Assess how a populations needs are met by discussing how trade can positively impact a community’s health. Provide two examples of goods or services as support. In contrast, discuss how trade can negatively impact a community’s health, providing support using two examples of goods or services.

Case Study, Chapter 15, Oncology: Nursing Management in Cancer Care

Emanuel Jones, 60 years of age, is male patient diagnosed with small cell carcinoma. He

underwent surgery in the past to remove the left lower lobe of his lung. He is receiving

chemotherapy. Two weeks before a round of chemotherapy, a complete blood count with

differential, and a renal and metabolic profile are obtained for the patient. The patient presents to

the oncology clinic for chemotherapy with a temperature of 101°F. Further assessment reveals

decreased breath sounds in the right base of the right lung, and a productive cough expectorating

green colored mucus. The patient is short of breath and has a pulse oximetry reading that is SaO2

of 85% on room air. The patient has a history of benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH) and has

complaints of urinary frequency and burning upon urination. The patient is admitted to the

oncology unit in the hospital. The oncologist orders the following: blood, sputum, and urine

cultures; and a chest x-ray. An x-ray of the kidneys, ureters, bladder (KUB) is ordered. An

arterial blood gas (ABG) on room air, CBC with differential, and renal and metabolic profile are

ordered. Oxygen is ordered to begin with nasal cannula at 2 L/min and titrate to keep SaO2

greater than 90%. A broad-spectrum antibiotic, levofloxacin 500 mg in 100 mL of NS is ordered

to be administered IV over 60 minutes once daily. (Learning Objective 8)

Case Study, Chapter 16, End-of-Life Care

1. Joe Clark, 79 years of age, is a male patient who is receiving hospice care for his terminal

illnesses that include lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). He

developed bilateral pleural effusion (fluid that accumulates in the pleural space of each lung),

which has compromised his lung expansion. He states that he is short of breath and feels anxious

that the next breath will be his last. The patient is admitted to the hospital for a thoracentesis (an

invasive procedure used to drain the fluid from the pleural space so the lung can expand). The

thoracentesis is being used as a palliative measure to relieve the discomfort he is experiencing.

Low dose morphine is ordered to provide relief from dyspnea or discomfort. The patient is

prescribed Proventil (albuterol) inhaler 2 puffs per day, as needed, and Flovent (fluticasone

propionate) inhaler 2 puffs twice a day. The patient has 2 L/min of oxygen ordered per nasal

cannula as needed for comfort. (Learning Objective 9)

This is a compare and contrast assignment. Select any two texts we have read throughout the semester for this comparative paper. 

USE \”FOE\” BY J.M COETZEE AND \”WAITING FOR THE BARBARIANS\” BY J.M COETZEE FOR THIS PAPER. 

 In your comparison of elements from two texts you could look for similarities and/or differences. Your thesis should clearly mention both the texts and whether you think the elements under discussion are similar and/or different in both the texts. Given this is a comparative paper it is important you select a topic that will help you discuss two texts together based on comparison and/or contrast. That is, you could compare/contrast any of these elements in the two stories: style, theme, characterization, plot, multiple narrators etc.  As you know from previous essays, you need to have a clear thesis which identifies the topic, position, and rationale for the claims. You will also need sub-topics that develop the thesis.

For example, you could compare two novels based on the theme of torture such as Waiting for the Barbarians and Foe, discussing the relation of torture to issues of language, power, and colonialism.

Structure of Comparative Paper

In writing comparative papers it is very important to keep in mind that your paper should NOT read like a list of items. That is, you should not devote the first half of the paper to one author and the second half to another author. Your thesis, as I mentioned above, should clearly discuss both the authors. Moreover, every paragraph should be organized around a sub-topic (and not around a particular author) that will help you discuss the two authors in the same paragraph. This way you will not only have a flow in the paper but also avoid merely summarizing the two books.

Guidelines

Your short paper should be 10-12 pages (minimum 3500 words), typed, 12pt., double spaced, Times New Roman, with 1 inch margin on all sides.   You will need to print the total word count (not characters) at the end of the essay.  You need to include Works Cited page using MLA format.  You need minimum two academic sources (articles, book chapters) from library database approved by me. please try to use 2 scholarly sources, only use the two books (FOE & WAITING FOR THE BARBARIANS) for the rest of the paper thank you 

You are expected to demonstrate critical thinking and close reading of the texts. In other words, these are analytical/exploratory papers and not mere summaries of the novels.  The papers should be carefully proofread.

What might you infer about the company’s financial performance as it relates to this ratio?

/in /by

Discussion Topic

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to classmates or your faculty member. 

This week, you’ll review a balance sheet and income statement, and then calculate common financial ratios to evaluate the company’s financial performance. These are simple formulas, but they may seem intimidating. In most instances, the calculations are simple and can be automated in spreadsheets. However, for this discussion, you’ll want to perform the calculations yourself.

Choose 1 financial ratio that you will need to calculate for this week’s assignment. Try to choose a ratio that has not been chosen by another student.

Choose 1 publicly traded company and review the most recent balance sheet and income statement for a company whose reports are posted on a website, such as Yahoo Finance.

Calculate the financial ratio you selected for the company you chose. 

Due Thursday

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: 

  • What is the ratio you chose? Explain what this ratio means.
  • What were the results of your calculation? Show your work to the class, including the formula you used, the data you input for your calculation, and the company name in your response.
  • What might you infer about the company’s financial performance as it relates to this ratio?
  • Which other ratios might you find helpful to confirm what your original ratio calculation told you?
