Case Management Action Planning Case Study (250 words)

A case manager, Marie, is meeting with Michael Cornell, an individual in need of services, and his granddaughter Jennifer. Michael age 86, took a bad fall six weeks ago and has been receiving rehabilitation services at a local nursing facility. Discharge planning was not thorough as Michael insisted he was ready to go home with services in place or not. Jennifer is not able to provide Michael with all the assistance he needs, but is willing to help as much as she can. However, it has become apparent to both Michael and Jennifer that he will not be able to remain at home without assistance. As a result of the fall, Michael had a hip replacement and a broken arm which was put in a cast. He also has diabetes, (two toes amputated in the last two years), and macular degeneration. Michael has become quite confused since his stay at the nursing facility and currently his decision making skills are severely impaired. He needs extensive assistance with dressing, bathing, toileting and transfers. Michael is not eating well and continues to lose weight. Michael tells Jennifer and Marie that he has no energy, feels down a lot and doesnt even care about tending to his garden this year. He previously enjoyed socializing with people and hobbies like woodworking, gardening and painting, but they dont interest him much now. Michael attended the local Congregational Church, but has not been to church services since his fall. He agrees that it might be helpful to talk with the pastor, have people around during the day and is willing to accept services that will help him to be able stay at home. Michael and Jennifer are interested in agency directed services at this time and clearly want to receive case management services. Michael, Jennifer and Marie are now developing Michaels Action Plan together.

Some simple questions to start:

List all the potential issues regarding Michaels needs

What goals do you think Michael might have?

List all the possible services Michael would need

For each goal (based on the issues), write a plan including strategies and timeframes

Remember to:

Address the following in the plan:

The processes involved in addressing the clients needs

Recommendations regarding services, supports and referrals

Details of (potential) meetings conducted with the relevant professionals

Continuous improvement strategies

Support from the literature

The signature of each function is provided below, do not make any changes to them otherwise the tester will not work properly. The following are the functions you must implement:

mashup(lst) [20pts]

Description: Creates a new string that is based on the provided list. Each number in the list specifies how many characters from the string that follows belong in the resulting string. Parameters: lst is a list of variable size, that contains alternating ints and strings Assumptions: When a pair of values doesn’t make sense, throw out that pair. When you have an empty string in the list, move on to the next pair. When you have a number that is larger than the length of the string, move on to the next pair, etc. Return value: the new string that is generated from the replacements Examples: mashup([2, 'abc', 1, 'def']) → 'abd' mashup([3, 'rate', 2, 'inside', 1, 'goat']) → 'rating'

expand(numbers, amount) [20pts]

Description: Given a list of numbers it returns that same list that has been expanded with a certain amount of zeroes around all of the numbers, including at the beginning and end of the list. Parameters: numbers is a list of mixed int and float Assumptions: You will always have at least one element in numbers. amount will be >= 0 Return value: Nothing is returned. The swapping occurs in-place, i.e. you modify numbers itself Examples: ls = [1,2,3] expand(ls, 1) # nothing is returned! print(ls) # prints [0,1,0,2,0,3,0] ls = [1.5, -6, 4, 0] expand(ls, 2) # nothing is returned! print(ls) # prints [0, 0, 1.5, 0, 0, -6, 0, 0, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

Assumptions for the following two problems: There will be at least one row and one column in the matrix. All rows will have the same number of elements.

squarify(matrix) [25pts]

Description: Determine the size of the largest square that can be made with the given matrix. Construct a new square matrix of this size using the elements from the original matrix in their original order. Parameters: matrix (list of lists of int) Return value: A new matrix (list of lists of int) Examples: ls = [[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8],[9,10,11,12]] new_ls = squarify(ls) print(new_ls) # prints [[1, 2, 3], [5, 6, 7], [9, 10, 11]]

apply(mask, matrix) [25pts]

Description: Given a matrix, apply the mask. The matrix is some MxN list of list of ints, and the mask is exactly a 2x2 list of lists of ints. Imagine you overlay the mask on top of the matrix, starting from the top left corner. There will be 4 places that overlap. Add each pair of numbers that are overlapped, and update the original matrix with this new value. Shift the mask down the row of the matrix to the next 2x2 that hasn't been updated already, and continue this process. Keep doing this down the columns as well. If you are on an edge and only a piece of the mask overlaps, you can ignore the other numbers and only update the overlapping portion. Parameters: matrix (MxN list of list of ints) and mask (2x2 list of list of ints) Return value: Nothing is returned. The updating occurs in-place, i.e. you modify matrix itself Examples: ls = [[1,2],[3,4]] apply([[1,1],[1,1]], ls) # nothing is returned! print(ls) # prints [[2, 3], [4, 5]] ls = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]] apply([[1,1],[1,1]], ls) # nothing is returned! print(ls) # prints [[2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7], [8, 9, 10]] ls = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12]] apply([[1,0],[0,1]], ls) # nothing is returned! print(ls) # prints [[2, 2, 4], [4, 6, 6], [8, 8, 10], [10, 12, 12]]

Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 48,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below:

The Rets normally sell for $48 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $336,000 per year within the range of 38,000 through 48,000 Rets per year.

Required:

1. Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 38,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 10,000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price. There would be no sales commissions on this order; thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75%. However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain’s name on the 10,000 units. This machine would cost $20,000. Polaski Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units in the future. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

2. Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 38,000 Rets through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 10,000 Rets. The Army would pay a fixed fee of $1.80 per Ret, and it would reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the units. Because the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?

3. Assume the same situation as described in (2) above, except that the company expects to sell 48,000 Rets through regular channels next year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army’s order would require giving up regular sales of 10,000 Rets. Given this new information, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to keep leap tall buildings in a single bound. The infant of Krypton is now the Man of Steel: Superman!

a) Given what you know about Superman from this description, estimate the maximum speed with which he can jump. State explicitly your assumptions and any limitations of your model, and comment on the result. If you decide to use the acceleration due to gravity, you may estimate a value of g=10 m/s^2. Note, the empire state building is approx. 450 m to the tip of the spire.

The current price of a stock is $65.88. If dividends are expected to be $1 per share for the next five years, and the required return is 10%, then what should the price of the stock be in 5 years when you plan to sell it? If the dividend and required returns remained the same; and the stock price is expected to increase by $1 five years from now, does the current stock price also increase by $1? Why or why not?

I only need d) to be solved, thanks

(a) Derive the answer to price of the stock in 5 years (i.e. Find: Ps.) The question does not specify expected dividends or the required rate of return for beyond five years. Assume that following the fifth year (i.e. in the 6th year) that dividends grow at a constant rate forever and that the required rate of return remains at 10%

b) Find the growth rate of dividends that is consistent with your answer in part (a) to Ps. (Hint: use the Gordon growth model.) Now suppose instead that Ps-101.

c) What is the price of the stock today? Finally, suppose that dividends stay at S1 forever.

d）Unlike question b) above, consider a “two-stage Gordon growth model” where the growth rate of dividends is greater than required rate of return over the first five years. As before, suppose D1 =1 and ke =.1. However, now dividends grow from year 1 until year 5 at 20%, and after year 5 they stop growing. What is the price of the stock today?
