Choose the order quantity that results in the lowest total annual cost.
XYZ company sells pumps. The demand for pumps is constant, and equal to 1000 + 837 = 1837 per year. Each pump costs $40, and the inventory carrying charge is 25% per year. Cost of placing an order is $45 per order. How many pumps should be ordered at a time? What is the total annual cost? Suppose that your boss is allergic to mathematical equations, and you would like to determine the best order quantity using an excel spreadsheet. (hint: set up a table in which you determine total annual cost for various order quantities – starting at 10 and in increments of 10 – 10, 20 30, 40…. For each order quantity, determine the annual cost of purchase, annual cost of orders, annual inventory cost and the annual total cost. Choose the order quantity that results in the lowest total annual cost.)

Have there been large rallies and or protests related to the social justice issue?
The terms social justice, social movements, and social change are aligned in many ways. Social justice issues cause imbalances in equality, privilege, and opportunity. Social movements often arise in response to social justice issues and can galvanize people to engage in social change efforts, both informally through activism and formally through the enactment of laws and policies. Last week, you examined the influence of a historical social justice issue on the way that a contemporary social justice issue is perceived and addressed. For this Discussion, you will take a closer look at how a contemporary social justice issue is addressed, both informally through activist movements and formally through policies and laws. You will also consider the power differentials related to this issue and what you can do to make a difference in how it is addressed. To Prepare Review the Learning Resources on social justice issues. Select one to focus on for this Discussion. You may choose the issue that you focused on last week or a different one. Use the Learning Resources and any additional resources that you found from your own research to determine how the issue has been addressed thus far (e.g., rallies, protests, policies, and laws), how the public perceives the issue, how power differentials affect the issue, and how to promote social change to address the issue. Post a brief description of a contemporary social justice issue in which you are interested. This can be the same issue that you discussed last week or a different one. With this issue in mind, respond to the following questions: Have there been large rallies and or protests related to the social justice issue? If so, have the rallies or protests made a difference in addressing or furthering the issue? Why or why not? How have policy, laws, and public views about the issue changed over time? Who holds the power on the issue and who lacks the power? What are the implications? If you could promote social change in relation to the issue, what would the outcome look like?
Analyze public health settings in relation to prevention of disease transmission
Epidemiology, the Basis for Public Health The study of epidemiology includes the examination of infectious disease, mental health and health-related events such as accidents or violence, and occupational and environmental exposure and their effects, as well as the examination of positive health states (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016). Additionally, the study of epidemiology includes research into the morbidity and mortality of chronic illnesses that are found in the United States and across the globe. Infectious diseases like polio, TB, measles, and malaria have been almost eliminated in the United States; however, these diseases continue in other parts of the world for a variety of reasons. Highly contagious infectious diseases can and do lead to death despite the fact that many are preventable. The United States has used childhood vaccinations to prevent and eradicate illnesses such as smallpox and polio. In order to reduce the incidence of malaria in the United States, DDT—a known carcinogen in humans that is also toxic to birds—and other pesticides were used in the past and have since been replaced with nontoxic insecticides and larvicides to reduce the numbers of mosquitoes. Unfortunately, developing countries often do not have the resources to engage in the same sorts of prevention programs and may have to resort to unsafe or toxic means to control vectors. They may not have the financial resources or health care personnel available to engage in mass vaccination campaigns. In addition, countries that experience frequent wars, acts of terrorism, and political instability face additional challenges to the provision of health care to their populations, especially when faced with an outbreak of an infectious disease. This week, you will focus on the epidemiology of infectious and communicable disease and how nursing practices change in response to threats and outbreaks. Learning Objectives Students will: Analyze public health settings in relation to prevention of disease transmission Analyze public health nurse’s role in outbreak investigations Apply the epidemiological triangle for an infectious or communicable disease outbreak Analyze leadership roles of nurses in bringing an outbreak under control Evaluate nursing strategies for health promotion in mitigating outbreaks Photo Credit: IAN HOOTON/Science Photo Library/Getty Images Learning Resources Required Readings Holtz, C.

Discussion: Preventing Disease in Communities: The Role of Public Health, the Silent Sentinel Our “world” starts with our own community, county, and state, then moves out in concentric rings from that point to include our country and eventually the world. Disease is transmitted from person to person through direct contact, or from a source such as a vector or contaminated water through a variety of means, such as flood waters or even terrorist actions. Individuals with limited or no knowledge of safe sex methods may have unprotected sexual relations and knowingly or unknowingly transmit disease to their partners, then to their partners’ partners, and on and on. Often it is the role of the public health nurse to investigate a disease outbreak, contain it, and then educate others so that the same situation doesn’t happen again. In this Discussion, you will visit a site and interview people who work there about risks for disease transmission, then report on your findings. To prepare, select which site you will visit from the following options: High school nurse’s office Water treatment plant Public health department Pediatrician’s office Create a brief description of your setting, providing some context; for example, how many patients are seen, size or capacity of the facility as applicable, and/or the location of the office or organization. While you are at the site, check to see if you are allowed to take pictures. If so, include your photos in your Discussion post to give your colleagues a better understanding of the environment you are describing. Then, during your site visit, pose the questions listed in the following chart: Now, look at the site you visited through the eyes of the public health nurse (PHN). Imagine you are the PHN and have been asked to investigate an outbreak at this facility. What questions would you ask? What suggestions could you make to avoid a disease outbreak at the facility? What would your role as a change agent be for any deficiencies you find in your on-site inspection? By Day 3 Post your brief description and pictures of the site you visited. Share the answers you were given to the questions you posed. Then, respond to the above prompts through the eyes of a PHN asked to investigate an outbreak at this facility. Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature. Note Initial Post: A 3-paragraph (at least 250–350 words) response. Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations. Utilize essay-level writing practice and skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames. Avoid quotes; paraphrase to incorporate evidence into your own writing. A reference list is required. Use the most current evidence (usually ≤ 5 years old). Read two or more of your colleagues’ postings from the Discussion question (support with evidence if indicated).
Identify two (2) cognitive skills used in critical thinking the RN should have applied in this scenario
Review the article Critical thinking at the bedside: Providing safe passage to patients (Robert & Petersen, 2013). Scenario: Adam is a 10-year-old scheduled for discharge from the Emergency Department after a bicycle incident resulted in a fractured right ulna and radius. His arm has been casted, is immobilized and in a sling. Adam states, “My arm feels better now, and I am sleepy. The pain medicine makes me feel like I will vomit.” The RN is reviewing medications with Adam and his mother when the mother states, “We have a two (2) hour drive home from this emergency room. Can you give Adam something for nausea so he does not throw up in the car?” The RN has already completed the discharge paperwork, and the orthopedic physician who casted the arm has left the Emergency Department. The RN states, “No orders are available for Adam to have nausea medicine. I can give him another dose of pain medicine if you think that will help him sleep on the way home. Then he might not vomit.”
