Chapter 5Case study: Nurses. The text describes implicit functions for the demand and supply of Registered Nurses in a “Findings” box on page 110. With that discussion as a backdrop, I would like for us to estimate a regression that predicts the number of nurses using some characteristics of potential influence. We are not doing an official supply curve, as that would be much more involved.10 points
More detailed directions and comments:With the case study, we will extend our use of econometric to capitalize on the textbook’s use of an “econometric approach”in Figure 5-2 on page 109.Our exercise will use multiple regression,which we haven’t covered yet. Therefore,I extend my tutorial on simple regression (there are 2 resources for this, a video entitled Intro to Regression video for the Econ of Healthcare and a journal tutorial called Intro to Regression video part 2) with another called Multiple Regression Overview.See the excel file entitled Nurses (student), which contains several variables on RNs and LPNs fora single year by state.
1Generate:
1a. Generate a correlation matrix, paying close attention to the interaction between the # of RNs and annual salaries of RNs and the annual salaries of LPNs. Are the signs consistent with the theory presented in the “Findings”box on p. 110?
1b.Estimate a sample, multiple regression equation using the # of RNs as the left-hand side variable and 1) annual salaries of RNs and 2) annual salaries of LPNs on the right-hand side. Arethe signs on the sample slope coefficients, consistent withthe theory presented in the “Findings”box on p. 110?
1c. Try the regression again using hourly wages for each on the right-hand side. Do you see any difference in the signs on the coefficients?
1d. What are some things you would do differently in this exercise if more time and resources were available?
1e. How would you use these results in a practical manner as a hospital manager, health care professional, etc.?

Google “The Agony in the Garden” by El Greco and “The Ecstasy of St. Teresa” by Bernini, and “The Prodigal Son” by Rembrandt and “The Milkmaid” by Vermeer (among other, similar images). Write a comparison/contrast paper that explains how the more religious art of the southern, Catholic areas of Western Europe differs from the more secular work of the artists in the Protestant areas north of the Alps. Notice the complex, visionary religious themes of the Catholic painters and the simple, more domestic piety of the Protestant painters.
Your response should be at least 750 words in length

Write a 2 page paper that addresses the following:
•Describe the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. Be sure to explain the changes in the arterial blood gas patterns during an exacerbation.
•Choose 2 of the 3 factors -genetics, gender or ethnicity and describe how they might impact the pathophysiology of both disorders. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment for a patient based on the factors you selected.
•Construct two mind maps—one for chronic asthma and one for acute asthma exacerbation. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in this paper.

General Description of the Participants
Describe the participants using age, gender, rank, and other measurable qualities relevant to the study and related to the population. If the study is a document analysis, then the documentation is categorized, labeled, and clearly described. Your data should appear as tables coupled to narratives explaining the tables.
Unit of Analysis and Measurement
A unit of analysis is the fundamental component of a scientific research project. The unit of analysis represents the “who or what” you are attempting to study and generalize into broader findings. For example, social sciences and business analysts consider work groups, subgroups, organizations, leaders, individual workers, survey participants, policies, and other agents as units of analysis. You must clearly describe the “who or what” formed the unit of analysis.
The unit of measurement is a little trickier because they rarely are people or agents. Explain the unit of measurement and the initial parameters used to partition the unit into types. For example, if you studied organizational change at Nokia, then the unit of measurement may be the documents and meeting notes forming the chronology of organizational change at Nokia. The parameters would be the categories you derived from literature as to analyze the documents—e.g. changes in salaries, number of project teams, decisions regarding the handling of stock, categories of debt, and other categories deemed useful for understanding the organizational changes at Nokia. Thus, parameters give structure to your unit of measurement and help you make concrete qualitative measurements.
The clearer you define the units of analysis and measure, the more credible your study. Make sure you clearly define both.
Sample Size
Explain how you drew the sample from the population and whether it correctly represented the population. Explain why your sample was large enough and utilized enough participants as to ensure a desired statistical power. You may find https://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/power.php a worthwhile resource while writing.
Data Collection
Illustrate the data collection process, its effectiveness in collecting the needed data, and the use of secondary/archival sources. The reader should understand how data collection “occurred in the field” and be able to compare collection efforts with those described in the methodology section.
