Trauma Critical Thinkings Samples For Students

What happens within the body when a person sustains a concussion?

A concussion is a form of a brain or head injury arising from a direct or indirect hit on the head or body. When an individual sustains an injury, the brain suddenly shifts or shakes inside the body to the extent that it may even knock against the surface of the skull (Mann, 2011). This is as a result of a hard hit which accelerates or decelerates the brain within the skull. A hard hit has a lot of force which may even cause rotational injury. This involves the twisting of the brain and shearing off of the brain nerve fibres. Immediately after a concussion, brain ...

Summary of the Article

In the article Numbers and Costs of Occupational Injury and Illness in Low-Wage Occupations, the author Leigh (2012) described the findings of a study that aimed to address the problem of what the costs of occupational injury and illness are within low-wage occupations, and which of the said occupations contribute most to those costs.
The determination of the solution to this problem would provide public health administrators -- or the government in general – with information on the costs being incurred for injuries and diseases, which in turn would enable them to efficiently allocate healthcare resources. Moreover, by ...

Overview of Abdomen

The abdomen is assessed using inspection, auscultation and palpation (White 2005). The abdomen is inspected for size and symmetry and is normally rounded, symmetric, protuberant, and soft because of weak abdominal musculature with a slightly greater diameter above the umbilicus than below. The subcutaneous blood vessels in the abdomen may appear distended and blue (Williams & Wilkins 2006).

Abdominal assessment is complex, largely because of the many vital organs and blood vessels within the cavity of abdomen and its life-sustaining functions, such as digestion and elimination that are performed here (Weber & Kelley 2009). The abdomen houses the several body ...

Neuro-functional pathways and Implications of Different Traumas

The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a syndrome, which may develop after traumatic experiences like hostilities, physical trauma, or sexual abuse. This disorder presupposes the emotional material, which person processes. Among the main symptoms of PTSD are the difficulties in managing current thoughts, inability to concentrate, and traumatic intrusions. The neuro-functional pathway of PTSD goes through the media-frontal cortex and the amygdala and processes traumatic material which causes frontoparietal changes in saving of information. The medial frontal lobe is responsible for functioning of working memory and the amygdala regulates negative emotions. As a result, the patient continuously repeats traumatic episodes in ...

Corporal punishment has been practiced in human society since the civilizations of the ancient world, but corporal punishment is not an effective long-term strategy for modifying human behavior because it can cause developmental issues and behavioral issues in all stages of lifespan development. Corporal punishment is a significant issue for children and adolescents because they are mainly the targets of physical abuse at home or in school under the assumption that it will result in reducing misbehavior.
Three types of corporal punishment include parental corporal punishment, school corporal punishment, and judicial corporal punishment. Other than the death penalty, judicial ...

While this crime has happened decades ago, it still haunts the minds of investigators, experts, and historians. The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the mysteries that has remained unraveled until these days. Myriads of conspiracy theories linking together the CIA, FBI, KGB, Cuba, and Lyndon B. Johnson, were the result of, as experts admitted, an ambiguous and negligent official report. The assassination of JFK was particularly sudden and shocking for the American people, which required a close and meticulous examination. On November, 1963 President of the U.S. Lyndon B. Johnson has created a special commission for ...

Warehouses are structures that serve as storage areas for goods. The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) estimated that over 145,000 people are employed in more than 7,000 warehouses across the U.S. (OSHA, 2010). There are aspects of the warehouse environment that present health and safety hazards including layout, floors, noise, heating, housekeeping, and fire. However, proactively managing these hazards reduce the risk for injury. The warehouse must be assessed for existing health and safety risks to identify appropriate interventions.

Sexual assault is one of the most demeaning acts any individual can go through. According to Kaitlynn’s experience, sexual assault is psychologically damaging in several way.

It is an ascertained fact that adolescence, that is typically associated with the teenage years, is a transitional state during which an individual is likely to experience numerous psychological and social issues which may lead to crisis situations.

Q1.
Paine uses the term “material injuries” to refer to British exploitation of American resources. According to Paine the Great Britain enriched itself through commercial activities in America. The continent provided both goods and market for trade. Therefore, they had to protect their commercial interest from other competing powers such as France and Spain who also had an interest in American resources. The argument about material injuries has got both merits and weaknesses. The British was exploiting American resources for their own benefits. The exploitation did not benefit the Americans who were the owners of resources and also ...

They have been a myriad of theorists that have developed theories on cognitive learning stages and human development. Among those theorists have been Erik Erikson, Abraham Maslow, and Jean Piaget. Each of these theorists have had an imperative impact on the way we view cognitive development and physical growth. Some of them focused more on how we interact with others and develop through relationships with individuals as we progress through life. While others, focused on cognitive development that is innately inherited through birth giving us a foundation of which to build upon. Erik Erikson, for example, based his theories ...

It must be mentioned that “not everyone who works in the sex trade is a victim” (Alter & Tsai, 2015).

Types of Memory
Traditionally, there are three types of memory defined: short-term memory (STM), long-term memory (LTM) and working memory (WM). Hebb defines the short-term as the mechanism of continuous reverberation of stimuli and information in cellar systems and as a result neurons excite one another for some time after the original stimulus (Nadel and Hardt, 2010, 253). In other words, STM is an ability to hold information about the stimuli for the brief period. If this reverberatory activity leads to restructuring of synaptic connections, the long-term memory appears. LTM is an ability of human brain to storage the ...

In the discipline of nursing, professional advancement and development models are often used as frameworks for recognizing and acknowledging nurses’ clinical expertise, especially the nurses who provide direct care to patients (Gentile, 2012). Most of the earlier models revolved around the tasks that nurses were expected to become familiar with and master as their careers progressed. However, subsequent models went beyond the element of tasks and incorporated elements of leadership, continues education and reflective practice (Gentile, 2012). One of these models is Benner’s Novice to Expert model. This model applies the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition and describes ...

The art story tells of creating paintings or sculptures of mass culture, and their aim of the pop art movement was to remove any confusion and lines between high art and low culture. The concept is that there is no hierarchy in the cultures and that art can borrow from any culture regardless of their most influential characteristics. It could be said that while abstract artists looked for trauma for the soul, the pop artists looked to express the same trauma through cartoons, and imagery at large. It is true to suggest that pop artists were among the first ...

The U.S. Department of Commerce refers to these types of discriminations as “REGARDS” denoting race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, disability and sexual orientation in its report of Best Practices in Achieving Workforce Diversity. These dimensions do not cover lack of intelligence, height or physical attractiveness though it is now illegal ...

Figurative and literal language is a distinction in traditional systems for analyzing language. Figurative language refers to words or expressions which alter the conventional meaning of the component words. On the other hand, literal language refers to the original meaning or words which convey exactly what they mean. English language is at times considered as the most difficult language to learn due to the use of figurative language. This paper will define and give examples of different types of figurative language with their appropriate usage. The examples of figurative words are idioms, amphibole, metaphors, analogies, euphemisms, cliché among others.

Perceptual process

Perceptual process is a sequence of steps that begins with the atmosphere and leads to an individual’s perception of a stimulus and an action in response to the stimulus. It is a continuous process but does not need one to spend a great deal of his or her time thinking about the actual process that happens when one perceives the many stimuli that surrounds one at a particular period (Rock, 2007). Thus in my case, it can be seen that I am currently unable to drive on any interstate as I usually undergo panic attacks when I drive on it. The option that ...

A common feature of most of Ernest Hemingway’s books is his use of a hero character. More specifically, there is usually two types of hero: a code hero and a Hemingway hero. The latter is usually a young character who has plenty to learn about life and its trials, whereas the former is usually older and has a greater level of life experience and frequently acts in a mentoring-style role to the younger Hemingway hero (Tyler 29). These dual types of heroes are presented throughout his body of works and in particular, the character Nick Adams who featured in a number of ‘episodes’ written by ...

Chapter Review – Critical Thinking

In this chapter, the author talks about the conditions that might bring about what people sometimes consider an extraterrestrial experience. He begins it with talking about having his own extraterrestrial abduction experience – he does this through recounting a time when he was incredibly sleep deprived in a marathon. As a result of this deprivation, he started to hallucinate things, including the notion that his support crew members were extraterrestrials. The reason he talks about this experience is to highlight the possibility for these highly detailed, committed and convincing alien abduction stories to be false.

I found this chapter highly interesting – the author ...
