Collect a set of 10 real, quantitative data values. Do this by asking people or observing items. For example, find the heights of 10 adults, find the annual income of 10 adults, measure the lengths of 10 different cars, record the number of children in 10 households, etc. The possibilities are endless! Make sure to completely describe and list the data so your classmates will understand your results and can check your results. Calculate the mean. Show and explain your work. Calculate the median. Show and explain your work.

Pick a classmate who has not been responded to yet. Check their calculations in post 1 using the TI calculator. Explain how you put the data into your calculator and how to get the answers (TI-83/84, it’s different for TI-Nspire). What buttons do you need to use? What do you need to put into the TI calculator? If any of the answers are not correct, tactfully identify the error and show the work correctly. Check all calculations carefully because if you miss a mistake it will affect your grade.

· Use primary sources for this information.
· Identify key supporters and those who do not support the bill. Explain why some of these individuals support the bill and why some do not.
· Explore the positions of the key stakeholders in the bill, both pros and cons. Do not make assumptions about potential key stakeholders. Examine this area carefully so you are correctly reflecting the stakeholders positions.
· Discuss how the bill would impact a nurse’s ability to provide safe and quality care or to practice to the highest scope of the nursing license.
· Explain specific actions that nurses can take to assist with the passage or defeat of the legislation

Define the highlighted terms in your own words. erythema and alopecia

Case Study Scenario
The internist recommends a dermatology workup for a suspected SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) in her 40-year-old female patient. The patient presents symptoms, including erythema rash across her cheeks and nose, photosensitivity resulting in a raised rash in sun-exposed areas, patches of alopecia, and pain and stiffness in her joints. The dermatologist examines the patient and orders exfoliative cytology and fungal scrapings to rule out other sources of the rash. Her internist had already placed the patient on oral anti-inflammatory medication for joint pain. The dermatologist orders corticosteroid cream for the rash. The patient is advised to use sunscreen and make a follow-up appointment for the results of the biopsy.
The Red-Faced Runner Case Study Questions
What pathological condition does the internist think this patient might have? Look this condition up in a reference source, and include a short description of it. SLE is an autoimmune disease. Use a reference source to look up the name of another autoimmune disease. 
Define the highlighted terms in your own words. erythema and alopecia (4 points)
What diagnostic tests did the dermatologist perform? Describe them in your own words. Why were they important in helping the dermatologist make a diagnosis?
Each physician (internist and dermatologist) initiated a treatment. List and describe them in your own words. 
What do you think the term workup means?

Marker’s Tattoo Studio wants to buy new laser therapy equipment. This new equipment would cost $300,000 to purchase and $20,000 to install. Marker’s estimates that this new equipment would yield incremental margins of $98,000 annually due to new client services. It would require incremental cash maintenance costs of $10,000 annually. Marker’s expects the life of this equipment to be 5 years. They estimate a terminal disposal value of $20,000. Marker’s has a 25% income tax rate and depreciates assets on a straight-line basis (to terminal value) for tax purposes. The required rate of return on investments is 10%. Determine the expected increase in annual net income from investing in the new equipment.

Marker’s has a 25% income tax rate and depreciates assets on a straight-line basis (to terminal value) for tax purposes. The required rate of return on investments is 10%.

Determine the expected increase in annual net income from investing in the new equipment.
Calculate the accrual accounting rate of return based on average investment.
Summarize whether the new equipment is worth investing in from a net present value (NPV) standpoint.

Suppose that the tax authorities are willing to let Marker’s depreciate the new equipment down to zero over its useful life. If Marker’s plans to liquidate the equipment in 5 years, should it take this option? Quantify the impact of this choice on the NPV of the new equipment.
