The moderately high bargaining power of customers is influenced by competition. Mainly in group travels, the ticket is bought using the travel agents in which the customers have many airline options (Porter Analysis, 2017, September 14). The cost of switching to competitors’ services is low for individuals and groups (Pratap, 2020, January 3).

Bargaining Power of Suppliers

The bargaining power of suppliers is relatively high based on their capacity to cause price variations. Southwest Airlines buy planes from Boeing, and there are only other few manufacturers (Pratap, 2020, January 3). The fuel suppliers are very powerful. However, some suppliers, like the providers of equipment, technology, and other services, have low bargaining power since they can explore other options.

So far, all terrorist attacks directed at religious installations have either involved mass shootings, whereby a gunman enters a mosque and starts indiscriminately shooting occupants within the facility, as it happened during the March 15th, 2019 terrorist attack at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, or bombings. Even though until now, no documented case of terrorists walking into a mosque and taking hostages, rather than just killing them, it would be reasonable to believe that such an occurrence might happen in the near future, considering the tendency of terrorists to evolve, adapt, and change their tactics.  Mosques in Riyadh have so far not been attacked by terrorists, with a probable incident foiled in 2012, after the planners were arrested and bomb-making materials were found within a mosque located in Riyadh.

Secondly, teachers should also improve the ‘social stock’ of these students by making them aware of some skills and interests as this boosts their confidence around others. The third element is highlighting these students’ islands of competence, unique to them to improve their social standing among their peers. Lastly, teachers can also contribute to their development of friendships and meaningful relationships by the issuance of collective rewards rather than the common collective punishment. For example, when the whole class is rewarded because of Anna’s excellence in math, there is likely to be a positive shift in how her classmates view her.

Answer preview

The defense attorney is on the side of Montresor. His goal is to make sure that Montresor is not guilty at any cost. The final argument of the defense attorney is that Montresor is not guilty based on the following arguments. First, the existing pieces of evidence are not reputable enough to be used before the court. For example, someone can make a false confession if he/she wants to get imprisoned. Besides, there are no facts to justify whether Montresor is telling the truth. Secondly, the defense attorney can request the court to investigate the matter before assuming that the suspect is guilty.

Lyme Disease Case Study A 38-year-old male had a 3-week history of fatigue and lethargy with intermittent complaints of headache, fever, chills, myalgia, and arthralgia. According to the history, the patient’s symptoms began shortly after a camping vacation. He recalled a bug bite and rash on his thigh immediately after the trip. The following studies were ordered: Studies Results Lyme disease test, Elevated IgM antibody titers against Borrelia burgdorferi (normal: low) Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), 30 mm/hour (normal: ≤15 mm/hour) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), 32 units/L (normal: 8-20 units/L) Hemoglobin (Hgb), 12 g/dL (normal: 14-18 g/dL) Hematocrit (Hct), 36% (normal: 42%-52%) Rheumatoid factor (RF), Negative (normal: negative) Antinuclear antibodies (ANA), Negative (normal: negative) Diagnostic Analysis Based on the patient’s history of camping in the woods and an insect bite and rash on the thigh, Lyme disease was suspected. Early in the course of this disease, testing for specific immunoglobulin (Ig) M antibodies against B. burgdorferi is the most helpful in diagnosing Lyme disease. An elevated ESR, increased AST levels, and mild anemia are frequently seen early in this disease. RF and ANA abnormalities are usually absent.

Critical Thinking Questions 1. What is the cardinal sign of Lyme disease? (always on the boards) 2. At what stages of Lyme disease are the IgG and IgM antibodies elevated? 3. Why was the ESR elevated? 4. What is the Therapeutic goal for Lyme Disease and what is the recommended treatment.


Peripheral Vascular Disease Case Studies A 52-year-old man complained of pain and cramping in his right calf caused by walking two blocks. The pain was relieved with cessation of activity. The pain had been increasing in frequency and intensity. Physical examination findings were essentially normal except for decreased hair on the right leg. The patient’s popliteal, dorsalis pedis, and posterior tibial pulses were markedly decreased compared with those of his left leg. Studies Results Routine laboratory work Within normal limits (WNL) Doppler ultrasound systolic pressures Femoral: 130 mm Hg; popliteal: 90 mm Hg; posterior tibial: 88 mm Hg; dorsalis pedis: 88 mm Hg (normal: same as brachial systolic blood pressure) Arterial plethysmography Decreased amplitude of distal femoral, popliteal, dorsalis pedis, and posterior tibial pulse waves Femoral arteriography of right leg Obstruction of the femoral artery at the midthigh level Arterial duplex scan Apparent arterial obstruction in the superficial femoral artery Diagnostic Analysis With the clinical picture of classic intermittent claudication, the noninvasive Doppler and plethysmographic arterial vascular study merely documented the presence and location of the arterial occlusion in the proximal femoral artery. Most vascular surgeons prefer arteriography to document the location of the vascular occlusion. The patient underwent a bypass from the proximal femoral artery to the popliteal artery. After surgery he was asymptomatic.

Critical Thinking Questions 1. What was the cause of this patient’s pain and cramping? 2. Why was there decreased hair on the patient’s right leg? 3. What would be the strategic physical assessments after surgery to determine the adequacy of the patient’s circulation? 4. What would be the treatment of intermittent Claudication for non-occlusion?

Requirements: 4 paragraph each case study

Answer preview

The primary therapeutic objective for Lyme disease is to minimize more complex situations with the illness and avoid progression into further stages. The best-recommended treatment for this disease is antibiotics which should be administered as early as possible after diagnosis. The benefit of prescribing antibiotics as treatment for Lyme infection is because they will provide quick relief from symptoms. Also, the drugs will prevent further evolution of the disease to progress into late stages that are complex to treat. Adults diagnosed with the illness are often administered an antibiotic known as doxycycline, taken within 21 days of early symptoms. Other antibiotics include cefuroxime axetil and amoxicillin, which are taken orally (Shapiro, 2014). Although similar drugs can be prescribed for children with early-stage Lime disease, the dosage is minimized.

Answer preview

In Newskool Groove’s case, employees are exposed to American, Ukrainian, and German cultures. All these cultures have different perspectives on how employees should interact and conduct themselves within the working environment. Courtesy of this, conflicts will arise, especially when employees from different cultures interact. Once this happens, workplace cooperation and collaboration are adversely affected, an aspect that threatens the efficiency boundaryless structures accord to organizations such as Newskool (Robbins & Judge, 2016). For instance, due to the culture in LA, employees at this office prefer to work from home, only going to the office once a week to attend company meetings. This culture is quite different from the one adopted in Ukraine, whereby employees are expected to go to work every day of the week. Under these circumstances, employees at the LA office will have a hard time collaborating on a project with their counterparts from Ukraine and vice versa.

Instructions: Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions. Please provide rationales for your answers. Make sure to provide citations/references for your answers in APA format.

CASE STUDY: Preschool Child: Ricky

Ricky, age 4 years, arrives in the clinic with his mother. Ricky lives with his mother and father, who both work full-time, and his infant sister. Their extended family lives in a different state more than 100 miles away. Both parents are of average height and in good health. Ricky’s mother mentions that Ricky often expresses frustration, particularly in regard to food. Conflict over food occurs every day. Mealtime is a battle to get him to eat, unless his mother feeds him. Ricky’s baby sister seems to tolerate all baby foods but requires her mother to spoon-feed. Ricky’s mother is quite frustrated and concerned that he will become malnourished.

Reflective Questions

1. What additional assessment information would you collect?

2. What questions would you ask, and how would you further explore this issue with the mother?

3. In what ways does the distance of the extended family influence this family’s approach to health promotion?

4. What factors would you consider to determine whether malnourishment is a factor in this family

Requirements: 2. pages

Answer preview

Families are breeding grounds for values, behaviors, and attitudes, which are instigators of health promotion. In addition to that, extended families play a vital role in contributing to the resources needed to support health promotion. Studies have shown that families who live in extended family circles live healthier lifestyles than families who live as a single isolated unit (Panico, Bartley, Kelly, McMunn & Sacker, 2019). This effect has been attributed to the support mechanism of living close to extended families. In the case of Ricky’s family, the fact that they live more than 100 miles away from their extended families signifies the absence of a support system in the form of family members who could show concern about their wellbeing. This concern expressed by the support mechanism could promote a healthier lifestyle and better life decisions that could translate into better health outcomes for Ricky’s family. Therefore, distance from the extended family could be a significant deterrent from the family’s approach to health promotion.

Positive and negative externalities

/in /by

We looked at positive and negative externalities and what can be done to reduce the negative externalities or expand the positive externalities. How can we relate what happened with Coronavirus back to these ideas? Are there any positive/negative externalities here and if so, what are they and what is being done about them?

Requirements: 200+ words

Answer preview

Positive externalities may also occur when the risk of contracting COVID-19 is high, and this is because people will be forced to self-isolate. In addition, following the government restriction on Covid-19 will reduce the spread of the virus, ensuring benefits to the third party (Okyere, Forson, and Essel‐Gaisey, 2020). The pandemic has also prompted the trying out of new technologies to help curb the virus. During the lockdown, people were forced to stay indoors; hence online platforms had an increased opportunity to provide services to the people. This is a positive externality for online businesses. The lack of social distancing creates a negative externality, increasing the risk of infections in society. In order to prevent the negative externalities, the government put in measures that will reduce the risk of infection. In addition, the government provided tax breaks and subsidies for businesses that were forced to shut down and make losses during the pandemic.
