cloud computing can reduce the total cost of computing and enhance “green computing

1)  Many believe that cloud computing can reduce the total cost of computing and enhance “green computing” (environmental friendly). Why do you believe this to be correct? If you disagree, please explain why?2)  According to recent surveys, China, India, and the Philippines are the three most popular countries for IT outsourcing. Write a short paper (2-4 paragraphs) explaining what the appeal would be for US companies to outsource IT functions to these countries. You may discuss cost, labor pool, language, or possibly government support as your reasons. There are many other reasons you may choose to highlight in your paper. Be sure to use your own words.3)  IEEE802.1x

What do you think are some effective tactics for APN strategic positioning regarding pay equality? Should APNs position themselves as lower-cost providers who provide better care or push for comparable worth, same service and same pay?

Differential diagnoses and pediatrics

In this discussion, you will need to begin to explore your future role as a masters-prepared nurse and consider potential differential diagnoses for a child after reading a brief scenario.Please answer the following:1. What are the priority areas of concern for the masters-prepared nurse to consider in reviewing the individual’s diagnostic test results?2. What are the usual treatment options for individuals suffering from his condition based on the potential differential diagnoses?Explain your rationale for your choices, citing resources from the literature.John, a four-year-old boy, is being admitted to your unit for further treatment, management, and confirmation of diagnostic test results. His most recent complete blood count revealed a total white blood count of 250,000/µL. John has loss of appetite, is easily bruised, has gums that bleed frequently, and has marked fatigue. The physical exam reveals that he has splenomegaly, pale skin color, an oral temperature of 102°F, and some upper abdomen tenderness.3. What would you expect the patient to look like? What are the risks associated with the medical and nursing interventions? What are your plans to address these potential risk factors as a master’s-prepared nurse?

Be objective, clear, and concise.It is important to support what you say with relevant citations in the APA format from both the course materials and outside resources.AB Discussion:Week 6 DiscussionAmong outpatient orthopedic postoperative patients (18-85 years of age) (P), can the implementation of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol (I), compared to the absence of a standardized postoperative pain management protocol (C), improve acute pain control, reduce the incidence of opioid-related adverse effects, and promote positive patient outcomes (O) over a period of 3 months (T)?Research SynthesisEnhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been used across multiple surgical fields to improve post-operative outcomes and effectively control pain while minimizing the risk of secondary complications. Recently, more research has demonstrated the validity of ERAS in the field of orthopedic surgery. Cui et al. (2019) and Jiang et al. (2019) found a correlation between the implementation of an ERAS protocol and favorable post-operative outcomes compared to the use of conventional care pathways. Hu et al. (2019) echoed these findings with its systematic review bolstering the applicability of ERAS following orthopedic surgery. Emerging themes among these studies included enhanced patient recovery, reduced reliance on opioid pain medication, decreased incidence of postoperative complications, and adequate pain control (Hu et al., 2019). Although the evidence supporting the role of ERAS in orthopedics is apparent, unique patient needs and variations in orthopedic surgery expectations should be considered. The improvement of surgical outcomes while mitigating postoperative pain should be a primary focus of all health care systems, and ERAS has succeeded in meeting this objective (Cui et al., 2019).ReferencesCui, H., Sun, Z., Ruan, J., Yu, Y., & Fan, C.

Be objective, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language.It is important to support what you say with relevant citations in the APA format from both the course materials and outside resources.JA Discussion:Week 6 DiscussionPICOT question: Are obese adults in America (P), more successful at losing weight with a medical intervention such as taking phentermine (I), compared to no medical intervention such as diet and exercise alone (C), at achieving and maintaining a healthy weight (O), over 12 months (T).SynthesisHall & Kahan (2018), determined through their research study that weight loss can be achieved through a variety of modalities, but long-term maintenance of lost weight is much more challenging. Obesity interventions typically result in early rapid weight loss followed by a weight plateau and progressive regain. This research showed understanding of the biological, behavioral, and environmental factors driving this weight loss and weight regain trajectory, and the implications for long-term weight management. (Hall & Kahan, 2018). Nicklas et al. (2019), similarly found that weight loss maintenance is difficult to achieve. A substantial proportion of obese U.S. adults who attempt to lose weight reported weight loss, at least in the short term. Obese adults were more likely to report achieving meaningful weight loss if they ate less fat, exercised more, used prescription weight loss medications, or participated in commercial weight loss programs (Nicklas et al., 2019). Both articles found that the treatment for obesity requires ongoing clinical attention and weight maintenance-specific counseling to support sustainable healthful behaviors and positive weight regulation.ReferencesHall, K.
