A registered nurse performs the following four steps in delegating a task to a nursing assistant. Place the steps in the order of appropriate delegation.

1. Do you have any questions about walking Mr. Malone?
2. Before you take him for his walk to the end of the hallway and back, please take and record his pulse rate.
3. In the next 30 minutes please assist Mr. Malone in room 418 with her afternoon walk.
4. I will make sure that I check with you in about 40 minutes to see how the patient did.

Tonya formally plans Mr. Lawson's care. For the nursing diagnosis of Acute Pain related to trauma of surgical incision, Tonya identifies the goal of “Patient will use relaxation technique after ambulation”; and the outcome she lists is, “Patient reports pain below level of 4 and does not splint incision when moving within 48 hours.” The interventions she selects for her plan include administering the ordered analgesic, progressive relaxation, and splinting the incision when the patient gets out of bed.

2. Among the interventions that Tonya selected, which ones are independent, dependent, and collaborative?

Are nursing salaries in Tampa, Florida, lower than those in Dallas, Texas? Salary data show staff nurses in Tampa earn less than staff nurses in Dallas (The Tampa Tribune, January 15, 2007). Suppose that in a follow-up study of 40 staff nurses in Tampa and 50 staff nurses in Dallas you obtain the following results.

$$\begin{array} { r l } { \text { Tampa } } & { \text { Dallas } } \\ { n _ { 1 } = 40 } & { n _ { 2 } = 50 } \\ { \overline { x } _ { 1 } = \$ 56,100 } & { \overline { x } _ { 2 } = \$ 59,400 } \\ { s _ { 1 } = \$ 6000 } & { s _ { 2 } = \$ 7000 } \end{array}$$

What is your conclusion?

When the Moon is 384,000 km from Earth, how far is the Moon from Earth in miles?

The equation of a linear relation is: $y=-2 x+7$. Determine the missing number in each ordered pair.

a) $(-8,\space)$

b) $(12,\space)$

c) $(\space, 31)$

d) $(\space,-23)$

Researchers followed a random sample of 2315 middle-aged men from eastern Finland for up to 30 years. They recorded how often each man went to a sauna and whether or not he suffered sudden cardiac death (SCD). The two-way table shows the data from the study.

$$\text { Weekly sauna frequency }\\ \text { SCD } \begin{array}{l|c|c|c|c} & \text { 1 or fewer } & \text { 2-3 } & \text { 4 or more } & \text { Total } \\ \hline \text { Yes } & 61 & 119 & 10 & 190 \\ \hline \text { No } & 540 & 1394 & 191 & 2125 \\ \hline \text { Total } & 601 & 1513 & 201 & 2315 \end{array}$$

State appropriate hypotheses for performing a chi-square test for independence in this setting.

After K.B. has been on the unit for 6 hours, you identify the following changes in her assessment data: K.B. is difficult to arouse, but when awake she is able to identify who and where she is; PERRLA 1+ with slower reaction time than earlier; color pale, pink; skin cool and clammy; heart rate 126 beats/min, respiratory rate 28 breaths/min, temperature (oral) $99^{\circ}F$ ($37.2 ^{\circ}C$ ); Spo2 90%. The findings of the neurovascular checks of the affected extremities are unchanged.

Since the moon is constantly attracted toward the earth by the gravitational interaction, why doesn’t it crash into the earth?

Read "Snake Charmer," by D. Bruce Means (National Widlife, Feb.Mar, 1999, pp. 36-41). How do eastern diamondback rattlers differ from their western cousins? What adaptive advantages might this difference provide? Evaluate this snake's role in its ecosystem.

The Wall Street Journal Subscriber Study showed data on the employment status of subscribers. Sample results corresponding to subscribers of the eastern and western editions are shown here.

$$\begin{matrix} \text{ } & \text{Region}\\ \text{ } & \text{Eastern} & \text{Western}\\ \text{Employment Status} & \text{Edition} & \text{Edition}\\ \text{Full-time} & \text{1105} & \text{574}\\ \text{Part-time} & \text{31} & \text{15}\\ \text{Self-employed/consultant} & \text{229} & \text{186}\\ \text{Not employed} & \text{485} & \text{344}\\ \end{matrix}$$

Use $\alpha$= .05 and test the hypothesis that employment status is independent of the region. What is your conclusion?

The middle cardiac vein runs with which artery? (a) marginal artery, (b) aorta, (c) coronary sinus, (d) anterior interventricular artery, (e) posterior interventricular artery.

Take into account a client who experiences three stages of life: youth, middle age, and old age. The customer makes $20,000 in labour income when they are young. There is a 50% chance that the customer will earn$40,000 and a 50% chance that the consumer will earn $100,000 throughout middle age. When elderly, the customer uses savings acquired over the years. Assume that the real interest rate, predicted inflation, and inflation are all equal to zero. Don't blame taxes for this issue. Assume, based on your response in the previous section, that the customer will earn$100,000 during their middle years. What will she spend in each stage of her life? Will consumption remain the same over the course of the consumer's life? (Hint: The consumer will attempt to maintain constant consumption for her final two life periods as long as she can consume at least $20,000 in each period after she reaches middle age.)

Some college students think herbal tea has extraordinary abilities. They pay weekly trips to a nearby senior home where they converse with the residents and provide them herbal tea in an effort to test this assumption. The nursing home staff indicates that many of the residents are healthier and happier now, some months later. While we should applaud the children for their good efforts, we don't think the elderly benefited from the herbal tea. In this informal study, identify the explanatory and response variables. Next, describe which hidden factors are responsible for the observed association.
