In the wide sense, the meaning of the business ethics can be explained as a complex of ethical values and standards that the company and its members in the area of management and entrepreneurship should follow while performing its activities. In the economic world, ethics issues are strongly linked to matters of money. The money is not considered a general means of payments to suppliers anymore. It is a measure of the holder’s achievement, an entrepreneur who can (or cannot) generate enough to be perceived a successful (Audi, 2008). Corporate social responsibility is known to be not only ...

Nursing care models are distinct frameworks used in care settings to deliver care services. The type of framework adopted in an organization is determined by various factors, including economic factors, leadership, recruitment and retention of staff members, and type of decision-making models used in the organization (Fairbrother, Jones & Rivas, 2010). The type of care model used determines the quality and effectiveness with which care services are delivered. There are four main types of nursing care models, which can be broadly categorized into task-oriented or patient-centered. Team-nursing and functional care models are task-oriented, while primary-care nursing and total patient care ...

Cell culture is an in-vitro technique of cultivating cells under controlled conditions and in sterile conditions. The technique was first developed by Ross Harrison in 1907. During the process of cell culture, the cells are detached from their tissue of origin and segregated from each other, either by mechanical or enzymatic means. The detached cells are then transferred before culturing them in cell culture plate or flask. The first generation of producing cell through this method is called primary cell culture. The cells from the primary culture are transferred to a new culture plate with a fresh medium to ...

This discussion is a review of the protected health information (PHI) regulatory requirement as advanced by the state of Florida, the federal government’s HHS, and the Joint Commission (TJC). I believe that this regulatory measure stemmed out of HIPAA (1996) requirement that facilities restructure their electronic exchange, security, and privacy initiatives concerning PHI. The HHS, therefore, would direct, through Sections 261-264, that hospitals publicize their adherence procedures pertaining these issues. The following is an analysis of these three entities. The state of Florida, through Statute 456.057, advice that hospitals treat PHIs with the respect they deserve. Here, such ...

1: BP’s Contributory Ethical Aspects to the Oil Spill

One of BP’s ethical violations includes the lack of implementation of the safety measures that would have prevented the occurrence of the incidences and the deaths. Some of the failures are visible through the absence of proper machinery controls like remote switching that would have enabled the crew to take charge of the situation in the rig. A majority of this mistakes stem from the fact that BP was cutting corners in its processes to ensure that it made savings on its investments while putting its employees at risk. The company also failed to adhere to environmental regulations ...

There are times when a nursing problem arises as a result of a number of findings, and these findings are pulled together into a summary in order to see the big picture created out of these findings. This act of pulling together is what Brown & Ochs (2018) calls a systematic research review (SRR) or systematic review, which helps researchers identify “what is known with certainty, what is tentatively known, and what the gaps in knowledge are regarding an issue” (p.175). It serves as a link between the individual studies performed and the decision making done in order to create ...

Part 1

Of the many borrowed principles which are currently in use in the professional nursing world, the social exchange theory has proved to be very crucial as regards to the relationships which care providers have with their patients. The stability of relationships between different persons in the society is based on the interactions which they have amongst themselves. Furthermore, the benefits which an individual stands to gain from their relationships are what make them enter into coalitions (Cook et al., 2013). A balance in the relationships between different parties is the primary goal for people forming such coalitions. The core ...

According to Garon, it is important that nurses realize the need to speak up and be heard at work. It is important not just for the satisfaction at work, but also to have better team work and to provide outmost patient safety. (Garon 2012). I ...

Lewin came up with a three-stage model that is quite essential in the nursing practice. The model involves three stages: unfreezing, changing and refreezing. The main goal of the unfreezing stage is to create awareness on how the prevailing level of acceptability is impeding the effectiveness of service delivery in the organization. Examination of the previous processes, behaviors, organizational structures, and ways of thinking is significant in showing everyone how necessary change is. Lewin states that after people have been enlightened on the need for change, then the organization can transition into the new state of being. This is ...

According to David Logan tribal leadership video, it focuses on five kinds of tribes that people naturally form which in turn influences their behaviors. In every community, the day to day language that is used by people at their work place and their relationship with other members of the tribe is an indication at which stage is the tribe functioning (Logan & Fischer, 2008). They explicitly dismiss all beliefs, attitudes or other factor which cannot be observed directly. By focusing on language and behavior there are more in the behaviouristics tradition, than grounding their tribes in cognitive framework.
