People aged 65 and above comprise the majority of casualties from falls (Al-Faisal, 2006). The prevalence of falls rises continuously with age irrespective of gender and racial/ethnic affiliation. As reported by Stevens and colleagues (2010), “each year, about one-third of all older adults fall. In 2007, an estimated 1.9 million fall injuries among persons aged 65 years and older were treated ...

Morality and Abortion

1. Is abortion in any sense a moral question, or is it purely a question of individual rights? One strongly believes that abortion is both, a moral issue, as well as a question of individual rights. According to one’s research, abortion falls within the ethical and moral realm in terms of the curtailment of life of the unborn . Accordingly, the authors asserted that “pro-life activists make the cunning argument that abortion is equivalent to murder, and murder is not ethical. Therefore, abortion is unethical” . However, abortion is also a question of individual rights since the woman carrying the ...

When unpacking poetry, readers should make themselves aware of the multiple denotations words may have, especially words that feel very familiar. Robert Herrick’s “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time” stands as a perfect example of why this practice is crucial in gaining the entire meaning of a poem. After realizing how the words “rosebuds” and “flower” potentially mean more than just their botanical connotations, the reader discovers a deeper understanding of the poem, noticing a shift in the speaker’s audience, the poem’s tone, and the speaker’s character. Ultimately, the poem reveals itself to ...

According to personality theorists, Martin Luther King posses one of the rarest kinds of personality type, the INFJ. This is based on the 16 Myers- Briggs personality type which is labelled as “The Advocate.” The personality type makes up less than one percent (1%) of the human population (16 Personalities, 2017). From the title of personality type itself, it is easy to understand why Martin Luther King falls under this type. But what are the most surprising components of INFJ? First, one of the separating factors of the INFJ personality type is its level of being an introvert. This ...

The main objective of any health care system is to provide patient care with desirable patient outcomes. Simply put, a health care system strives to promote well-being and heath status of all human beings. It is also important to note that most aspects of the healthcare focus on prevention and management of pain among patients because freedom from pain is an essential dimension of health. Additionally, pain among patients is a multidimensional phenomenon that requires a broad, integrated and a comprehensive care model (Glare et al., 2014). Many studies that have been carried out by various scholars on health ...

Reasons for variation in performance rating

In a case where two employees perform the same job, and all of him or her have exemplary ratings, the evaluation team could decide to give one employee a smaller percentage merit because his pay falls within a lower quartile and give another employee a larger merit percentage because his pay falls within a higher quartile. The first quartile consists of individuals who meet minimum qualifications and have no sufficient experience (Kahn & Lange, 2014). This is basically an entry level position where those who are employed require more training to expand their knowledge skills. Due to the nature of ...

If we were to ask 100 people randomly to describe a criminal, most like they will describe the most recent experience they had of a crime or criminal.

Question 1

Types of Nonverbal Communication There are different ways through which individuals can communicate nonverbally. Gestures, physical distance/personal space, facial expressions, and posture are examples of non-verbal communication techniques (Burgoon & Guerrero, 2013). Gestures can be touching behaviors, agreed-on signs, or signs that accompany verbal communication (Burgoon & Guerrero, 2013). Also known as proxemics, maintaining personal space and physical distance when communicating plays a critical role in passing a message. Proxemics also determines the settings and environment under which people communicate, for example, public, social, personal, or intimate spaces (Burgoon & Guerrero, 2013). Facial expressions can be used to communicate happiness, sadness, disappointment, ...

Healthcare organizations face a big problem now when it comes to nurse staffing and scheduling. There appears a big scarcity problem in the number of nurses when assigned per patient. Researches done during the past decades have established the importance of having enough nursing staff or registered nurse staffing as they play a huge role in achieving positive patient outcomes, safety, and satisfaction. This means an adequate nurse to patient ratio promotes reduction in patient mortality, enhances outcomes, and improves nurse satisfaction when it comes to their work. For instance, one study pointed out that for every patient assigned ...

Introduction

Nurses play an integral, challenging, and complex role in the healthcare system. Nurses are considered as the backbone of the complex and diverse system that comprises patients and a multidisciplinary team of experts.

The Impact of the Theory of the Consumer Choice on Demand Curves, Higher Wages and Higher Interest Rates

The theory of consumer behavior shows how the choice is affected by the price of goods, income and preferences, and the way buyers maximize their net gains from the purchase of goods and services. The price change of a good affects the consumer demand structure in two ways. Any change in the price results in the appearance of the income and substitution effects, as it changes the amount of available goods and their relative prices. The above effects are consumer reaction to changes in relative prices and real income (Mankiw, 2014). The substitution effect is the change in the ...

Walt Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs provides an appealing story with various themes and messages. Originally aired in 1937, the film now appears dated; as could be expected, it is rooted in its period. It is culturally important as the globe’s first full-length cartoon, but watching it against the backdrop of today’s society exposes the film’s stereotypes and attitudes towards romantic love. A feminist critique reveals the abusive and superficial nature of romance in the film, whereas an anti-capitalist analysis of the story demonstrates the strong links between money and power. Snow White ...

Hypernatremia and hyponatremia Hypernatremia and hyponatremia are among the most common electrolyte disorders in older people. Hypernatremia is caused by an increase in the concentration of the sodium in extracellular serum to more than 145 mEq per L. On the other hand, hyponatremia is caused by a decrease in the concentration of sodium in body, i.e. less than 135 mEq per L. Hyponatremia can be acute or chronic (Buttaro, 2013). Both hypernatremia and hyponatremia are commonly found clinical problems in critically ill patients. They are often asymptomatic, but in some patients their symptoms appear that can ...

Abstract:

The principal intention of this study was to come up with the most conducive internal environment in a building. At any given moment, the internal temperature of a building is a function of the amount of heat produced by sources therein and the net heat transfer into or out of the building. The four heat transfer modes are convection, radiation, conduction, and phase- change. In executing this project, the researchers sought the relevant literature to establish the thermal properties of various materials. The properties are critical in determining the amount of heat inflow and exit from the building. The ...

Introduction

There are several options open to Acme Fireworks. As a sole proprietorship, the owner is able to hire employees. The biggest benefit of a sole proprietorship is the easiness of dealing with taxes and the easiness of running the business. There are some drawbacks to being a sole proprietorship, such as the fact that the owner is personally liable for any legal situation that arises through various contracts or business deals (Dishman, 2010). The owner of Acme Fireworks should strongly consider upgrading his sole proprietorship because the business contracts appear like they may be permanent; regardless, as Acme is ...

Emma Williams’s Case

Arbitration is a formal process for determining a grievance between parties in a conflict. A labor arbitration process involves an employment-related dispute between an employer and employee. The authority of an arbitral award comes from the binding arbitral clause in a contract of employment or the authority given by the parties through the appointment (Walras, 2013). An arbitrator has quasi-judicial powers to investigate, listen to the grievances of the parties and provide a decision, which is binding on all parties involved in dispute. However, arbitration must be launched on time to have a force of law. The dispute in ...

Central to the conundrum facing politicians and political scholars in the United States is the low and evidently waning voter turnout. Apparently, between 1964 and 2012, the turnout in Presidential elections declined from an estimated 69.3 percent to 56.5 percent of the total registered and eligible voters (DeSipio 2016: Module 6, Lecture 1). Now, in answer, state and national officials have issued proposals for different institutional reforms including “early voting [and] voting by mail” in some States as a means to encourage Americans to vote (Ginsberg, Lowi, Weir, Tolbert, and Spitzer 2014: 219). Evidently, the mentioned tactics create a ...

Some places in Rwanda are prone to disasters.

Rubavu and Ngororero were also hit, and seven people died in these places while others were left injured. Parts of Northern Rwanda are most susceptible to these disasters (REMA, 2011, 45). These include Rubavu Districts, Musanze, Nyabihu, and Burera. Although these are natural disasters, their magnitude is determined by a combination of ...

All across the care spectrum, fall and injuries remains a significant challenge as Ganz, et al., (2013, pp. 390-396) documents. In the United States for instance, 700,000 to 1,000,000 people are documented to fall in hospitals (Kalisch, Tschannen, & Lee, 2012). A patient fall in this regard refers to an unplanned floor descent with or without resultant patient injuries. For older persons in the USA above 65years, unintentional falls account for the commonest cause of nonfatal injuries (Ambrose, Paul & Hausdorff, 2013). Additionally, accidental falls are among the commonest reported hospital incidents which complicates approximately 2% of all ...

The history of the United States is a colorful one; it has played a part in most of global major events. If it is a worldwide historical event, chances are the United States has a part in it in one way or another. Such events can be attributed to, and are the causes of America’s rise to superpower that it is today. The fact that America has a key role in some of world events can be considered proof that it is one of the world’s most influential countries, which ultimately gives credence to its reputation as ‘ ...

Research into the relationship between staff levels and outcomes in patient care is important in order to ensure that those receiving healthcare are given the most valuable service possible. The effect that staff levels have on patient care is an essential factor in the overall level of success that their treatment will see. In determining the relationship between these two factors, it is important to critically assess the general values that nurses themselves have as well as their patients when receiving care. Furthermore, the level of burnout, or physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion that nurses feel due to high ...
