A female older adult visits the clinic. The client states she was cleaning the kitchen, scrubbing the floor, and felt her "insides coming out." She says "it feels very uncomfortable and heavy." The nurse prepares the client for a vaginal examination and assists her into a lithotomy position. The client states that she "cannot lie like this.
The nurse changes the client's position and proceeds with the assessment. The nurse observes the uterus protruding from the vagina. The cervix appears dry. The nurse also observes urinary incontinence when the client coughs.

1. What is the most appropriate position for this client?
2. What should the nurse teach the client?
3. What is the most appropriate nursing diagnosis for this client?
4. What should the nurse instruct the client to do to help with urinary incontinence?
5. What comfort measures can the nurse offer this client during the assessment?

Problem 1

Whether the stock goes up tomorrow depends upon whether it increased today and yesterday. If the stock increased today and yesterday, it will decrease tomorrow with probability α1 . If the stock increased today and decreased yesterday, it will decrease tomorrow with probability α2. If the stock decreased today and increased yesterday, it will decrease tomorrow with probability α3. Finally, if the stock decreased today and yesterday, it will decrease tomorrow with probability α4.

a) Define the states for a Markov chain that represent this system.

b) Construct the (one-step) transition matrix of the Markov chain.

c) Explain why the states used for this Markov chain cause the mathematical definition of the Markovian property to hold even though what happens in the future (tomorrow) depends upon what happened in the past (yesterday) as well as the present (today).

The Texas Constitution limits the length of the legislative session to minimize the scope of government. Most other states provide annual regular legislative sessions. Texas is among only five states with biennial legislative sessions. The state has grown immensely in the intervening 200 years. The population has exploded, the economy larger than all but twelve nations, and the needs of the state have diversified. In a massive, complex, and growing state like Texas, a biennial session for only four months is not a sufficient amount of time to craft, consider, and confer on important legislation. Legislation may be hastily written, poorly researched, or insufficiently debated. Should Texas switch to an annual legislative session? Why or why not?

Boards of nursing oversee nursing licensure by defining _________ standards, investigating violations of the nurse practice act, sanctioning those who violate the nurse practice act, and suspending or revoking licenses. The National Council for the State Boards of Nursing creates the __________ examinations.

The mutual recognition model of nurse licensure allows a nurse to have a single license that confers the privilege to practice in other states that are part of the Nurse Licensure _______. The nurse is held accountable for following the laws and rules of the ________in which the nurse practices or where the client is located. It is similar to the driver's license model: A single license to drive is issued in the state of primary residency, but this license also allows the privilege to drive in other compact states. Multistate licensure privilege means the authority to practice nursing in another state that has signed a ___________ compact. It is not an additional __________.

You are a homeowner and you have decided to invest some time into developing a temperature control system in your house instead of paying someone to do this work. You have available to you a microcontroller of your choice a well developed Kernel and your task is to write software to perform the temperature measurements and adjust the temperature accordingly. Provide a list of tasks you would need to realize your project (you can consider interrupts service routines to be tasks as well). Note:You do not have to write any code to solve this problem, but you must list the tasks you will need and draw a block diagramof the software system (show the states you could operate in and how your tasks can get into and out of those states. (Use the ideas used in the mC/OS-II or mCOS).

1. New information obtained through research or experimentation that enables an updating or revision of the state-of-nature probabilities is known as

conditional probability.

joint probability.

sample information.

expected utility.

2.__________ refer to the probabilities of the states of nature after revising the prior probabilities based on sample information.

Preliminary probabilities

Joint probabilities

Posterior probabilities

Perfect probabilities

3._____ refers to the probability of one event, given the known outcome of a (possibly) related event.

Joint probability

Decisive probability

Conditional probability

A priori probability

4.Bayes’ theorem

enables the use of sample information to revise prior probabilities.

is useful for determining optimal decisions without requiring knowledge of probabilities of the states of nature.

can be used only for cases where conditional probabilities are unknown.

cannot be used to calculate posterior probabilities.

overall economic condition affect return of common stocks. suppose a financial analyst believes that four states of the national economy are possible and each state has an equal probability of occurrence. The estimate returns of two stocks GM and IBM under these four states of economy are presented in the following table.

state of economy.            return of gm. return of ibm
negative real growth.       -11%                        -3%
zero economic growth.      4.                             17
modest real growth.            9.                             21
high economic growth.       28.                            23

1 calculate the expected return of these two stocks.

2 calculate the standard deviation of return of these two stocks.

3 calculate the correlation off gm and IBM

4 determine the expected return and standard deviation of return of the following portfolio: 70% invested in gm and 30% in ibm.

Question 5

(a) A proton and an electron recombine to form atomic hydrogen in the n=3 state. What is the energy and wavelength of the photon emitted? In the n=3 states, what are the different orbital levels which are possible? And what is the total number of different states available for each of those orbital levels?

(b) From the (n,l,m)=(3,0,0) state, the electron de-excites to the n=1 level. What are all of the different transitions that the electron could make to reach there? Which ones are possible and why? What is the wavelength and energy of those transitions?

(c) For a transition from the n=3 to n=1 state, what is the difference in wavelength if the nucleus is deuterium instead of hydrogen? What if it is carbon with a single electron? Or an isotope of carbon with an atomic weight = 13?

I've read the shell theorem during gravitation lectures, i.e. I know it states that the net gravitational field inside a 3D spherical shell or a uniform 2D ring is zero.

Now, assume a thin spherical shell. If I put a particle inside the shell, so that it was infinitesimally close to one of the regions of the shell, shouldn't the particle move towards the shell and touch the portion of the shell it was closest to? (Since as the distance goes to zero, the magnitude of the field between the particle and that portion of the shell should be very high, when compared to the field from other regions.)

But in the same case if I apply the shell theorem, the particle shouldn't move at all! Since it states the net gravitational field inside the shell is zero.

Can anybody explain this difference, or if there isn't any, how am I wrong?

1. The following data are claims (in $millions) for Blue cross Blue shield benefits benefits for nine states, along with the surplus (in $millions) that the company had in assets in those states.

State                  Claims          Surplus

Alabama               1425              277

Colorado                 273              100

Florida                   915             120

Illinois                  1687              259

Maine                     234                40

Montana                 142                25

North Dakota          259               57

Oklahoma               258               31

Texas                       894             141

Use the data to compute a correlation coefficient, to determine the correlation   between claims and surplus. Interpret the results accordingly explain all variables under study along with their significance. Further explain entire concept of Correlation using 5 real life situations which explains the concept of correlation in detail. Make use of appropriate reference and enrich your literature review appropriately
