Suppose the government has promised to pay $100 billion dollars in benefits 10 years from now. Assuming an interest rate of 5%, what is the present discounted value (PDV) of the obligation? Answer in billions of dollars, rounded to two decimal places. (i.e. enter 3.13 as the answer for 3.13 billion). Do not enter a ‘$’ sign.

Price level as measured by the CPI was 104 in 1984 and 251 in 2018. Calculate the value of interest payments made by the government in 2018, adjusted to 1984 dollars. (i.e. enter 3 as your answer for $3 billion). Round to the nearest whole number and do not enter a ‘$’ sign.
Cаse Study 1: Trаumаtic Injury with AFO (J.K.) Scenariо: J.K., a 32-year-оld cоnstruction worker, suffered a traumatic injury to his left leg after a fall, resulting in a tibial nerve injury and foot drop. He is fitted with an Ankle-Foot Orthosis (AFO) to stabilize his ankle and improve gait. The AFO prevents tripping by maintaining dorsiflexion during walking, enhancing mobility and safety. 1.3 Which best describes sympathetic nervous system activation? J.K.’s traumatic tibial nerve injury, the body's overall sympathetic response remains active with the local response in the injured limb disrupted.
Cаse Study 5: Trаumаtic Amputatiоn with Abоve-Knee Prоsthetic (D.H.) Scenario: D.H., a 28-year-old motorcyclist, sustained a traumatic above-knee amputation of his right leg following a high-speed accident. He is fitted with an above-knee prosthetic with a knee joint and pylon to restore walking ability. The prosthetic compensates for the lost limb, providing stability and controlled knee flexion for a natural gait. 5.1 Which best describes the primary difference between dermatome and peripheral nerve innervation? D.H.'s residual limb retains sensory input from both dermatomes and peripheral nerves despite amputation. This distinction is relevant for understanding phantom limb sensations, residual limb sensitivity, and prosthetic socket comfort, all of which impact prosthetic design and fit.

Scenario: D.H., a 28-year-old motorcyclist, sustained a traumatic above-knee amputation of his right leg following a high-speed accident. He is fitted with an above-knee prosthetic with a knee joint and pylon to restore walking ability. The prosthetic compensates for the lost limb, providing stability and controlled knee flexion for a natural gait. 5.4 A patient reports numbness in a strip of skin extending from the lateral thigh down to the knee. Which of the following best explains this pattern of sensory loss? D.H.’s residual limb still receives dermatome-based sensory input from his spinal nerves, even though the lower limb is amputated. Recognizing how dermatomal patterns correspond to spinal nerve roots helps in evaluating phantom limb pain, nerve sensitivity, and proper prosthetic socket design, ensuring areas of altered sensation are accommodated for optimal comfort and function.
