The Case Scenario

Recent clinical evidence-based guidelines suggest that a “watch and see” approach may be best in the management of pediatric acute otitis media. In this case scenario,
a team of nurses in the outpatient clinic are considering whether they should use this approach to manage AOM in the children they see.

Management

In any organization and business, the employees or workforce serve as the life-blood. They run the company and keep it functioning. In a Dental Clinic, for example, this is in line with the service industry. It requires it employee (no matter what level, whether they be the main dentist or the staffs) to practice good customer-orientation and professionalism. If I would be given the chance to run a clinic myself, I need to ensure that my employees practice the mentioned significant values in order for my business to cater and meet the demands of the market.

Perioperative evaluation is an important interaction between a patient and a physician where the physician carefully and accurately where the physician accesses the overall health status and determines the risk against the procedure. In Cleveland clinic the process is complicated and time consuming and in emergency settings, it becomes extremely difficult and often assessments are made last minute. Lack of informatics in this clinic preoperative evaluation endangers patients and creates large inefficiencies. For these reasons, the need for enhanced informatics is needed in order to create and enhance best practices throughout the perioperative phases of patient care.

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), a disease that affects over 33 million people around the world. When HIV enters the body, it attacks the immune system by destroying CD4 positive (CD4+) T cells, a type of white blood cell necessary to fight off infections, and it also kills off nearby cells with toxic byproducts. Eventually, it overwhelms the immune system's ability to fix itself (AEGIS, 2012). When HIV/AIDS first showed up in the United States, it mostly affected homosexual men. Now, though, it’s clear that anyone of any age, race, gender, ...

It has taken women a long and tough journey to achieve their rights.

All these changes came due to efforts of very dedicated women who never gave up the struggle. Struggle for changes ...

Cuts for Medicaid are a feature of the current administration’s efforts to reduce the budget deficit based on the rationale that spending for health entitlement programs will stretch the federal budget beyond its limits. This is because increased longevity is raising the number of the aged population while a rise in the poor is increasing the number of those eligible (Abramsky, 2011). Budget cuts mean that some services would need to go. As a manager of a county clinic servicing Medicaid clients, it is my job to make the decisions as to which services would be eliminated. Optimal decisions must be based ...

Classical Conditioning

Classical conditioning is the association of an automatic reaction with a neutral occurrence. For example, a music might develop sadness for the reason that it reminds us of old buddies whom we don't see any longer. In that case, the automatic reaction of sadness is linked to a neutral occurrence. The automatic response is known as an Unconditioned Response because there's no need for us to understand or be informed to feel sad if we don't see buddies whom we want to be with. The Unconditioned Stimulation is getting divided from individuals that we want to be with us, ...

Increased social problems have led to many cases that need to be addressed by psychologists. For instance, in schools there are increased cases of students’ violence that have caused riots and other social problems in schools. Cases of sexual abuse have also drastically increased in modern society. Cases of rape are reported on a daily basis in the media just as reflection of moral corruption in the society. All these social problems are causing dilemmas among psychologists who are supposed to help in solving these problems. This paper will therefore analyze some of these dilemmas among the psychologists.
