Review the RTI and MTSS processes and how they support students with and without disabilities who are struggling academically.

It is vital that special education teachers understand the process for identifying individuals with disabilities and involve general education teachers, special education teachers, administration, parents, and other experts. The most valuable part of this process is collecting and analyzing data through the Response to Intervention (RTI) or Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) processes. Teachers will need to understand these processes, know how to follow the processes, and be able to articulate the processes to other stakeholders.

For this assignment, take on the role of a special education teacher at a K-5 elementary school. Your principal has asked you to prepare a presentation to inform new general education teachers about the basics of special education identification and referral, evaluation, and eligibility for individuals with disabilities.

Create a 10-15 slide digital presentation on the topic of special education referral, evaluation, and placement procedures.

Within your presentation:

• Review the RTI and MTSS processes and how they support students with and without disabilities who are struggling academically.
• Describe laws, policies, and procedures regarding referrals, assessments, and placements for students who have, or are suspected as having, a disability. Include which individuals may make such a referral, and distinguish special education identification from a special education referral .
• Identify rights and responsibilities of students being evaluated for special education services, their parents, teachers, schools, and other professionals within the evaluation process .
• Include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.

Your digital presentation should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.

Support your presentation with a minimum of three scholarly resources, referencing all applicable laws and policies.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.

Week 5 Lecture: Financial Statements

The Four Basic Financial Statements

Recall from last week’s lecture that the process of accounting for transactions begins with the accounting cycle. An accounting cycle refers to the steps necessary to prepare financial statements. The term cycle is used because the steps are repeated each reporting period.

Remember — there are ten steps in the accounting cycle. Last week we studied steps 6-9. This week, we will focus more in detail on step 7 – Prepare statements — Use adjusted trial balance to prepare financial statements. We will also review steps 6, 8 and 9 to facilitate our understanding of step 7.

  (Wild, Shaw, & Chiappetta, 2017).

Recall from the week 1 lecture — there are four financial statements that organizations prepare as part of their reporting process:

1.  Income statement — describes a company’s revenues and expenses along with the resulting net income or net loss — over a period-of-time due to earnings activities. Net income is sometimes called earnings or profit.
2.  Statement of owner’s equity — explains changes in equity from net income (or net loss) and from any owner investments and withdrawals over a period-of-time. The statement of owner’s equity is also called the statement of changes in owner’s equity.
3.  Balance sheet — describes a company’s financial position – by the types and amounts of assets, liabilities, and equity — at a point in time.
4.  Statement of cash flows — identifies cash inflows (receipts) and cash outflows (payments) over a period-of-time. The Statement of Cash Flows is covered later in this lecture.

Linking Expanded Accounting Equation & Financial Statements

Remember the expanded accounting equation? We can show the relationship between the expanded accounting equation and the financial statements. The graphic below demonstrates that financial statements reflect different parts of the expanded accounting equation:

     Expanded Accounting Equation — Relationship with Financial Statements

                    (Wild, Shaw, & Chiappetta, 2017).

For our understanding, the graphic above presents a visual representation of the relationship and components of the expanded accounting equation that we will use to prepare each financial statement.

Linking Adjustments to Financial Statements

Recall from the week 3 lecture that, during the accounting cycle for step 5 – adjust, we record adjustments to bring account balances up to date. An adjusting entry is made at the end of an accounting period to reflect a transaction or event that is not recorded yet. Each adjusting entry affects one or more income statement accounts and one or more balance sheet accounts – but never the cash account.

The graphic below summarizes the four types of transactions that must be adjusted and their link to financial statements. Each adjusting entry affects one or more income statement (revenue or expense) accounts and one or more balance sheet (asset or liability) accounts (but not cash).

 (Wild, Shaw, & Chiappetta, 2017).

Calculating Financial Statement Balances  

Using account balances, we can calculate the total balance for each financial statement as follows:

Income Statement:

               Total revenues

       =     Net income (or loss)

Statement of Owner’s Equity:

Beginning Capital

+ Owner Investments

+ Net Income

− Withdrawals      

= Ending Capital   

Balance Sheet:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity

Review: Accounting Cycle Step 6 – Prepare Adjusted Trial Balance 

Recall for step 6 — Prepare adjusted trial balance, we summarize adjusted ledger accounts and amounts. The most efficient method for preparing the adjusted trial balance is to use a worksheet.

Preparing the worksheet allows companies to prepare a draft of the financial statements.

• Worksheet Reminders:  

• A worksheet is not a required report or an accounting record, but its format is flexible and can be modified by companies to fit their business preferences and needs for an accounting period.

• When a worksheet is used to prepare financial statements, it is typically created at the end of an accounting period — before the adjusting process.

• A worksheet organizes information used to prepare adjusting entries, financial statements, and closing entries.

• The complete worksheet includes a list of all accounts, account balances and their adjustments, and accounts are grouped and arranged into financial statement columns.

• The worksheet includes two columns each for the following:
  • Unadjusted trial balance
  • Adjustments
  • Adjusted trial balance
  • Income statement
  • Balance sheet — including the statement of owner’s equity

Review: Worksheet Example – Draft Financial Statements

 

Using information for FastForward, we can explain and interpret the worksheet. Each step, 1 through 5, is color-coded and explained in the worksheet. This is an example of a manual worksheet created in Excel:

 (Wild, Shaw, & Chiappetta, 2017). 

The following video explains how to create the 10-column worksheet: Worksheet (Click to view)

• The green columns labeled Unadjusted Trial Balance in the 10-column worksheet above contain the balances for all accounts before adjustments are made.

This video explains the unadjusted trial balance: Unadjusted Trial Balance (Click link to view video)

• In the worksheet above, notice the yellow columns labeled as (2) Adjustments. The debit and credit amounts in these two columns are the amounts from the adjusting journal entries. For example, the debit and credit adjustment amounts labeled (b) 1,050 are for supplies expense and supplies, respectively.
  • All debit and credit adjustments are labeled (a) – (f) in the yellow columns.

The following video explains adjustments:Adjustments (Click link to view video)

• The blue columns labeled (3) Adjusted Trial Balancein the worksheetcontain the adjusted balances for all accounts after adjustments were made and posted.

This video explains the Adjusted Trial Balance: Adjusted Trial Balance (Click link to view video)

• The orange columns labeled (4) Income Statement (IS), Balance Sheet (BS) & Statement of Owner’s Equity (OE) in the worksheet were created using the account balances from the columns labeled        (3) Adjusted Trial Balance.

• The purple rows labeled (5) are net income/loss and totals for the IS, BS, and Statement of OE

 

Review: Accounting Cycle Step 7 – Prepare Statements 

Recall from the previous lecture –for step 7 – Prepare statements, we use the adjusted trial balance to prepare the financial statements. When using the adjusted trial balance in the worksheet to prepare financial statements, those statements within the worksheet are only draft formats (see the worksheet above). Official financial statements for reporting to external users must be presented separately.

The videos below demonstrate how to prepare the draft financial statements within the 10-column worksheet (the income statement, balance sheet, and statement of owner’s equity):

Example 1 – Draft Financial Statements (Click to view video)

Example 2 – Draft Financial Statements – A comprehensive example (Click to view video)

Statement of Owner’s Equity (Click to view video)

The 3 financial statements below were prepared using FastForward’s 10-column worksheet presented earlier:

 (Wild, Shaw, & Chiappetta, 2017)

We can also prepare the income statement, balance sheet, and statement of owner’s equity without using the    10-column worksheet, by following the four steps below:

Step 1— Prepare the income statement using revenue and expense accounts from the trial balance.

Step 2—Prepare the statement of owner’s equity using capital and withdrawals accounts from the trial

               balance — and pull net income from step 1.

Step 3—Prepare balance sheet using asset and liability accounts from the trial balance — and pull the

               updated capital balance.

Step 4—Prepare statement of cash flows from changes in cash flows for the period (see the next lecture).

The Classified Balance Sheet 

A classified balance sheet organizes assets and liabilities into important subgroups that provide more information to decision makers. A classified balance sheet is the most popular format used by companies.

On the asset (left) side of the balance sheet, we group assets as current or noncurrent. A current asset is one that is expected to be converted into cash in one year or the company’s normal operating cycle, whichever is longer (Wild, Shaw, & Chiappetta, 2017).

The operating cycle of a company is the time it takes to acquire inventory, sell the inventory, and collect cash. For many companies, the operating cycle is less than one year. These companies would classify an asset as current if that asset is expected to be converted into cash within one year (Wild, Shaw, & Chiappetta, 2017).

On the liabilities plus equity (right) side of the balance sheet, we divide liabilities between current and noncurrent. A current liability is one we expect to be paid out of the company’s current assets within the longer of one year or the normal operating cycle (Wild, Shaw, & Chiappetta, 2017).

Classified Balance Sheet Format

         Assets                                        =                                          Liabilities + Equity

(Wild, Shaw, & Chiappetta, 2017)

Notice that the classified balance sheet is presented in the accounting equation format:

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

The graphics below present examples of FastForward’s report form balance sheet and classified balance sheet formats.

Prepare the Statement of Cash Flows  

The purpose of the statement of cash flows is to report cash receipts (inflows) and cash payments (outflows) during a period. This includes separately identifying the cash flows related to operating, investing, and financing activities. It is the detailed disclosure of individual sources and uses of cash that makes this statement useful. The statement of cash flows helps users answer questions such as:

• Where does a company spend its cash?
• Why do income and cash flows differ?
• Is there a cash shortage?

The following video explains the purpose of Statement of Cash Flows  (Click to view video)

Information about cash flows influences decisions. Information about cash flows helps users decide whether a company has enough cash to pay its debts. It also helps evaluate a company’s ability to pay unexpected obligations and pursue unexpected opportunities. Managers use cash flow information to plan day-to-day operations and make long-term investment decisions.

Cash receipts and cash payments are classified on the statement of cash flows in one of the following three categories:

1. Operating activities — Transactions and events that determine net income. Examples include production and purchase of inventory, sale of goods and services to customers, or expenditures to operate the business.
2. Investing activities — Transactions and events that affect long-term assets. Examples are the purchase and sale of long-term assets.
3. Financing activities — Transactions and events that affect long-term liabilities and equity. Examples include obtaining cash from issuing debt or repaying amounts borrowed, or receiving cash from or distributing cash to owners. These activities involve transactions with a company’s owners and creditors.

(Wild, Shaw, & Chiappetta, 2017)

Review: Accounting Cycle Step 8 – Close

Reminder: After all financial statements are prepared, we complete step 8 – Close, to journalize and post entries to close temporary accounts, which transfers the end-of-period balances in revenue, expense, and withdrawals accounts to the permanent capital account. The closing process is a critical step at the end of an accounting period. Closing entries are necessary at the end of each period after financial statements are prepared for the following reasons:

1. Revenue, expense, and withdrawals accounts must begin each period with zero balances
2. Owner’s capital must reflect prior periods’ revenues, expenses, and withdrawals.

To close revenue and expense accounts, we transfer their balances to a temporary account called Income Summary. This account is temporary because it is only used to complete the closing process. Once all revenues and expenses are closed, Income Summary is also closed, but to the capital account.

We can use either the adjusted trial balance or the financial statements (Income statement and balance sheet) to make the closing entries.

For more details on preparing the post-closing trial balance, review the week 4 lecture.

This video presents a comprehensive example for The Closing Process (Click to view video)

This video explains the purpose of Income Summary (Click to view video)

Review: Accounting Cycle Step 9 – Prepare Post-Closing Trial Balance

Reminder: After all closing entries are completed, the last step of the accounting cycle (and closing process) is to prepare a post-closing trial balance. This step should be completed after all four closing entries have been journalized and posted.

The purpose of the post-closing trial balance is to verify that:

1. All temporary accounts were closed (income statement accounts and income summary account).
2. Total debits equal total credits for permanent accounts (balance sheet accounts)

There are four steps we must always follow for the closing process. To prevent confusion for the closing process, when you first try to make closing entries, it is an excellent idea to follow these four steps exactly:

Step 1: Close Credit Balances in Revenue Accounts to Income Summary

Step 2: Close Debit Balances in Expense Accounts to Income Summary

Step 3: Close Income Summary to Owner’s Capital

Step 4: Close Withdrawals Account to Owner’s Capital

Ratios – Building Blocks of Analysis

Financial statement analysis focuses on one or more elements of a company’s financial condition or performance. Ratio analysis provides clues to and symptoms of underlying conditions of a business. When properly interpreted, ratios can identify areas requiring further investigation. A ratio expresses a relationship between two quantities such as a percent, rate, or proportion. Ratios can be organized into the building blocks of analysis: (1) liquidity and efficiency, (2) solvency, (3) profitability, and (4) market prospects (Wild, Shaw, & Chiappetta, 2017).

For purposes of this lecture, the following is a brief overview of the first 3 ratios. There are many ratios for each building block, but for this lecture, we will focus on current ratio, debt ratio, profit margin, and return on assets (ROA).

The 4 building blocks of analysis are discussed in more detail in an advanced accounting course.

Liquidity and Efficiency Ratio – Current Ratio   

Liquidity and efficiency ratios indicate a company’s ability to meet its short-term obligations and to efficiently generate revenues.

Current ratio.Defined as current assets divided by current liabilities. When compared to a company’s prior year current ratios and the industry’s current ratios, a high current ratio suggests a strong liquidity position and a company’s ability to meet current obligations. An excessively high current ratio means that the company has invested too much in current assets compared to its current obligations. An excessive investment in current assets is not an efficient use of funds because current assets normally generate a low return on investment (compared with long-term assets) (Wild, Shaw, & Chiappetta, 2017).

Solvency Ratio – Debt Ratio      

A company’s solvency is its ability to generate future revenues and meet long-term obligations.

Debt ratio. Calculated as total liabilities to total assets. This calculation expresses total liabilities as a percentage of total assets. The debt ratio reflects risk associated with a company’s debts and is used to analyze a company’s financial condition. Note: This ratio is usually used with the equity ratio and debt-to-equity ratio to assess a company’s solvency – since debt can have the effect of increasing or decreasing the return (dividends, etc.) to stockholders (Wild, Shaw, & Chiappetta, 2017).

Profitability Ratios – Profit Margin & Return on Assets    

Profitability ratios indicate a company’s ability to provide positive financial returns to attract and maintain financing. A company’s operating efficiency and profitability can be expressed by two ratios (1) profit margin, and (2) return on assets.

Profit Margin. This ratio is a useful measure of a company’s operating results calculated as net income to net sales. It is measured by expressing net income as a percentage of sales (reflects the percentage of profits in each dollar of sales). Profit margin indicates a company’s ability to earn net income from sales – compared to competitors in the industry. Note: Sales and revenues are similar terms used interchangeably – for example, sales, sales revenue, or revenue (Wild, Shaw, & Chiappetta, 2017). 

Return on assets (ROA). This ratio is used to calculate a company’s net income to average total assets. ROA is useful in evaluating management, analyzing and forecasting profits, and planning activities (Wild, Shaw, & Chiappetta, 2017). Note: This ratio is sometimes referred to as return on total assets.

Week 6 Assignment:  EBP Change Process form

ACE Star Model of Knowledge Transformation

Follow Nurse Daniel as your process mentor in the weekly Illustration section of the lesson. Please do not use any of the Nurse Daniel information for your own topic, nursing intervention, or change project.  Nurse Daniel serves as an example only to illustrate the change process.

Name: _____________________

Star Point 1:  Discovery (Identify topic and practice issue)

Identify the topic and the nursing practice issue related to this topic. (This MUST involve a nursing practice issue.)

Briefly describe your rationale for your topic selection. Include the scope of the issue/problem.

In my short, albeit busy nursing career, I have encountered respiratory complications time and time again. There has been an increased number of ventilated or newly trached patients, and there are very few senior elderly outpatient ratings. My patients are all middle-aged and elderly people. Some incapacitated patients report frequent falls, which suggests that their situation may be more complicated. The patients are between 35 and 80 years old. While intubated, patients are not receiving thorough exercising, thus causing loss of strength and function.  Once weaned off the vent, patients exhibit profound weakness, thus increasing the risk of falls. Patients with falls have difficulty in daily activities that may lead to increased hospital stays. Initiation of a nurse driven routine involving performing range of motion, ordering the patient protein rich dietary supplements, and early mobility protocols can make it easier for patients to strengthen up, thus reducing falls. Installing patient alarms and training will reduce the incidence of falls and ensure that patients receive physical therapy and adequate nutrition to strengthen their muscles, or maintain muscle strength and tone, therefore improving their walking and standing strength and decreasing inpatient falls.

Star Point 2:  Summary (Evidence to support need for a change)

Describe the practice problem in your own words and formulate your PICOT question.

In trach/vented patients within the age bracket of 35 and 80 years (P), would regular exercise in line with proper diet (I), compared to no suitable exercise and no diet program (C), minimize the patient falls (O) within 8 months (T)?

In trach/vented patients within the age bracket of 35 and 80 years (P), would regular exercise in line with proper diet (I), compared to no suitable exercise and no diet program (C), minimize the patient falls (O) within 8 months (T)?

P– (patient population/patients of interest): Trach/vented patients within age bracket of 35 and 80 years                                 I– (Intervention): Regular exercise coupled with proper diet   C– (Comparison):  no suitable exercise and no diet exercise program   O– (Measurable outcome): minimize the patient falls   T– (Time frame in months): Within 8 months

List the systematic review chosen from the CCN Library databases. Type the complete APA reference for the systematic review selected.

List and briefly describe other sources used for data and information. List any other optional scholarly source used as a supplement to the systematic review in APA format.

Briefly summarize the main findings (in your own words) from the systematic review and the strength of the evidence.

Outline one or two evidence-based solutions you will consider for the trial project.

Star Point 3:  Translation (Action Plan)

Identify care standards, practice guidelines, or protocols that may be in place to support your intervention planning (These may come from your organization or from the other sources listed in your Summary section in Star Point 2).

List your stakeholders (by title and not names; include yourself) and describe their roles and responsibilities in the change process (no more than 5).

What specifically is your nursing role in the change process? Other nursing roles?

List your stakeholders by position titles (charge nurse, pharmacist, etc.). Why are the members chosen (stakeholders) important to your project?

What type of cost analysis will be needed prior to a trial?  Who needs to be involved with this?

Star Point 4: (Implementation)

Describe the process for gaining permission to plan and begin a trial.  Is there a specific group, committee, or nurse leader involved?

Describe the plan for educating the staff about the change process trial and how they will be impacted or asked to participate.

Outline the implementation timeline for the change process (start time/end time, what steps are to occur along the timeline).

List the measurable outcomes based on the PICOT.  How will these be measured?

What forms, if any, might be used for recording purposes during the pilot change process. Describe.

What resources are available to staff (include yourself) during the change pilot?

Will there be meetings of certain stakeholders throughout the trial?  If so, who and when will they meet?

Star Point 5: (Evaluation)

How will you report the outcomes of the trial?

What would be the next steps for the use of the change process information?

Give the rationale why you chose certain treatment plans and not others.

Case Scenario

Jack is a 54-year-old patient who has difficulty coming in for primary care visits. He seen in a cardiology clinic, a pulmonology clinic, and an endocrinology clinic for his comorbid conditions of postcoronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) 2 years ago, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, and mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from a 30 pack year history of smoking. His last visit with you was over a year ago. Today, your registered nurse brings you a telephone triage call requesting a refill of his Crestor prescription, which was ordered by cardiology soon after his CABG. Per the electronic links to the cardiology service within your facility, the medication was due to be renewed about 2 months ago. His last lipid labs were a year ago and his last complete metabolic panel (CMP) was done at the same time. He was recently at the pulmonary clinic and his last recorded HgA1C was 9.0 from a visit to endocrine 4 months ago.

Review of records include a prescription for Lisinopril 20 mg PO daily for his hypertension, metformin 1,000 mg PO twice a day for his diabetes, and no known medications for his pulmonary issues. The Crestor prescription for hyperlipidemia appears to have multiple dosing levels over the past few refills.

His last vital signs were blood pressure (BP) 170/110 mm Hg, pulse 88, and respirations 22. His body mass index is 30 and he indicates a pain level of four out of five. His pulse oximetry was 92% on room air.

For the Discussion (Include the corresponding number below as you respond in your initial post):

1. How do you respond to this telephonic request?

2. What steps non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic are required to get Jack’s therapeutic plan under control?

3. Give the rationale why you chose certain treatment plans and not others.

4. Provide the follow up plan for the patient and why you made the decision. Consider continuity of care and timing of visits as well as outlining specific considerations and their priority for each of the specialists this patient sees.

5. Post and reply using the discussion board rubric guidelines. Discuss with other students (nicely) the treatment plan they provided, explain why your plan is appropriate (provide evidence). Just posting “good plan” to another student is NOT acceptable. Your posts must be substantive, having substance and involving matters of major or practical importance to all concerned.

6. Copy and paste your discussion board posts into a word document and place in the Dropbox by the close of the discuss. The Dropbox will check for originality and plagiarism.

References must include your textbook assignment readings (chapters on HTN, DM, HLD, COPD) and the four articles posted in course contents: Whitson & Boyd (2021) Managing multiple comorbidities, Holstein (2018) Managing chronic disease in affordable primary care, Jin, Bratzke, & Bauman (2021) Helping persons with multiple chronic conditions overcome barriers to self-management, and Diggins (2019) Deprescribing polypharmacy management in older adults with comorbidities

Using Parseval’s theorem estimate the power that resides in significant coefficients, insignificant coefficients as well as in the acquired periodic signal

Presume that while observing a periodic phenomena, you obtain complex value Fourier series coefficients. The number of significant coefficients are 18 and the insignificant coefficients are 28.

Both (significant as well as insignificant) components decreases with an increase in the harmonic order. Using Parseval’s theorem estimate the power that resides in significant coefficients, insignificant coefficients as well as in the acquired periodic signal. Hint: You can refer Google search to obtain periodic data associated with any arbitary scenario (cite the source), which can be truncated to size it according to 18 and 28 or using the random number generation, you can synthesize the data.

What is the difference between primary, secondary, and seasonal credit?
