Case Study Questions: Perform these tasks for Whaler to determine these confidence intervals on the aggregate level of U.S. dollar cash flows to be received. Whaler uses the methodology described here, rather than simply combining the results for individual countries (from the previous chapter) because exchange rate movements may be correlated. Review the annual percentage changes in the four exchange rates. Do they appear to be positively correlated? Estimate the correlation coefficient between exchange rate movements with either a calculator or a spreadsheet package. Based on this analysis, you can fill out the following correlation coefficient matrix. A$C$NZ$£ A$1.00——— C$ 1.00—— NZ$ 1.00— £ 1.00 Would the aggregate dollar cash flows to be received by Whaler in this case be riskier than if the exchange rate movements were completely independent? Explain. One Whaler executive has suggested that a more efficient way of deriving the confidence intervals would be to use the exchange rates instead of the percentage changes as the scenarios, and to derive U.S. dollar cash flow estimates directly from them. Do you think this method would be as accurate as the method now used by Whaler? Explain.

Rural residents often live far from health care providers, telemedicine (in which patients and health care providers communicate visually over the Internet) may be a solution. Do you think this is an adequate solution, or should rural areas give health care providers financial and other incentives to move to their locations? Explain your answer.

  An older client was recently discharged from the hospital for evaluation of seizure activity. His history reveals that he has late-stage Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, hypertension, and type II diabetes mellitus, which is controlled by diet. He lives at home, where his wife and daughter take care of him. His discharge medications include phenytoin (Dilantin), 100 mg BID; hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDIURIL), 50 mg QD; levodopa (Sinemet), 25/100 TID; and haloperidol (Haldol), 1 mg before bed. The client has been referred for home care nursing follow-up. Questions: On the initial home visit by the nurse, what assessments should be made? The wife and daughter need teaching about his antiepileptic medication. What teaching should be included?

Keep the focus on how social policy and individual behavior need to change to address this problem. What do people who are working on this issue propose? Do you think it's enough?

It can be overwhelming to contemplate the various environmental problems that we face today.  However, there are many ways we, as a society, and as individuals, can work to address these problems. For this assignment, choose one of the significant issues we face (climate change, food production/pollution, land or water pollution, nuclear waste, etc.) and propose solutions.  You will want to do some additional research that looks into what people are already doing to address this issue. 
Keep the focus on how social policy and individual behavior need to change to address this problem. What do people who are working on this issue propose? Do you think it's enough? Also, do you think that the solution involves a steady-state society, a scaled-back society, or an expanding society?
