Case Study 4:
A middle-aged female presents to the office complaining of strep throat. She states she suddenly developed a sore throat yesterday afternoon, and it has gotten worse since then. During the night she felt like she was chilled and feverish. She denies known recent contact with anyone else who had strep throat, but states she has had strep before and it feels like she has strep now. She takes no medications, but is allergic to penicillin. The physical examination reveals a slender female lying on the examination table. She has a temperature of 101 degrees Fahrenheit, heart rate of 112, respiratory rate of 22, and blood pressure of 96/64. The head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat evaluation is positive for bilateral tonsillar swelling without exudates. Her neck is supple with bilateral, tender, enlarged anterior cervical nodes.
To prepare:

*** Please note, you can send me an update after each questions done so I can review them.

This is the guidelines for this comprehensive exam, please read this carefully before starting to work on questions/cases:

The Questions
• The exam has six questions to be answered and submitted separately, dealing with Strategy, Marketing, Operations Management, Managerial Economics and Quantitative Analysis, Finance, and Human Resource Management.
• Read the case, all of the questions, and any specific instructions that accompany them. The requirements of the question will usually determine the general structure of your essay.
• Sort question requirements into major and minor points.
• Determine if there are clues to the type of analysis or presentation to be used and whether you are required to give a recommendation or conclusion.
Case Information
• One case is used for the exam, and all questions are based on this case.
• Organize the case information. First read the case and immediately start answering questions. This is inadvisable. Organize the information according to the functional areas – Strategy, Human Resource, Marketing, Finance, Operations and Managerial Economics.
• Rely on data that is in the case even if you know what happened later or elsewhere. Unless otherwise noted, assume you are writing at about the same time as the events in the case occur.
• Finding more information about the organization in the case usually is not productive unless specifically requested in an exam question. Outside references may be used to make reasonable assumptions about the general business environment.
• Find a focus or filter for analyzing the relevant material from the case. For instance, are chains of causality evident? Can points of view be contrasted and compared? Are there trends, gaps, or blind spots?
Course Methods and Frameworks
• Identify what concepts and theories from your textbook(s), courseware, and discussions can be brought to bear on the particular question.
• Select methods or frameworks with which to organize your case data.
• Limit yourself to material from the specific course the question is based upon.
Organization and Presentation
• Review the information below:
 Remember that exceeding the 1,000-word limit by more than 5% will result in a penalty. The marker/evaluator will delete the excess words from the end of the document and will then evaluate the assignment. For example, if the “Recommendations” section is deleted, no marks will be given for “Recommendations.”
 A cover sheet, executive summary, table of contents, and bibliography are not required, but a list of references is required
 Presentations in tables or any other format placed in the main part of the paper are included in the word count.
 Appendices are not included in the word count, but it is important that they are used appropriately and in a limited way. The markers will not peruse the appendices to find important answers. For instance, having a table detailing calculations in an appendix is fine as long as the important points are distilled and included in the main body of the response. If there is an error, these details help the coach to see whether the error was a conceptual error or a simple calculation or typing error.
 Likewise, endnotes and footnotes are not included in the word count. Like appendices, they should not provide critical content information, but only non-essential information that may be referenced by the reader.
 While the percentages for each part and sub-question are a guide, how you want to divide the work limit among the various parts of a question is up to you, unless otherwise specified in the exam question.
 Where point form or bulleted lists are used, make sure that these adequately communicate your thoughts.
 Save your answers for each question of the exam in separate MS Word documents using the following file name format: Q#.docx (where Q# refers to the question number). For example, your answer to Question 1—Strategy would be saved as Q1.docx.

• It is helpful to prepare an outline of your answer, using the parts and sub-questions to create headings and sub-headings in the outline. List the major points of your answer to each part or sub-question along with notes on the sources you wish to cite from your course materials and relevant parts of the case. This outline can keep you on track when you begin writing your answer so that key points are not missed and minor points do not derail your thought process. Noting your sources helps you check that you have the correct facts and figures from the case, that you are drawing on the relevant concepts and theories from your course materials, and that you have referenced your sources properly.
• Use the précis style when writing your answers:
 Keep introductions and conclusions short.
 Clearly state any assumptions.
 Make each paragraph one complete unit of thought. The first sentence of each paragraph should state what it is about. Break up long paragraphs.
 Avoid copying long passages into your essay. Incorporate them by reference.
 Use the active voice (good resources are Strunk’s The Elements of Style [4th ed.] referred to in your MBAO Study Guide or your Prentice Hall Reference Guide for Canadian Writers).
 Use grammar and spell checkers as necessary. Review and edit your work as needed.
• Check your citations for correct APA format and prepare a Reference list (for only those sources you actually cited, a bibliography is not needed).
Ways to Increase Your Mark
• Each question must be awarded a 70% grade to be considered a pass. Students are allowed only one sub-70% mark to successfully pass the exam. It is acceptable to submit only five answers. Any answer not submitted will be treated as a fail.
• Based on marker feedback, papers receiving lower marks typically have the following problems:
 Do not display a logical thought process that proceeds from statement of the issue to presentation and analysis of relevant data and then to a firm conclusion.
 Fail to differentiate between highly important and less important issues. As a result, too many objectives are addressed. Read the question carefully to understand what is being asked.
 Indicate that students have difficulty reading or following instructions – for example, adhering to word limits or using appropriate font and font size.

Questions you may want to consider include: What do you think of the decision to move Barnes’ private collection to a public museum? Should the preservation and display of the work come at the cost of the collector’s stated intentions? Who should get to claim ownership over artistic/cultural objects: the collector, the artist, the artist/collector’s estate, the public, or the local or federal government? What role do you think art collections — public or private — play or should play within society?

Consider this statement from the Neoclassical perspective or the perspective of human capital theorist. Then consider the statement from the

perspective of the political economist.
(A complete essay will address the following questions. Is the above statement , a statement that only has meaning within a Capitalist context? Does

“whiteness” or “blackness” play a role in either perspective? What is that role? Is the statement itself discriminatory?)

 

Drawing Conclusions About Research Findings and Their Implications for Clinical Practice
As a current or future nursing researcher and professional, your ability to draw reasonable conclusions from research findings will determine the

effectiveness of proposed solutions for clinical nursing practice. As you continue to develop your skill set to become a nursing leader, your exposure

to a multitude of research designs, research findings, and evidence-based practice will likely inform how you will absorb this knowledge into meaningful

clinical practice. Throughout this course and program, your exposure to different research questions, research study designs, and approaches to

addressing serious issues in both nursing and health care confirms the ever-changing landscape in which you have elected to practice. While this is in

its own right challenging, it also offers several opportunities to create new knowledge, improve upon current nursing practice, and exercise research

skills for positive patient outcomes.
For this Assignment, review the research methods and findings of the Verweij study conducted in 2014. The primary purpose of this quantitative research

study was to investigate the effectiveness of an intervention to decrease medication errors in a hospital. The citation and discussion/conclusion

information is intentionally deleted so you can draw your own conclusions.
In a 2- to 3-page, double-spaced paper, describe three conclusions you have drawn from the findings in this study, taking into consideration the

limitations of the study. Next describe three implications for clinical practice. Once you have submitted the assignment, you will be given the full

article for review.
Refer to the Academic Writing Expectations (AWE) Checklist document and use the Walden template from this week’s resources. No abstract or reference

list is required for AWE 2000/3000.
