Abstract

At the healthcare facility or setting and particularly in the emergency department patients will present with different or varying needs. Considering the chronic scarcity of resources or personnel within the settings, healthcare providers have to prioritize the needs foe the patients. That means determining those that require urgent care, those that can be managed in the mid-term and those that can wait for much longer periods of time before being managed (Hoyt, 2016). There are ethical issues that make the triage system a case for worry; on one hand, the probability that patient’s status may rapidly change and ...

Therefore in case of euthanasia, the suffering is less. Sometimes the patients have the opportunity to make a decision regarding euthanasia and in such cases, the family of such a person should respect the decision made by him or her. ...

Role is defined as “the set of interconnected rights, beliefs, norms and behaviors as determined by the people in a given social condition” (MacMillan Online Dictionary, 2014). It is then acceptable to assume that roles are dictated by the society according to what it deemed appropriate and necessary for a specific individual based on social position or social status. In the case of the Nurse Practitioner, he or she too has a socially-determined role to play to the betterment of the community. However, ...

Pros and cons of using the same police vehicle constantly through shifts versus assigning individual vehicles to field officers for every shift One of the most important aspects of policing is patrol (Hess and Orthman, 2010). Research indicates that the more efficient the patrol is, the better the efficiency in policing, especially in relation to detection, responding, and prevention of crime (Mackey and Levan, 2011). On such basis, improving patrol has been a key consideration in contemporary law enforcement. One key consideration in improving patrol has been whether to utilize a personal car program or a multi-shift car program. Under ...

A concept can be thought of as a lens that can be used to see a phenomenon or explain it. If the contents of the concept varies, the lenses are changed, and the same phenomenon might appear different to the observer as well. The concept of Nature sometimes is used without being defined but, according to some philosophers, it encloses at least three different meanings , and each can be considered a different glass through which the world can be observed and even defined. Some authors see nature as an inherent quality of all objects, as something that generates them or gives them ...

Personal Philosophy

Personal Philosophy on Nursing The profession of nursing is centrally focused on the provision of care using artistic and scientific skills to improve the health of human beings within their environments. This meta-paradigm concept as postulated by Fawcett defines the profession as a correlation of these terms: the environment, the human being, health and nursing; to bring out an integral perspective of wholesomeness. This opening statement may seem technical but in its simplistic construction, it basically means that nursing is more than just administering treatment to the sick. I do believe, therefore, that any philosophical underpinning must be able ...

Earlier generations believed that pidgins and creoles were wrong versions of English. It is only comparatively recently that linguists have realized that pidgins and creoles were rather new languages. Their words were largely taken from an older language during a period of linguistic crisis to fill an urgent need for communication (Holm, 2000, p. 25). This makes them appear to be deformed versions of that older language. If, however, one examines them as linguistic systems, analyzing the structure of their phonology, syntax, and word formation, it becomes evident that these systems are quite different from those of the language from ...

Abstract

The evidence based approach (EBP) to nursing practice provides nurses the ability to deliver quality health care services to a specific population. This kind of approach in the nursing practice is widely used because it reinforces the nurse’s ability to solve problems and overcome barriers using the best evidence available from research, patient references and clinical judgment (Schmidt & Brown, 2011 ). Orthopedic nursing involves the delivery of treatment and management of care to patients with musculoskeletal problems (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2007) and this is one of the areas of clinical nursing practices that impose challenges and difficulties to a clinical nurse. ...

In information systems, the main aim is to make data storage and retrieval very simplified and fast. Most of information systems use relational databases to store their information due the many advantages attached to these database management systems. In the actual implementation, the first question to think is the categories in which the database users can be divided (James, 2012). This can lead to two categories where one is the administrators and the other for other users like sales personnel. This helps grant and deprive access privileges so as to secure data. The other step is to divide the ...

Introduction Antibiotics are used to kill microorganism or inhibit their ability to multiply (DIANE Publishing Company 73).

Man and Global Warming

Discussions regarding Global Warming or Climate Change are not complete without the arguments surrounding the causes of this phenomenon.

These chemicals then took a toll over the ozone layer, opening an opening to allow infrared rays from the sun to enter the globe. While many have accepted that the phenomenon had something to do with the evolution of man’s inventions to make their lives easier, some have raised speculation ...

Nowadays, this argument is further escalated when proposals for legalizing abortion has gone underway. In the United States alone, abortion is legalized in some states and even ...

ABSTRACT

The ancients knew that leading a meaningful life meant, first and foremost, finding virtue within oneself. Aristotle and Marcus Aurelius believed in a virtuous life of meaning and left blueprints for others to follow. The model they established of the secular saint stands in counterpoint to the modern incarnation of the “hero,” the media-created celebrity saint or public relations creation, whose humanism supports corporate interests or establishes a “bankable” cult of personality. This celebrity culture affected the legacy of Friedrich Nietzsche, of whom secular sainthood made a kind of pseudo-religious hero, a notion that would have been abhorrent to the great German philosopher. The ...

The argument between functionalists and those who subscribe to the Universal Grammar model falls within the great scientific tradition of “nature versus nurture.” It is, perhaps, an unavoidable discursive construct, one that usefully and practically frames the debate over how second language acquisition is facilitated by the human brain. There is uniformity to language itself but the individual experience of each person who comes to understand and learn a second language may be seen as an organic and fluid phenomenon. Does the acquisition of a second language take place through the filter of personal experience, or does it fall into place ...

For years, mankind has developed a tremendous interest and concern about the origin and the amalgam of the solar system. Solar system is majorly comprised of the sun, planets, moons and objects that orbit around the sun. Beliefs and scientific studies have been cited to describe and explain the theories behind the esoteric existence of the solar system. The attributes of research have made it possible to depict and elaborate the dominant ideology of the structure, composition and physical movement of the solar system. This is vastly achieved through the utilization of sophisticated machines that are either deployed into space ...
