this assignment, the student will prepare a PowerPoint presentation and submit it. The student will need to research a legal or ethical case of their choice that is relevant to nursing practice. The student will then prepare and submit 5-7 PowerPoint slides, excluding the title slide and the reference slide. Speaker notes below the slide are required. Your presentation will not be accepted if not present. Your speaker notes should be what you would say if you were giving the presentation. The slides should be bullet points only, not sentences. Citations are required and all references listed should be cited. Your presentation should contain graphics and be easy to read. The PowerPoint presentation will be graded using a rubric. This rubric is available for the student to review. Microsoft PowerPoint is required for this assignment. The PowerPoint should be submitted in pdf. format so that the speaker notes are visible. The PowerPoint will need to include the following: 1. summarize key points of the case 2. present the outcome of the case 3. discuss the implications to nursing practice

In this class, we will review national income and related issues. These will also serve as the basis of other topics we will cover later. In addition to covering determinants of total output/income and its distribution, we will analyze the market for loanable funds. Please study Lecture Note 2 under Course Material” (link: ).

Please answer the following questions and pay careful attention to the instructions.

Question 1: What determines the amount of output an economy produces? Also, describe Cobb-Douglas production functions. Note: In addition to the lecture note, you can also check the following Khan Academy video:

Question 2: Choose one of the government policy changes described below (option 1 or 2 or 3) and analyze its effect on the loanable funds market. In addition to the lecture note, you can also check the following Khan Academy video:

• Option 1: As part of fiscal expansionary policy, suppose there is a massive increase in government spending, e.g., infrastructure spending.
• Option 2: As part of fiscal contractionary policy, suppose there is a massive decrease in government spending.
• Option 3: Suppose a government decides to subsidize more investment, e.g., an investment tax credit.

1. Draw the diagram for the loanable funds model (Please draw by hand or use computer paint or similar software). Assume that the supply curve (national saving) is vertical and does not depend on the interest rate.
2. How does this policy affect the supply and demand for loanable funds? Which curve does it shift? Note: shift only 1 curve (either saving or investment curve).
3. Compare the old and new equilibria. What happens to the equilibrium interest rate?

Instructions:

• Please give a complete answer to each question.
• You can either attach a file or insert an image of your drawing into the message area of the Discussions. Please draw by hand or use computer paint or similar software.
• If you use online sources, you need to properly cite them by providing a link/URL. Besides using the study material and links, please give your own opinion and share your thoughts.
• You must also comment on at least one other students answer: check their answer and provide feedback.
• When the instructor comments and asks you a question, please respond!

Reading/Study Material:

• Lecture Note 2 posted under Course Material.
• Mankiw Textbook: Chapter 3.
• Online sources (link is given above).__

This assignment assesses the following Course Outcomes:

Examine the historical perspectives and current developments in applied behavior analysis and professional practice.

Describe the dimensions of applied behavior analysis.

Apply concepts of cultural competence to become an agent of change.

Through the second half of this course, you have had the opportunity to trace the development of applied behavior analysis from the latter part of the twentieth century to the present. This assignment will offer you the opportunity to examine those developments and how applied behavior analysis continues to evolve while remaining rooted in its foundations in science and the philosophy of behaviorism.

For this assignment, you will provide a long-answer essay response to each of the questions below. For each question, you are encouraged to use the peer-reviewed resources provided throughout the units to support your responses. Please do not copy and paste the whole question into the document. Rather, use APA format section headings to organize your paper, with separate sections for each question. Use the rubric and the assignment prompts as guides to be sure you address all topics.

Please respond to the following:

• Begin the assignment by reading the (Leaf, et al. 2022) article, which describes some recent critical perspectives and misconceptions on the use of ABA to treat individuals with autism and other disabilities: Then, use the knowledge that you have gained from this course to make two arguments.
• In your first argument, explain the usefulness, benefits, and social validity of ABA as an approach to treatment and behavioral development. Be sure to consider the importance of an evidence-based and data-driven approach and the right to effective treatment as described in (Van Houten et al., 1988).
• In your second argument, respond to some of the concerns addressed in this article.
• What are some possible unwanted effects that may be associated with practice of ABA, particularly in its earliest historical use? What are some ways the authors suggest these concerns can be addressed?
• Finally, after considering both arguments, present a supported conclusion on the appropriateness of applied behavior analysis as a socially valid treatment approach to improve quality of life, based on your analysis of the article and related issues. Be sure that you are using your readings and integrating citations to support both arguments.
• Name and briefly describe five recent developments in ABA that were reviewed in the course.
• Explain how the philosophy and practice of ABA has evolved with each development and include a specific example for each.
• Briefly recap each of Baer et al.s (1968) seven dimensions of ABA.
• Choose one recent development that is of most interest to you and be specific about how the development meets the requirement for each of the seven dimensions. Discuss if there are any ways in which the development does not support the dimensions.
• Consider the future of ABA. Based on your readings and analysis, what are some important areas for growth and change?
• Consider the current state of multiculturalism and diversity in practice. Provide a thoughtfully supported prediction of how growth in these areas helps to build relationships to effectively support the goals and practices of applied behavior analysis.
• Analyze ways in which the goals and philosophical assumptions of ABA, as a related set of underpinnings, will allow for continued development and expansion without sacrificing the scientific foundations of ABA.
• In your supported opinion (i.e., using your readings for support), what are some important areas in which ABA should not change?
