The top six professional behaviors I would expect from a health care worker, or want them to exhibit are, in no particular order: patience, empathy, calmness, helpfulness, competence, and diligence (Hammer, 2000; HCPC, 2014).

First, since most interactions with a health care professional more often than not means that there is some sort of health issue that a patient is experiencing, it is very likely that the person will be scared, anxious, or nervous. Accordingly, a patient, calm, and emphatic health care worker will ...

Pathophysiology of Chronic venous insufficiency and Deep venous thrombosis

Chronic venous insufficiency is a condition that describes a dysfunction of the valves in the upper and lower extremities or the inability of the muscles in these regions to exert the required pressure that can force the flow of blood back into the heart. Essentially, the arteries are designed to supply oxygen-rich blood to all parts of the body while the veins are designed to transport the oxygen-deficient blood back into the heart (McPhee& Hammer, 2010). These processes are enhanced by the pressure exerted by the underlying muscles within the upper and lower extremities as well as the ability ...

Discuss the therapeutic effects of Ultrasound in the treatment of a tennis elbow soft tissue injury

Introduction The ultrasound is used as a treatment for soft tissue injuries using sound waves that are beyond the range of normal hearing. An ultrasound consists of inaudible high frequency mechanical vibrations (Gibbs, Cole and Sassano, 2009) which are created upon the conversion of electrical energy into acoustic energy through mechanical deformation of the piezoelectric crystal which lies within the transducer (Rheumatology, 2011). Therapeutic ultrasound uses a frequency between 0.75 and 3 MHz (Knight, Knight and Draper, 2013) for heating deeper and superficial tissues. Low frequency ultrasound at 1 Mhz is absorbed by tissues up to 3 to 5 cm ...

The specific criminal who I choose to analyze using the crime classification worksheet found in Chapter 1, Exhibit 1.1, is Steven Pennell, the sexual sadist. The victims of Steven Pennell were high risk victims. They were either involved in prostitution or drug use. This is illustrated in the case involving Catherine DiMauro. The text, Serial Violence: Analysis of Modus Operandi and Signature Characteristics of Killers, describes DiMauro as a “former lunchwagon driver with a police record of prostitution arrests” (Keppel & Birnes, 2009, p. 143). Robert Keppel and William Birnes explain that DiMauro’s main mode of transportation was “ ...

In his speech of December 8, 1941 President Franklin Roosevelt addressed Congress to urge them to declare war on Japan and gather the spirit of the American people behind this effort.

Regaining Southern Power: Comparing Whites in the South after the Civil War with the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s

It is common to hear people talk about the Civil War as a war that was fought to abolish slavery. It is cited as an example of American determination to bring freedom to all regardless of past wrongs. This narrative continues with the northern states-- the Union-- as the victor, and the eventual abolition of slavery. However, the American Civil War, its causes, and its eventual effects are much more complex than this narrative belies. After the American Civil War, there was a power struggle in the South; white Southerners used many tactics to regain power after the war officially ended. ...

The personality of an individual is the unique characteristics that are inherent in a person. These characteristics include a person’s behavior, way of thinking and a person’s interaction with the surrounding environment (Briggs& Peter, 1980). These characteristics are consistent in an individual and thus shape who a given individual is. The characteristics set apart different individuals. There is a common ground or yard stick of determining individuals’ personalities. These yardsticks give room for different individuals to be grouped under one common trait.

In archeology, DNA analysis has been used as an investigatory tool since it became available to scientists. DNA analysis, which is a constantly developing and expanding field, has allowed archaeologists to precisely and decisively obtain results that solve archaeological, historical, and evolutionary questions. Unfortunately, the methods for using ancient DNA analysis tend to destroy the samples from which the DNA is extracted. The results can easily be affected by external contamination as well, which requires the research to be conducted within specialized laboratories by trained laboratory personnel (Arandjelovic, Guschanski, Schubert, Harris, Thalmann, Siedel, & Vigilant, 2009). DNA analysis has been ...

In this paper, I will discuss the present-at-hand and the ready-at-hand in Heidegger’s philosophy. Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) is a German philosopher who is often thought of in terms of the Existentialist movement in Continental philosophical tradition, but who did not prefer to be classified as an existentialist (McBride 131). Heidegger concerns himself with the deep metaphysical question of being in his book Being and Time — a job he never completed in his lifetime (Blattner 9). Heidegger has an ambitious project in his book — that is fundamentally to investigate being, a project he feels has been forgotten by philosophers (Heidegger 1). Theologians ...
