The Bill of Rights serves as an integral part of democracy that the United States (US) has long espoused and developed. Although the Bill of Rights did not draw immediate support from most of the Framers of the Constitution, it eventually gained ground in the form of the first 10 amendments submitted to Congress during its first session. Whereas states have duly ratified the Bill of Rights, the Fourteenth Amendment loosened its applicability through selective incorporation. Such provides for flexibility in applying the Bill of Rights to state jurisdiction, although it does not mean to say that non-applying states ...

This resulted to improved job performance, job satisfaction and recruitment. The overall performance of the organization improved enormously.

Introduction

The practice of ethics demands professionals to undertake acceptable procedures and avoid unethical habits. Although not all ethical best practices are guided by law, the foundation of ethics in Natural Law and other episteme from the field of Philosophy encourages us to consider rules to conduct (Wines, 2005). However, professionals often engage in corrupt behavior in which they undermine their professional ethics (Brooks, 2010).

During a trip to an African city, I witnessed the first case of corruption in observation of hiring practices. Preferential treatment was given by a recruiter hiring for “sensitive” jobs in the country. Candidates were ...

The various methods of training used by organizations are all aimed at achieving certain objectives. They are focused on determining the changes needed in the organizational behavior or structure with the aim of making the objectives of the organization easier to achieve. The method of training to be applied must therefore be capable of delivering the desired objectives and at a cost that is affordable to the organization. The training method must be evaluated to ascertain its compatibility to the situation that raises the need for training within the organization. While choosing a training method, it is necessary to ...

Lauren Greenfield’s photograph portrays the typical gender stereotype that so many little girls have to fight against or give in to. The gender training all around us says the girls and women need to be skinny to be beautiful. While is it acceptable for men to have their beer bellies, a couple extra pounds cannot be compatible with a beautiful young woman. On the photo, we see how a young girl is worried about her weight and what it may mean. Even though she is dressed beautifully in a black dress that show off her small waist, this ...

Question 1

The first ethical implication of patient-clinician messaging actually pertains to the confidentiality and privacy of personal health information. Using the secure web based messaging system eliminates the requirement for super encryption that would be needed for the traditional email. The second implication is that the patient clinician messaging may cause unequal access to health care for the individuals who are not conversant with internet or who cannot access it. Another implication is the worry in the health circles that this patient clinician messaging may obliterate the interpersonal patient/physician relationship that is very vital in the provision of quality health ...

Introduction

In our continuing series of athletics training at Taylor Centre, it is important to engage in reasonable emergency response plan. It involves the preparedness, response and finally recovery to reduce the unnecessary impact of the disaster. This is an important exercise since it increases productivity; reduce absenteeism as result of illness, improve the player’s morale and reduces compensation rates. A team without this reasonable means of response can be compared to a city without walls which can be invaded by any danger. Emergency response is what guarantees safety against any unintended external attacks (Gerilyne, 2006)

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 ...

According to Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, and Transgenders (LGBT), who speaks to the much-ignored subject “Bible doesn't define marriage as only a sexual relationship between a man and a woman.” Christians are changed in understanding of marriage concept in their hearts by this kind of discussion. This kind of discussion makes Christians to understand the concept of marriage and change their hearts. Neither religion nor believes of Christians matter, this is progress for LGBTQ.

This paper discusses the imminent contributions of prisoner rehabilitation. One of the major roles of the judiciary is to rehabilitate criminal offenders. After undergoing a due process as stipulated by law, a convict can be punished in different ways. In case of imprisonment, an inmate is supposed to be rehabilitated. Meaning, they should be subjected to educational and therapeutic services to enable them understand and appreciate the importance of law abidance in the country (Hare, R.D., 2007). I would like to emphasize on rehabilitation because it is a fruitful exercise which can enable the society to nurture law abiding ...

Why, according to Xenophon, are human beings so difficult to rule?

It is, indeed, difficult to rule human beings. Such is because of the fact that human beings possess the ability to reason, which enables them to become highly susceptible to their desires and decisions. In that case, they become very hard to rule because they do not follow instructions coming from others apart from them right away. For them to follow someone who is sending out orders to them, they have to use their reasoning powers to discern whether such orders are compatible with their line of thinking. Thus, an effective ruler of humans is ...

1. Comparing The Leadership Challenge and the Rosa Parks article

There are five essential practices of exemplary leadership, according to the Leadership Challenge. The first aspect of exemplary leadership is “model the way.” Parks modeled the way forward by non-violently but assertively refusing to give up her seat at the front of the bus and move to the back when the bus driver ordered her to, showing people what they could accomplish by using a simple word: “no.” The second practice is to inspire a shared vision, which Parks did as she was arrested. Her arrest sparked counter sit-ins, bus ...

Motivation and Motivational Theories:

Motivation is one of the important concepts in the field of human resource management. Motivation is an internal feeling or force which encourages and directs the human behavior towards a particular direction. In the case of organizations and human resource management, the motivation is the driving force which encourages the employees to give their best performance. Different researchers have worked to identify the different sources of motivation and have given importance to improve the overall motivational level of the employees and other personnel in the organization (Rothwell, Hohne, & King, 2012). Several motivations theories have been identified by the researchers. ...

Every year, organizations spend billions of dollars to provide training for their employees. This is because, training offers many benefits both to the ...

Question 1

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. ...

Introduction:

There have been ongoing changes in the human resource management because of the increasing technological advancement and globalization. Organizations are not treating the human resources as one of the assets and are coming up with human resource strategies in order to transform the human resource in the competitive advantage. It is important for the organizations to come up with effective and efficient strategies to improve and enhance the overall performance of the employees as it is directly related or associated with the overall growth and performance of the organization.

In 1999, the Institute of Medicine conducted a study showing that medical errors contributed to the morbidity rate of hospitalized patients in the U.S. by as many as 44,000 to 98,000 deaths (Woo, Ranji & Salganicoff, 2008). Ranking as 5th to 8th among the major causes of deaths in the country, medical errors surpassed the numbers caused by motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer and AIDS at that time. The IOM study caused a snowballing of further research and policy making with regard to medical error reduction. More than a decade later, preventable medical errors persist. One such case ...

Times are constantly changing. It is becoming harder and harder to stay up to date with all of the new electronic innovations that appear every year: the new phones, the new computers, the new handheld devices, and the list can go on. New vehicles are being released every year. The economy is changing, world events are shifting faster than is possible to keep up with, and as surroundings speed up personal lives are changing just as rapidly. Just imagine, then, how much the medical profession is changing! New cures for cancer are being researched; new antibiotics and other medications ...

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).

In navigating the Practice Fusion EHR website (Practice Fusion, 2012), I found the interface to be very helpful. The site could be easily navigated and the interface was simple enough for users to understand. The interface was also very intuitive, making it easy for users to determine how to perform a certain function or how they can access a particular type of information. Similarly, the site provides all of the patient information that a healthcare professional would need to know. In addition, the system logs the user’s activities within the system, which make it easier to ensure accountability. ...

Leadership theories have evolved as human behavior practitioners and scholars continue to examine different facets that influence and affect this intriguing concept. In the concepts of leadership, excerpts from the book of Clark (2005) have emphasized that “good leaders are made not born. If you have the desire and willpower, you can become an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience” (Concepts of Leadership , 2012, par. 2). As such, through appropriate theoretical framework on leadership theories and with application of these concepts in actual work settings, leaders ...

Introduction

Nursing is a very significant medical field, and it is served with the responsibility of defining the type and nature of treatment that is to be provided to a patient. In the contemporary nursing practice, nurses are expected to exhibit elements of leadership, a trait defined as a practice of social influence where a specific individual influence others in accomplishing a common task (Blais, 2006). Therefore, this paper explores elements leadership in nursing practice, and determines how such a culture can be propagated to provide quality nursing care.

Discuss the concept of granting “Golden parachutes to executives”. Explain how this practice could be in line with shareholders’ best interests. Do you see how this practice could possibly be taken advantage of by the executives?

Upon employment, senior executives are entitled to a certain payment either in monetary value, or in equity should their contract be terminated ‘without cause’ before the end of their contractual tenure. This payment is normally referred to as a “Golden Parachute.” Golden parachutes have often raised concerns of abuse and claims that the management elite of the company could be taking advantage of ...

Specialists in nursing have existed since early 1900s with nurse anesthetics and nurse midwives having been the pioneers. They lay formative foundations in early 20th century for advanced nursing practice. The roles of advanced nurses have not been clear historically. There was and still there is a lack of clarity in roles of different advanced nurses. This paper delineates the roles of clinical nurse specialist and nurse practitioners.

Nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists are two of advanced practice nurses with nurse midwives and nurse anesthetists constituting the rest. Clinical nurse specialists provide care in a wide range ...

Clinical innovations such as new methods of diagnosis and treatment, bioengineering, and evidenced based medicine are core of biomedicalization. A wide range of knowledge that is now ...

1. Think of the last time that you had a conflict with another person, either at work or at school. Using the guidelines for performance feedback, how would you provide effective feedback to the person?

The best approach would be to solve the problem/conflict. In solving the problem, the focus of feedback however, is not on the person but on the behavior of the person. Moreover, it would be even more effective if criticism is minimized. If effective performance is observed, then an effective feedback would be through praise.

Performance management, as I understand it, is an approach through ...

This paper investigates changes that have occurred / are occurring in a multicultural workforce, and whether those changes have proved / are proving to have positive benefits.

The Research

A 1991 paper by Taylor Cox, Jr., of the University of Michigan discusses this topic. Entitled “The multicultural organization”, his paper notes how organizations are finding that diversity in “gender, race, ethnicity and nationality” is on the increase. The author sees both positive and negative effects of this phenomenon. On the positive side, Cox sees benefits such as improvements in decision-making, more innovation and creativity, and greater success in marketing to different ...

Do they really help?

“One of the most frightening and degrading experience in every employee’s life is the Annual Performance Review,” says Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert. (Markle; 2000). A large no of brilliant researchers, academics and dynamic corporate heads also have the same opinion. Do we then do away with the performance appraisal? “No” says an equally large number of experts. They reason that without appraisals, HRM cannot gauge the performance of the employees, which is perhaps one among the main functions of HR. As per Rao, performance appraisal is the basis for HRM (Rao, 2010). Without knowing the performance ...

Undeniably, leadership/management training and development plays a tremendous role in effective management and employees’ performance in an organization. It is vital to be updated with the modern methodologies to make sure that the organization’s leaders are prepared to effectively lead and inspire teams. Leadership training programs enable leaders to acquire and develop their leadership skills and to put into practice these skills in the organization. One clear benefit that assists in underscoring the significance of leadership/management training is the enhancement in skills that managers/leaders will acquire in training programs (Thompson & Strickland, 2003).  Through training, the leadership/management team will ...

At my visit at the Illinois Shaolin Kung Fu center, I have observe some rituals and symbols of the discipline and learned some things about them from Master Cheng, the instructor and expert.

One of the actions most repeatedly done is the meditation. Everyone, from the Master to the students must do them before beginning the exercises. The students line up in columns on the exercise area facing the Master. They sit on the floor on a cross-legged position and close their eyes. Master Cheng will ask the students to let go of whatever they are thinking of outside ...

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).

Features

The distinction between the two practices can be traced to an ancient rift frequently found in philosophy and science, rationalism versus empiricism. Rationalists claimed that their senses are limited and that they ...

Trainer certifications are necessary legal requirements for a person who wishes to start training other people. These trainings involve body fitness and mind building. Personal trainer certification is required for one to be certified professional in giving exercise prescriptions and instructions (Bates, 2008). Trainers are supposed to motivate their clients during exercises and set some goals they are supposed to achieve at the end of the exercise. There are different certifications in the United States of America which are authorised by law to give certificates to qualified individuals.

One of these certifications is the National Strength and Conditioning Association ( ...

A company like Start Software therefore needs to invest in the best talent available in the market in order to be able to compete in a fast changing technological environment. Available talent should be developed and upgraded regularly and the impact of the development ...

Q1. Explicit knowledge is that which is documented in books, drawings and documents. Its expression is through words, numbers and codes. On the other hand, tacit knowledge is that which is based on experience and contained in the mind. It is what is unseen. This knowledge is, however, important in innovation and hands on jobs. Explicit knowledge is crucial in personal development and in communication.

Q2. Interaction of different aspects is important for an effective community of practice. The practitioners have to be from the same field with almost similar competence levels. This is of the essence for the ...

Before coming to Ireland I had lots of expectations and I really wanted to learn different ways of writing research reports particularly designing surveys, communication styles, ways of working in a team and time management skills. And indeed my experience has lived to my expectations; moreover, I have learnt CVs, personal statements and interviews, things I didn’t imagine I could learn during the course study in Ireland.

While in Ireland, I really wanted to attain presentations skills and master the effective communication processes so that I be able to relay messages in ways that the recipient finds it ...

Both of my careers of interest involve psychological counseling. One would be serving as a school psychologist, and the other would be working in private practice as a psychologist. I am not interested in having the ability to prescribe medicines for my clients; although I realize that there are some mental conditions that are best remedies using prescriptions, in general I feel that these sorts of medicines are overprescribed, and I would prefer to treat patients through other means. For both of these positions, I would need to finish a B.S. in psychology and gain licensure, and to gain ...

1. The authors perform this study in order to determine exactly by what means do nurses calculate which drug doses need to be allocated to patients on a ward. 2. The authors believe that it is possible to combine knowledge-fragment analysis and cultural practice in order to provide a more comprehensive means of education. They claim that, contrary to what is claimed in nursing practice, experienced nurses calculate doses through several proportional-reasoning strategies to provide more accurate dosages. 3. Evidence includes the actual behavior of the nurses in the field, as compared to their reports and explanations to other medical ...

Cultural aspects within the pretext of social influence vary from one place to another. As such, people hold different perceptions with regard to the suitability of any specific culture. However, there are some cultural practices which are likely to match. The probable conforming cultures have comparable characteristics. The comparability aspect makes them easily adaptable by groups of people. The fact that more people can respond to a practice in a relatively similar manner may lead to cultic tendencies. Most people are able to adjust to foreign cultural practices to some extent.

Social influencing is however a common scenario in ...
