacturer Sdn Bhd, Mr Shah to venture into this food-making business. Mr Shah has started his food business since 2002 as an eatery that serving his murtabak products for customers who came either for dining in or took away the mouth-watering local cuisine. After 15 years delved into the food industry, he attempted to transform his current business model (runs a restaurant business) into a frozen food-based business. He has invested a substantial amount of capital to meet all the relevant authorities’ requirements that fit to his business model. Among the apparent challenges faced by Mr Shah are the financial constraints and lack of high skill workers in order to meet the increasing demand of customers mainly in the East Coast region. The company targets to increase its revenue by 25% yearly for the next three years ahead to earn a satisfactory amount of profit. Therefore, Mr Shah makes his effort to identify any business support services from government and other related agencies that could facilitate his business in the future.

1. Wageweb conducts surveys of salary data and presents summaries on its website. Based on salary data as of October 1, 2002, Wageweb reported that the average annual salary for sales vice presidents was $142,111, with an average annual bonus of $15,432. Assume the following data are a sample of the annual salary and bonus for 10 sales vice presidents. Data are in thousands of dollars. Vice President Salary Bonus 1 135 12 2 115 14 3 146 16 4 167 19 5 165 22 6 176 24 7 98 7 8 136 17 9 163 18 10 119 11 a) Develop a scatter diagram for these data with salary as the independent variable, x and bonus as the dependent variable, y. b) What does the scatter diagram developed in part a) indicate about the relationship between salary and bonus? c) Use the least squares method to develop the estimated regression equation. We can call intercept for the regression line, b0 and slope of the regression line, b1. d) Provide an interpretation for the slope of the estimated regression equation. e) Predict the bonus for a vice president with an annual salary of $120,000. f) Compute SST, SSR, and SSE g) Compute the coefficient of determination r2. Comment on the goodness of fit. h) What is the value of the sample correlation coefficient? i) Develop the null and alternative hypothesis to test the linear relationship between salary and bonus j) At the .05 level of significance, determine whether salary and bonus are linearly related. Use the t test. k) Solve the problem in Excel and compare your results.
