A nurse teaches a group of student nurses about different types of strokes. Read the paragraph below. From the dropdown menus, fill in each blank with the best response. Each correct response will be used only once (one answer option will not be used).   “The most common type of ischemic stroke, usually due to atherosclerosis of larger cerebral vessels, is called a(n) stroke.  If a piece of atherosclerotic plaque breaks off, or if a blood clot forms in the heart due to atrial fibrillation, it can travel and become lodged in a narrower artery of the brain causing a(n) stroke. If blood flow obstructs a deeper, penetrating artery within the brain, this is called a(n) stroke and typically has fewer signs and symptoms due to a smaller amount of brain tissue affected. Finally, strokes have the highest mortality rate of all strokes.”

What should the nurse prioritize what intervention when the client’s bladder scan shows >600mL with client complaints of abdominal discomfort and visible pelvic distention? 

A pharmaceutical company is investigating the blood pressure lowering benefits of a new drug.  The company randomly assigns individuals to receive either zero (a placebo), 5, 10, or 20 mg of the drug, and calls this variable ti, and then measures each participant’s systolic blood pressure, and calls this variable si.  They then estimate the following regression model for the effect of the drug on blood pressure: (1) The company also gathered data on each participant’s weight (wi) and age (ai), two variables which typically influence blood pressure.  Using this information, they estimate another regression model:     (2) How will the estimate of change from equation (1) to equation (2)?

In December, Amos was talking with his 80-year-old grandfather about the COVID-19 vaccine.  Amos asked his grandfather how likely he was to get vaccinated.  His grandfather answered – “Probably about 90%.”  In January, when Amos was speaking with his grandfather again, his grandfather said, “I saw on the internet that the vaccine has a microchip in it that changes your DNA! That worries me a lot. There’s only a 10% chance that I’ll get vaccinated now.”  Amos had heard these conspiracy theories before and walked his grandfather through all the evidence showing that these claims aren’t just false but are totally ridiculous.  At the end of the conversation, Amos again asked his grandfather how likely he was to get vaccinated.  His grandfather answered – “Probably about 75%.”    The fact that Amos’s grandfather was still less likely to get vaccinated than he was in December, even after hearing that the information about microchips in the vaccine was false, is most consistent with what decision-making error?

Laura and her dad like to spend Saturdays checking out yard sales around their neighborhood. One Saturday while out at a yard sale, they spot a pair of hiking boots that are marked at $20. Laura’s dad offers the owner $16 for the boots but the owner declines. Later that day, another person purchases the boots for $20.  A couple of Saturdays later, Laura and her dad are at another yard sale when they spot a remarkably similar pair of hiking boots (in fact, they were the same exact boots!). The boots are now marked at $25 dollars. Laura’s dad offers the owner $21 for the boots.    The fact that Laura’s dad offered $16 for boots at the first yard sale, but $21 for the same boots at the second yard sale demonstrates what phenomenon of human decision-making?   

Mike pays $1 to enter a raffle. He was hoping to win an autographed photograph of a famous baseball player, but instead he won a red UW-Madison t-shirt.  He already has about twenty red UW-Madison t-shirts and he probably wouldn’t have paid even 25 cents for another one. Mike’s friend Patrick sees that Mike is disappointed to have won the t-shirt and so the next day Patrick asks if he could buy the t-shift from Mike for $5. Mike thinks about it and says that he wouldn’t sell the t-shirt for less than $20.   This scenario illustrates what decision-making error?
