Assume you are organizing a wheelchair rugby event that will attract 30 teams over five days. What would be your primary requirements when soliciting bids? What would be the most important factors in choosing a location?
Hint: You should identify and prioritize what you would need to execute an event like this one.
Based on the event in the preceding question, assume that sports commissions from each of the following three cities have bid on your event. Which of the following would you choose and why?

Metropolis

Large city with 7,000 hotel rooms
66,000 square foot convention center that can hold five basketball courts
Home to numerous attractions (amusement parks, museums, etc.) and restaurants
A history of hosting sporting events for all age groups

Middlesboro

Medium-sized city with 1,200 hotel rooms
204,000 square foot convention center that can hold 12 basketball courts
Centrally located, with easy highway and airport access
A history of hosting large recreational events for different types of sports

Smallville

Small city with 600 hotel rooms
100,000 square foot convention center that can hold six basketball courts
Home to a nationally recognized adapted sports training center
A history of hosting small sporting events for physically handicapped athletes

Hint:  Each of the hypothetical cities has something different to offer (and different limitations). You should match the city with your event based on the factors that you prioritized in the prior answer.

Claire Steininger

Identify and describe practice barriers for all four APNs’ roles in your state and discuss these barriers on a state and national level. The four roles include the nurse midwife, nurse anesthetist, nurse practitioner, and clinical nurse specialist.

Nurse midwives often struggle with scope of practice limitations and the necessity for collaborative agreements, which can sometimes disrupt their ability to provide comprehensive care. Nurse anesthetists may face restrictions, such as supervision requirements and inconsistent reimbursement policies, limiting their autonomy in anesthesia care. Nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists confront barriers like collaborative agreements and scope of practice restrictions, which can affect their capacity to deliver primary and specialized care independently. These state-level obstacles are further complicated by variations in laws and regulations across the country. At the national level, lack of consistency and autonomy make it challenging for APNs to provide consistent, high-quality healthcare (Peterson, 2018).

Identify forms of competition on the state and national level that interfere with APNs’ ability to practice independently.

At the state level, one form of competition arises from established healthcare hierarchies and interests. Physicians’ groups and medical associations often lobby for laws and regulations that restrict APN autonomy to protect their traditional roles in healthcare. With a limited scope of practice, APNs are sometimes forced to adhere to physician regulations. On the national level, Medicare reimbursement rates and federal funding allocations can be influenced by powerful stakeholders, including pharmaceutical companies, insurance providers, and large healthcare systems. These sources may advocate for regulations that favor their interests instead of that of others (Galvani et al., 2020).

Identify the specific lawmakers by name at the state level (i.e., key members of the state’s legislative branch and executive branch of government)

In Florida, the governor Ron DeSantis, is the head of the executive branch. Jeanette Nunez is the lieutenant governor, Ashley Moody is the attorney general, Jimmy Patronis is the chief financial officer, and Wilton Simpson is the agricultural commissioner. On the legislative side, the senate president is Kathleen Passidomo, the house speaker is Paul Renner, the majority leader for the senate is Ben Albritton and for the house is Michael Grant. Lastly, the minority leader for the senate is Lauren Book and for the house is Fentrice Driskell (BallotPedia, 2022).

Discuss interest groups that exist at the state and national levels that influence APN policy.

At the state level, physician groups often advocate for policies that maintain their traditional roles and may oppose measures that grant APNs greater autonomy. Oppositely, nursing associations like the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) and American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA) work to advance APN practice, pushing for full scope of practice and reimbursement policy changes to enhance access to care. On the national level, there are also national nursing organizations like the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) and the National Council of Nurse Practitioners (NCNP) that actively advocate for APN policy changes that can promote independent practice (Brom et al., 2018).

Discuss methods used to influence change in policy in forms of competition, state legislative and executive branches of government, and interest groups.

Some methods used to influence change in policy include political campaigns and quality and safety initiatives. Supporting candidates who are sympathetic to APN issues and policy changes through campaign contributions and grassroots mobilization can influence election outcomes, ultimately affecting the composition of legislative and executive branches. APNs can also participate in quality and safety initiatives to demonstrate a commitment to high-quality care and patient well-being can enhance their credibility and influence (Cullerton et al., 2018).

J. P. Morgan
John D. Rockefeller
Cornelius Vanderbilt
J. P. Morgan
One of the most powerful bankers of his era, J.P. (John Pierpont) Morgan (1837-1913) financed railroads and helped organize U.S. Steel, General Electric and other major corporations. The Connecticut native followed his wealthy father into the banking business in the late 1850s, and in 1871 formed a partnership with Philadelphia banker Anthony Drexel. In 1895, their firm was reorganized as J.P. Morgan & Company, a predecessor of the modern-day financial giant JPMorgan Chase.
Morgan used his influence to help stabilize American financial markets during several economic crises, including the panic of 1907. However, he faced criticism that he had too much power and was accused of manipulating the nation’s financial system for his own gain. The Gilded Age titan spent a significant portion of his wealth amassing a vast art collection.
During the late 19th century, a period when the U.S. railroad industry experienced rapid overexpansion and heated competition (the nation’s first transcontinental rail line was completed in 1869), Morgan was heavily involved in reorganizing and consolidating several financially troubled railroads. In the process, he gained control of significant portions of these railroads’ stock and eventually controlled an estimated one-sixth of America’s rail lines.
The great ship Titanic, owned by one of the IMM companies, White Star, sank on its maiden voyage after hitting an iceberg. Morgan, who attended the ship’s christening in 1911, was booked on the ill-fated April 1912 voyage but had to cancel.
During Morgan’s era, the United States had no central bank, so he used his influence to help save the nation from disaster during several economic crises. In 1895, Morgan assisted in rescuing America’s gold standard when he headed a banking syndicate that loaned the federal government more than $60 million. In another instance, the financial panic of 1907, Morgan held a meeting of the country’s top financiers at his New York City home and convinced them to bail out various faltering financial institutions to stabilize the markets.
Morgan initially was widely commended for leading Wall Street out of the 1907 financial crisis; however, in the ensuing years the portly banker with the handlebar mustache and gruff manner faced increasing criticism from muckraking journalists, progressive politicians and others that he had too much power and could manipulate the financial system for his own gain.
In 1912, Morgan was called to testify before a congressional committee chaired by U.S. Representative Arsene Pujo (1861-1939) of Louisiana that was investigating the existence of a “money trust,” a small cabal of elite Wall Street financiers, including Morgan, who allegedly colluded to control American banking and industry. The Pujo Committee hearings helped bring about the creation of the Federal Reserve System in December 1913 and spurred passage of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914.
The famous financier died at age 75 on March 31, 1913, in Rome, Italy.

John D. Rockefeller
John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937), founder of the Standard Oil Company, became one of the world’s wealthiest men and a major philanthropist. Born into modest circumstances in upstate New York, he entered the then-fledgling oil business in 1863 by investing in a Cleveland, Ohio, refinery. In 1870, he established Standard Oil, which by the early 1880s controlled some 90 percent of U.S. refineries and pipelines. Critics accused Rockefeller of engaging in unethical practices, such as predatory pricing and colluding with railroads to eliminate his competitors, to gain a monopoly in the industry. In 1911, the U.S. Supreme Court found Standard Oil in violation of anti-trust laws and ordered it to dissolve. During his life Rockefeller donated more than $500 million to various philanthropic causes.
John Davison Rockefeller, the son of a traveling salesman, was born on July 8, 1839, in Richford, New York. Industrious even as a boy, the future oil magnate earned money by raising turkeys, selling candy and doing jobs for neighbors. In 1853, the Rockefeller family moved to the Cleveland, Ohio, area, where John attended high school then briefly studied bookkeeping at a commercial college.
In 1855, at age 16, he found work as an office clerk at a Cleveland commission firm that bought, sold and shipped grain, coal and other commodities. (He considered September 26, the day he started the position and entered the business world, so significant that as an adult he commemorated this “job day” with an annual celebration.) In 1859, Rockefeller and a partner established their own commission firm. That same year, America’s first oil well was drilled in Titusville, Pennsylvania. In 1863, Rockefeller and several partners entered the booming new oil industry by investing in a Cleveland refinery.
In 1865, Rockefeller borrowed money to buy out some of his partners and take control of the refinery, which had become the largest in Cleveland. Over the next few years, he acquired new partners and expanded his business interests in the growing oil industry. At the time, kerosene, derived from petroleum and used in lamps, was becoming an economic staple. In 1870, Rockefeller formed the Standard Oil Company of Ohio, along with his younger brother William (1841-1922), Henry Flagler (1830-1913) and a group of other men. John Rockefeller was its president and largest shareholder.
Standard Oil gained a monopoly in the oil industry by buying rival refineries and developing companies for distributing and marketing its products around the globe. In 1882, these various companies were combined into the Standard Oil Trust, which would control some 90 percent of the nation’s refineries and pipelines. In order to exploit economies of scale, Standard Oil did everything from build its own oil barrels to employ scientists to figure out new uses for petroleum by-products.
Rockefeller’s enormous wealth and success made him a target of muckraking journalists, reform politicians and others who viewed him as a symbol of corporate greed and criticized the methods with which he’d built his empire. As The New York Times reported in 1937: “He was accused of crushing out competition, getting rich on rebates from railroads, bribing men to spy on competing companies, of making secret agreements, of coercing rivals to join the Standard Oil Company under threat of being forced out of business, building up enormous fortunes on the ruins of other men, and so on”.
In 1890, the U.S. Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act, the first federal legislation prohibiting trusts and combinations that restrained trade. Two years later, the Ohio Supreme Court dissolved the Standard Oil Trust; however, the businesses within the trust soon became part of Standard Oil of New Jersey, which functioned as a holding company. In 1911, after years of litigation, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Standard Oil of New Jersey was in violation of anti-trust laws and forced it to dismantle (it was broken up into more than 30 individual companies).
Rockefeller retired from day-to-day business operations of Standard Oil in the mid-1890s. Inspired in part by fellow Gilded Age tycoon Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919), who made a vast fortune in the steel industry then became a philanthropist and gave away the bulk of his money, Rockefeller donated more than half a billion dollars to various educational, religious and scientific causes. Among his activities, he funded the establishment of the University of Chicago and the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (now Rockefeller University).
Rockefeller died at 97 on May 23rd, 1937, at The Casements, his winter home in Ormond Beach Florida. He’s buried at Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. His goal was to reach the age of 100.

Cornelius Vanderbilt
Shipping and railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877) was a self-made multi-millionaire who became one of the wealthiest Americans of the 19th century. As a boy, he worked with his father, who operated a boat that ferried cargo between Staten Island, New York, where they lived, and Manhattan. After working as a steamship captain, Vanderbilt went into business for himself in the late 1820s, and eventually became one of the country’s largest steamship operators. In the process, the Commodore, as he was publicly nicknamed, gained a reputation for being fiercely competitive and ruthless. In the 1860s, he shifted his focus to the railroad industry, where he built another empire and helped make railroad transportation more efficient. When Vanderbilt died, he was worth more than $100 million.
A descendant of Dutch settlers who came to America in the mid-1600s, Cornelius Vanderbilt was born into humble circumstances on May 27, 1794, on Staten Island, New York. His parents were farmers and his father also made money by ferrying produce and merchandise between Staten Island and Manhattan in his two-masted sailing vessel, known as a periauger. As a boy, the younger Vanderbilt worked with his father on the water and attended school briefly. When Vanderbilt was a teen he transported cargo around the New York harbor in his own periauger. Eventually, he acquired a fleet of small boats and learned about ship design.
In 1817, Vanderbilt went to work as a ferry captain for a wealthy businessman who owned a commercial steamboat service that operated between New Jersey and New York. The job provided Vanderbilt the opportunity to learn about the burgeoning steamship industry. In the late 1820s, he went into business on his own, building steamships and operating ferry lines around the New York region. Shrewd and aggressive, he became a dominant force in the industry by engaging in fierce fare wars with his rivals. In some cases, his competitors paid him hefty sums not to compete with them. (Throughout his life, Vanderbilt’s ruthless approach to business would earn him numerous enemies.)
In the 1840s, Vanderbilt constructed a large brick home for his family at 10 Washington Place, in Manhattan’s present-day Greenwich Village neighborhood. Despite his growing wealth, the city’s elite residents were slow to accept Vanderbilt, considering him rough and uncultured.
In the early 1850s, during the California Gold Rush, a time before transcontinental railroads, Vanderbilt launched a steamship service that transported prospectors from New York to San Francisco via a route across Nicaragua. His route was faster than an established route across Panama, and much speedier than the other alternative, around Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America, which could take months. Vanderbilt’s new line was an instant success, earning more than $1 million (about $26 million in today’s money) a year.
In the 1860s, Vanderbilt shifted his focus from shipping to the railroad industry, which was entering a period of great expansion. He gained control of several railway lines operating between Chicago and New York and established an interregional railroad system. According to T.J. Styles, author of “The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt”: “This was a major transformation of the railroad network, which previously had been fragmented into numerous short railroads, each with its own procedures, timetables, and rolling stock. The creation of a coherent system spanning several states lowered costs, increased efficiency, and sped up travel and shipment times.”
Vanderbilt was the driving force behind the construction of Manhattan’s Grand Central Depot, which opened in 1871. The station eventually was torn down and replaced by present-day Grand Central Terminal, which opened in 1913.
Unlike the Gilded Age titans who followed him, such as steel magnate Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919) and oil mogul John Rockefeller (1839-1937), Vanderbilt did not own grand homes or give away much of his vast wealth to charitable causes. In fact, the only substantial philanthropic donation he made was in 1873, toward the end of his life, when he gave $1 million to build and endow Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. (In a nod to its founder’s nickname, the school’s athletic teams are called the Commodores.)
The Vanderbilt mansions associated with the Gilded Age, including the Breakers in Newport, Rhode Island, and the Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina, were built by Cornelius Vanderbilt’s descendants. (The 250-room Biltmore estate, constructed in the late 19th century by one of Vanderbilt’s grandsons, is the largest privately-owned home in the United States today.)
Vanderbilt died at age 82 on January 4, 1877, at his Manhattan home, and was buried in the Moravian Cemetery in New Dorp, Staten Island. He left the bulk of his fortune, estimated at more than $100 million, to his son William (1821-85).

On October 26, a Diamond Country Life Insurance agent went to the house of Dedee and Bob Hooper. He persuaded the Hoopers to buy a life insurance policy and accepted a check for $1,600. On his way out the door, he gave the Hoopers a “conditional receipt for medical policy,” dated that day. The form stated that the Hoopers would have a valid life insurance policy with Diamond Country Life, effective October 26, but only when all conditions were met. The most important of these conditions was that the Diamond Country Life home office accept the Hoopers as medical risks after the company scheduled a medical examination.

The Case of the Customer Who Died to Soon
Facts:
On October 26, a Diamond Country Life Insurance agent went to the house of Dedee and Bob Hooper. He persuaded the Hoopers to buy a life insurance policy and accepted a check for $1,600. On his way out the door, he gave the Hoopers a “conditional receipt for medical policy,” dated that day. The form stated that the Hoopers would have a valid life insurance policy with Diamond Country Life, effective October 26, but only when all conditions were met. The most important of these conditions was that the Diamond Country Life home office accept the Hoopers as medical risks after the company scheduled a medical examination. The Hoopers were pleased with the new policy and glad that it was effective that same day.Does the clause making the policy effective only after a medical examination violate public policy? Explain
What other basis for a lawsuit might Dedee have against the insurance company? Explain
Bob died in a car accident three weeks later. Diamond Country Life declined the Hoopers as medical risks and refused to issue a policy. Dedee Hooper sued. Diamond Country Life pointed out that medical approval was a condition to being covered. In other words, the company argued that the policy would be effective as of October 26, but only if it later decided to make the policy effective. It had not made that decision as of the date of Bob’s death.
At Trial
Plaintiff argued that the policy was a scam. The so called “conditional receipt for medical policy” is designed to trick customers and then steal their money. The company leads people to believe they are covered as of the day they write the check. But they aren’t covered until much later, when the insurer gets around to deciding the applicant’s medical status.
The company gets the customer’s money right away and gives nothing in exchange. If the company, after taking its time, decides the applicant is not medically fit, it returns the money, having used it for weeks or even months to earn interest. If, on the other hand, the insurance company decides the applicant is a good bet, it then issues the policy effective for weeks or months in the past, when coverage is of no use. No one can die retroactively. The company is being paid for a period during which it had no risk.
Defendant, Diamond Country Life, argued that it would be impracticable for Diamond Country Life to issue life insurance policies without doing a medical check. That is the road to bankruptcy and would mean that no one could obtain this valuable coverage. They further argued that they do a medical inquiry as quickly as possible as it is in their interest to get the policy decided one way or the other.
The policy clearly stated that coverage was effective only when approved by the home office, after all inquiries were made. The Hoopers knew that as well as the agent. If they were covered immediately, why would the company do a medical check?
