Read the Disclosure Strategy case (see attached) and respond to the following questions:

1. Why do corporations provide quarterly earnings announcements and host earnings conference calls, if not required to do so by the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC)?

2. Describe the practice of selective disclosure and how it could be used to potentially mislead investors and other users of financial information.

3. Assess CEO Trey Prescotts selective disclosure plan for LEXM Corporations third-quarter earnings release. Identify the benefits and risks of implementing this disclosure plan. Do the benefits outweigh the risks?

4. The IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practices overarching ethical principles are honesty, fairness, objectivity, and responsibility. Nick is a CMA (Certified Management Accountant) and a member of IMA, and he is required to abide by these ethical principles. If Nick decides to support and implement the CEOs proposed selective disclosure strategy, how might he be violating each of the ethical principles?

5. How can CFO Nick Alexander resolve the ethical conflict in this case, when the individuals involved are held to different sets of ethical standards?

Part I:

 Have you ever applied for a grant for scholarship work?

I have never applied for a grant for scholarship work. This week I learned about the opportunities to receive support from various organizations that fund scientific work in healthcare. One of the primary motivators in the world to perform research work is having financial support. Funding innovative projects saved the Australian government 23.4 billion dollars (D’Arriettatta et al., 2022).

  Do you have a scholarship project idea that needs grant funding?

 In my community, there is an outbreak of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among the younger populations. I have an idea to go to the local high schools and talk to the students about the risks and complications of contracting these diseases. Among the links provided in this discussion post, no grant is available specifically for my proposed project. Still, since my community demographic is primarily Hispanic and black African American, I could base my request on the need for racial and ethnic health equality. Unfortunately, this issue affects everyone regardless of background. The current literature does not address STDs appropriately and should be revised (Shannon & Klausner, 2018).

Part II

 PICOT: For pregnant patients, during weeks 38-40 of gestation, does screening for depression with the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale, compared to current practice (postpartum period only), impact earlier identification and referrals to counseling in 8-10 weeks?

By now, the intervention is part of the workflow of the office. Patients are returning to their postpartum visits and are aware of their risk for postpartum depression. The staff routinely assesses the patients without complications. Week 8 for this session NR707 will be the seventh week of implementation, and week 1 for NR 709 will be the eighth and final week for the intervention. During week 2 of NR 709, I will collect the post-data and evaluate the results.  

Kindly,

Danay Sosa

• Double-spaced
• References and in-text citations should align with

After exploring the content for this module, you should be ready to discuss the topics at a deeper level with your classmates. In order to understand the physiological basis for vaccines, we must first begin by studying the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems and how they participate in host immune defenses.

Instructions

   1. Describe the anatomical locations of major organs in the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems.
   2. Differentiate how blood flow is different from lymph flow.
   3. Describe the homeostatic mechanisms that create a microbiota free environment in blood and lymph.
   4. Trace the path of the vaccine through the body and describe how it reaches all parts of the body via blood and lymphatic vessels.

Your Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) has asked you to fix this high turnover problem.

Question 1: Describe specific staff development strategies the Nurse Leader can employ to identify the educational needs of these newly hired nurses.

Question 2: Apply Knowles Adult Learning Theory and determine the best educational methods of orienting newly hired nursing staff.
