Lesson 6

Activity 1: Adding and Subtracting Fractions

2/3 is a normal, proper fraction, where the 3 represents the number of total parts and the 2 is how many you are dealing with.

1 2/3 is a mixed number, where the 1 is how many whole quantities you have, plus some extra portion of the next whole.

Quick Question!

Which of the quantities below is the largest?

A: 3/2 B: 2/3 C: 2/2

With a partner work through the Module 2 Instructions on Adding and Subtracting Fractions.

Make several paper plate pizzas and divide them into fractional parts such as 4s, 6s, 8s

Use these to practice adding and subtracting fractions.

Then each partner makes up some problems to challenge the other partner.

Activity 2: Fraction Game

Review finding common denominators and play the fraction game together

Activity 3: Adding and Subtracting Mixed Numbers

Mixed numbers makes things a little more interesting. There are two possible ways of adding and subtracting fractions. You should take a look at both and decide which you like better, then just stick with that method.

With a partner work through the Module 2 Instructions on adding and subtracting mixed numbers.

Then make up problems to challenge each other.

Project Assignment:

Your task now is to determine how much space we need for parking, how many cars you expect, how many cars you can accommodate each morning and each evening, and whether you need the extra parking space in the neighbor’s field. To figure this out you will need to understand some basics about fractions. You will also be using what you learned previously about integers. You can use the plan you started in the Task to help.

We are expecting about 10000 people per day. Of course about a third (1/3) of these are children and about half (1/2) come during the day and about half (1/2) during the evening and night. So parking should be determined on these figures. Also we should allow 8 feet wide by 10 feet long for each car parked.

To complete this task work through the step by step instructions below.

1. Determine what 1/3 of the total people per day is. This will allow you to subtract the number of children who would not have a car. Subtract 1/3 from 3/3. How many thirds are left?
2. Now take the number of people per day minus the children and break that in half since half come in the morning and half in the afternoon. (If you added these three numbers together again, you should get 10000).

EXAMPLE: If the total number of visitors was 9000 then: 3000 children + 3000 morning adults + 3000 evening adults = 9000

1. Now you should know the number of cars to expect each morning and each evening. This is the number of parking spaces you will need.
2. You should allow 8 feet wide by 10 feet long for each car parked. So, multiply the number of cars in the morning by 8 feet to determine how many you could park in one row. It is a good idea at this time to draw out your parking area on graph paper in rows. Remember that each row needs to allow 10 feet for the length of each car. You will also need a drive area between the rows of 15 feet to allow cars to pass through to park. Try different configurations to park the maximum number of cars in the least safe space.
3. Once you have determined how much space you need to park the cars, go back to your original graphic where you outlined the parking space. Is it enough space? Do you need the additional 5 acres from the neighboring farm? How much more space do you need?
4. Put all your information, including how you arrived at your answer in a Word document. You may attach additional documents and graphs if needed. Then submit to Moodle.

CLINICAL CASE STUDY ASSIGNMENT

(Complete one per shift)

Introduction – explain who the patient is: age range, gender, etc. Explain what the problem is: what is the patient diagnosed with, or what happened/what brought them here. Introduce the main idea: what should you as a nurse focus on?

Pathophysiology – explain the disease, symptoms, and causes/etiology (cite sources)

History – explain what health problems the patient has (other diagnoses). Discuss other pertinent treatments, surgeries, etc.

Physical Assessment – include vital signs, assessment findings, labs, diagnostics, etc.

Treatments – what treatment is the patient receiving due to condition, and what is the rationale (medications, dressing changes, PT/OT, etc.)

Nursing Care Plan – two priority nursing diagnoses with appropriate SMART goal(s), interventions, and evaluations.

Recommendations – what should the nurse and patient focus on to promote recovery/improvement?

References/APA format – Prepare your assignment as an APA formatted paper, including a reference page as well as in-text citations. Please use textbooks or reliable sources from the internet that are geared toward heath care professionals.

***Part A. The general rule is that a landowner can be held liable to a trespasser only for intentional torts or for reckless or wanton conduct. No landowner will be liable to a trespasser for mere negligence, which is a failure to use reasonable care.

State whether or not you agree with the fact that many states require a landowner to use reasonable care in order to protect discovered trespassers, frequent trespassers, or tolerated trespassers from injuries caused by either the landowners’ activities or by artificial conditions on the land. Support your response.

***Part B. In Knorpp vs. Hale, at 981 S.W.2d 469 (Tex. App. 1998), the court lays out the duties to both a licensee and an invitee. Use this analysis to determine whether or not a church member who slipped and fell in the church basement fellowship hall and injured herself would be considered a licensee or an invitee.

What duty of care would she be owed? Would your conclusion change if the member had sung in the church choir that morning, before she fell?

***The court in McCoy vs. American Suzuki Motor Corp. at 961 P. 2d 952 (Wash. 1998), recognized that a person who creates a situation of peril has a duty to an individual who attempts a rescue in response to that situation. For example, in McCoy, the plaintiff was able to recover from a manufacturer of a vehicle where a car accident was caused by defects in the vehicle. The plaintiff was not involved in the accident but stopped to assist; in the process, McCoy was struck by a hit-and-run vehicle and injured.

Determine if it violates normal notions of fairness to hold someone responsible for injuries caused to a rescuer when the rescuer chose to undertake the rescue.

Does the foreseeability of the need for rescue create a duty from Suzuki to the injured plaintiff?

***To support a strict liability claim, the plaintiff must show that the defendant’s activity should be classified as abnormally dangerous. Does the plaintiff also have to provide evidence to prove that the defendant, who was engaging in an abnormally dangerous activity, was at fault? Explain the reasons why or why not.

Analyze the Restatement’s six factors that are to be considered in determining whether or not an activity is “abnormally dangerous” to determine whether or not public displays of fireworks justify the imposition of strict liability. See Klein v. Pyrodyne Corp. at 117 Wash. 2d 1, 810 P.2d 917 (1991). 

***The estate of Roseanne sued M.F. Pitt Tobacco Co. claiming that she died of lung cancer caused by cigarette smoke. Roseanne was not a smoker, but her estate claimed that she was injured by breathing “environmental tobacco smoke” coming directly from the cigarette into the air or exhaled by nearby people who smoked.

Discuss whether or not Roseanne should be considered as a “bystander” or as a “user” of the product, and what resulting duty if any, was owed to her by the cigarette manufacturer. See MacPherson v. Buick Motor Co. at 217 N.Y. 382, 111 N.E. 1050 (1916).

Determine if the injured party should recover damages from the manufacturer in the stated example and state your rationale.

Failure Happens. Where Do You Go Next? (KS)

We don’t always succeed at everything we try, but failure is not necessarily a bad thing. What is really important regarding failure is what we do AFTER we fail.

Sometimes we learn something about ourselves, make changes, try again and succeed… the point is that a failure can be a true learning experience and/or a growth experience.

In this post, you will:

1. Share a personal experience of a failure which became a lesson or growth experience.
2. Describe the situation.
3. Share your feelings at the time of the failure and your feelings at some point after the failure.
4. Describe how you found the courage/strength/grit to move forward, try again…
5. Explain what the experience taught you and how you will continue to apply what you learned.

POST 3: (CA)

Tenant Protections in the Law

This week’s material discusses some of the rights and duties of landlords and tenants.

• Do you think the law does enough to protect tenants from landlords?
• What laws are there protecting tenants in your state?

POST 4:

Constructing Confidence Intervals

• In the discussion for week 4, you rolled a pair of dice 10 times and calculated the average sum of your rolls.
• Then you did the same thing with 20 rolls.
• Use your results from the week 4 discussion for the average of 10 rolls and for the average of 20 rolls to construct a confidence interval for the true mean of the sum of a pair of dice (assume σ = 2.41).
• What do you notice about the length of the interval for the mean of 10 rolls versus the mean of 20 rolls? Did you expect this? Why or why not?
