Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: 

Suppose that we wish to assess whether more than 60 percent of all U.S. households in a particular income class bought life insurance last year. That is, we wish to assess whether p, the proportion of all U.S. households in the income class that bought life insurance last year, exceeds .60. Assume that an insurance survey is based on 1,000 randomly selected U.S. households in the income class and that 640 of these households bought life insurance last year.

a)   Assuming that p equals .60 and the sample size is 1,000, what is the probability of observing a sample proportion that is at least .64?

b)  Based on your answer in part a, do you think more than 60 percent of all U.S. households in the income class bought life insurance last year? Explain.

• Review the section “Diseases of the Veins” (pp. 598-599) in Chapter 23 of the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Consider the similarities and differences between these disorders.
• Select a patient factor different from the one you selected in this week’s Discussion: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Think about how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.
• Review the “Mind Maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct two mind maps—one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for venous thrombosis. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of both chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis.

To Complete

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

• Compare the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Describe how venous thrombosis is different from arterial thrombosis.
• Explain how the patient factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.
• Construct two mind maps—one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for deep venous thrombosis. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper.

Your work on your strategic global marketing plan is complete. You now have a plan that will implement, manage, and support a global strategy, but it is far from organized. You e-mail Deborah to inform her that you are almost ready and that the initial planning is complete. A little while later, the phone rings and you see Deborah’s name on the caller ID.

“Hi, Deborah. What’s up?” you ask.

“I’d like you to present to the advisory board next week,” Deborah says. “They are very curious about your findings and would like to know if globalization is a good opportunity for the company. The board wants to finalize their strategic plan, and this may be a key part of it.”

After you hang up, you begin thinking through the different items that you will need to cover.

As you finalize the marketing plan, complete the following:

• Is globalization a good move for the company?
• What is your rationale behind this decision? Synthesize analysis conducted in previous units, including strategic considerations, cultural considerations, competitive analysis and balanced scorecard.
• What geographic location should be a target for global expansion?
• What background information can you provide to support this decision?
• How will this decision support the overall goal of growth and expansion?
• How would you refute someone with the opposing perspective?

You are the fire chief. The firefighters have demanded that the city install Internet access in all city firehouses and some other city owned buildings through a wireless system that would be both accessible to the firefighters and the local population. It would cost the city approximately $30,000 for routers and other equipment and it is on the city council’s agenda tonight. Public access to this wireless system would only be accessible at the building department, City Hall, parking authority offices and the local airport. This situation was brought about by a firefighter union grievance. Firefighters at one station paid for their own wireless Internet last year and as chief you “yanked it” according to the union’s interpretation of the public record. The firefighters filed the complaint that said losing their online connection violated their “contractual right to freedom of reading material.” Under the settlement reached, the firefighters would no longer have to pay for the wireless; taxpayers would foot the bill for equipment and annual maintenance. The city’s information technology department would help troubleshoot problems. The connection would be available from 6 PM to 8 AM weekdays and from 1 PM to 8 AM weekends. The agreement required fire personnel to follow “all applicable city policies and standards regarding computer usage.” The city policy bands any city employee from accessing sexually oriented material, but then questions were raised about eBay, Facebook, and other social networking sites. The city has stated that those would be off limits also. In fact you found out that a city spokesperson said it was you that raised the concern about staff spending time on the social network sites while on city time. The city administration will be working with the IT people to block access to sites like this, but they never bothered to tell you. Now you have been called in to the office because it turned out that a police officer in the adjacent community has just been caught with child pornography on his laptop which was apparently accessed through just such a system as the city is placing in the firehouse, with the same requirements and regulations. You know through a phone call that they want you to not only comment on this situation but they want you to develop a better and tighter set of regulations for the use of the very thing that you did not want in the firehouse in the first place. What do you do? And how do you approach it? (Remember, the times are changing fast and in this whole discussion they have forgotten that many now have handheld devices and tablets that are also in the fire house which may be of further interest in this discussion).

Discussion Question 

Effective leadership can help nurse leaders to bring about a desirable change within the system. Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, gain adequate insight into change theories and change management, and answer the following questions:

• What does it mean to be a change agent? Give two examples of when you were a change agent or witnessed another nurse as a change agent
• What happened and how did the change occur? Citations should conform to APA guidelines. You may use this APA Citation Helper as a convenient reference for properly citing resources or connect to the APA Style website through the APA icon below.
