Influenza is a disease caused by a virus that is passed from person to person through exposure to fluid droplets that contain the virus. Thus, the majority of transmission is caused by physically being coughed or sneezed upon or coming in contact with a surface shortly after it had been coughed or sneezed upon (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2008). Symptoms of influenza infection include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle aches, headaches, and fatigue. The one universal symptom of influenza is the fever (CDC, 2011).

Arguably, in the past decades researchers have established program modes and intervention strategies that will help in promoting social development, as well as reducing juvenile delinquent behaviors.

Perhaps, it costs the city a lot of dollars to prosecute, arrest, treat and incarcerate juvenile offenders. Hence, the use of delinquency-prevention programs saves a lot of taxpayers’ money, which is ...

One such incident recently happened in Jeddah, particularly in the year 2009, when heavy rains caused an extensive damage to the city.

In this regard, this paper will perform an analysis of the said 2009 ...

Introduction

The safety and wellbeing of children has been a concern worldwide. Different strategies and approaches initiated and implemented by various nations and institutions yielded results that were below the expectations. This forced the stakeholders in children affairs to rethink on the avenues they previously employed. For instance, in 1990 the United States Advisory Board on Child Abuse and Neglect recommended for the change of the country’s child protection system after observing it did very little to assure the children their welfare in the contemporary society. Kimbrough-Melton and Campbell (2008) found that,

Stone Formation in the Kidney/ Role of Citrate in the Kidneys

Kidney stones are calcified or solidified molecules taking place in the upper urinary tract and the kidney. Kidney stones are usually composed of calcium as oxalate, phosphate, or carbonate. Stone formation in the kidney happens when the amount of mineral salts in the urine becomes saturated, during which the mineral will automatically crystallize (Rao et al., 2011). Stone formation is further facilitated by increasing amount of calcium in urine and dehydration. High levels of calcium in urine can indicate kidney disorder, prolonged incapacitation, hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid, excessive intake of milk or aluminum and vitamin D. Stone formation in ...

Notably, childhood asthma is one of the diseases responsible for deaths of children in the United States. A major point to note in this scenario is that without the proper medical care to children, possibilities of comorbidities from this infection are likely to be high (Lenney, 2012). In most cases, families that have got weak financial muscle power usually find challenges accessing the required medical care for their children who are struggling with the condition. As such, there is the need for state and federal programs to be put in place in order to address this condition with the ...

Nutrition is an indispensable component of care. It is from food intake that the body obtains the micro and macro nutrients needed to maintain and improve health.

Care plans focused on nutrition necessarily must be individualized to take into account unique needs arising from specific medical conditions, the client’s developmental stage, and cultural preferences. Developing a care plan entails evaluating for nutritional risk, defining the goals of nutrition therapy, identifying interventions and expected outcomes, implementing the interventions, providing education, and promoting safety.

Interagency Collaboration

Interagency Collaboration
As the adage goes ‘Unity is Strength,’ so is the situation on the ground as far as crime detection and prevention are concerned. The notion of collaboration and cooperation by all the stakeholders in maintaining sanity, law and order in the affected areas has been very effective and efficient. These two concepts of collaboration and cooperation are well informed by the need to involve the very persons affected by the problem of insecurity and the menace of drug peddling and trafficking. These concepts, therefore, involve a scenario whereby several agencies come and work together towards accomplishing the ...

According to the article, most of the theories are unfounded, as they cannot be measured empirically. The article argues that shamefully, the world of criminology has not been able to explain the reasons behind the notable drop ...

Pediatric Case Study

Part I. Cultural and Family Assessment

Culture and family are oftentimes neglected during patient assessment, especially when the person is viewed only in terms of disease, causes and treatment.

In nursing theory, Callista Roy and Madeleine Leininger refer to culture as a belief system, a worldview through which the patient perceives health, care, nursing and the world in general (George, 2011). It is transmitted from one generation to the next through interaction in social institutions such as the family, school and ...

Acute abdominal ache can be grouped in multiple procedures. The most regular procedure is by splitting the sources into two major categories; nonsurgical pain versus surgical, and extra abdominal versus intra-abdominal causes. A range of conditions, which vary from self-limited and benign ailment to surgical crises, might generate acute abdominal ache. An optimal tactic to detect the rationale for abdominal ache should depend on the probability of complaints, disease, and other aspects of laboratory tests, patient history, imaging studies, and findings on bodily examination (Adams, 2013). The biliary ailment is the top course for acute gastric surgery amid the ...
