Exercise 2 (30 points)

Ann and Bob are in an Italian restaurant. The owner offers them a free pizza under the following

condition. Each player must simultaneously announce how much of pizza (in terms of percentages)

they would like. That is, each players announces one number from the interval [0, 100] where 0

means no pizza and 100 means the whole pizza.

Let sA and sB denote the strategy of Ann and Bob, respectively.

1

• If sA +sB ≤ 100, then the players receive their demands (and the owners eats any leftovers).

In this case, Ann gets sA (and sA is her utility) and Bob gets sB (and sB is his utility).

• If sA + sB > 100, then the players get nothing. In this case, make an assumption that the

utility of each player is zero.

Assume that a player cares only about how much pizza she/he individually consumes. That is,

Ann does not care how much pizza Bob gets and Bob does not care about how much pizza Ann

gets. Also, assume that each player wants to have as much pizza as possible.

a) (15 points) Depict best-response correspondences of Ann and Bob.

b) (15 points) Find all (pure strategy) Nash equilibria. Hint: You may want to rely on graphical

analysis.

Exercise 3 (40 points)

Two students – Ann and Bob – simultaneously download music over the campus computer network.

Let si ≥ 0 represent the total size of student i’s music download, which student i chooses on his/her

own. The more data being downloaded, the slower the network functions. The total time it takes

for student i’s songs to download depends on both the size of his/her download, and on the total

amount of data that the network has to deliver.

Each student benefits from the size of his/her music download but is hurt by the time spent

waiting for the music download to finish. In particular, we assume that the total amount of time

it takes for player i to download his/her music is given by ci(sA, sB) = si(sA + sB); this is a cost

function of player i. At the same time, player i enjoys benefit si. Hence, the utility function of

player i is described by the following equation.

ui(sA, sB) = si − si(sA + sB)

a) (30 points) Depict best-response correspondences of Ann and Bob.

b) (10 points) Find all (pure strategy) Nash equilibria.

Topic: (nursing)research the chinese culture then write an essay of 1000 words on caring for a patient frm this culture

student undergoing your practical rotation at one of the leading hospitals in Perth. Your Clinical Supervisor has asked you to research the culture of a patient you are providing care for.
Mr. Kim Seng Lim, a 75 year old Chinese man, has been admitted to the hospital complaining of chest pains. He migrated from Singapore to Australia, after the death of his wife. Mr. Lim lives in Perth with his son and family
In this assessment, students are asked to research the Chinese culture. Write an essay of 1000 words on caring for a patient from this particular culture. Students are advised to use the lecture notes as a guide. Please be mindful that the lecture notes cannot be used as a reference. It is most important for students to highlight what a health professional must take into account for caring for the patient in the hospital. Consider the following: • How this cultural group understands life processes; • How this cultural group defines health and illness; • What this cultural group does to maintain wellness; • What this cultural group believes to be the causes of illness; • How do traditional healers cure and care for members of this cultural group and • How the cultural background of the nurse influences the way in which care is delivered.

Clinical and Administrative Information Systems

/in /by

Health care organizations utilize a diversity of information systems to support and enhance the delivery of care to their patients. Although the specific types of information systems used vary by health care setting, the organizational activities supported by these systems fall broadly into two areas of functionality—clinical and administrative.

Search the Internet and find two health care information system vendors that offer one of the clinical information systems found on page 115 in Hebda and Czar (will be uploaded). Also find two health care information system vendors that offer one of the administrative information systems found on page 115 in Hebda and Czar.

1) Write a 2-page paper in which you compare and contrast the functions and features of each clinical system vendor’s product. If given the opportunity, which product would a clinical user choose? Why?
2) Write a 2-page paper in which you compare and contrast the functions and features of each administrative system vendor’s product. If given the opportunity, which product would an administrative user choose? Why?
