In recent years there has been incredible growth in the number of software applications that have been designed to help support project management and project management teams
In recent years there has been incredible growth in the number of software applications that have been designed to help support project management and project management teams. These software options are quite diverse, with individual applications being designed to fit both particular industries as well as different types of project groups with varying constituencies and makeups. With this huge variety of applications available, it is important for project managers to understand the capabilities of several systems, as well as being able to select a system that best meets the needs of the project team that they are managing. In some cases, project groups will use pre-selected software packages, but in other groups, the project manager may have the liberty to select applications that are the best fit for that team.
In this assignment, we will be evaluating web-based project management tools that are primarily designed to help manage team interaction and project reporting.
Choose one of the services listed below and write a short review of its features and benefits. Be sure to include the following in your evaluation:
Are the features of this software?
How does this software facilitate group interaction?
How does this software facilitate the sharing of files or project updates?
Who do you believe is the primary Market for this service?
Thinking about your own project, with this software be a good fit? Why or why not?

You decide to invest $100,000 in a program that is guaranteed to grow by 2.5% for each of the next 5 years. At the end of the 5 years, how much is your investment worth?
• 4-2 What is the effective annual rate of an investment that pays 6% for 5 years, compounded semiannually?
• 4-3 What is the present value of a single cash flow of $25,000 received at the end of 10 years, if we assume a discount rate of 5% annually? With a discount rate of 7%?
• 4-4 Suppose you deposit $100 in a savings account that compounds annually at 2%. After 1 year at this rate, the bank changes its rate of compounding to 1.5% annually. Assuming the compounding rate does not change for 4 additional years, how much will your account be worth at the end of the 5-year period?
Calculating the Future Value of Money: Compounding
Calculating the Future Value of Money: Compounding
The simplest example of money growing over time (compounding) is a savings account at a bank. Individuals choose to deposit money in the bank for a variety of reasons, including the knowledge that money invested in the bank grows because interest is earned on the money. For example, if an initial deposit of $100 is made in a bank that promises to pay 2% interest annually, at the end of 12 months a total of $102 is available. The original deposit has grown or compounded from $100 to $102. The additional $2 is the interest earned on the deposit.
If the money is left in the bank for another year, assuming no change in the interest rate, at the end of year 2 a total of $104.04 is available in the account. The original $100 has grown or compounded by $4.04 as a result of interest earnings on the account. Thus, using conventional terminology, the future value of $100 invested for 2 years at an interest rate of 2% compounded annually is $104.04. The increase in the account in the second year is $2.04, not $2.00, as was earned in year 1. This is because the amount in the account at the end of year 1 (i.e., the amount that is compounded for an additional [second] year) was $102 (the original $100 deposit + $2 of interest earned to that point in time). Thus, during year 2, 2% was earned on $102, not $100.
In situations involving compounding or discounting, it is helpful to create a “picture” or timeline of the investment scenario. A timeline is used to indicate the present and future value of money, the applicable interest rate, and the length of time involved. In fact, always beginning a time value of money analysis with a timeline may be a prerequisite for accurate calculations.
For example, Figure 4-1 depicts the situation just described. Note that time period “0” refers to the present time (i.e., now), and that the future value refers to the size of account at the end of the time period indicated. The compounding (interest) rate is shown on the timeline for the appropriate time periods. Creating a timeline is a simple, yet helpful tool to organize the “facts” of the investment opportunity and to help ensure that mangers have all the information required for decision making.
In general terms, compounding is represented by the following equation:
Future Value = Present Value + Interest Earned (I)
where
Interest Earned = Present Value * Interest Rate (i)
Figure 4-1 Timeline Showing Present Value (PV) and Future Value (FV) of $100 Invested for 2 Years at a 2% Annual Rate
Stated another way:
FV = PV + I
which is the same as:
FV = PV + (PV*i)
Simplifying:
FV = PV(1 + i) Equation 4-1
Using Equation 4-1 for the preceding example described, where the present value is the amount of the original deposit (i.e., $100) and the interest rate is 2%, the future value at the end of year 1 is calculated as:
FVyear 1 = $100(1 + 0.02)
= $100(1.02)
= $102
In the second year, another year’s interest is earned. To reflect this second year of interest, using Equation 4-1:
FVyear 2 = PV(1 + i)(1 + i) Equation 4-1
= PV(1 + i)2
This is the same as:
FVyear 2 = FVyear 1(1 + i)
Each term (1 + i), known as the compounding factor, indicates an additional period during which interest is being earned. In this example, it is said that interest is compounded for two periods. Substituting numbers in the equation, the future value at the end of year 2 is calculated to be:
Using the following narrative, create a general system flow chart.
Using the following narrative, create a general system flow chart. When a patient arrives at the clinic the patient first sees the receptionist, who checks to see if the patient was seen before. If so, the receptionist pulls the medical record from the file. If the patient is new, the receptionist has the patient complete the necessary forms and creates a medical record. Patients are seen by the physician in the order they arrive. If one of the two examination rooms is empty, the nurse escorts the patient to the examination room and records the complaint. The nurse performs routine tests. The nurse writes the complaint and findings on a medical examination form, a form that will be subsequently filed with the patient’s medical record. The physician examines the patient and orders medical tests, if necessary. A diagnosis and treatment plan is presented to the patient by the physician; a written copy of this plan and any other appropriate instructions. [Notes are written on the medical examination form.] When the physician releases the patient, the patient returns to the receptionist, who prepares a bill. If the patient has health insurance, the bill is sent to the health insurance carrier. The patient leaves after either paying the bill (by cash, check, or credit card) or signing the forms to authorize payment by his or her health insurance company. If the health insurance company refuses to pay or partially pays the bill, the receptionist bills the patient by mail. Any patient with an unpaid bill or bad credit history is refused subsequent treatment until the old bill is paid.

10. Hardships or limitations to your study? Are results valid and reliable?
Given that justice can be known from the experience of injustice, what does the experience of the Mexican immigrants in Farmingville say about justice?
no hiring halls, and day laborers continue to congregate at local stores in search of work. The situation, while still tense, has become somewhat less inflammatory than it was when the Mexicans first arrived.
Aggravated residents have either moved out orbecome more tolerant.
Questions
1. Given that justice can be known from the experience of injustice, what does the experience of the Mexican immigrants in Farmingville say about justice?
2. Justice is something that continues to take root and flourish. In this case, though, polarization seems to have preempted solidarity, or has it? Why or why not?
3. Sacred Scripture reveals a God who has a special love for the “lost, last, and the least.” How do the Mexicans compare with the anawim that the Judeo-Christian Scriptures referred to as highly favored by God?
4. What are the risks that undocumented immigrants take by staying in Farmingville and not applying for citizenship?
5. The United States is a land of immigrants. Why do some in the United States proudly acknowledge this and yet not accept immigrants in their neighborhoods?
6. Consider this case on immigration as the “see” in the see-judge-act methodology CST uses to assess unjust political, social, and economic situations.
What principle(s) would you consider as helpful as an evaluative lens to “judge” this situation? What kind of “action” would you propose given what you “see” and “judge”?

Health Education Teaching Activity
Health Education Teaching Activity
Purpose:
The purpose of this activity is to help you understand the process of health teaching of patients/clients by engaging in effective assessment;identification of learning needs/issues associated with the learning experience; planning and implementing interventions and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions with a target client (using a family member or friend).
Note that this clinical activity is meant to facilitate the application of course content about health education/teaching—a common and significant Public Health intervention. Most clinical experiences in the Community/Population Health course typically involve some type of client contact which includes formal or informal teaching of minor to complex content.
Using course content sources at minimum, you will be able to:
1. Construct a health teaching/lesson plan for a single client, based on the following:
• a thorough assessment of a client’s learning needs and barriers/facilitators of their learning,
• appropriate selection of relevant and effective teaching/learning strategies, and
• application of concepts using a common health promotion model and/or learning theory.
2. Evaluate the success of implementing the plan.
3. Document this activity in a formal written paper.
Course Outcomes:
This activity aligns with several of the course outcomes as stated below:
1. Demonstrate critical thinking through analysis and interpretation of assessment data and the development of individualized health education solutions.
2. Demonstrate the use of culturally appropriate and effective communication techniques.
Part 2: Design a teaching module to help educate a client about a health-related topic.
A. Complete this grid for your education session:
Client: Describe client (no names please): Age, gender, health risk-factors
Topic:HYPERTENSION
Learning Style:
Learning Theory:
Learning Objectives * Content Outline Strategies ** & Materials*** Evaluation
Was the learning objective met? If not, why? Suggestions for future?
* At least 2 objectives are required. What do you want your client to know by the end of your teaching? (Objectives can be cognitive, affective and/or psychomotor
in type - usually a combination is best). Note that achievement of the objective is part of the Evaluation column.
**What strategies did you plan to use to facilitate your client’s learning? Visuals? Demo?
*** Materials like visuals used, handouts, etc. can be appended to this paper
[Feel free to adjust column widths as needed]
B: Summarize your teaching plan in an APA formatted word document, 3-4-pages (not including the reference page and appendices)
Sections of the Paper(copy bolded titles here as subheadings in your paper to enhance organization and clarity).
• The Client:Describe the client (initials only), including:
o at least 3 demographics that are related to learning (e.g. age, language etc);
o any “red flags” for low health literacy (for this exercise, it will be useful to assume low health literacy for your client)
o any contributory/relevant health history (e.g. physical or cognitive limitations)
• Analysis of Learning Needs: Including:
o clearly identify the topic of focus for the plan
o barriers to learning that need to be considered (e.g. developmental stage, special learning needs)
o individual learning style(s)
o facilitators of learning (e.g. willingness to learn; education level etc)
• Teaching/Lesson Plan: This section will be written in narrative format as a summary of the teaching plan in table format (see above).
• Application of a Behavior Model/Theory. Select ONE “Behavior Model/Theory” cited in your textbook or the pre-briefing material. (An example would be the Health Belief Model or one of the Learning Theories). Consider how this model/theory may apply/did apply to this teaching activity? Comment in at least 2 paragraphs.
• Reference list. Format in APA. Include any class content you used.
• Appendices. Append any visuals you used during your teaching session (links are ok).
Part 4: Evaluation of the Teaching Plan
• Evaluation: How do I know your client learned anything?
o Were stated objectives met?Provide some detail as to how you know the objective was met (for example, did the client repeat back the information to you (teach-back method?) or do a return demonstration? If the objective was NOT met, reflect on why it was not and propose a different approach.
• Summary Reflect on this activity. Include at least 1 paragraphs of comments that include a balanced assessment of how things went!
Choose a topic with your client that’s fairly simple, but not too simple-like hand hygiene! This activity is mostly about seeing how you engage in teaching based on thoughtful consideration, including application of class content pertaining to effective health education. Recall that health education is one of many significant primary or tertiary prevention strategies in Public Health. So, this is NOT about detailed content about a complex medical problem as much!

Diet and Lab Values
Discussion: Diet and Lab Values
Mark, a single father of a 2-year-old son, Jacob, stops every morning at a local fast food restaurant to pick up breakfast for himself and his son on their way to daycare. Mark says, “I don’t have time to cook in the mornings, and I can’t feed Jacob anything I make at home any cheaper than this. Besides, he really loves these sausage and egg sandwiches, and at least I can get him to eat them!”
Mark has a family history of diabetes, as well as hyperlipidemia, and has the following risk factors for cardiovascular disease: primary hypertension (treated with medication), cigarette smoking, inactive lifestyle, and occasionally eating foods high in sodium. Both of his parents died at young ages due to what Mark calls “heart troubles,” and his brother has high cholesterol. During his physical, Mark learns that his lipid panel is as follows: total cholesterol 245 mg/dl, LDL 180 mg/dl, and HDL 35 mg/dl.
As his nurse, you know that risk factors for cardiovascular disease are fixed or modifiable. Give at least two examples of each.
1. For modifiable risk factors, what can be done to reduce risk?
2. What is the significance of Mark’s blood work? What does a normal lipid profile look like?
3. Based on the information provided in the scenario, how would you educate him?
Be sure to include physical fitness and nutrition based on the USDA 2015 Dietary Guidelines and (Links to an external site.) covered in Week 1.
