Discuss the components of the Affordable Care Act that you think will have a positive effect on improving health care outcomes and decreasing costs.

Please help me write this speech! I will add personal details to it later. Here is the relevant info, as well as the completed outline attached.

The purpose of the speech is to inform on a specific career related to the Academic Degree you are pursuing. The speech is not specifically about you.  Instead, it is about the career itself.

How To Get Started:

Imagine you are delivering a speech during Career Day at a school. Describe to your audience the nature of this profession such as specific daily job duties, working environment, educational requirements, job prospects, advancement prospects, salaries, etc.

Bar code medication administration (BCMA)

 

Bar code medication administration (BCMA) is when the patient’s armband is scanned along with the medication, if they match, the medication may be administered (Hebda et al., 2019). This is new technology that helps prevent medication errors. BCMA and e-MAR ensures that the right patient receives the correct medication, this adheres to the 5 patient rights for medication administration (Naidu & Alicia, 2019, p. 511). The 5 patient rights for medication administration are right patient, right medication, right time, right dosage, and right route. While scanning the patient and each medication, if the e-MAR doesn’t recognize the medication for the patient, it won’t allow for the nurse to document that it was given. However, nurses still need to be aware of these pop-ups and place the medication aside because that medication isn’t supposed to go to that patient at that specific time and they need to figure out why. BCMA doesn’t completely prevent medication errors. Nurses still need to focus on the medications they are giving to their patients. Getting distracted by patients and their families can cause the nurse to misplace a medication when scanning them. Ensuring that all the scanned medications are the ones actually given to the patient is critical. Nurses still need to be aware that some medications may be the wrong dosage and may need to be split. They also need to be aware of vital signs and if the medication is still appropriate for the patient to take. Ethically this can be taking away some of the nurse’s autonomy of checking the medication name, dosage, and expiration date on the medication label. BCMA is supposed to reduce medication error, but nurses still need to be focused when administering medications. They need to ensure the patient is in the right condition to be taking specific medications. BCMA doesn’t take into consideration patients vital signs and stability to take a medication, so the nurse will have to still document “not given” in these scenarios. Patient armbands could also be ripped, or wet and unreadable to the scanner. Ensuring that the scanner is working properly and if something is wrong to fully check that it is the correct patient before administering the medications.

Each student is expected to post at least twice. For your original post, please select one probability problem to work on. Reply to at least one class member’s post. Replies should be meaningful. Avoid responses such as “Great job”, “I agree with you”, etc., that do not add content.

SAMPLE SPACES

1. A Girl Named Florida

Here’s a three-part puzzler. For each part list the sample space. Listing the sample space will make the probability clear. You can denote Boy as B, Girl as G, and Florida as F when listing a sample space. For example, the sample space of the birth events boy-girl and girl-girl is {BG, GG}.

1. Your friend has two children. What is the probability that both are girls?
2. Your friend has two children. You know for a fact that at least one of them is a girl. What is the probability that the other one is a girl?
3. Your friend has three children. One is a girl named Florida and one is a girl named Holley. What is the probability that the first child is a boy?

2. A Game Show

Let’s say you are a contestant on a game show. The host of the show presents you with a choice of 4 doors, which we will call doors 1, 2, 3, and 4. You do not know what is behind each door, but you do know that a new Cadillac Escalade and 3 old cars are randomly placed behind the doors. The host knows where the Escalade is. The game is played out is as follows. The host lets you choose a door. The host opens a door with an old car and asks you whether or not you want to change your door choice.

1. Visualization is a powerful tool. Download the 4-Door Game Show Worksheet Worksheet (<-- Click it).
2. Fill in the empty text boxes with Escalade or Old Car as determined by the sample spaces contestant keeps or switches doors.
3. Complete the calculation P(Win | Switch door) and P(Win | Keep door) by revising “?” to the number of favorable outcomes.
4. Attach your completed worksheet to your post.
5. Should the contestant switch doors?

PROBABILITY

3. A Birthday Problem

There are 30 people in this class.

a) What is the probability that at least 2 of the people in the class share the same birthday?

b) If P(at least 2 of the people in the class share the same birthday) = 25%, how many people are in the class?

4. Addition Rules and Real Estate

You are a realtor. In your area there are 50 starter homes, 75 mid value homes without solar power, 15 mid value homes with solar power, 35 high value homes without solar power, and 25 high value homes with solar power. If a home is picked randomly to show

a) What is the probability it has solar power and it is a mid-value home?

b) What is the probability it has solar power or it is a mid-value home?

c) What is the probability it has not solar power and not a mid-value home?

CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY

5. Disease Testing, True and False Positives

0.05% of adults over the age of 60 have lung cancer, 95% of adults who have lung cancer will test positive (the accuracy of the test for people with the disease), and 90% percent of adults that do NOT have lung cancer will test negative (accuracy of the test for people without the disease).

a) Compute the probability of having disease and testing positive (true positive)

b) Compute the probability of not having disease and testing positive (false positive).

c) Compute P(positive test).

d) Compute P(disease | test positive).

e) If somebody tests positive for that disease, is there a 99% chance that they have the disease?

6. Real Estate

You are a realtor. In your area there are 50 starter homes, 75 mid value homes without solar power, 15 mid value homes with solar power, 35 high value homes without solar power, and 25 high value homes with solar power. If a home is picked randomly to show,

Using the data, make your own conditional probability problem.
