1. This problem works through the Slutsky decomposition for a particular price change andsome quasilinear preferences. Suppose a consumer has preferences represented by the utilityfunction u(:1:1, $2) = 31n(:1:1) + 232 and income given by m = 60. (a) Initially, suppose that prices are given by p1 = 2 and p2 = 24. Find the optimal bundle.This is point “A.” (b) Suppose that the price of $1 increases to 4. In the notation we have used, this meansPi = 4. Continue to assume that 102 = 24. Find the optimal bundle at the new prices.This is point “B.” (c) Calculate m’, the income level necessary to compensate the consumer for the increasein prices. It will be exactly enough income to buy the original bundle at the new prices. (d) Find the optimal bundle on the intermediate budget line defined by m’, 103, and p2.This is point “C.” (6) Draw a graph showing all three budget lines (original, intermediate, and new) alongwith the bundles “A,B,” and “C.” You do not need to draw the indifference curves. (f) What are the income and substitution effects of the price change on the quantity of 31?(g) What are the income and substitution effects of the price change on the quantity of $2? 2. A consumer has well—behaved preferences over consumption today, 331, and consumptiontomorrow, $2. The consumer has an endowment igiven by (mhmg): they receive ml inincome today and m2 in income tomorrow. They can borrow money today at interest rate’r: they must pay back (1 + 7′) times the amount tomorrow. They can also save money todaythat will give them (1 + 5") times the amount tomorrow. Assume that ‘r > 0. Is the consumer better off with an endowment of (5, 10), an endowment of (3, 12), or can youtell? Justify your answer. (Hint: focus on the budget constraint to answer this question.) 3. Consider a consumer who has well—behaved preferences over leisure (L) and consumption(3). They have nonlabor income m and have 24 hours in the day that must be dividedbetween leisure and working. They are initially paid a wage to for each hour of work. Theprice of x is 1. (a) Suppose they optimally choose to work 8 hours. Draw the consumer’s budget set andan indifference curve showing this situation. (b) Now suppose that they are paid an overtime wage that is higher than to for each hourworked in excess of 8 hours. (The wage is w for the first 8 hours of work and greaterthan to for any additional hours.) Draw the new budget set and indicate any impactthis has on their choice of hours worked.

Complete 6 page APA formatted essay: The Legality of Risk Management in Healthcare (United States).

Dr. Harris diagnosed the patient with pneumonia and impending respiratory failure. She thought of intubating the patient herself on the floor, but then decided against it and handed over the patient to a pulmonologist and intensivist. The patient suffered intense and seemingly irreversible brain damage. After a few months had elapsed, the relatives of the patient consulted a legal counselor and came to the conclusion that the patient had suffered due to malpractice. Dr. Harris was held accountable. The case was settled by giving compensatory damages to the plaintiff. The end of the paper has an executive summary analyzing the case.

The history of risk management in health care goes as far as four thousand years. The Babylonians were famous for punishing their medical practitioners if they were involved in any malpractice or if their negligence had incurred any physical or metal harm to the ill. The increased incidence of malpractice during the 1970s had a seminal effect on how the legislations that were made regarding health care. Health care providers found themselves in a quandary. The money-intensive lawsuits that had been filed against them was not only a huge financial burden, but also compromised their reputation. They were also faced with the possibility of losing their license. Therefore risk management became all the more important, with agencies using both financial resources and specialized risk management staff to ensure patient safety and higher standard of professional conduct for health care practitioners.

Risk management in health care is defined as the systematic management of administrative and clinical processes to prevent uncertainties and potential dangers and to mitigate the risk of the institution’s exposure to liability if loss occurs. Risk management can come into play in case of mal practice. The Joint Commission (2010) defines mal practice as the “improper or unethical

In the heat of the glowing July afternoon, the room, with blinds carefully closed, was full of a great calm. From the three windows, through the cracks of the old wooden shutters, came only a few scattered sunbeams which, in the midst of the obscurity, made a soft brightness that bathed surrounding objects in a diffused and tender light. It was cool here in comparison with the overpowering heat that was felt outside, under the fierce rays of the sun that blazed upon the front of the house.

Standing before the press which faced the windows, Dr. Pascal was looking for a paper that he had come in search of. With doors wide open, this immense press of carved oak, adorned with strong and handsome mountings of metal, dating from the last century, displayed within its capacious depths an extraordinary collection of papers and manuscripts of all sorts, piled up in confusion and filling every shelf to overflowing. For more than thirty years the doctor had thrown into it every page he wrote, from brief notes to the complete texts of his great works on heredity. Thus it was that his searches here were not always easy. He rummaged patiently among the papers, and when he at last found the one he was looking for, he smiled.

For an instant longer he remained near the bookcase, reading the note by a golden sunbeam that came to him from the middle window. He himself, in this dawnlike light, appeared, with his snow-white hair and beard, strong and vigorous; although he was near sixty, his color was so fresh, his features were so finely cut, his eyes were still so clear, and he had so youthful an air that one might have taken him, in his close-fitting, maroon velvet jacket, for a young man with powdered hair.

Emile Zola creates many contrasts in this scene at the window. Which phrases from the text are in contrast?

It was cool here/overpowering heat that was felt outside

Standing before the press/looking for a paper

Immense press of carved oak/handsome mountings

Not always easy/rummaged patiently
