The purpose of this assignment is to create an operational budget presentation identifying key components of budgeting and possible capital purchases that may be required.

Scenario: You have been asked to create an operational budget for a 20-bed nursing unit and present it to the senior leaders of your organization.

Create a presentation of 10-12 slides, including comprehensive speaker notes that detail the budget.

1. Provide the key components of budgeting, including the cost of staff, activities, services, and supplies.
2. Identify and describe a relevant capital purchase this unit may require, including the need, the return on investment, benefits, etc.

Use at least three references, including your textbook.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines,

Can you explain me what’s the problem with this question?

M.N., age 40, was admitted with acute cholecystitis. After undergoing an open cholecystectomy, she is being admitted to your surgical floor. She has a nasogastric tube to continuous low wall suction, one peripheral IV, and a large abdominal dressing. Her orders are as follows:

Physician’s Orders
Progress diet to low-fat diet as tolerated
D5 ½ NS with 40 mEq KCl at 125 mL/hr
Turn, cough, and deep breathe q2h
Incentive spirometer q2h while awake
Dangle in AM, ambulate in PM
Morphine sulfate 10 mg IM q4h prn for pain
Ampicillin (Omnipen) 2 g IVPB q6h
Chest x-ray in AM

Four hours after admission, the nursing assistive personnel (NAP) reports to you the following:
Blood pressure 148/82 mm Hg
Heart rate 118 beats/min
Respiratory rate 24 breaths/min
Temperature 101° F (38.3°C)
Sa O2 88%

4. You know M.N. is at risk for postoperative pneumonia and atelectasis. What is atelectasis, and why is M.N. at risk?

The most important considerations is whether a fetus has ‘personhood’. The reason, of course, is that if the fetus meets the requirements for personhood, then the moral worth of the fetus is on par with that of any other human and, presumably, deserves the same rights.

propose a definition that meets the criteria discussed in the section on definitions.

Please be aware that you are not being asked to simply find a definition!  Your aim is to develop a definition that is so precise that without fail it only includes what counts as a person and nothing else. Below is an example of how this works. Your post must show some critical thought being applied in the following way.

Simply giving a definition is not sufficient.

Here is an example: A person is a being who is capable of rational thought.

Now that we have something to start with, we need to test it.  First, we can ask if there is anything capable of rational thought that is not a person.

Can you think of any? Do dolphins or elephants, for example, have rational thoughts? (You might notice that this pushes us further to ask what we mean by ‘rational’ or ‘thought’!)

So, significant problems arise with this definition.  For instance, it wouldn’t seem to include infants, mentally incompetent persons, and so forth. ‘Rational’ is also somewhat ambiguous and so, even if the definition works, we now need to provide a clear definition of ‘rational’.

Since the proposed definition didn’t include something that it should have, we need to modify it. Again, we could try to define rationality, but let’s go a different route.

Second example: A person is a being that is warm-blooded.  This definition doesn’t seem to work because it doesn’t exclude all that it should.  For instance, some fish are warm-blooded and it doesn’t seem as if they should fall into the same ‘category of value’ as humans.

So, again, the definition doesn’t work. But what happens when we try to refine it with other mental or biological components? Or perhaps behaviors? Something else?

Note that I don’t expect this assignment to be easy in the sense that you’ll quickly come up with a definition.  (No one has come up with a definition that isn’t controversial for some reason or another.)

The point is to gain a better understanding of what it takes to define a term clearly and un-controversially. You MUST offer a definition and then test it. Just like in math class, show your work
