Rational Choice Theory Scenario
What if you are a drug dealer, and you work on the corner of Fifth and Main Street. One morning, you walk to your corner to start work, and someone else is selling drugs there. To make matters worse, he has lower prices than you do. Clearly, he is trying to “steal” your customers, which cuts into your profit. What would you do? Do you think that the use of violence would be rational? What would be the benefits and costs of using violence?

Outline and discuss a plan to promote the value of the APN model to the public.
Using the latest statistics and evidence, provide a compelling argument and a brief background to the public about why APNP care is essential.
Discuss how you would promote the value of utilizing an APN as a provider of services.
Use data from sources that illustrate how efficient, and cost containing APNPs are versus other health care provider roles. This is not an exercise that diminishes our other colleagues, but one that promotes the value of the APNP role.
Example from former student
The roles of the APNs include:
APNs may be certified to see patients without a doctor, to order diagnostic tests, to make a clinical diagnosis, and to make important medical decisions. APNs can work in medical offices, hospitals, and nursing homes.
A plan to promote the value of the APN to the public:
Advanced practice nursing presents a contribution to client care with the application of the advanced scope of practice, experience in many domains of practice, integrated nursing knowledge and leadership I would share with the public information from the Federal Trade Commission, National Council of State Boards of Nursing, and the Institute of Medicine. Value is added when APNs see patients partly due to increased access to healthcare. A way the value of APNs can be promoted is by changing existing regulation/law so that the profession is independent..
Essential Care
APNs refers to an essential advocates for health care policy. There are clinical expertise and the educational background to present the case for passing legislation on health care issues. APNs are on the front lines of health care and treat multiple patients with unique needs and can relate personal experiences regarding how legislation can impact these patients. As nurse leaders, APNs must be involved in health policy. The APNs who advocate for major health policies can influence countless people throughout their state and the nation, depending on the level of the health policy. APNs can conduct quality improvement projects in their working environments, and can use their findings to help implement new policies at the facilities where they work. Another major way APNs can affect health policy is to write to their state or federal legislators regarding a health policy bill that has been filed. Because they work with patients on a daily basis, APNs can share personal stories about how an enacted bill could have helped a specific patient reduce complications, or perhaps may have reduced health costs by screening or treatment at an earlier disease stage. Involvement in health policy is the most important role an APN can have in impacting positive change in health care that will benefit multiple generations of patients across institutions, states, the nation, and even globally.
The Value of an APN
APNs are of great value within the health care setting. APNs are becoming more valuable and are also becoming more necessary. Consumer demand for APRN provided care is growing due to a shortage of primary care physicians, the soaring cost of health care, and a population that is aging and living longer with more acute and chronic conditions. APRNs practice in settings ranging from hospitals to community health centers to school-based health clinics, and they are especially valued in rural and underserved areas, where primary care physicians are hardest to find.
Reduction in Costs
There are many ways the APNs help reduce healthcare costs while improving quality. APNs help reduce the cost of patient visits across healthcare settings. Numerous studies show extensive savings within facilities that employ nurse practitioners. In Nursing Economics, it was found that APN-led care was associated with lower drug costs for inpatients in acute-care settings. Nursing Management has also published findings that show APNs in managed care deliver care at 23% below the average cost associated with other primary-care providers. APNs also keep patients out of the hospital. While chronic conditions take a toll on patients’ physical and emotional well-being, they also result in added costs. APNs are proven to decrease patient hospitalizations, ER visits and lengths of stay at various facilities, keeping healthcare costs down for patients, institutions and taxpayers, and reducing time and income lost from work.

Identify three factors that could worsen the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Nepalese rupee.
Strickler Technology Inc., a Texas-based manufacturer of computer equipment, is considering the establishment of a manufacturing plant in Nepal, a small South Asian country with a population of about 28.1 million. The country’s currency is the Nepalese rupee (NPR), and it is traded against most foreign currencies including the U.S. dollar. The exchange rate between the NPR and the U.S. dollar is quoted in the forex market as:
$1 = NPR 120
The financial team of the company has gathered that Nepal is a parliamentary republic with a multi-party system. Nepal’s GDP was $34.2 billion in 2019 with annual growth rate of 6.6%. Nepal is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, although the growth rate is expected to decline because of the covid-19 pandemic. Per the agreement with the Nepalese government, the project will be transferred to a local private entrepreneur at the end of 10 years. The financial management team of Strickler Technology Inc. has estimated the cost of the project in Nepal to be US$10 million.
Strickler Technology Inc. is also considering ways to improve its working capital management. The Credit manager of the company, Sean Messer MBA explained that the company can change some aspects of its short-term financial policy from aggressive approach to maturity matching approach to fund current assets to improve its working capital management, which can lead, in turn, to larger free cash flows and greater firm value. A board member, Jacky Jackson was of the view that cash budget is a primary tool of short-term financial planning that can be used to improve the cash management of the company. She believed that having short-to-medium term cash budget for the next five years can help the company identify its short-term financial needs or opportunities and the required amount needed to borrow for the next five years. In that way the company will be able to arrange for short-term finance in advance to reduce the risk of cash shortages.
The Board of the company needs your technical input to decide whether to enter the Nepalese market or not, and best ways to manage its working capital.
- Based on the exchange rate between the Nepalese rupee and the U.S. dollar, what is the cost of the project in Nepalese rupee?
- A computer costs $800 in the United States. The same model of computer costs NPR96,800 in Nepal, what is the spot exchange rate between NPR and the US dollar if purchasing power parity holds?
- Identify three factors that could worsen the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Nepalese rupee.
- According to the theory of relative purchasing power parity, if inflation in Nepal is predicted to be 9% over the next three years whereas the U.S. inflation rate will be 3%, what will be the exchange rate in three years?
- Based on the answer to question 4 above, the finance team wants to know whether the Nepali rupee will depreciate or appreciate. (Choose one: depreciate or appreciate) and why?
- The shareholders of Strickler Technology Inc. want to know the benefits of doing international business in Nepal. List four advantages that can convince the shareholders of the company to accept the project in Nepal.
- The shareholders also want to know some of the risks associated with doing business in Nepal. Explain three risks the company is likely to face if it goes ahead with the project in Nepal.
- Using the ratios below:
Inventory conversion period 80 days
Average collection period 55 days
Payables deferral period 52 days
Cash conversion cycle for previous year 79 days
i. Calculate the cash conversion cycle and explain what it means.
ii. Identify three actions that the firm can take to shorten its cash conversion cycle. - The cash budget shows that the company will need $2.5 million to finance its working capital needs in next three years. List five sources of financing the company can use to raise the money if it wants to use a self-liquidating approach.
- List three advantages and disadvantages of using short-term debt rather than long-term debt.

THE MOST TRUSTED PROFESSION
Nurses are the most honest and ethical professionals in America, according to Gallup (Reinhart, 2020). For the 18th year in a row, nurses are rated the highest for honesty and ethics among a list of professions. Currently, 85% of Americans say nurses’ honesty and ethical standards are “very high” or “high,” compared with 9% for car salespeople. Patients’ health, autonomy, and even life or death, are affected by nurses’ decisions and actions. The NAM (2020) vision with The Future of Nursing 2020-2030 continues to emphasize that the role of nursing in health care and the nexus between the actions of nurses and patient outcomes.
The American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics with Interpretive Statements Links to an external site. (2015) (the “Code”) is the cornerstone document of the nursing profession. It reflects the evolution of healthcare and considers the most current ethical challenges nurses face in practice. The Code upholds the best interests of patients, families, and communities.
