[order_calculator]For many months there had been rumors of a possible merger with another semi-rural hospital half again the size of yours located about 12 miles away. Both administration and the board of directors had been declining to comment on the rumors although it was apparent that some kind of negotiations were underway. In about mid-November all managers were officially notified that the merger would take place effective the first of January. The two hospitals were to become a single corporate entity with two locations, and functions and services would be consolidated wherever practical. Describe in detail the possible effects of the merger and all that it entails on you and your position.2) It is stated in the chapter that the three ways of getting employees to implement change are: Tell them what to do; Sell them on what must be done; and Involve them in determining the substance and direction of the change. For each of the three means, describe an instance in which it is a preferred or even essential approach and an instance in which it is an inappropriate or perhaps even harmful approach. 3) If you were hiring a new employee in your work unit, how would you rank the importance of the following qualities? That is, how much weight would you assign to each in making your decision? Explain.
Personal values (ex. work ethic and integrity)
Individual intelligence
Conscientiousness in performing the job
Some employers use integrity tests as part of the screening process. Are there problems with integrity tests? Can you test for integrity?
If you were a work unit supervisor, which of the following do you think is more important to improving organizational performance? Explain.
Encouraging employees to participate in work and organizational decisions
Setting clear, challenging work goals
As a manager you realize the supervisors who report to you make errors when they rate their employees (e.g., too lenient, rate everyone the same, etc.). You notice a consultant is offering a training session on how to avoid appraisal rating errors. How successful do you think such a course would be in eliminating these errors?
As a supervisor, if you asked or surveyed your employees about the importance of pay as a factor in making job decisions, do you think employees would over-state or understate its value to them?

[order_calculator]In the Mercantile period, from the 16th through the end of the 18th centuries, trade was driven by a need to accumulate gold and silver. Nations worked to restrict imports and drive exports. With the advent of the Industrial Age, classical economists began to look at trade and international commerce in a different light. In his seminal work The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith discussed the idea that the basis of trade could be seen in light of what he called absolute advantage. His contemporary, David Ricardo, took a different and modified approach and laid out a framework called comparative advantage. This latter theory is the basis for all modern views of international trade. For this Discussion Board, complete the following:
Define absolute and comparative advantage.
Compare the two views on trade.
How does the concept of opportunity cost factor into comparative advantage?

[order_calculator]Case Study 1AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome)
The patient, a 30-year-old homosexual man, complained of unexplained weight loss, chronic diarrhea, and respiratory congestion during the past 6 months. Physical examination revealed right-sided pneumonitis. The following studies were performed:
Studies
Results
Complete blood cell count (CBC), p. 174
Hemoglobin (Hgb), p. 259 12 g/dL (normal: 14-18 g/dL)
Hematocrit (Hct), p. 256 36% (normal: 42%-52%)
Chest X-ray, p. 1014 Right-sided consolidation affecting the posterior lower lung
Bronchoscopy, p. 587 No tumor seen
Lung biopsy, p. 738
Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP)
Stool culture, p. 855 Cryptosporidium muris
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) serology, p. 297 p24 antigen Positive
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

Western blot Positive
Lymphocyte immunophenotyping, p. 306
Total CD4 280 (normal: 600-1500 cells/L)
CD4%

CD4/CD8 ratio
0.58 (normal: >1.0)
Human immune deficiency virus (HIV) viral load, p. 297 75,000 copies/mLDiagnostic AnalysisThe detection of Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP) supports the diagnosis of AIDS. PCP is an opportunistic infection occurring only in immunocompromised patients and is the most common infection in persons with AIDS. The patient’s diarrhea was caused by Cryptosporidium muris, an enteric pathogen, which occurs frequently with AIDS and can be identified on a stool culture. The AIDS serology tests made the diagnoses. His viral load is significant, and his prognosis is poor.
The patient was hospitalized for a short time for treatment of PCP. Several months after he was discharged, he developed Kaposi sarcoma. He developed psychoneurologic problems eventually and died 18 months after the AIDS diagnosis.Critical Thinking Questions1. What is the relationship between levels of CD4 lymphocytes and the likelihood of clinical complications from AIDS?2. Why does the United States Public Health Service recommend monitoring CD4 counts every 3 to 6 months in patients infected with HIV? Case Study 2
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)A 35-year-old woman was active in jogging and horseback riding until 1 year ago. During the past year she began to notice severe weakness and paresthesia in her legs. Her gait became unsteady, and she developed loss of vision in one eye. A neurologist suspected multiple sclerosis (MS) and ordered the following studies:
Studies
Results
Routine laboratory work Within normal limits (WNL)
Lumbar puncture with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination, p. 651
Immunoglobulin (Ig) G index
0.8 (normal: 0.3-0.7)
IgG determination
20% (normal: 0%-11% of total protein)
Oligoclonal bands
Present (normal: none)
Evoked potentials (EPs), p. 562
Visual-evoked potentials
Abnormal latency
Auditory brainstem-evoked potentials
Normal
Somatosensory-evoked responses
Abnormal latency
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), p. 1106
Plaques indicative of multiple sclerosisDiagnostic AnalysisThe wide variety of symptom manifestation often makes MS difficult to diagnose; however, the above studies clearly identified MS as the patients problem. The CSF study results were classic for the diagnosis of MS. The abnormal latency demonstrated on the EP studies was the result of the demyelination process of MS. MRI revealed plaques indicative of MS.
The patient was given prednisone to decrease the inflammation and associated edema of the myelin sheath. When remission occurred, she was instructed about factors that exacerbate, prevent, or ameliorate symptoms.Critical Thinking Questions1. 2. What is latency, and why is it increased in MS?Students much review the case study and answer all questions with a scholarly response using APA and include 2 scholarly references. Answer both case studies on the same document and upload 1 document to Moodle.
Case Studies will be uploaded to Moodle and put through TURN-It-In (anti-Plagiarism program)

[order_calculator]Parallel Task Assignment Number One Type 1 Core II Hypothetical Case Background The superintendent is in California attending a national convention where she is presenting a paper on Tuesday morning. She will be returning to the district Thursday. The central office team consists of you (Assistant Superintendent for Business), Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Director of Special Education and Director of Buildings and Grounds. It is Monday 3:30 AM and your phone rings. It is the Director of Buildings and Grounds informing you that the fire department is presently at the High school putting out a fire in the principal’s office at the High School. Fire officials state that this fire was arson as there was a gasoline can found outside the window of the principals office. As your High School is one of three in Suffolk County with a rifle team, the fire department has removed boxes of ammunition and rifles from the building basement to avoid an explosion. These guns and ammo are now sitting on the lawn about 100 yards from the fire. The Buildings and Grounds Director estimates the damage to be well over $500,000 as the fire was so intense that it has buckled the steel beams above the principals office which supports two science classes directly above on the second floor. Moreover, there is extensive smoke damage throughout the building and High School classes will have to be canceled. He also mentions to you that mobile vans from news stations CBS and NBC are heading to the site. Upon hearing this you immediately contact the Superintendent. The Superintendent, unable to be in the district until she can catch the next flight out, asks that you coordinate everything until she can get back to the school district. The Superintendent asks that you carefully construct a plan of action and contact her within two hours so that she can review the plan and make any changes. She also asks that you update her on any new events. She mentions to you that she will contact the president of the board right away and will inform the president about the fire. Shortly after you hang up the phone, it rings again. Your wife answers and tells you its Newsday and they want to speak to you. Task Your task is to describe in 150-300 words a recommended plan of action for the Superintendent. Explain how you will deal with this emergency. Describe how you will mobilize your central office and building administrative staff and what steps you will take in the next 48 hours. What will you act on first, second and so forth? How will you go about informing students and staff? How will you inform parents? How will you handle the press? How will you go about getting the building ready for students? Who will you want to meet with beside employees? How will you contain hysteria? Etc. Grading of your assignment After you complete the assignment, your assignment will be measured using Task Elements based on the following four criteria: 1. Purpose- Fulfills the specific charge of the task 2. Application of Content- Accurately and effectively applies relevant knowledge and skills. 3. Support Provides evidentiary and/or logical support for the response through appropriate examples and sound reasoning 4. Conventions Exhibits logical development with appropriate transitions and manifests conventional spelling, punctuation, paragraphing, capitalization, grammar and usage SCORING SCALE/RUBRIC Each of the four Task Elements will be graded using a six (1-6) point likert scale. A score of six means the student has completely fulfilled the task A score of 1 means the student has failed to fulfill the task. Example- A perfect score would be 24 (4 x 6) and the worst score would be 4 (4 x 1) All four task scores will be averaged for an overall grade.
