Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is best defined as:  

The nurse is aware that certain groups of persons are at higher risk for fluid imbalance? These groups include which of the following?  (Select all that apply.)

A patient is diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and increased pulmonary vascular resistance. Related to the pathophysiology of this condition, which type of heart failure could result from this condition?

Boolean connectors are AND (expands the search) and OR (narrows the search). 

Define the following terms. Match each term to the correct definition:

A meteorologist reports that the probability that a particular hurricane will be at least at the Category 4 level when it hits the coast of Florida is 0.85.  If the hurricane is at least at the Category 4 level, there is a 0.95 probability that there will be a 10-foot storm surge.  If the hurricane is less than a Category 4 level, then there is a 0.10 probability that there will be a 10-foot storm surge.  Use the tree diagram below to find the probability of a 10-foot storm surge.  Round your answers to 3 decimal places.

For this question, enter your final answer here in the Canvas exam.  You may show your work here or on scratch paper. Label each part of the question clearly.  If showing work on scratch paper, submit a photo of the work in the designated area in Canvas within 5 minutes of completing the exam.  Total cholesterol levels of women in the United States between the ages of 30 – 39 are normally distributed with a mean of 203 mg/dL and a standard deviation of 36 mg/dl. Use this information to answer the questions that follow.  Round your answers to the following questions to three decimal places. a. [5] A woman is classified as having high cholesterol if her level is at least 240 mg/dL. What is the probability a randomly selected woman from the United States between the ages of 30 – 39 has high cholesterol? b. [3] The highest 5% of CBF levels are a minimum of what value?   c. [5] A 30-year-old American woman has a total cholesterol level of 129 mg/dL. Calculate and interpret in context of this scenario the Z-score for this value. d. [6] Nine (9) American women between the ages of 30 – 39 are randomly selected and the mean cholesterol level of these 9 women is calculated to be 227 mg/dL. What is the probability that the mean cholesterol level from a sample of 9 is less than 227 mg/dL?

What is the mean of a standard normal (z) distribution?

A generic life cycle has six stages. It begins with Stage 1 and continues chronologically through Stage 4. Stages 5 – Remanufacturing (i.e., unidirectionally connecting Stage 4 to 1) and 6 – Recycling (i.e., unidirectionally connecting Stage 4 to 2) are the disposition pathways. If the gate is set between stages 2 and 3, and this is a cradle-to-gate assessment, (i) draw the LCA diagram with proper labeling and denotations [out of 12 pts]. Using the LCA diagram from part “i” and the table data below, (ii) calculate and show the cumulative emission rates for the life cycle stages within the study boundary [out of 4 pts]. If the threshold for a high-emission hotspot is above 3 t/yr and a mid-emission hotspot is between 2 t/yr and 3 t/yr, (iii) list which study life cycle stage(s) would be considered a high- and mid-emission hotspot, respectively [out of 4 pts].

Describe, exemplify, and/or illustrate: (i) the Systemic Equity framework in its entirety [out of 6 pts], (ii) the six study design parameters with a description for each [out of 2 pts], (iii) the last step in an LCA [out of 2 pts], and (iv) list the five stakeholder categories of Social LCA (S-LCA) as designated by the United Nations [out of 2 pts].   A research group tried to perform an S-LCA to address a consumer-based challenge for a historically marginalized community. This research group effectively disbursed enough resources, developed equitable written policies, and attempted to abide by those policies. However, this research group failed to perform an impact assessment and failed to effectively confirm if the study met this marginalized community’s cultural needs. Given this information and using your responses to parts “i”, “ii”, and “iv” as reference, (v) describe which ‘partial’ or ineffective equity category this research group falls into and why [out of 3 pts], (vi) list the only S-LCA stakeholder category that is explicitly not consumer-based and, therefore, likely not to represent the marginalized community of this LCA [out of 2 pts], and (vii) explain if and why this research group performed a full LCA—or not [out of 3 pts].
