Identify what emotions are evoked as you consider the Colorado Board of Nursing case stated above?

Case Study:

Until recently, the risk of criminal prosecution for nursing practice was nonexistent unless nursing action rose to the level of criminal intent, such as the case of euthanasia leading to murder charges. However, in April 1997, three nurses at the Centura St. Anthony Hospital, outside of Denver, were indicted by a Colorado grand jury for criminally negligent homicide in the death of a newborn. Public records show that one nurse was assigned to care for the baby. A second nurse offered to assist her colleague in caring for the baby. A third nurse was a nurse practitioner in the hospital nursery. Because the baby was at risk for congenital syphilis, the physician ordered that the nurses give 150,000 units of intramuscular penicillin, which would have required five separate injections.

In relation to other problems the same day, the baby was subjected to a lumbar puncture, which required six painful attempts. To avoid inflicting further pain, nurse two asked the nurse practitioner whether there was another route available for the administration of the penicillin. Nurse two and the nurse practitioner searched recognized pharmacology references and determined that intravenous administration would be acceptable. The nurse practitioner had the authority to change the route and directed nurse two to administer the medication intravenously rather than intramuscularly. Unrecognized by the nurses, the pharmacy erroneously delivered the medication, prepared and ready to administer, in a dose ten times greater than was ordered—1.5 million units. As nurse two was administering the medication intravenously, the baby died. The Colorado Board of Nursing initiated disciplinary proceedings against nurse two and the nurse practitioner, but not against nurse one. The grand jury indicted all three nurses on charges of criminally negligent homicide but did not indict the pharmacist (Calfee & Plum, 1997).

Respond to the following:

Identify what emotions are evoked as you consider the Colorado Board of Nursing case stated above?

Identify a real or hypothetical project (like a project to resurface the parking lot of an apartment complex) for which a product or service (like painting the parking space lines after resurfacing is completed) must be procured during the Execution phase.

Create a source selection matrix and use it to select the optimal supplier. Address each of the following:

1. Identify a real or hypothetical project (like a project to resurface the parking lot of an apartment complex) for which a product or service (like painting the parking space lines after resurfacing is completed) must be procured during the Execution phase. In a Word document, briefly describe the project, identify the product or service that must be procured, and identify three possible suppliers (like Painting Company A, Painting Company B, and Painting Company C).

2. Create a source selection matrix in Microsoft Excel in which you list five criteria (like price, proximity of headquarters to job site, supplier’s projection of how long the painting will take, warranty duration, and attractiveness of payment terms) that are important in selecting one of the three alternative suppliers.

3. Once the source selection matrix is created in Excel and populated with suppliers and criteria, weight each criteria (using the same scale for all criteria), score each supplier relative to each criterion (using the same scale for all scores), and then multiply the weight of each criterion by the score for each supplier-criterion combination. Arrive at the optimal solution. This video provides an explanation of this method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-zsALfgTrw.

4. In the Word document in which you described the project, reflect on this process for selecting suppliers and identify at least one advantage and one disadvantage of it relative to another approach that could be taken.

What crimes were most commonly committed on Minnesota campuses between 2009 and 2011?

As a result of recent campus safety concerns at Capella University, you have been engaged by campus security team leaders to gather and analyze data about on-campus crime rates in schools in the state of Minnesota. Crime data from 181 Minnesota campuses has been compiled in the Campus Crime Data file. Write a management report for campus security team leaders, analyzing and evaluating campus crime data for Minnesota. Include your findings and recommendations for your clients. In your report, be sure to examine the following:

What crimes were most commonly committed on Minnesota campuses between 2009 and 2011? Based on the data, would you say the crime rates decreased or increased from 2009 to 2011?
The campus security leaders believe that the three-year total crime rate in public institutions is higher than that in private institutions. They have asked you to test that hypothesis. Conduct the test and describe your results. To start, you will:
Formulate the hypotheses statement.
Determine the three-year total crime rate per institution, separately, for private and public institutions.
Use the appropriate statistical approach to conduct and test the hypotheses for difference in crime rates.
Your clients would also like you to develop a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference in three-year total campus crime rates between public and private institutions in Minnesota. Report your results.
What, if any, ethical issues should concern you in conducting your research?
