“Creating a Data Flow Diagram for Course Registration and Payment Process” “Designing a Data Flow Diagram for a Business System”
Overview
A data flow diagram (DFD) shows how information flows within an
information system. A DFD is a representation of the data flow and does
not imply the activity order. A DFD is a model of a real-world business
system represented through a hierarchy of abstracts through leveling.
Lower levels of a DFD reflect more detail, and higher levels of a DFD
reflect less detail. A logical system diagram describes the business
events that take place and the data required for each business event,
focusing on what information is flowing and what information is
transmitted. A DFD will not go into technical (hardware and software)
aspects of the system; it will show inputs and outputs from external
sources, showing the path of data and how it flows through the system.
Prompt
For this activity, you need to create a data flow diagram reflective of the following:
Your experience registering for a course and then following the process through payment (or using financial aid).
Access course catalog
Review course options
Select course to register for
Complete registration
Pay for course
Your DFD must include the listed processes and at least two
subprocesses (levels) within two of the five main processes. Your
diagram can reflect up to three levels: zero (the context diagram), one
(subprocess), and two (functionality). The various levels of detail are:
Level zero: Represents the overview of the entire system you are critiquing
Level one: Breaks down the main functions of the system into smaller subprocesses
Level two: Further breaks down subprocesses of level one
Use the symbols from the Gane and Sarson symbol set needed to illustrate data flow within your diagram:
External entity = Square ⬜
Data flow = Arrow →
Process = Rounded square ▢
Data stored = Rectangle ▭
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Data Flow Diagram: Your diagram must be completed
without any missing components. It needs to show how information flows
within a system process. Remember: only DATA flows on data flows.
Hierarchical Leveling: Whether your diagram has one
or three levels, it needs to illustrate how each level is broken down
into smaller business events.
Data Flow Notation: Your diagram should include
accurate and appropriate data flow notation. Whenever you are referring
to a process, use a rounded square symbol. Whenever you are referring to
data that is being stored, use a rectangle. It depends on the business
process, but you may or may not have to use all Gane and Sarson symbols.
Logical System Functionality: Your diagram also needs to illustrate how business events are broken down into smaller subprocesses.
What to Submit
Upload a .doc, .pdf, or .jpeg file of your diagram. You can use a
tool of your choice to help you create the data flow diagram, but we
recommend using Lucidchart, draw.io, or Microsoft Visio.

proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may
include correcting inaccurate symbols to show the part of the data flow
(e.g., using a square to show a process instead of using a rounded
square) Does not attempt criterion 15
Logical System Functionality Exceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative manner Designs a diagram that shows business events broken down into subprocesses Shows progress toward
proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may

Title: Critical Care Management of a 63-Year-Old Man with Acute Abdominal Pain: A Case Study
Situation
A 63-year-old man, accompanied by his wife, goes to the emergency room of a small rural hospital in a Canadian province because of a dull to sharp pain in the region of the epigastrium that crosses to the back. The pain lasts for several days and is accompanied by nausea and vomiting. It becomes more and more intense, frequent and acute. The nurse on call in the emergency room installs the patient on a stretcher in the treatment room. She collects data, performs a physical assessment from head to toe, and proceeds with sanctioned prescriptions according to abdominal complaint protocols. She takes the necessary blood for the tests, then prepares the patient for an intravenous tube.
Relevant data from the patient’s history
1) Recent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (5 days) performed in a hospital 300 km. The surgeon indicates to have made a small «gash» to the pancreas. According to the wife, a purulent discharge came from the site when the nurse removed the drain before dischare.
2) Presence of Guilbert’s disease since the patient’s adolescence.
3) Regular alcohol consumption (makes own wine).
On physical examination, the nurse finds: • T = 38.6 C (oral) P = 113 bpm R = 24 TA = 98/52 Sa02 = 91% room air.
• Decreased bowel sounds, tympanism and abdominal pain with defensive reaction to palpation. • Some crackling at the base of the lungs. • Moist, pale skin. • Slight confusion, lethargy and drowsiness.
Answer the following questions
1. What should the critical care nurse do if she is to act without the direct supervision of the physician?
2. Describe the blood tests to include in the patient profile for clinical investigation, especially the most important.
3. Identify three intravenous solutions that can be infused without compromising patient health.
4. What is likely the cause of the patient’s condition?
5. What are the next steps?
6. Which of Watson’s (1988) carat factors would be a priority in this case? Select a single carat factor. Justi fi ez the care to be provided according to the theory of Watson (1988).
