Essays on Exercise

When anthropologists write about events that happen on the field or about a particular society, they would provide as much information as possible on the written text. From the example in Geertz’ essay about Cohen and the Berbers and how he was able to get his ar in the form of a large number of sheep (Geertz, 8), the reader learned who the robbers and rebels were, what ar was, how was it taken, what the political situation was at that time with the French officials, and what the punishments were in those times. Geertz mentioned that the event ...

The Virtual Labs using the Windows Server 2008 R2 is a good experience. I felt in control while using the Virtual Labs, in other words it is designed in a very contemporary way and coupled with the R2 there was no uncomfortable wait counting down in seconds after clicking on a choice. Some of the reviews have called this feeling when using the application as having a ‘tighter feel.’ I did some exploring of what was online in other parts of the Virtual Lab.

I did not stop to shrink the view so that I could see the entirety ...

Like any other business organization, the medical sector has a system of ethics which refers to moral principles that determine principles and rulings regarding the practice of medicine. Medical ethics as a scholarly discipline involves practical applications of the clinical atmosphere as well as application of the principles of philosophy, sociology and theology. This follows that fact that it is important to do right by the superior being, by the established societal morals and what is individually right. For this reason, persons seeking medical assistance (patients) have a right to enjoy their personal freedom while at the same time ...

Abstract

In a private practice setting, systems theory terminology can be used to illustrate the process by which patients are treated, particularly in terms of organizing of scheduled appointments. One of the biggest problems in my current practice with the appointment-setting system is that the existing software is incredibly antiquated. This leads to many different inefficiencies, ranging from miscommunicated details about the patient’s condition to trouble with the actual scheduling of appointments themselves. Given this information, I would address the problem using systems theory to devise a more effective appointment-scheduling system. The desired outcome for the new system ...

What is the interaction between personal freedom and infringement of people’s liberty? Well, in order to understand this association, it is important to go back in time. Personal freedom is based on the maxim of liberty, and this was envisaged by early philosophers such as John Stuart Mill. The maxim of individual liberty envisions that individuals have the freedom of choice and make decisions without any restrictions. Most western democracies have taken measures to safeguard personal freedom as a fundamental right, and this has seen the protection of personal freedom by most constitutions in the world. ...

Theory, Research and Evidence Based Practice

Evidence based Practice (EBP) is the practice of using evidence drawn from scientifically rigorous studies to make decisions. There are various theories and models used in research for EBP. The most interesting theory to me is the Self-care Deficit Nursing Theory. This is because the theory recognizes the need for self-care and treats patients as equal partners in the delivery of quality health services.

Self-care is important in the management of chronic diseases and in disease prevention in primary care and therefore plays central role in modern day nursing practice. The self-care deficit theory was advanced by Dorothea Orem ...

Introduction

Nursing research falls under two comprehensive worldviews. These are naturalistic paradigm and positivist paradigm, which have reality assumptions and world views that oppose each other. For instance, regarding to the reality, naturalistic paradigm have multiple realities, which changes continually hence make it very hard to measure whereas the positivists believe in existence of a single reality that can essentially me measured.

The two crucial categories of research methods are thus qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative research in most cases aligns itself with naturalistic paradigm while quantitative research aligns with positivist paradigm. Qualitative research is more subjective, informal, and an inductive ...

In this class I have learned that eating healthy does not necessarily mean consuming less calories, skipping specific food groups, or skipping whole meals; but rather, eating healthy means consuming all types of foods in a balanced way. What surprised me most was that healthy eating actually means consuming many calories, but they have to be beneficial; they cannot be so called “empty calories.” ...

My earliest memory of listening to and enjoying music was when I was traveling in my father’s car to visit my grandmother at the age of three or four. My father was a teenager in the early sixties, and he liked to revisit the popular rock n’ roll of that time.

Events that led to the separation of consulting firms from auditing firms

The widespread concerns over the practice of providing auditing and consulting services by a firm to the same client are largely due to the need to curb conflict of interest among other reasons. Audit independence is apparently a necessity that defines the integrity of financial reporting. This and other factors have led to the split of consulting firms from auditing firms into two independent businesses operating in separate business environments. This is evidenced by the Enron case, and the general trend being experienced in the industry as ...

The origins of the definition of cognitive artifacts, comes from the roles they play in human learning, decision making and understanding: artifacts augment, influence or communicate these aspects. The term “artifact” refers to an object that is manmade. As such, cognitive artifacts are physical artificial devices designed by man to serve a specific purpose, by facilitating thinking, evaluation, as well as stimulate consequent actions or responses. The term itself (“Cognitive Artifacts”) was actually coined by Donald Norman, in reference to artificial devices designed to affect human behavior, through displaying, maintaining and operating upon information while serving a representational function. ...

Ethical problems abound in the health care environment. Health care administrators often encounter a dilemma when working in an environment which may not be favorable to the full practice of ethical decision making (Malloch & Porter-O’Grady, 2009). Issues relating to cost-cutting, patient safety, quality care and employee welfare also highlight dilemmas involving the ethical principles of autonomy, justice, beneficence and nonmaleficence (Morrison, 2011). The ACHE code of ethics is a standard which advocates a systematic process for self reflection founded on theory with the goal of assisting health care administrators in making the right decisions (Ethics self-assessment, 2012).

Hypothetically, evidence and theory are alike. However, they are not the same in practice. Evidence-based practice has acquired eminence over most theoretical techniques in a number of fields, particularly in the sphere of health care. Both practices share the mutual objective of making the correct decisions and finding the most efficient solution for an identified difficulty. However, the two practices posses some underlying philosophical distinctions (Gilles, 1998).

Estimates show that, in the U.S., about 41,000 cases of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) occur in hospitals each year (CDC, 2014). CLABSI is a preventable complication that lengthens the hospital stay and increases the cost of care. It is a cause of patients’ lost productivity and undue suffering. Since 2008, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) has also refused to reimburse CLABSI-related care. The negative implications for the patient and the organization call for prevention using evidence-based practice (EBP). Accessing the hub of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) is a common source of infection (Moureau, 2010). ...
