Describe how the following example illustrates one or more of the system characteristics that contribute to dynamic complexity. Example: Medical Associates is a for-profit medical group of 40 physicians that operates two facilities and offers services in several medical specialties, including cardiology; ear, nose, and throat; family medicine; gastroenterology; general surgery; pediatrics; and obstetrics and gynecology. Medical Associates is open six days a week in each location from 8:00 am until 6:00 pm. Plans are being developed to extend its hours to 9:00 pm two days a week. For several years, Medical Associates discounted its listed fees by 3 percent to 5 percent for its managed care contracts, but a few years ago, it had to accept larger discounts to remain in the networks of health plans.

Medical Associates to change its staffing from relying solely on registered nurses (RNs) to hiring medical assistants (MAs) as well. Currently, all physicians assigned to primary care service are assigned one RN or MA to assist with patient care. Physicians assigned to surgery are assigned one RN for every two physicians. As RNs retire or reassign, they have been replaced with MAs. On five recent occasions, when an RN assigned to a senior physician resigned, the senior physician demanded that the RN assigned to a junior physician be reassigned to him and that a new MA be hired to fill the vacancy with the junior physician. This ad hoc system of job switching has caused internal turmoil between the senior and junior physicians and has led to the subsequent resignation of two RNs who did not want to be reassigned

A nursing degree can open up many different career opportunities, but with so many levels of nursing, it can be confusing to know which one is right for you. One nursing student recently found a great resource at https://www.nursingpaper.com/questions/what-are-levels-of-nursing/ that provided detailed information on the different levels of nursing, from Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) to Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). With this information, the student was able to better understand the different educational and training requirements for each level, as well as the scope of practice and potential career paths. Armed with this knowledge, the student felt more confident about choosing the right nursing degree program and career path for their goals and interests. What are some other levels of nursing that are not mentioned in the article, and how do they differ from the ones mentioned?

Week One Signature Assignment Presentation – Details
Signature Assignment Presentation (PLO 2) – Due in Week 3
Each student will investigate one specific health behavior that will be chosen from the list below. The purpose of the presentation is as follows: 1) to describe behavioral and non-behavioral variables contributing to morbidity and mortality; 2) discuss methods that have used a health behavior theory or model to change a health behavior. In-text citations and references are to be cited using the APA 6th Edition. Each slide should have narration. The presentation should contain at least one of the following: graph; chart; graphic; photo; brief content with no spelling mistakes on each slide.
Students will work individually to present a PowerPoint presentation with at least 10 slides and 7-10 minutes in length that cites evidence from credible sources (e.g., peer-reviewed journals, government reports, textbook) to:
define the health behaviorexplain the public health significance of the health behavior (e.g., prevalence, population, morbidity, mortality)
identify at least one behavioral variable (e.g., risk factor) contributing to morbidity and/or mortality associated with the health behavior
identify at least one non-behavioral variable (e.g., health consequence) contributing to morbidity and/or mortality associated with the health behavior
describe at least one intervention that used a health behavior theory or model and was effective in modifying the health behavior
Presentation Topics Based on Health Behaviors Identified in Health People 2020Note: It is the responsibility of each student to focus on the health behavior (e.g., smoking, binge drinking, insufficient sleep, condom use) aspect of any Healthy People 2020 objective that can be addressed to prevent morbidity (i.e., disease) and mortality (i.e., death). Health behaviors can be associated with protection (e.g., meeting physical activity guidelines) or risk (e.g., smoking cigarettes which can lead to lung disease).

Suppose that the average cell phone bill at Bellevue University is $38.90 per month with a standard deviation of $3.64 per month. If I take a sample of 44 students, what is the probability that the mean amount of their monthly phone bill is greater than $41.00? Explain in words how you used Excel to find the z-score and probability, then attach a screen shot of the two outputs in Excel. For your second post, find the probability that the mean amount of their monthly phone bill differs from the expected mean by more than $1.00, again showing your output and explaining your solution,
