Write an assessment to address the following problems/questions:

1.     Assess how diversification benefits the investor. Can you imagine circumstances where an investor would not want to diversify? Discuss why or why not.

2.     Analyze the formulation of the Capital Asset Pricing Model including the definition of the model with identification of each component. Explain how the CAPM development effectively makes use of the diversification as a foundation for the development of the model. Discuss the uses of the Capital Asset Pricing Model within finance.

3.     Develop the Capital Asset Pricing Model using the assumptions that the risk free rate is 4%, the expected return on the market is 10% and the relevant beta is 1.25.

4.     Given problem 3, develop the alternative solutions presented within a table for the assumptions that the beta is 1.15, 1.25, and 1.35 as well as the assumption that the risk free rate is 3%, 4% and 5%.

5.     Develop a valuation model for a common stock assuming the most recent dividend per share of the company is $2.0, the assumed growth rate is 5%. The risk free rate is 6% with an expected return on the market of 12% and a beta of 1.5. Show each step in generating the resulting valuation.

6.     Given your analysis in question 5 above, form a able showing all combinations for the model with the growth rate at 3%, 5% and 7% and the beta at 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5.  Explain why the results that you generate are sensible for the pricing the common stock in the market

Central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI) is a major contributor to in-hospital morbidity and mortality and is linked with increased expenditure and length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay. The incidence of CLABSI is more in the ICUs due to emergency catheter placement, longer duration and repeated manipulation for sampling, administration of drugs and fluids, the additional confounding factors being chronic illness, old age, sepsis and immunosuppression (Atilla et al., 2016). My proposed solution of addressing this problem is nursing and patient education. Among the health care workers, nurses have the most direct and continuous role in handling CVCs, being involved with both insertion assistance and maintenance of central lines. Thus, they have a unique opportunity to contribute towards preventing these infections.Bedside nurses have the responsibility to implement the right interventions to prevent them. Appropriate training and education in central line management can go a long way in preventing this problem. Nurses are in a unique position to prevent CLABSIs across the health care spectrum. It would not be an overstretch to say that CLABSI prevention is completely a nursing responsibility. Let us consider the current health care scenario: the nursing scope of practice has increased vastly over the past decade and our profession continues to gain significance (Atilla et al., 2016).Educating the patients and families on the best practices of central line care and infection prevention is the responsibility of nursing staff. Making patients and caregivers partners in therapy by creating educational materials in simple language will help motivate adult learners to assimilate the knowledge (Patel et al., 2019). An interactive nurse-led demonstration accompanied by an illustrated guide to best practices of central line management ensure compliance to strict infection prevention practices. Again, this responsibility of educating patients falls on nurses, and patient education is a powerful tool to prevent CLABSIs (Patel et al., 2019). My current perspective was attributed by the fact that education empowers the patient and gives them ownership of their own care and condition.ReferencesAtilla, A., Doğanay, Z., Çelik, H.

Monica Bullock    4 posts   Re: Topic 2 DQ 2  After learning about evidenced based practice in the work place and nursing practice I feel like my organization is making an effort to shift nursing practice. In dialysis a patient is complicated and they come in with many co morbities. On top of disease they come with many life issues such as no housing, minimal insurance, and a fixed income. In order for a dialysis patient to have a good patient outcome the staff must work as an interdisciplinary team to ensure success (Desai, 2008). Many practices in dialysis are based on evidenced based practice, for example fluid management and access care. I feel like my organization does a good job in educating staff about practices and changes in practice. Knowledge is list as one of the top reasons to effectively incorporate evidence into clinical practice (Garner, 2016). We have a lot of online training, but it would be helpful to have more continued education in person with our educators. I see the efforts of incorporating evidence based practice, but the struggle is the time to read and look over the information provided. On a typical day there is minimal down time making it difficult to do the online training and reading the information provided for the topic. On days off the information is not accessible, not saying that anyone would want to look at work related stuff on their days off. Allowing may be off the floor time to read and study the materials would be beneficial.  Gardner, J. K., Kanaskie, M. L., Knehans, A. C., Salisbury, S., Doheny, K. K., & Schirm, V. (2016).

please respond to the following discussion which requires one peer-reviewed Nursing journal reference from database not the internet.

The Healthcare system is a very complex industry which provides many different job opportunities for people. Ranging from construction workers, maintenance, advertisement, technology specialist, business, and of course patient care jobs just to name a few. Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital was established in 1992. It embraces a patient and family-center care. The vision focuses on providing families with the tools they need to care for their loved being that’s ill. Incorporating families in the care of the patient not only provides an opportunity for them physical involvement in their care but allows them to heal spiritually and mentally. It focuses on the emotional vulnerability of the patient and families. Medical emergencies are often terrifying for children and their families.  Families have the option of being present with their children during these difficult times. Giving families these options even during a code/resuscitation of their young loved one gives them a sense of control of the situation. Allowing families to stay even in the Intensive Care Units during these times truly heals minds, bodies and souls. The compassion and care giving of these healthcare providers is endless. Nurses can not only connect but to teach families on a day to day basis in regard to their loved one illness. Health education and health promotion could help avoid future illnesses.  

            This hospital truly captivates the community. It constantly provides many ways to show the community how much they support these families in times of need and the children as they go through their illness. Many volunteer services are offered, as well as many different programs that help promote health in the community. Families are not turned away for not being able to help, and with the help of the Conine Clubhouse families are able to stay close to their loved one free of charge. The hospital has created many positions within their organization to successfully implement this type of care for their pediatric patients. This organization truly abides to their mission and vision.
