The nurse practitioner (NP) is working at a health clinic in a homeless shelter during the early evening. A 48-year-old African American man approaches the practitioner and asks to have his blood pressure taken, saying that he has not had it checked in a while. The man appears to be in some type of distress and experiencing pain. The man walks slowly, using a guarded manner, and he appears diaphoretic. His mucous membranes also appear pale. The patients blood pressure is 210/98. The patient reports that he has not been diagnosed with hypertension previously. The patient reveals that he has severe abdominal pain that is radiating to his back. The nurse finds a heart rate of 110, respirations 30 with shallow inspirations, and temperature 102.2F. The patients skin is cool and clammy. The patient reports a history of alcoholism, homelessness, and lack of access to health care. He says that the symptoms have been present and worsening over 3 days. The man says he thinks he might have pancreatitis again, which he had a couple of years ago. The NP recommends that the man should be seen at a hospital for his condition, but the patient says he does not have health insurance, so he does not want to go. The NP proceeds with a physical examination, finding severe abdominal pain in the epigastric area, yellowed sclera, no abdominal distention, and hypoactive bowel sounds. The clinic is equipped with basic materials but no means to conduct lab or radiologic testing. Discuss the following: Considering the patients homelessness and lack of insurance, what action should the practitioner take? When the patient asks why his condition cannot be managed outside of the hospital, how should the practitioner respond? When the patient arrives at the hospital for further diagnostic work-up, what tests will likely be performed to evaluate the patients condition? How will the severity of the pancreatitis be assessed when the patient is hospitalized? How should the patients condition be managed when hospitalized? What patient education should be included after the pancreatitis is resolved?

I will upload PDF ch 1 and two **Devotional** Paul said to the church at Corinth, “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.” More often than not, it takes courage to enter into a new phase of growth and living. “Putting away childish things” can be difficult and even result in feelings of grief and loss. Still, the Holy Spirit calls us to new ways of being and new ways of interacting with ourselves, with others, and especially with God. (Resources: **Devotional**, Ch. 1 & 2 pdf from Developmental Theories Through the Life Cycle pdf textbook)  Instructions respond to the following prompts: Discuss the devotional as it relates to human growth and development, specifically focusing on time between pre-birth to 18 months of age.

Instructions Cookie Creations (Chapter 18)  This assignment is a continuation of the Cookie Creations case study.  For this assignment, you will apply what you have learned from Chapter 18 as an introduction to the financial analysis. This assignment will allow you to practice what you have learned so far.  Natalie and Curtis have comparative balance sheets and income statements for Cookie & Coffee Creations, Inc. They have been told that they can use these financial statements to prepare horizontal and vertical analyses, to calculate financial ratios, to analyze how their business is doing, and to make some decisions they have been considering. Below, you are provided with the balance sheet and income statement of Cookie & Coffee Creations Inc. for its first year of operations; the year ended October 31, 2021. Review the calculations below, and then review the additional case information to calculate the ratios.  Review the additional case information below.  Natalie and Curtis are thinking about borrowing an additional $20,000 to buy more equipment. The loan would be repaid over a 4-year period. The terms of the loan provide for equal semi-annual installment payments of $2,500 on May 1 and November 1 of each year, plus interest of 5% on the outstanding balance. Dividends on preferred stock were $1,400. Since this is the first year of operations and the beginning balances are zero, use the ending balance as the average balance where appropriate.

Scaring Us Senseless By NASSIM NICHOLAS TALEB Published: July 24, 2005 I WAS visiting London last Thursday when a second wave of attacks hit the city, just two weeks after the traumatic events of July 7. It is hard to avoid feeling vulnerable to this invisible enemy who does not play by known or explicit rules. Of course, that is precisely the anxiety that terrorists seek to produce. But its opposite — complacency — is not an option. The truth is that neither human beings nor modern societies are wired to respond rationally to terrorism. Vigilance is easy to muster immediately after an event, but it tends to wane quickly, as the attack vanishes from public discourse. We err twice, first by overreacting right after the disaster, while we are still in shock, and later by under-reacting, when the memory fades and we become so relaxed as to be vulnerable to further attacks. Terrorism exploits three glitches in human nature, all related to the management and perception of unusual events. The first and key among these has been observed over the last two decades by neurobiologists and behavioral scientists, who have debunked a great fallacy that has marred Western thinking since Aristotle and most acutely since the Enlightenment. That is to say that as much as we think of ourselves as rational animals, risk avoidance is not governed by reason, cognition or intellect. Rather, it comes chiefly from our emotional system. Patients with brain lesions that prevent them from registering feelings even when their cognitive and analytical capacities are intact are incapable of effectively getting out of harm’s way. It is largely our emotional toolkit, and not what is called ”reason,” that governs our capacity for self-preservation. Second, this emotional system can be an extremely naïve statistician, because it was built for a primitive environment with simple dangers. That might work for you the next time you run into a snake or a tiger. But because the emotional system is impressionable and prefers shallow, social and anecdotal information to abstract data, it hinders our ability to cope with the more sophisticated risks that afflict modern life. For example, the death of an acquaintance in a motorcycle accident would be more likely to deter you from riding a motorcycle than would a dispassionate, and undoubtedly far more representative, statistical analysis of motorcycles’ dangers. You might avoid Central Park on the basis of a single comment at a cocktail party, rather than bothering to read the freely available crime statistics that provide a more realistic view of the odds that you will be victimized. This primacy of the emotions can distort our decision-making. Travelers at airports irrationally tend to agree to pay more for terrorism insurance than they would for general insurance, which includes terrorism coverage. No doubt the word ”terrorism” can be specific enough to evoke an emotional reaction, while the general insurance offer wouldn’t awaken the travelers’ anxieties in the same way. In the modern age, the news media have the power to amplify such emotional distortions, particularly with their use of images that go directly to the emotional brain. Consider this: Osama bin Laden continued killing Americans and Western Europeans in the aftermath of Sept. 11, though indirectly. How? A large number of travelers chose to drive rather than fly, and this caused a corresponding rise in casualties from automobile accidents (any time we drive more than 20 miles, our risk of death exceeds that of flying). Yet these automobile accidents were not news stories — they are a mere number. We have pictures of those killed by bombs, not those killed on the road. As Stalin supposedly said, ”One death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic.” Our emotional system responds to the concrete and proximate. Based on anecdotal information, it reacts quickly to remote risks, then rapidly forgets. And so the televised images from bombings in London cause the people of Cleveland to be on heightened alert — but as soon as there is a new tragedy, that vigilance is forgotten. Nassim Nicholas Taleb, who teaches risk management at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, is the author of ”Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and the Markets.”

Synthesis: Read the two sample papers Creswell attached to chapter 1. One is quantitative research, and the other one is qualitative research. Identify three to four differences between quantitative research and qualitative research after reading these two samples. Please include specific examples from these two sample articles when addressing the differences.     Synthesis & Reflection: In chapter 2 of Creswell, he discussed the difference between a “practical research problem” and a “research-based research problem”. What are the differences between these two? Do you think we need both types of problems? Which one do you think may contribute more to informing your own research?
