[U6Q] A customer service manager asks a corporate data analyst to generate a report on call resolution times. After completing this, the analyst creates additional reports for other metrics without being asked. The manager becomes frustrated because the original request took much longer than expected. Which type of waste when analyzing a process is this scenario an example of?

[U4Q] A group home asks a professor from a local university to train supervisors to conduct a functional assessment. After they are trained to fidelity, the supervisors then train other supervisors, who help teach their support staff these procedures. Which of the following is the professor likely using?

[U5Q] A recent change in insurance funding has reduced reimbursement rates for ABA companies. Bailee’s company responds by increasing billing targets to compensate for the lost revenue. Bailee puts in more hours billing, but she often appears distracted during sessions and has become less interested in engaging with the kids. Her staff and parents voice their concerns and, in some cases, provide negative feedback. Which of the following is the likely antecedent to burnout given this scenario’s information?

[U4Q] Shannon is a shift supervisor in a lunch hall at a local university. She identifies three floor managers to be her “eyes and ears” on the floor during meals. She trains her floor managers on the steps to clean and prepare a table for a new guest, after the current guest leaves. She then asks the floor managers to train a group of four employees on the cleaning and preparation process. Which of the following is Shannon using?

[U4Q] A behavioral clinic hires a consultant to teach the supervisors at the facility to implement procedures designed to safely manage extreme problem behaviors, like aggression. Once fully trained and certified, the supervisors then instruct each of their individual staff members the same protocols. Which of the following is the consultant using?

A patient receiving mechanical ventilation has a peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) of 60 cmH₂O, a plateau pressure of 45 cmH₂O, and a flow rate of 60 L/min. Calculate the airway resistance (RAW) and determine if it falls within normal range. You must have the correct unit of measurement to get full points.

A patient has a PTA of 5 cmH20. Three hours later, the high-alarm pressure activates. The patient’s PTA is now 14 cmH20. What is the most likely cause of this change?

Comprehensive Ventilator Management Essay — Choose ONE Scenario Choose ONE of the following clinical scenarios. In 4–6 well‑organized sentences, demonstrate your ability to integrate assessment, ventilator strategy, physiologic reasoning, and decision‑making. Your answer must address all required elements listed for your chosen case.OPTION # 1 – ARDS on Invasive Mechanical Ventilation. Discuss:• Your PEEP/FiO₂ strategy based on severity• Driving pressure considerations and safe limits• When and why you would initiate prone positioningOPTION # 2 – COPD on NIV. Discuss:• How you would titrate IPAP/EPAP• How you manage oxygen titration in hypercapnia‑risk patients• What CO₂ trends would make you escalate to intubationOPTION # 3 – Neuro/ICP on VC-CMV. Discuss:• Appropriate minute ventilation targets• When temporary hyperventilation is acceptable and its safe limits• The hemodynamic effects of PPV in elevated ICPOPTION # 4 – Post operative CABG Weaning. Discuss:• RSBI, tidal volume, and rate expectations• How you interpret CO and CI in readiness assessments• Your extubation readiness decision and post‑extubation support choiceOPTION # 5 – RDS non responsive to conventional ventilation. Discuss:• When you would escalate to HFOV or HFJV• When NAVA or APRV may be preferred (and why)• The first parameter(s) you would adjust when gas exchange fails to improve
