    Managerial Perspective: How does differentiating between p

    Discussion Questions:
    Managerial Perspective: How does differentiating between product and period costs influence decision-making within your concentration? Consider how this impacts resource allocation and strategic planning in your field.
    Example: For Marketing students, distinguishing between product and period costs can greatly influence how marketing campaigns are budgeted and assessed. For instance, advertising expenses are often categorized as period costs, which might downplay their long-term strategic value. Understanding this distinction can help marketing teams more effectively allocate resources and justify budget needs during strategic planning.
    Transparency and Accountability: How does classifying costs this way contribute to transparent and accountable external reporting? What role does this play in supporting strong corporate governance?
    Example: For Marketing professionals, segregating product and period costs can clarify financial statements, ensuring that stakeholders have a transparent view of how resources are allocated for brand-building activities versus operational costs.
    Critical Evaluation: Are there situations where differentiating between product and period costs could be limiting? What are some arguments against strict classification in your focus area?
    Example: Marketing professionals might argue that classifying certain expenses, like extensive market research, as period costs could undervalue their role in product development, leading to reduced investment in critical initiatives.
    Dual-Purpose Accounting: Should internal management of these costs differ from external reporting? If so, how can this be balanced without compromising integrity and compliance?
    Example: From a Marketing perspective, advertising and promotional expenses, categorized as period costs externally, might be prioritized differently internally to focus on long-term brand growth while still ensuring compliance with reporting standards.

    How the Four Principles of Health Care Ethics Improve Patient Care

    Baby Boomers and Beds: A Demographic Challenges for the Ages

    Watch the video Tarik Sammour: Healthcare: Is It a Right or a Luxury?
    According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), the baby boomer generation (individuals born between 1947 and 1964) is a growing percentage of those seeking health care. A monumental problem for long-term care, hospital, renal care, and home health care administrators will be the allocation of resources for the aging population in the U.S. health care delivery system.
    You are the long-term care administrator for Shady Valley, a long-term care, 80 bed, skilled care facility. You and your team—director of nursing, assistant director of nursing, social worker, admissions director, and the business office manager—have the resources and bed space to admit one additional patient. Today the admissions director received three referrals from a local hospital. It is your teams’ job to examine the three referrals and write a recommendation for admission. The recommendation will be sent to the Shady Valley long-term care ethics committee prior to making the admissions decision. (See the following description of the patients.)
    Patient 1: Mary Jones is a retired 65-year-old elementary school teacher. Mary recently fell and broke her hip while shoveling snow at her home. Prior to the accident, she was very independent and did not need help with her activities of daily living (ADLs). She is currently taking one blood pressure medication, one blood thinner medication, and one cholesterol medication. Mary suffered a very mild stroke (TIA) 2 years ago, yet she has not experienced any long-term symptoms from the stroke or a reduction in her ADLs. Recently, Mary received hip surgery and is ready for discharge to a long-term care/skilled care facility to receive physical therapy and then return home. Mary has Medicare as her primary payor source and Blue Cross/Blue Shield as her secondary payor source.
    Patient 2: Donald Smith is a retired 93-year-old coal miner. He currently lives with his son and daughter in-law. Donald enjoys his lifelong passion of bird watching and stamp collecting. He recently fell and ruptured two vertebra disks in his neck (C-6 and C-7). Donald has black lung and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) from working in the coal mine industry and requires 27/7 oxygen therapy. Additionally, he had successful open-heart surgery 5 years ago and a successful hip and knee replacement surgical procedure last year. He currently takes one blood thinner medication, two high blood pressure medications, and one cholesterol medication. Donald has Medicare as a primary payor source and looks forward to returning home after 20-100 days of skilled care at Shady Valley Skilled Care Facility.
    Patient 3: Jane Brown is a retired 72-year-old legal secretary. Jane was recently involved in a car accident and is currently a quadriplegic. She was recently removed from a ventilator and is breathing on her own, she does not currently need a tracheotomy; however, this could be a necessary procedure in the future. Her medication list is vast to include multiple expensive medications. Prior to the accident Jane lived with her husband of 50 years; they have six children and 12 grandchildren that all live in the area. Jane has Medicare as a primary payor source and plans to apply for Medicaid to cover her long-term care expenses. 
    Your initial post should be a minimum of 500 words and include the following:
    Regarding the three patients provided in the scenario, discuss which patient your team would recommend for admission to the organization’s ethics committee and why.
    Discuss what ethical factors your team implemented regarding your decision such as justice, autonomy, beneficence, and nonmaleficence.
    Describe other factors that contributed to your teams ethical decision-making process, such as societal ethical issues, equitable access to care, diversity, equity, and inclusion, affordability, quality of care, and limited resources.
    Lastly, do you feel health care is a right or a privilege?
    Support your response with at least three scholarly sources published within the last 5 years. For guidance, use the Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources resource. You may also use the Writing Center’s APA Style resource.

    Terrorism, Cyber, and Uncrewed Aerial Threats
    Discussion
    Assignment: In-Depth Analysis on Aviation Security Threats
    Task Overview:
    Based on your readings and research on threats from terrorism, cyber incidents, or uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) in the aviation industry, create a one- to three-slide presentation focusing on a specific, real-world incident within one of these threat categories. Your presentation must include original analysis, unique insights, and custom-designed visual elements such as data visualizations, illustrations, or conceptual models. Pre-made graphics or generic templates are not permitted.
    Key Requirements:
    Critical Analysis of a Real-World Incident:
    Select a specific event that exemplifies a threat to the aviation industry:
    Option 1: A terrorist attack or attempted attack targeting aviation.
    Option 2: A cyber-attack impacting airline operations, airport infrastructure, or aviation data systems.
    Option 3: An incident involving uncrewed aerial systems disrupting aviation activities.
    Provide a detailed examination of the incident, including:
    Background: Context and circumstances leading up to the event.
    Impact Assessment: Consequences on aviation safety, operations, and public perception.
    Response and Mitigation: Actions taken to address the threat and prevent future occurrences.
    Creative and Original Visual Presentation:
    Design custom visual elements that effectively convey your analysis. Examples include:
    Graphs or charts illustrating data related to the incident (e.g., timelines, impact metrics).
    Infographics summarizing key aspects of the event and responses.
    Conceptual models depicting the threat mechanism and mitigation strategies.
    Utilize tools suggested in the Media Hub (ERAU) or other approved resources to create these visuals.
    In-Depth Research and APA Citations:
    Incorporate a minimum of three credible sources, properly cited in APA format. These sources must be:
    Current: Published within the last 5 years.
    Authoritative: Including at least one peer-reviewed journal article or official government/industry report.
    Synthesize information in your own words; avoid extensive direct quotations.
    Ethical Use of AI Tools:
    While AI tools may assist in your research process, all analyses, insights, and designs must be your own. Submissions exhibiting generic phrasing or AI-generated visuals without proper engagement will not meet the assignment’s standards.
