Review the program case study for the Petrakis family.

/in /by

In the Christ & Diwan (2008) article, the authors list seven domains that social workers should address in order to fully assess an older client’s needs. Each domain is considered equally important. This comprehensive evaluation fits well with the social work perspective that it is important to not only address the internal concerns of clients but also their environment. Making decisions for older adults without their input occurs often. In society people sometimes treat their elders like children—making decisions for them based on what they think is best rather than from the client’s perspective. While at times this may be well intentioned, the potential for infantilism and, in turn, compromised self-determination, occurs.

For this Discussion, review the program case study for the Petrakis family. You will focus not on Helen, but on her mother-in-law, Magda. What decisions were made about Magda’s treatment without a formal assessment and/or her input? Consider how Christ & Diwan’s (2008) seven domains relate to Magda’s case. Complete an assessment for Magda and identify the choices that were made without her feedback.

Provide a Discussion Post which contains the following paragraph topics, headings, and sections:

– a summary of your assessment of Magda’s situation that addresses the seven domains.

o Fill in the gaps in content as necessary.

– Describe ways you would have included Magda in the original assessment and treatment plan.

– Include questions you would have asked Magda and her professional support system (doctors, nurses, etc.) to gain further insight into the situation.

Support your post with specific references to the Learning Resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

Must contain 3 references and citations.

Choose a clinical situation in your specialty and create a theory from your observations. Identify and define the concepts involved and the proposition between them.

Choose a clinical situation in your specialty and create a theory from your observations. Identify and define the concepts involved and the proposition between them. For example, a surgical unit nurse may have observed that elevating the head of the bed for an abdominal surgery patient reduces complaints of pain. The concepts are head of the bed and pain. The proposition is that changing one will change the other. Raising the head of the bed decreases pain. Use current literature to define your concepts.

Expectations

Initial Post:

  • Length: A minimum of 250 words, not including references
  • Citations: At least one high-level scholarly reference in APA format from within the last 5 years

financial accounting

/in /by

The assignment requires the use of the Library/Internet research to locate and study written articles on any topics on financial accounting that was covered in the class. The student is required to critique, analyze, and evaluate the articles as they relate to what was learned in class by writing a four to six-page paper (12 font, double spaced, APA format).

The objective of this activity is for you to be aware of what is happening in the real world as it relates to financial accounting issues to make the study of accounting more meaningful, and to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Your paper should be a minimum of 4 typed pages, double spaced, one inch margins, 12 pt Times New Roman font. You should include a minimum of three quality peer reviewed academic sources.

Use the data to construct a model that predicts the tax assessment value assigned to medical office buildings with specific characteristics.

nstructions:

The Excel file for this assignment contains a database with information about the tax assessment value assigned to medical office buildings in a city. The following is a list of the variables in the database:

· FloorArea: square feet of floor space

· Offices: number of offices in the building

· Entrances: number of customer entrances

· Age: age of the building (years)

· AssessedValue: tax assessment value (thousands of dollars)

Use the data to construct a model that predicts the tax assessment value assigned to medical office buildings with specific characteristics.

· Construct a scatter plot in Excel with FloorArea as the independent variable and AssessmentValue as the dependent variable. Insert the bivariate linear regression equation and r^2 in your graph. Do you observe a linear relationship between the 2 variables?

· Use Excel’s Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis of FloorArea and AssessmentValue. Is FloorArea a significant predictor of AssessmentValue?

· Construct a scatter plot in Excel with Age as the independent variable and AssessmentValue as the dependent variable. Insert the bivariate linear regression equation and r^2 in your graph. Do you observe a linear relationship between the 2 variables?

· Use Excel’s Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis of Age and Assessment Value. Is Age a significant predictor of AssessmentValue?

Construct a multiple regression model.

· Use Excel’s Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis with AssessmentValue as the dependent variable and FloorArea, Offices, Entrances, and Age as independent variables. What is the overall fit r^2? What is the adjusted r^2?

· Which predictors are considered significant if we work with α=0.05? Which predictors can be eliminated?

· What is the final model if we only use Floor Area and Offices as predictors?

· Suppose our final model is:

· Assessed Value = 115.9 0.26 x Floor Area 78.34 x Offices

· What would be the assessed value of a medical office building with a floor area of 3500 sq. ft., 2 offices, that was built 15 years ago? Is this assessed value consistent with what appears in the database?
