For this assignment, I want you to think about an experimental question you are
interested in. For this experiment (can be as real or as unrealistic as you would like),
explain a possibility for every part of an experiment below:
An experiment in which I am trying to find out how much a placebo affects the
performance of athletes. I will have two groups in my experiment, and tell one of them
that they are receiving caffeine pills (group A) to help their performance in their
sporting event that day. The group that I told they would receive caffeine pills will
receive a sugar pill, giving the placebo that they are more likely to succeed because they
have had caffeine. The other group will not receive any pil (group B) l, and compete as
normal. I will use my data collected on how each athlete from each group performs, and
use it to find out if there is a working placebo effect that enhances the performance of
athletes who took the pill, which makes them perform better.
Explanatory variable:
The athlete's reaction to the possible placebo effect. They will be given a sugar pill and
told they were being performed enhancing caffeine pill. I will be measuring the change
in their performance, and seeing if the fake caffeine will make the athletes perform
better, compared to the group that did not receive any fake pill, and also had no placebo
effect.
Response variable:
Giving group A a fake pill, to test their reaction, and see if their performance is enhanced
by a placebo effect.
Are there any confounding variables:
I think there are many. How much sleep did all of the athletes get which might affect
their performance, and how good is each athlete usually? If I accidentally put the top
player in one group, and a really bad player in another, the result might become biased.
Do my athletes have pre-existing opinions that might change their reaction to the
placebo effect? For example, maybe some of my athletes think that caffeine makes them
too hyper to focus on their sport, so before I give them the fake pill they might already
assume that the pill will make their performance worse than normal.
Control group:
My group that is unchanged from normal, group B, the one that is not given any drug, or
fake drug. They will be competing as they normally do to help me contract with group A.
Will there be a placebo? Why or why not?
Yes. I am bliding group A, and telling them they they are receiving caffeine pills, which
might make them perform better. With this, I will see if their performance changes
depending on their belief that they had caffeine or not. Lying to them might give them a
placebo effect.
Will there be any blinding?
Yes. I explained above
Will this be an observational study or a survey?
Yes, I am watching the player's reactions in group A, and seeing if their performance
changed because they think they've taken a caffeine pill. I am watching someone's
reaction to something in my study which makes my study an observational study

3) A 28 yr old woman is newly sober for the past 3 months
after completing an intensive outpatient recovery program.
She wants to hang out with her co-workers at happy hour
in a local club. She is anxious but goes out with them and
orders a soda. She feels good that she was able to go out
and not have an alcoholic drink.
The following week the same scenario plays out without
her having an alcoholic beverage. Is she on the path to
staying sober or on the road to relapse? Why?

a) Lysine is an essential amino acid. It is taken by some people as a nutritional supplement in
the form of a hydrated crystalline solid with the formula C6H₁4N2O2.XH₂O . To control the dose of
lysine, it is essential to know the complete formula of the hydrate, which means determining the
value of x.
To determine the value of x in lysine hydrate, a pharmacist used a direct titration method. She
dissolved 6.258g of the compound in approximately 100mL of distilled water and then made
this up to 250mL in a volumetric flask. She then titrated 25mL aliquots of this solution with a
standardized NaOH solution of concentration 0.1050 mol dm-³, obtaining a mean titre of 36.30
mL. In titrations, lysine behaves as a monoprotic acid.
Use these data to determine the value of x in lysine hydrate.
b) In a second experiment to verify the value of x, the pharmacist heated a 3.752g sample of the
lysine hydrate to drive off all the water. When she reweighed the sample, the mass was 3.278 g.

One of the most common types of kidney stones are composed of calcium oxalate. In addition to calcium oxalate another product is also formed in the formation of kidney stones in the body. Certain foods are high in oxalate and lead to an increase of forming kidney stones in the human body. These high-risk foods are as follows:
Spinach
Swiss Chard
Almonds (nuts in general)
Sesame Seeds
Soy Products (such as soy-based milk, cheese, yogurt)
Sweet Potatoes
Okra
Beets
Chocolate
Black Tea
Another risk factor to developing kidney stones is not drinking enough water. Males have a higher chance than females of developing kidney stones, with the average age being 30. Oxalate in food binds to calcium during digestion in the stomach and intestines and then is excreted in the body as waste. If too much oxalate appears in the urine and not enough liquid (due to not drinking enough water), then calcium oxalate crystals form, which are the kidney stone.

This assignment is designed to help you learn how to
determine total costs by combining direct and indirect
costs for a particular department.
In this GHA, you will be determining the total costs for
three departments: (1) Physical Therapy (2)
Occupational Therapy and (3) Speech Therapy.
To determine the total costs, you will need to add the
direct costs to the indirect costs using the template
provided below.
Please use the example provided in the assignment
description if you find that you need some support
understanding the required calculations.
DIRECT COSTS
The direct costs for each department are easily
identifiable, because they are the costs that are directly
attributable to the department.
The direct costs are as follows:
Physical Therapy (PT)
Occupational Therapy (OT)
Speech Therapy (ST)
Total Direct Costs
INDIRECT COSTS
The indirect costs will need to be allocated to Physical
Therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OT), and Speech
Therapy (ST).
The indirect costs in this…

You have just started working in an Urgent Care Clinic as a nurse. Mom brings in her 3 year old little boy, Brandon. Mom states that Brandon has been having fever up to 104F and he isn't eating or drinking anything because he feels very sick to his stomach, not to mention crabby! He's also been pulling a lot at his right ear and sounds congested. At the last well visit with the Pediatrician (about 2 weeks ago), Mom states that Brandon weighed 32 pounds.
On exam today, his weight is 12.5 kg. Additionally his eyes are darkened and sunken, his mouth is dry with some white crusting around the lips. His temperature is 39C, other vitals signs are normal. Though he looks ill he appears to be medically stable. The doctor rushes in, quickly exams Brandon, diagnoses him with otitis media and then barks off orders to you that you then need to convey accurately to Mom. The orders include: push fluids, ibuprofen 10mg/kg every 6 hours if temp > 38C, and begin taking a 10-day course of…
