This project is intended for you to learn and/or strengthen this skill set, demonstrate your command of the course material you have just completed, and to expand your knowledge base.

This research project contains four parts. You’ll research and write about each of the following topics:

Fluid Administration
Emergency Care
Wound Management
Veterinary Periodontics
Although there’s no required minimum or maximum page length, the recommended length is two to three pages per topic. The questions should be thoroughly researched and answered, making sure to avoid straying too far from the stated focus. Use publication search engines such as PubMed to obtain original research papers if you plan to use these to address any of the questions. Consult reliable, and up-to-date reference materials as needed, and appropriate.Part 1. Fluid Administration

For Part 1, discuss intravenous fluid administration in a feline patient. Your research will include

What physical exam parameters you use to assess the hydration status in your patient. You’ll detail the different percentages of dehydration, and the signs you see on examination with each one.
The purpose of each phase of fluid therapy for a female feline patient assumes the following:
The patient isn’t showing any signs of shock.
The cat weighs 8 lbs, is 10% dehydrated, and doesn’t have any vomiting or diarrhea.
Use this information to calculate the fluid rates for each needed phase of fluid therapy for this patient. Be sure to include the formula you’re using, and show each step in the calculation of the fluid rates.
How should you monitor the IV fluid therapy in this patient?
Why is it important to monitor patients receiving IV fluid therapy?
Part 2. Emergency Care

For Part 2, explain how to perform CPR on a Labrador retriever in the veterinary clinic. Your research will include the following

An explanation of what CPR is, and its goal
The steps of veterinary CPR, and how it’s performed in the veterinary clinic
A discussion of the emergency crash cart, and the items that you would use from it during CPR
Part 3. Wound Management

For Part 3, discuss the factors associated with delayed wound healing.

Investigate the primary patient factors and environmental factors that can lead to delayed healing of traumatic wounds in animals.
Choose one patient factor and one environmental factor that contribute to delayed wound healing. Then, discuss the biological basis by which these delay wound healing.
For the factors chosen in #2 above, explain what measures may be taken to limit their impact on wound healing.
Part 4. Veterinary Periodontics

For Part 4, explain why periodontal disease is common in dogs and cats, the main causes, and how some forms of the disease are treated.

What are the steps involved in an extraoral, and intraoral dental examination, and what’s the rationale behind doing an extraoral examination to assess dental disease?
Describe the early stages of periodontal disease, and its pathogenesis.
What are the materials commonly used for surgical intervention in cases of Grade IV periodontal disease, and how these materials help restore health to the periodontal tissue.
Determine the preventive measures that can be used by clients, and how you would educate them in this regard.

First, read the case Week 2 Looking into a Botched IPO (Investment Analysis and Corporate Governance): Can WeWork Survive its Botched IPO?
Pdf. file with this case is posted in Content – Cases for Graded Discussions
Second, answer the following questions. In your initial response to the topic you have to answer all questions:
Can you identify some early red flags in WeWork’s corporate governance structure and leadership? What can startups learn from WeWork’s missteps?
How closely should tech/startup investors examine a company’s long-term revenue plan before investing? Do you see WeWork’s botched IPO as a failure by the company, a failure by investors who had overinflated their initial valuation, or both? What do you think contributed to the inflated valuation in the first place?
Do you think SoftBank’s takeover will be effective? Beyond layoffs, what are some strategies WeWork can implement to recover its losses even as it plans for growth?
Reflection – the students also should include a paragraph in the initial response in their own words, using finance terminology, reflecting on specifically what they learned from the assignment and how they think they could apply what they learned in the workplace or in everyday life.
Please also note that your answers should be written in your own words. Don’t use quotes from the case.

1. During the U.S. colonial period, it was customary to publicly punish common criminals and disobedient children. Why children are treated differently today? Should there be a modern-day equivalent?

2. What is your thought about the idea of holding parents responsible for the delinquent behavior of their adolescents and children?

In your initial post, please respond to the above questions in an essay format, based on the textbook and supplemental readings (juvenile justice history).

Here is the two sources information:
http://www.cjcj.org/education1/juvenile-justice-history.html; you will have to look that source up to get the information.

The concept of childhood began to emerge in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It was during this time that medical advancements brought about a lengthening of the life expectancy of youths. Youths also began to be viewed as different from adults. They were in need of protection, assistance, and guidance in order to grow up uncorrupted by the world. This movement was led by clergy and scholars of the time. These leaders saw the young as a source of attack on the immoral and sinful aspects of society. Youths, who were not yet corrupted, had to be shielded from society and trained for their future role in the world. Children were seen as a catalyst for general social change. Childhood came to be seen as a period of time during which the young could receive an education and moral training without the pressures of adulthood. Accompanying these changes were alterations in how youthful offenders should be disciplined. Responses to misbehavior began to be tailored to fit the age of the offender. In England, youths under the age of seven could not be held responsible for their actions, individuals between 8 and 14 could be held responsible only when it could be shown they understood the consequences of their actions, and youths age 14 and over were considered adults (Empey, 1982). While these types of changes began to recognize the difference between juveniles and adults, the actions taken against offenders remained the same, regardless of the age of the offender.
