Question
5.During an eight hours shift, hospital patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are assigned to a nurse at a ratio of 2:1.
c.)Add more arrows to your diagram so that the new relation between the patients (domain) and the nurses (range) is no longer a function. Describe the practical implications for this non-function relation.

Transcribed Image Text:The image shows a bipartite graph that represents the relationship between patients and nurses.
There are two sets of elements, positioned in vertical ovals:
1. **Patients:**
- Represented by the symbols \( P_1, P_2, P_3, P_4, P_5, P_6, P_7, P_8 \).
2. **Nurses:**
- Represented by the symbols \( N_1, N_2, N_3, N_4 \).
This diagram is typically used to illustrate relationships or assignments between two groups, such as which nurse is assigned to which patient. However, the image currently doesn't show any specific connections or links between the two sets. The arrangement suggests potential assignments or matches can be made, considering one nurse may be responsible for multiple patients or vice versa.
