1. My external webcam is set up on the side, approximately an arms length away, so that during the test I am visible, my hands and keyboard are visible, and the front of my computer screen is visible, just like the images above.  2. I clicked on the word “webcam” on the blue bar at the bottom of the Honorlock screen which opened up an image of myself so that I can see my webcam angle.  I will keep this image open throughout the exam. By selecting TRUE you are confirming that you have completed these steps.  (If you do not see a small picture of yourself on the screen, please stop and follow the instructions above.  Your webcam must be in the correct position showing you, your hands and keyboard and the FRONT of your computer screen before you can proceed).

A primary care NP is preparing to prescribe a macrolide antibiotic for CAP in a patient who is on a number of other medications, some of which are metabolized by CYP3A4. The patient is also very concerned about potential GI-related adverse effects, as they say they are very sensitive to antibiotics. Which macrolide antibiotic should the NP prescribe?  

You are conducting a “sweat trial” on a soccer athlete in the heat. His body weight prior to practice was 170 lbs. His body weight immediately following practice was 167 lbs. He consumed 2 cups (16 oz) of water during the 2 hour practice with no bathroom breaks. 1. How much weight was lost and what is the fluid equivalent to compensate for that weight loss? 2. What is the actual fluid need for this athlete to 100% maintain hydration status during a 2 hour practice? 3. Is this a reasonable amount of fluid to consume? Why or why not. What recommendations would you make? 

My external camera is set up to the side so that my whole head, face, both hands and workspace – including my keyboard, mouse and the front of my computer screen are clearly visible, just like the images above.    To verify that my camera angle is correct, I clicked ‘webcam’ in the blue bar below to open a small window displaying my external camera view (as shown in the image above). I will keep this small window open during my exam to ensure my camera angle stays properly positioned. If you did not open your external camera window, please do so now. Do you need to adjust and correct your camera angle? Please do so now. By proceeding, you confirm that you understand that not positioning your external camera as per the given instructions and requirements will result in a 0 on the exam.

Which criterion of qualitative trustworthiness ensures that the findings are based on the data provided by participants rather than solely on the researcher’s preferences or biases (the qualitative analog to objectivity)? Select the one correct answer. 

Your company must purchase a new injection molding machine, and you are considering two types: the Dixon and the Sterling. The Dixon will last 5 years; the Sterling will last 7 years. The cash flows associated with purchase, operation, maintenance and insurance are listed below (note that they are all cash outflows): Year Dixon Sterling 0 -$150000 -$200000 1 -$38000 -$38000 2 -$38000 -$38000 3 -$38000 -$38000 4 -$38000 -$38000 5 -$38000 -$38000 6 -$38000 7 -$38000 Assume your WACC is 11%/year. By how much do the EAAs (also known as the EACs) of the two machines differ? Express your answer as a positive number, rounded to the nearest dollar.

Review the detailed description of the study provided below. Which of the following best describes the risk of bias in this study? Select the one correct answer.  This study employed a qualitative design to explore the lived experiences of nurses during the implementation of telehealth services at a single rural outpatient clinic. A purposive sampling strategy was used to recruit 15 professional nurses (RNs and LPNs) who had been actively involved in telehealth consultations for at least three months. While the clinic serves a rural population with specific staffing structures, further details regarding the specific demographic makeup of the staff and the socioeconomic profile of the patient population were not recorded in the primary dataset.  Data were collected through semi-structured, one-on-one interviews lasting approximately 45–60 minutes. The interview guide focused on: a) initial perceptions of telehealth technology, b) perceived barriers and facilitators to patient care, and c) changes in nursing workflow and professional roles. The research team utilized thematic analysis to identify, analyze, and report patterns within the data. Transcripts were read multiple times for overall immersion. Initial codes were generated from the raw text. Codes were clustered into potential themes and sub-themes. Themes were reviewed against the coded extracts and the entire data set.  To ensure the integrity of the findings, the following quality control measures were implemented: a) a detailed record was maintained to document all coding decisions and the evolution of the thematic framework (i.e. audit trail), b) the authors utilized reflexive journaling throughout the study to identify and mitigate personal biases or preconceptions regarding telehealth, c) regular meetings were held with a non-participating qualitative researcher to validate interpretations and ensure findings were grounded in the data, and d) upon completion of the preliminary analysis, participants were invited to review the identified themes. All 15 nurses confirmed that the themes accurately reflected their professional experiences.  

A firm plans to issue preferred stock with a dividend of $6.50 per year. The shares will be sold to new shareholders at a price of $90.  What is the firm’s cost of preferred stock? Express your answer as a percentage to two decimal places. For example, 12.34 percent would be 12.34.

A researcher wants to measure college students’ stress levels. Students are shown a 10-centimeter horizontal line labeled “No Stress at All (0)” on the left and “Extreme Stress (100)” on the right. They are instructed to place a mark anywhere along the line to indicate their current stress level. Which type of rating scale is being used?
