Document Summary

The environment around me: my roommate s wake up early and accomplished more assignments than i do. One of my roommates is in the same major as i am. Therefore, notice that she gets 8 hours of sleep and gets more of our classes assignments done on the weekends than i do. After attempting to not over sleep for 8 hours and record my findings helped me out so much with this behavior. I always wanted to not over sleep however i never attempted to not over sleep. So, knowing that i have an activity due for this class, i took advantage to improve my sleeping behavior. My goal was simple, sleep only for 8 hours during the weekends. Since, doing the weekdays i sleep for only 8 hours. The reason i sleep more on weekends is due to the fact that i have no classes to attend.

Case study:

Kathleen is a 5'6", 130-pound, 20-year-old college junior. Over the last few years she has gained and

then lost ten to fifteen pounds several times. Recently she has been trying hard to keep her weight down.

Like many college students, Kathleen goes out every weekend and tends to overindulge. During the week

she lives the life of a serious student, eating very little and getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night. By

Friday she is ready to have some fun. She usually goes out with friends to a nearby burger or taco shop

and then finds a party. At the party Kathleen will have four or five drinks and munch on chips or pretzels.

By 3 a.m., when she and her friends are ready to call it a night, they usually are hungry again. This

means finding pizza, waffles, or any other food they can find at that hour of the morning. After a late night

out, Saturdays are spent catching up on some sorely needed sleep. By Saturday night she is ready to go

out and do it all over again. Sundays are usually spent relaxing at a hearty Sunday brunch, watching

movies with her friends accompanied by a giant bowl of popcorn, and finishing homework that's due

Monday morning.

Kathleen realizes that her weekend binges may cause her to gain weight, so she cuts way down on

calories Monday through Thursday. Kathleen has been trying to stay active and build up some muscle

mass by running. Recently, her strict dieting is making this more difficult. During the week Kathleen eats

so little that she often feels weak or lightheaded, especially following her long-distance runs. Although she

is running a great deal, her muscles are not getting as large as she had hoped. On Mondays and

Tuesdays her diet is very hard to stick to. Kathleen is always starving. However, by the end of the week

she no longer feels so hungry. Kathleen also notices that she has a much harder time paying attention, is

sensitive to the cold temperatures, and finds it all too easy to catch a cold or flu.

For a while she was able to overcome this and still go out on the weekends, but she is starting to feel that

it is not worth being so miserable during the week, no matter how much fun her weekends may be.

Kathleen knows she is putting her body through a lot of stress, but needs someone to explain what is

happening as she experiences the consequences of a weekly roller coaster ride from feasting to fasting.

Answer the following as a RDN

1. a) Over the weekend, I eat a lot of more food compared to the weekdays. How does my body

handle all of that extra calories? (Discuss the body's reaction to excess carbohydrate, protein,

and fat.)

b.) On the weekends, I like to go out drinking with my friends. Is that really going to affect my

health? (1. Explain alcohol's effects on the liver, both short term and long term 2. Explain the

long-term consequences of Kathleen's eating pattern and alcohol consumption on her vitamin

status )

c.) During the week when I donât eat a lot, what is my body running on for fuel? (During periods

of fasting, how are metabolic fuels used differently compared to their use with a healthy,

consistent diet? Describe some of the negative effects associated with this.)

d.) How is this fuel different when I am eating a lot over the weekend? (During periods of

feasting, how are metabolic fuels used differently compared to their use with a healthy,

consistent diet?)

âHello, I am Lillian Tudor, and I was married to my high school sweetheart, Earl, for 53 wonderful years. He died 2 years ago and I miss him to this day. Earl and I had three children, two of whom passed before Earl. Our oldest daughter, Leigh, is still helping me around the house and is a blessing to me in my old age. Let me tell you something. Getting old ainât for sissies! Iâm 84 years old as of last month. Leigh had the family meet at a buffet restaurant in town for a surprise party! It was nice to see the grandkids, because they donât stop by often enough with their busy lives. Lynn, the oldest, has a great husband and two kids with more energy than what seems humanly possible. Leigh complains that they are too loud, but I think everyone else talks too softly these days! In fact, when Leigh comes over to take me to the doctor, sheâs always telling me my television is too loud. âI have a lot of doctors who I see. Thereâs one for my heart and blood pressure who says my cholesterol is too high and wants me to start a new medicine. Another one is for the diabetes, which makes me use those stupid syringes to take insulin. And the last one is for trying to help me with my stiff knees and sore joints. Like I said, getting old ainât for a sissy! Did I mention the adult briefs I wear to help with my bladder leakage? Itâs those dang water pills that I take to keep my feet from swelling so badly. All in all, itâs not a bad life.â In addition to what Lillian has told you, here is a list of her current medications. Captopril 25 mg, three times a day Alprazolam (Xanax) 0.5 mg, by mouth as needed for anxiety Insulin lispro (Humalog) 7 units subcutaneous TID, 15 minutes before meals Tramadol for arthritis pain Furosemide 40 mg, twice per day Ciprofloxacin 250 mg every 12 hours Pilocarpine eye drops, two drops each eye, four times a day Lasix 60 mg, once per day in the morning Select one medication and answer the following questions. If this was a medication order, do you have enough information to safely administer the medication? Please explain your answer and provide the missing information, if any. What is the medicationâs classification? Does it have any special considerations about which the nurse should be aware? Why is Lillian taking this medication? If you are unsure based on the information youâve been given thus far, list common reasons for this medication to be given. Does this medication present any possible adverse interactions with the other medications Lillian is taking? For your first post this week, select one medication and answer all four questions from above.

Economics is nothing more than the study of scarcity and choice. It's called the Economizing Problem.

Economics is also the study of human action---why people make the choices they do.

We have finite (limited) resources and infinite (unlimited) demand for goods and services. We must, therefore, use rational decisions as to how to allocate these resources so that we can produce the goods and services that satisfy as many needs and wants as possible.

Needs are those things that make life possible---food, clothing, shelter, etc. Wants are the things that make life easier---glass in windows, carpet on the floor, a refrigerator to keep your beer cold, etc.

The resources we are trying to use wisely are not confined to money. We are talking about talent, ability, drive, ambition, etc. We can't all be brain surgeons. Nor would most of us want to be. We have different needs and wants that drive our ambitions. I have 5 grandchildren. The oldest two are twins---a boy and a girl. My granddaughter graduated from Idaho University with a bachelor's and a master's degree in accounting in 5 years. She passed the CPA exam on the first try. She now lives in Panama and works for BMW. She speaks, reads, and writes 4 languages, including English. Her brother finally graduated from the University of Arkansas in May 2016 after 8 years! Why did it happen this way?? They were raised the same way by the same parents. Why was my granddaughter drove to succeed and my grandson so listless?

Then there is subjective valuation and opportunity cost. Opportunity cost is nothing more than what you have to give up to do something else. Some of you might have to roll out of the bar or the party a little before you wanted to leave just to be able to attend my class. You might also have to give up some precious sleep. In any event, you had to give up something to attend my class. That's the opportunity cost. Remember, everything you do has a price (opportunity cost) that must be paid according to Harry Browne who wrote, How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World.) To do one thing you must give up the opportunity to do something else.

When people decide to buy a product or service they must decide if it will satisfy a need or want at a price they are willing to pay. The number one reason that people buy the products or services they do is called Personal Tastes or Preferences (Subjective valuation). Everyone has a different price they are willing to pay for the same product or service. Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. That's a subjective valuation. Each of us has a different intensity of demand for the same products. Things you want I may not care for at all, and the opposite may also be true. This is why there is such a variety of goods and services offered on the market.

Subjective valuation is also fluid. As your income goes either up or down it changes your valuation of products and services. Have you ever wanted something so bad you would do almost anything to get it---an i phone or I pad?---but once you get the money you think, "do I really want this?' and you don't buy it. This is common. If it were not for a subjective valuation we would all be wearing the same style and color clothes and living in similar houses, etc. Wouldn't that be a wonderful world! I'd find the tallest building in downtown Orlando and see if I could fly! It is not the similarity in people that interests me. It's the differences. It's my desire not to be like everyone else that has driven my life. Don't strive to be someone else. Strive to find and be yourself. God save me from a terminal case of conventional wisdom!

There are 5 embedded questions.

Give me an example of subjective valuation.
