Your boss wants to solve the problem at hand and has asked you to investigate. You have your employees pull thirty (30) bottles off the line at random from all the shifts at the bottling plant. You ask your employees to measure the amount of soda there is in each bottle. Note: Use the data set provided by your instructor to complete this assignment.Write a two to three (2-3) page report in which you:1.Calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation for ounces in the bottles.2.Construct a 95% Confidence Interval for the ounces in the bottles.3.Conduct a hypothesis test to verify if the claim that a bottle contains less than sixteen (16) ounces is supported. Clearly state the logic of your test, the calculations, and the conclusion of your test.4.Provide the following discussion based on the conclusion of your test:a. If you conclude that there are less than sixteen (16) ounces in a bottle of soda, speculate on three (3) possible causes. Next, suggest the strategies to avoid the deficit in the future.Orb.

As the newly hired manager of a 60-bed sub-acute nursing unit, you have been tasked to create a Fall Management Program that will reduce the rates of resident falls by 30% in the next quarter. As you study the monthly quality assurance data, you note the following trends:Monthly fall rates average about 40 falls; this number exceeds the state and national average for comparable settings by almost 50%The average age of the residents who sustained a fall is 77The average length of stay on this unit is 4 weeks as most residents come for short term rehabilitation following hospitalizationMore than half of the falls last month occurred in the resident bedrooms and another 30% occurred in their bathrooms40% of the falls over the past 3 months occurred on weekendsFive residents accounted for almost a third of the fallsDescribe how you will achieve your goals using a systems approach. What other data would you look at before planning your interventions? What approaches would you take? How would you implement this new program (a change initiative) to ensure enduring success? What systems would you put in place to evaluate its effectiveness? Differentiate between those interventions that are individual-based vs. systems-based (i.e., organization-wide).Note: please see attached files (pdf of the textbook and instructions)

The problem Nurse staffing shortage has an impact on budget as a financial management issue. Interview two people with knowledge of finances in a healthcare organization and asked them about staffing shortage. Ask the following questions:How long has the organization tried to address this issue?What measures have been taken to address this issue in the past?What future steps have been planned to address this issue?What problems does the organization foresee as blocks to addressing this issue?How did your perception of the financial issue differ from the perception of those who are actually working on finances in the organization? Be sure to explain the roles of the individuals you interviewed.Create an analysis of the patient care financial problem and specify the potential budget impact.

Medical malpractice is one area where tort reform is argued most heavily. Some concerns are that caps on damages might result in costs that ultimately fall on the taxpayer; other concerns are the increase in medical expenses for tests ordered before diagnosis by physicians hoping to eliminate a future claim of medical malpractice.First, research medical malpractice for an understanding of the elements of this cause of action. Then, read the following two articles and answer the questions posed.Kenney, K. (2009, Aug. 9). Fixing health care reform requires tort reform. Retrieved from http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2009/08/fixing_health_care_requires_to.htmlDoroshow, J. (2009, Nov. 9). Medical malpractice tort reform-we are already suffering and don’t need more. Retrieved from http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joanne-doroshow/medical-malpractice-tort_b_350573.html1.What must the plaintiff prove to prevail in a claim of medical malpractice? Clearly define this legal doctrine, including the element of this cause of action. How does medical malpractice differ from a standard negligence claim?2.What defenses, if any, exist for a claim of medical malpractice?3.Evaluate arguments for and against tort reform in the area of medical malpractice. You are encouraged to illustrate your arguments by using real case examples, either researched or from the material provided.4.Include new thoughts or ideas based on the module information. This is your reflection/insight that logically would flow from each information point presented.As a helpful explanation, in the area of torts we see many causes of action that are comprised of “elements.” For instance, if we discuss a situation involving negligence, we would define negligence stating, “Negligence occurs when a person’s conduct falls below the standard of care, resulting in a breach of duty which is the direct and proximate cause of injury to another person or thing. The elements of negligence are 1) duty; 2) breach; 3) causation; and 4) damages.” Then, each element would be analyzed, determining whether each one was met. It is imperative that each element of a tort claim is met for the plaintiff to prevail in a suit.Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length, not including the title or reference page. Review the grading rubric, which can be accessed from the Course Information page, and make sure to follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.

As a penetration tester, you are hired as a consultant by a small- to mid-sized business that is interested in calculating its overall security risk today, January 1, 2012. The business specializes in providing private loans to college students. This business uses both an e-Commerce site and point-of-sales devices (credit card swipes) to collect payment. Also, there exist a number of file transfer operations where sensitive and confidential data is transferred to and from several external partnering companies. The typical volume of payment transactions totals is approximately $100 million. You decide that the risk assessments are to take into account the entire network of workstations, VoIP phone sets, servers, routers, switches and other networking gear. During your interview with one of the business’s IT staff members, you are told that many external vendors want to sell security networking products and software solutions. The staff member also claimed that their network was too “flat.” During the initial onsite visit, you captured the following pertinent data to use in creation of the Penetration Test Plan.Non-stateful packet firewall separates the business’s internal network from its DMZ.All departments–including Finance, Marketing, Development, and IT–connect into the same enterprise switch and are therefore on the same LAN. Senior management (CEO, CIO, President, etc.) and the Help Desk are not on that LAN; they are connected via a common Ethernet hub and then to the switched LAN.All of the workstations used by employees are either Windows 98 or Windows XP. None of the workstations have service packs or updates beyond service pack one.Two (2) Web servers containing customer portals for logging in and ordering products exist on the DMZ running Windows 2000 Server SP1, and IIS v5.One (1) internal server containing Active Directory (AD) services to authenticate users, a DB where all data for the company is stored (i.e. HR, financial, product design, customer, transactions). The AD server is using LM instead of NTLMExplain the tests you would run and the reason(s) for running them (e.g. to support the risk assessment plan).Determine the expected results from tests and research based on the specific informational details provided. (i.e., IIS v5, Windows Server 2000, AD server not using NTLM)Analyze the software tools you would use for your investigation and reasons for choosing them.Describe the legal requirements and ethical issues involved.Using Visio or its open source alternative, provide a diagram of how you would redesign this business’ network. Include a description of your drawing. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.Propose your final recommendations and reporting. Explain what risks exist and ways to either eliminate or reduce the risk.Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment.Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
