Social Norms and Business Protocols Social norms to behave situations. They are largely based on values and are reflected in cultural orientations and societal systems. Before interacting with an unfamiliar target culture, international trade practitioners can benefit from leaming the generally expected behaviours in social and business situations. Present the culture differences between your target country and Canada by answering the following questions: 1 Brief intro of culture of your target country?

One issue within the nursing profession relates to the multiple attempts by nurses to insert a patent intravenous (IV) line. A specific example is a patient who had required a large-bore needle because they needed to receive a blood transfusion.

This patient had received a total of 6 sticks; All attempts were unsuccessful. The issue is the increased number of unsuccessful peripheral intravenous insertion attempts.

To address the issue, a Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, and Time (PICOT) question must be completed (Echevarria & Walker, 2015). In this specific scenario, we are focusing on elderly patients above 65 on a medical-surgical floor. This particular population tends to have fragile veins that quickly blow out.

An intervention can be using an ultrasound-guided machine to identify the location of veins. The comparison intervention will be using no device (Echevarria & Walker, 2015). The outcome is the number of needle sticks required for a successful patent IV site. Time would be the length of time at the hospital (Echevarria & Walker, 2015).

The PICOT question format would be as follows. In patients older than 65 on the medical-surgical unit, how does using an ultrasound-guided IV catheter compared to using no device affect the number of attempts to insert a peripheral IV site within the time frame at the hospital?

Addressing this problem via nursing research can improve patient outcomes. The research will inform nurses if using ultrasonography will decrease the number of unsuccessful sticks. Unsuccessful attempts at intravenous catheters can increase pain and delay treatment (Sengul & Acaroğlu, 2021).

One research study found that ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) had a short duration for the procedure, lowered pain during the process, and increased satisfaction.

However, the article further articulated that there was no significant difference between the number and rates of successful attempts between ultrasound-guided PIVC and traditional methods (Sengul & Acaroğlu, 2021).

It was also reported that all nurses working at the facility had at least five years of experience which may have affected the success rates of the interventions. In the end, it was recommended to use ultrasound to guide PIVC because it decreased the time of the procedure and had a high satisfaction rating (Sengul & Acaroğlu, 2021).

A nursing practice problem in a diagnosis, mainly dealing with how patients react or respond to underlying healthcare problems (NANDA International, n.d). These problems are usually identified when nurses are conducting their assessments concerning conditions patients are suffering from. A nursing problem is mainly concerned with patient needs, from when they seek medical attention to when they leave the hospital. Here, the nurse collects data about the patient, like their health history and the objective data. An example of such a problem is when a patient visits a hospital, and they are diagnosed with cancer. It will be necessary to conduct a physical examination on them to determine the pathophysiology of the disease.

On the other hand, a medical practice problem deals with research on the actual disease. A medical problem will often define the disease process (Nanda International, n.d). Issues like the disease’s epidemiology and how it affects the body can be researched in this area. For example, when a patient visits the hospital, they may be diagnosed with diabetes. Diabetes is the medical problem, whereas showing signs of fatigue, sweating, or increased temperatures shows the patient’s response to the condition, hence a nursing practice problem.

A PICOT question must always be based on the nursing practice problem because it focuses on the patient (Duke University, 2020). An excellent clinical problem should always look into the patient’s needs, as patient needs are at the core of the healthcare sector. This will make the research process much easier and more objective. Using the PICOT approach in defining medical problems gives room for a well-organized clinical question, with practical strategies to manipulate through the item.

International Chemical company located in Buenos, Argentina, recently received a n order for a product it does not normally produce. Since the company has excess production capacity, management is considering accepting the order. In analyzing the decision. The assistant controller is compiling the relevant costs of producing the order. Production of the special order would require 8,000 kilograms o f theolite. Intercontinental does not use theolite for its regular products. But the firm has 8,000 kilograms of chemical on hand from the days when it used theolite regularly. The theolite could be sold to a chemical wholeseller for 14,500 P . The book Value of the theolite is 2-00 P per kilogram. Intercontinental cluld by theolite for 2-40 P per kilogram. (P denotes Peso unit of currency). 1. What is the relevant cost of theolite for the purpose of analyzing the special order decision? 2. Discuss the each of the numbers given in the exercise with regard to its relevance in making the decision.
