Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive heart failure (CHF) can affect adults and children. It occurs when the heart is no longer able to maintain the pumping needs of the body. For patient over the age of 65, 10% of those individuals suffer from CHF. After being diagnosed with CHF, management can be difficult for patients, causing frequent readmissions into the hospital setting. Heart failure can occur on either side of the heart, right or left. Management and clinical manifestations depend on the location of the weakened heart (Huether & McCance, 2017, p. 632).
Pathophysiology
Congestive heart failure occurs after the heart muscle is weakened, which can happen with high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, myocarditis, and cardiomyopathy to name a few. Each of these disease processes affects the heart a little differently. High blood pressure weakens the heart by stretching out the heart muscle too much. This can result in a poor pumping action of the heart along with stiffened heart muscles. When the heart gets high amounts of fluids running through the heart vessels it is unable to pump like a healthy heart because it is being asked to work too hard. Removal of the fluid becomes necessary (Huether & McCance, 2017, p. 632).
Coronary artery disease (CAD) weakens the heart when extra plaque builds up in the heart’s vessels. The vessels become less pliable, blood flow is decreased, and heart failure results. Myocarditis is commonly caused by a virus that leads to an inflamed heart. This inflammation results in left sided heart failure. Cardiomyopathy is when their is damage to the heart muscle, which could be from a disease process, infection, or even substance abuse. As you can see, several medical conditions can cause congestive heart failure. Some causes are more preventable than others. It is important to know the root cause when selecting treatment methods (Huether & McCance, 2017, p. 632).
Pharmacological Treatment
Symptom management is essential for patients with CHF. Management is usually dependent on several medication classes. Furthermore, medication compliance is essential for patients with CHF. Diuretic therapy is often utilized when the heart is no longer able to adequately pump and fluid congestion has set in. Common examples include, Furosemide, Bumetanide, and Chlorothiazide. The goal is to allow the heart to pump as effectively as possible and this is accomplished through fluid removal of the vascular system (The American Heart Association, 2018; Yayla et al., 2015).
Overtime, a patient’s heart vessels become stretched when high fluid volumes are present. When this happens, medications are needed for the heart to have an effective pump. Medications utilized are angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, such as Lisinopril and Enalapril, and beta blockers, such Carvedilol and Metroprolol succinate (The American Heart Associaton, 2018).
Pediatrics
The pathophysiological process of heart for children is similar to adults. It often occurs as a result of cardiomyopathies, dysrhythmias, or electrolyte imbalances. Left sided heart failure is more often seen, which leads to pulmonary hypertension and venous congestion. Children usually experience shortness of breathe, retractable breathing, a high respiratory rate, sweating, and nasal flaring. Weight gain, ascites, and peripheral edema are often seen when children are experiencing venous congestion. Diagnostic measures include a chest x-ray, laboratory testing, and monitoring of symptoms. Treatment is focused on reducing the work of the heart. Fluid removal is accomplished with the help of diuretics. In severe cases, surgery is needed or even a heart transplant (Huether & McCance, 2017, p. 666).
Patient Education
As mentioned above, patients with CHF often face frequent hospital readmissions. Patient education is essential as the patient prepares to go home. The discharge process truly starts at the beginning of the patient’s admission. For example, by educating the patient on day one about their medications, he or she is more likely to remember the medications when they go home because they will have been educated on their purpose and function each time they are receiving the medication. Visual aids can also help the patient remember what they taking and why they are taking it. Furthermore, nurses are encouraged to use teach-back educational methods when working with patients. It allows the patient to actively participate in their education and helps the nurse gage what they truly know. By using teach back methods, research has shown the hospital readmissions have decreased when consistently utilized (Aimkuist, 2017).

Question 1For 2006, the price of a single ticket in the infield box at an Atlanta Braves baseball game was $35. The effective value of a season pass for the same seat was $2,735, but the buyer was only charged $2,241. Season ticket buyers were rewarded with:promotional allowancesnoncumulative quantity discountsfrequent buyer discountsfunctional discountscumulative quantity discounts4 points Question 2Shipping fresh-cut flowers to international buyers can be risky because of price changes during the time required for shipment, expense incurred over long distances, and quality of product delivered. To minimize risks and costs, a seller would likely employ:freight absorption pricinguniform delivered pricingzone pricingbasing-point pricingFOB origin pricing4 points Question 3American Girl CatalogThe American Girl catalog began as a concept to introduce girls who lived in the past to today’s girls. Each historically accurate doll is carefully crafted and dressed and has books to describe her life. For example, Kristen is an 1854 pioneer girl who is growing up in Minnesota. Her story begins with her long sea voyage from Sweden. The basic doll dressed in a calico dress and striped apron and the hardcover story of how she got to Minnesota cost $90. Six more hardback books of Kristen’s life are available for $80. Kristen’s nightgown costs $20, and a matching one for the doll owner is an additional $40. Buy both together and the price is only $50. A hand-painted wooden bed and trunk for Kristen are available for $220. Shipping costs vary with the price of the merchandise ordered and are not connected to weight or distance.Refer to American Girl Catalog. When a customer buys the matching nightgown set for the doll and her owner, American Girl priced the items using:price bundlingmarkdown pricingpsychological pricingpenetration pricingstatus quo pricing4 points Question 4The DCS Stainless Steel Gas Grill for outside cooking costs $3,995.

There is no potential competitor for this grill. The _____ strategy is probably best.price-skimmingpenetration pricingstatus quocost bundlingprice-lining4 points Question 5When Microsoft introduced its Windows NT network operating system, it gave buyers free Web-server software. At the same time, Netscape was trying to sell similar Web-server software for $4,999. Once Microsoft got a lion’s share of the market, and Netscape’s market share declined substantially, Microsoft began charging an above-market price for its Web-server software. Many people thought Microsoft was guilty of:predatory pricingunfair trade practiceschannel manipulation pricingprice fixingprice discrimination4 points Question 6For which of the following situations would a price-skimming strategy be most appropriate?the addition of a new comic book series with an obviously gay herothe introduction of a new brand of bottled waterthe elimination of demand for low wattage light bulbsthe introduction of a unique, roomy automobile model that has extremely low energy and fuel coststhe introduction of a Barbie Olympic champion doll by Mattel and the International Olympic Committee4 points Question 7The Grand Slam Ticket Pack of Major League Baseball’s Atlanta Braves provides four game tickets, four hotdogs, four Coca-Colas, four Braves bucket caps, one game program, and parking at prices as low as $59. This price is significantly lower than the items could be purchased individually and means the Braves are using:price liningtwo-part pricingprice maintenanceprice bundlingprice bracketing4 points Question 8Green Earth Marketing sells containers for temporary storage of recyclables nationally through its catalog. The company wants to simplify pricing and reduce its risk. Green Earth also desires some type of difference in price due to distance.

She only makes and sells three types of jams–pecan pie jam, chocolate pie jam, and lemon tart jam. The costs of leasing her professional kitchen for manufacturing, travel to craft shows, insurance, and so on are allocated on an equal basis to the three types of jam sold. In other words these costs are:derived costselastic costsjoint costsrevenue impedimentssynergistic costs4 points Question 10For centuries, businesses used negotiations and bartering as a matter of routine. The Industrial Age saw the emergence of mass production and extended distribution chains, which made face-to-face negotiations with each customer impractical. Fixed prices became necessary to manage the enormous growth in both the volume and the variety of products, distributed over larger geographic regions. The advent of the Internet and electronic commerce has greatly affected the way businesses price their goods and services and has allowed for the use of more _____, a form of customized pricing.zoning (or basing) pricingillegal price fixingprice maintenancepsychological (or odd-even) pricingflexible (or variable) pricing4 points Question 11K&G Restaurant Supplies sells paper products and commodity items like flour to for-profit businesses. It charges a substantially lower price to companies that operate multiple locations such as a restaurant chain. It charges a higher price to small or independent operations because they are less profitable customers. K&G Restaurant Supplies is engaging in:unfair trade practicesprice fixingprice discriminationpredatory pricingbait pricing4 points Question 12Jones Soda Company and Big Sky Brands have introduced Jones Soda Carbonated Candy, a candy that delivers a blast of the most popular Jones Soda flavors along with an oddly enjoyable tongue-tingling sensation.

Top executives at Continental had expected its no-frills operation to break even within a year of its inception, but the airline fell short of the goal. A source close to the company explained it by saying, “Its costs were too high, and its revenues were too low.” Some observers criticized Continental’s marketing efforts. When the no-frills service was first launched, it lacked a distinct name or identity, missing its chance to make a splash. Then Continental tried to sell three “brands” at once–Lite, a new premium service, and its more traditional long-haul domestic flights. As one rival expressed it, “You cannot be all things to all people.”Refer to Continental Lite. The statement that Continental Lite had problems because “Its costs were too high, and its revenues were too low,” suggests that the airline had no _____ left over after paying for airline activities.ROIrevenueprofitreturnsCOGS4 points Question 23Specialty CakesImagine you’re planning an after-symphony fund-raising party, and you need a life-size grand piano cake. Or, you are a developer proposing a new shopping center to a group of investors, and you want to serve a cake shaped like an architectural rendition of the center. Is this impossible? No, you just need to contact Cecilia Villaveces Cakes. She actually built a life-size grand piano for a gala in Macon, Georgia. You can expect to pay anywhere from $75 to $10,000 for one of Cecilia’s artistic creations, depending on complexity of design and size. She uses only the best ingredients, and no two cakes are ever quite alike.Refer to Specialty Cakes. Many party planners in the Southeast will only use Cecilia Villaveces Cakes at their parties–no matter what the price is. They know that Cecilia’s cakes can make a party a success.

Pellerin, the author of, How NASA Builds Teams: Mission Critical Soft Skills for Scientists, Engineers, and Project Teams, came to Montreal to lead a one-day workshop based on his book. This event was organised with the sponsorship of the PMI-Montreal chapter.This was a very enlightening day. Charles used his own personal ill-fated story, as the project director for the launch of the Hubble telescope, to get us to travel with him on his journey to the discovery of true leadership. This journey not only got him to redeem himself through an officially ‘unauthorised’ 60M US$ fix mission to get astronauts to repair the telescope, but also got him to better understand the root of true leadership and design a system to make it happen. This is this system he talks about in his book. This is the system he is now applying as a consultant to NASA teams with radical performance improvements, thoroughly documented, scientifically measured…and all generously and clearly explained to us for our own usage in his amazing book.His leadership competency model is based on two continuums axes: the Emotional- Logical decision making process continuum and the Intuited-Sensed data preference continuum. Out of the reunion of those two continuums emerge four types of leaders, which are basically characterised as follows: ? The cultivating Emotional-Intuitive leader (green): great at giving gratitude, s/he is a people-builder who cares deeply about human beings and creates strong loyalty; the ultimate coach for large very complex projects.? The including Emotional-Sensing leader (yellow): great at making you feel included as a part of the greatest whole, s/he is a team-builder who develops harmonious teams and can mobilise and get the most difficult people to work as a team; the ultimate marketer for large complex projects.? The visioning Logical-Intuitive leader (blue): mastering reality-based optimism and living through complete commitment, s/he is an idea-builder, fond of creative ideas and demanding excellence; the ultimate innovator that can lead research and early phase projects…but might get stuck there.Prepared by: A/Prof Nalin Sharda Moderated by: Dr Sihui (Sue) ZhouMN601 Network Project Management 2019 T1 MN601 Assignment-1 MEL SYD V1.4 3 of 4 ? The directing Logical-Sensing leader (orange): organiser in chief, s/he is a system-builder, highly disciplined, well organised and using reliable processes; the ultimate project ‘deliverer and closer’ in hard times, putting the task first and meeting the objectives ruthlessly. Charles goes on, in his book and in his workshops, explaining that the most effective project leaders are those that can lead through their emotions, the ‘green’ and the ‘yellow’ ones, because project management is all about teamwork and human relationships, all about journeying together towards a better place for all stakeholders. He also says that, although emotion-driven leaders can always compensate for less logical abilities, by finding good ‘blue’ and ‘orange’ team collaborators, the reverse is not possible. So, ultimately, in order to become a very effective project leader, one who does not have innate emotion-driven leadership will have to develop the necessary genuine ‘gratifying’ and ‘including’ behaviours to succeed, and be able to handle effectively larger, more complex project teams.Charles has been using assessments of these leadership competencies to measure leaders’ and teams’ profiles and behaviours along the two continuums. He has also designed programmes to get teams in NASA and elsewhere to improve their profiles, behaviours and, subsequently, performance in delivering outstanding projects.I wrote above that Charles Pellerin was very generous in the material he shares in his fabulous book. He is also very generous on his website, How NASA Builds Teams. If you go there and register, you’ll get access to some of his presentation PowerPoints. You will also be able to make a free assessment of your individual leadership style as well as a free assessment of your team profile. And, if ever Charles gets to your town for a workshop, just go have a journey into project leadership with him. This man, innately a ‘blue’ Logical-Sensing guy, has succeeded his transformation into a gratifying, very including man, who will lead you to a better self and coach you to awaken the great project leader you were born to be.
