The
below questions ( 1 & 2) are the fallow up to the Case study 1. The
case study question and the response are under the Questions (1&2)
Please make sure to read the case study the questions are base on that
case study, thank you. Please use APA format, 2 references no more than 5
years old and well cited please make sure to go to the following web
page to answer question 1. http://www.nmhs.net/documents/27JNC8HTNGuidelinesB…

1.
Review the JNC8 algorithm and see if the recommendations you have made
for C.F. align with best practice according to JNC8. If not, what would
your recommendations be now that you have looked at the JNC8 algorithm?

http://www.nmhs.net/documents/27JNC8HTNGuidelinesB…

2.
Do you think enough information is presented in the discussion question
for you to safely make a recommendation? If not, what additional
information would be useful to help influence your choice?

Case Study 1

CF
is a sixty-year-old African American male who presents as a new patient
for initial evaluation and follow-up. He has been diagnosed with
hypertension for the last twelve years and Type 2 diabetes for the same
period of time. His current blood pressure is 162/90, with a pulse of
76. His body mass index (BMI) is 32. He is currently taking Maxzide
37.5/25 mg every morning. This is the only antihypertensive medication
he has taken.

For
this question, focus on the treatment of hypertension. Discuss the
influences of his age, gender, and ethnicity on hypertensive
medications. On the basis of an analysis of those factors, provide one
option for improvement of his blood pressure and provide a clear and
specific justification for that choice. Be sure to include dosage and
scheduling. Include highlights of patient teaching and/or
recommendations for any lifestyle changes. Support your decisions with
at least one reference to a published clinical guideline and one
peer-reviewed publication.

ANSWER

High
blood pressure is a life-threatening condition where the blood’s
long-term force on the walls of your artery is powerful enough to cause
some heart disease (Go et al., 2014). It depends on the amount of the
blood pumped by your heart and the resistance this blood encounters in
your arteries. The narrower the arteries are, the higher the blood
pressure. High blood pressure develops over the years. Fortunately, it
is detectable and controllable. High blood pressure that is uncontrolled
for a long time causes serious health problems such as heart attack,
kidney failure, heart failure and stroke. However, hypertensive
medication is influenced by the patient’s age, his or her gender, and
ethnicity. Lifestyle changes boost the control and treatment of high
blood pressure (Woo & Wynne, 2012).

The
ideal blood pressure for people aged 60 years and above is 150/90. CF’s
blood pressure is 162/90 which means it is high despite his daily
intake of Maxzide 37.5/25. The ideal body mass (IBM) for an adult is
between 18 and 24. CF is 32 meaning he is obese.Studies reveal that high
blood pressure affects men more than women (Go et al., 2014). After the
age of 55 years, women tend to suffer from blood pressure more than
men.However, more male suffers from complications related to blood
pressure more than females (Liao, at el., 2016). Most males with high
blood pressure suffer from heart attack, heart failure, and other heart
diseases if not controlled. Studies show that fewer people aged 39 years
and below suffer from high blood pressure as compared to above 40. It
is therefore correct to conclude that age influences the presence of
high blood pressure. Several types of research have revealed that if one
comes from a family history that has had blood pressure, there is a
likelihood that they too are at an elevated risk of having high blood
pressure at one time in their life. It is therefore evident that
ethnicity has an influence in the presence or absence of blood pressure.

Most
people with the diabetic condition, renal impairment, elderly or
severely ill suffer from hyperkalemia, that is, high potassium in the
blood. Maxzide should not be administered to patients with hyperkalemia
and should discontinue immediately. There’s a likelihood that CF could
be suffering from hyperkalemia following the fact that he is diabetic
and elderly. That could be the reason why his blood pressure is still
high despite taking the treatment. I recommend Calcium channel blockers.
They are drugs that lower blood pressure by slowing calcium movement in
the heart’s cells and in the walls of the blood vessels. It enables the
heart to pump the blood and widen its vessels. With enlarged blood
vessels, the heart needs not overwork hence the blood pressure is
lowered (Liao et al., 2016). Norvasc (Amlodipine) is one of the best
Calcium channel blockers used to treat high blood pressure. It is taken
orally with or without food only once daily. Most people prefer taking
it with water or milk. I would recommend that CF takes it with some milk
of food. Dosage may be increased or decrease it depending on CF’s
reaction. Calcium channel blocker is ideal for the black and elderly
patients such as CF. He should avoid grape juice of fruit as it
interferes with the drugs reaction on the body. I would ask CF to ensure
that he eats a balanced diet and, a lot of fruits and vegetables. He
should also ensure that he does lighter exercises like walking 30
minutes daily. He should also reduce his sodium intake, red meat, and
cholesterol.

Management mid term exam

5 QUESTIONS, 16 PTS EACH, TOTAL OF 80 PTS. DUE 10/14

Each question should be approximately 1 page long

Note: you must have 2 internet references for your answers to each question. They must be listed at the end of your paper in a bibliography.

  1. Planning is difficult for several reasons. One is that it requires a future goal or objective that must be reached in a given time period. Another is that it requires the planner to project what is likely to happen in the future, which is always difficult. And it requires people to believe in the plan enough to make it happen. What can you as planner do to address these issues?
  2. Why do entrepreneurs mostly start small businesses? Some new business startups, however grow very quickly and become large in a very short time, such as Uber. How do you account for the difference between small business startups that stay small, and small business startups that become large businesses quickly?
  3. The environments within which a business operates need to be monitored and adapted to by the business. But there are some environmental factors that can be directly impacted by the manager. What are those and how can a manager impact them?
  4. Organizing is the process by which the firm develops a structure within which to carry out its operations. But sometimes the structure is insufficient to process the various tasks that the firm needs to carry out. The most basic factor is a new strategy that requires a new structure. Should the business manager adapt the structure or adapt the strategy to meet the newly emerging needs?
  5. Culture is an organizational feature. How can you know a culture before you join the company and work for it and then find that the culture is something you cannot believe in or support? Remember that everyone you, the person being hired, and he/she the hiring officer are on their best behavior to be likeable, friendly, helpful at interview time, maybe not so much later. Better to be able to predict in advance, but how?

Humanities – Reality TV and the Theater

/in /by

“Today’s generation didn’t want to watch ancient actors reciting the same tired lines. They wanted to see themselves reflected onscreen – rude, raw, entitled. These kids needed to believe that they themselves were only one daring, controversial act away from being up on that screen themselves. ”

– Melissa Jo Peltier, Reality Boulevard

Within the past few years, Reality TV has become a staple in the homes of people not just in America but around the world. Many celebrities have given in to the undeniable effect of Reality TV, choosing to have their own lives played out in front of the lens. The term “Reality TV Star” has been coined and is now being uttered on the lips of millions. However one feels about Reality TV, this wave of entertainment seems to be here to stay.

While form of low art achieves wild popularity and brings in significant profits to networks, attendance to Broadway theater performances is also at an all-time high. Perhaps low art and high art can thrive simultaneously.

What do you think will be the lasting impact that Reality TV has on the Humanities and how we see ourselves as humans? Based on what you learned about the theater (which was not always considered high art) in this week’s readings, what may be some future similarities and differences between Reality TV and the theater?

Your first task is to post your own Key Assignment Outline (outline of your response to the Phase 4 IP) to the discussion area so that other students are able to review your plan. Attach your document to the main discussion post, and include any notes you feel are appropriate. The purpose of this assignment is to help improve the quality of the Key Assignment Draft you will complete next week. The Phase 4 IP is the Key Assignment being referred to here.

During trial preparation, you are directed by the Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) to bring the tapes of intercepted conversations involving a prime suspect in your case to her office. You provide the evidence custodian with the necessary paperwork and are waiting for the tapes to be produced. After 20 minutes, the custodian comes back and asks if you are sure you have provided the correct case and exhibit numbers. You verify the numbers and are told the original tapes cannot be found.

You immediately inform your supervisor, who is understandably concerned. You have the paperwork documenting the fact that the tapes were transferred to the custody of the evidence custodian. The other agents in the office are asked whether they have any knowledge of this matter. No one has any idea as to what happened to the original tapes.

You and your supervisor call the AUSA and explain to her what has happened. She is furious and tells you not to be surprised if the judge throws out the entire case. You remind her that she has duplicate copies in her possession and that you have your working copies as well. She says her copies were barely audible, and apparently there was some problem with the recording equipment. You decide to do some research on the best evidence rule.
