A beaker with 1.10×10² mL of an acetic acid buffer with a pH of 5.000 is sitting on a benchtop. The total molarity of acid and conjugate base in this buffer is 0.100 M. A student adds 4.90 mLof a 0.380 M HCl solution to the beaker. How much will the pH change? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.740.

Express your answer numerically to two decimal places. Use a minus ( − ) sign if the pH has decreased.

Device Selection – No other Phase Is More Important: Mobile Nursing Devices

Case Study: Our story began almost 2 years ago. As a consultant, this author participated in a team that completed a device needs assessment for the selection of point-of-care documentation devices for Big Healthcare System (BHS). Our consultant team was engaged because of an unsatisfactory response from an employee to a member of the facility’s board of directors. The question was “How did we arrive at the decision to select these certain machines that you are asking $1.7 million to purchase?”

Our Team defined the following metrics for device selection:

• Device form factor analysis (workstations on wheels [WOWs], tables, other handheld devices)
• Space availability within patient rooms during use and storage
• Provisions for spare machines
• Downtime strategies
• Analysis of various clinician usage and preferences
• Wireless networking capacity and coverage
• Integration with bar coding and scanning technologies
• Electrical outlet availability (location and quantity)
• Reallocation of existing desktop machines for physician usage

In total, this process was completed over the course of eight weeks, and upon presentation to the board of directors, out team literally received a standing ovation. Upon completion of our work, we presented our strategy and success around device selection, and the abstract of this write-up received a national award.

Based on this success, there was great confidence in our processes. In a new opportunity for a similar device selection process as part of a larger project at a Regional Community Hospital (RCH) in the West, we expected to repeat our success. The project was initiated, and RCH built a team of invested, skilled, and knowledgeable clinical and information technology staff. However, the device selection team was scheduled to meet weekly, as opposed to the concentrated “all hands on deck” efforts experienced at BHS. Thus, from the project design stage, the process was changed to be longer in duration at RCH than our process of 8 weeks at BHS. Almost two years later, point-of-care devices were only just being purchased for use by nursing assistants, respiratory care therapists, and some sporadic use in the intensive care unit.

As a result of the slower, comprehensive, and methodical process for device selection, we identified opportunities that would not have been possible in a quicker, more concentrated project. Some of our notable findings are the following:

• The emergence of newer point-of-care technologies (tablets with scanners)
• Postponement of capital expenditures
• Reconciling specific challenges with wireless network coverage and capacity constraints
• Resolution of infection control issues related to device cleaning and storage
• Planning for medication administration and pharmacy delivery process changes
• Configurations of WOWs

This methodical approach created a new challenge to our credibility, especially among the nursing staff. Because significant aspects of point-of-care device selection requires participation from the front-line nursing staff, we engaged the nursing staff early in the selection approval process. Although early involvement provided education and buy-in, it also led to significant delays in acquisition and deployment, which caused frustration among the nursing staff.

Calculate the total ionization energy for the formation of C⁴⁺ from a gaseous C atom.

Create a C++ integer linked list program that performs the following methods below:

Please create these three source files: intList.h, intList.cpp, & intListTest.cpp.

Implement recursive routines in the intList class to do the following:

• Print the list in reverse order
• Return the value in the middle node
• Return the average of all the odd values
• Remove every node containing an odd value

Modify main (in IntListTest.cpp) so it does the following:

1. Insert the numbers 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 15, 20, 33.
2. Find the sum of all values.
3. Print the list in reverse order.
4. Print the value of the middle node.
5. Print the average of all the odd values.
6. Remove every node containing an odd value.
7. Print the list in reverse order.
8. Print the value of the middle node.

Steps 3-8 must use recursion.

Please follow requirements.

1.Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 60,000 Betas and 80,000 Alphas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, its sales representatives could increase sales of Alpha by 15,000 units. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much would profits increase or decrease?

2.Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 80,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 80,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $80 per unit. If Cane buys 80,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units, how much will profits increase or decrease?

3.Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 50,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 50,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $80 per unit. If Cane buys 50,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units, how much will profits increase or decrease?

4.How many pounds of raw material are needed to make one unit of Alpha and one unit of Beta?

5. What contribution margin per pound of raw material is earned by Alpha and Beta? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

6.Assume that Cane’s customers would buy a maximum of 80,000 units of Alpha and 60,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the company’s raw material available for production is limited to 160,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits?

7.Assume that Cane’s customers would buy a maximum of 80,000 units of Alpha and 60,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the company’s raw material available for production is limited to 160,000 pounds. What is the maximum contribution margin Cane Company can earn given the limited quantity of raw materials?

8.Assume that Cane’s customers would buy a maximum of 80,000 units of Alpha and 60,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the company’s raw material available for production is limited to 160,000 pounds. Up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
