Electronic Health Records: Pros and Cons.

Electronic Health Records (EHRs) have increased the efficiency and storage of data in many hospital and clinical facilities.  At this point in time, just about everyone, health care professionals and non-health care professionals, have some experience with EHR’s. However, EHR’s also have associated risks that nurses need to be aware and attentive to in nursing practice. For our second discussion, I would like for you to explain to a colleague or patient/client, the benefit and the risks of using EHR’s.  As you respond, please remember to use your personal experiences.

Conflict Resolution.

Spend some time reflecting upon all that you have learned throughout the quarter in this course.

In a 2 page paper, based on the subjects covered throughout the quarter, what conflict resolution advice would you give to the person who will be replacing you (minimum of 5 pieces of advice)? Use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Cite your sources for your pieces of advice.

Business Law.

In this assignment, you will prepare an in-depth comparative analysis research paper between two different firms operating in two different countries but which have similar challenges.

Mathematics Problems.

Problem 1. In a family with 3 children, what is the probability of having 2 boys and 1 girls,?
Consider two cases:
a) Construct sample space where each element shows
sequence of given birth boys and girls, like Boy-Girl-Boy or Girl-Boy-Girl and so on.
Assuming that a boy is as likely as a girl at each birth, find probability that
b) 2 boys and 1 girl were born in that order;
c) 2 boys and 1 girl were born in any order.
Tip: Count in sample space number of events related to case b) and case c)
and divide by total number of all elements in the sample space.

Problem 2. Group of 10 people has 6 male and 4 female.
5 people were randomly selected from this group.
What is the probability that in selected people will be 3 male and 2 female?
Order of selection doesn’t matter.
Tip: calculate number of ways to select 3 Male out of 6, use Combinations C(6,3).
Calculate number of ways to select 2 Female out of 4, C(4,2).
Calculate number of ways to select any 5 People out of 10, C(10,5)
Probability will be: P = C(6,3)×C(4,2)/C(10,5)

Problem 3. What is the probability that a random card drawn from the full standard 52-card deck will be a Queen or any card of a Hearts? What are odds odds in favor for this event.

Problem 4. Use probabilities from the table below

B    D
A    0.15    0.25
C    0.40    0.20

and formula for conditional probability to find the following probabilities:
a) P(A|B)  probability of event A given that event B already happened;
b) P(B|A)  probability of event B given that event A already happened.

Problem 5. Calculate Expected Value for the following Discrete Probability Distribution:

X    -1    0    1    2    3    4
P(x)    0.04    0.08    0.12    0.32    0.24    0.16

Problem 6. Imagine you are playing a game by drawing a card
from a standard well-shuffled 52-cards deck.
Here are the rules:
If the card is an Ace, you win $5.
If the card is a King, you win $3.
If the card is a Queen, you win $3.
If the card is a Jack, you win $2.
If it’s any other card from 2 to 10, you lose $2.

After each draw card returns to the deck and it’s shuffled again.
So, every time you draw a card from the full deck of cards.

Complete the probability distribution table for this game:

Profit    +$5    +$3    +$3    +$2    -$2
P(x)

Calculate the expected value of Profit in this game?
On a long run, will you win or lose in this game?

Problem 7. There are 20 tickets in the raffle box, 5 of them are winning.
You are randomly take two tickets from this box.
a) Here is a tree diagram for possible events.
Determine value for each of these probabilities: p1, p2, p3, p4, p5, p6.

Use these values to calculate probabilities to draw
b) two win tickets
c) one win and one lose ticket (in any order)
d) two lose tickets
Taken ticket is not returned to the box.

Problem 8. There are 2 candidates in the final election.
1,000 potential voters were asked if they like a certain candidate. Here is result of this poll: 300 people like candidate A, 400 people like candidate B, 100 people like both candidates (overlapping area between first and second group).
a) draw Venn diagram for this case;
b) use Venn diagram to find probability that people like candidate A, but don’t like candidate B;
c) find probability that people don’t like either of these candidates.

Problem 9.  In a histogram, when the data are symmetrical, what is the typical relationship between the mean and median?

Computer Science.

A company is looking for a program that can help keep track of their inventory for an array of inventories. There are two types of inventory accounts ─ toys and clothes.

Implement the following classes and methods.

Inventory class:

Instance variable:
Invbalance

Received method ─ add the incoming inventory to the current balance.

Sold method ─ subtract the outgoing inventory from the current balance. Don’t allow the balance to go below zero. If the balance does go below zero, change the balance to zero.

Display method ─ This must be an abstract method.

Toys class:

No new instance variables.

toyssold method ─ subtract the amount sold from the current inventory.

display method ─ print the type of inventory, toys, and then the balance of inventory. Study the output for details.

Clothing class:

Instance variable:
Returnclothes – for every amount of clothing sold there is a percent that is returned

addReturns method ─ calculates the returns by multiplying the Returnclothes by the current amount of clothing sold. Add the returns to the amount of clothing.

display method ─ print the type of inventory, clothing, and then the balance of inventory.

Provide appropriate constructors and additional methods as necessary. Study the given main method and output for details. Hint: Don’t allow the inventory to go below zero. If the inventory does go below zero, change the inventory to zero.

Provide a driver class that tests your three classes. Your driver class should contain this main method:

public static void main(String[] args)
{
Inventory[] inventory = new Inventory[200];

inventory[0] = new Clothing(500);
inventory[0].received(100);
inventory[0].sold(200, .05);
((Clothing) inventory[0]).addReturns();

inventory[1] = new Toys(-100);
inventory[1].received(50);

inventory[2] = new Toys(200);
inventory[2].sold(210);
inventory[2].received(100);
((Toys) inventory[2]).toyssold(75);

for (int i=0; i<inventory.length && inventory[i] != null; i++)
{
inventory[i].display();
}
} // end main

Output:

Clothing Inventory = 410
Toys Inventory = 50
Toys Inventory = 25

Accounting:Case Studies.

Tax Strategy Problem

I:1‑48 Pedro Bourbone is the founder and owner of a highly successful small business and, over the past several years, has accumulated a significant amount of personal wealth. His portfolio of stocks and bonds is worth nearly $5,000,000 and generates income from dividends and interest of nearly $250,000 per year. With his salary from the business and his dividends and interest, Pedro has taxable income of approximately $600,000 per year and is clearly in the top individual marginal tax bracket. Pedro is married and has three children, ages 16, 14, and 12. Neither his wife nor his children are employed and have no income. Pedro has come to you as his CPA to discuss ways to reduce his individual tax liability as well as to discuss the potential estate tax upon his death. You mention the possibility of making gifts each year to his children. Explain how annual gifts to his children will reduce both his income during lifetime and his estate tax at death.

Case Study Problem

I:1‑49 John Gemstone, a wealthy client, has recently been audited by the IRS. The agent has questioned the following deduction items on Mr. Gemstone’s tax return for the year under review:

  • A $10,000 loss deduction on the rental of his beach cottage.
  • A $20,000 charitable contribution deduction for the donation of a painting to a local art museum. The agent has questioned whether the painting is overvalued.
  • A $15,000 loss deduction from the operation of a cattle breeding ranch. The agent is concerned that the ranch is not a legitimate business (i.e., is a hobby).

Your supervisor has requested that you represent Mr. Gemstone in his discussions with the IRS.

  1. What additional questions should you ask Mr. Gemstone in an attempt to substantiate the deductibility of the above items?
  2. What tax research procedures might be applied to build the best possible case for your client?
