Mike L., a 47-year-old man, went to his physician for an annual physical that had been postponed for over 3 years. He had started his own business 4 years ago and had been extremely busy getting it established. Mike’s medical history indicated he was a nonsmoker, and his father and grandfather had histories of myocardial infarctions before age 55. Since she had not seen this patient in a number of years, the physician decided to order routine screening tests.

CHEMISTRY RESULTS:

URINALYSIS:

1. Indicate the abnormal results

2. Which conditions listed for question 2 can the physician rule out with Mike’s medical history, physical examination, and current laboratory results?

3. What is the most probable cause of the abnormal result in this patient.

A 78-year-old man was admitted with pneumonia hyponatremia. Plasma Na concentration was initially 129 meq/L, decreasing within 3 days to 118-120 meq/L despite fluid restriction to 1 liter/day. A chest CT scan revealed a right 2.8 x 1.6 cm infrahilar mass and post obstructive pneumonia. The patient was active smoker. Past medical history was notable for laryngeal carcinoma treated 15-yearsprior with radiation therapy, renal carcinoma, peripheral vascular disease, and hypothyroidism. On review of system, he denied headache, nausea and vomiting. He had chronic hip pain, managed with acetaminophen. Other medications include cilostasol, amoxicillin, digoxin, diltiazem, and thyroxine. He was euvolemic on examination, with no lymphadenopathy and a normal chest examination.

Laboratory Results:

Na-120

TSH-2.6

K-4.3

Uric acid-2.7 mg/dl

cl-89

Bun-8

Crea-1.0

Glucose-93

Mg-2.0

Phos-2.8

Ca-8.9

Alb-31

The patient was treated with furosemide 20 mg PO BID and salt tablets. The plasma Na concentration increased to Na meq/L with this therapy: How ever the patient developed orthostatic hypotension and dizziness. He was stated on demeclocycline, 600 mg PO in the morning and 300 mg in the evening, just before discharge from hospital. Plasma concentration increase to140 meq/L with Bun of 23 and crea of 1.4 at which point demeclocycline was reduced to300 mg POBID. Bronchoscopic biopsy eventually showed small lung cancer. The patient declined chemotherapy and was discharged.

Create a conceptual map using the case scenarios as guide. Conceptual map should include pathophysiology, medical diagnosis, signs and symptoms, and risk factors, if any. Nursing diagnosis, nursing interventions, medical management (medication and procedures), expected outcomes.

Which of the following are ways that a firm can reduce cash flows in order to prevent managers from wastefully spending excess cash flows? Check all that apply.

Minimizing the amount of debt in the firm’s capital structure so that the firm can borrow money at a reasonable rate when good investment opportunities arise

Increasing the amount of debt in the firm’s target capital structure in the hope that higher debt-service requirements will force managers to be more disciplined

Funneling excess cash flows back to shareholders through higher dividends

Funneling excess cash flows back to shareholders through stock repurchases

Blue Ram Brewing Company currently has no debt in its capital structure, but it is considering using some debt and reducing its outstanding equity. The firm’s unlevered beta is 1.1, and its cost of equity is 11.80%. Because the firm has no debt in its capital structure, its weighted average cost of capital (WACC) also equals 11.80%. The risk-free rate of interest (rRFrRF) is 3%, and the market risk premium (RP) is 8%. Blue Ram’s marginal tax rate is 35%.

Blue Ram is examining how different levels of debt will affect its costs of debt and equity, as well as its WACC. The firm has collected the financial information that follows to analyze its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Complete the following table.

Unsure how to set this up properly in excel?

A cell phone manufacturer claims that the population mean battery life of its flagship smartphone model, the Black Bear, is greater than the population mean battery life of the largest competitor, the Grizzly. A consumer advocacy publication tests this claim by purchasing a random sample of Black Bear smartphones and a random sample of Grizzly smartphones. Members of the publication charged each smartphone to full capacity and then had the smartphones play back the same videos until the batteries were completely depleted. The publication researched the population standard deviation of the battery life from the manufacturers. The population standard deviation for the Black Bear is assumed to be 0.71 hour, and the population standard deviation for the Grizzly is assumed to be 0.63 hour. The results of the battery life test are shown below. Let μ1 be the population mean battery life for the Black Bear and μ2 be the population mean battery life for the Grizzly. If the test statistic is z=1.38, what is the p-value for this hypothesis test?

Which insect repellents protect best against mosquitoes? Consumer reports (June 2000) tested 14 products that all claim to be an effective mosquito repellent. Each product was classified as either lotion/cream or aerosol/spray. The cost of the product (in dollars ) was divided by the amount of the repellent needed to cover exposed areas of the skin *about 1/3 ounce) to obtain a cost-oer0use value. Effectiveness was measured as the maximum number of hours of protection (in half-hour increments) provided when human testers exposed their arms to 200 mosquitoes. The data from the report:

Insect Repellent                              Type   Cost/Use Maximum Protection
Away HourGuard 12            Lotion/Cream       $2.08      13.5 hours
