Health care settings function in a well collaborative manner where multidisciplinary work environment exists. In a complex care situation, such as transition care of patients, the role of nurse care professionals was believed to be vital in coordinating the care. For instance, in geriatric settings, it is these professionals who can take up the complex tasks to enable the elderly individuals in transition from the care center to their residence seek suitable care and therapy (Cortes, Wexler & Fitzpatrick, 2004). So, there is a growing research interest on how these nurses utilize their potential in administering the care quality for ...

Introduction

The focus of the research is on determining how the changing role of the field of Transitional Nursing can affect the quality of healthcare that is provided to the elderly population.

Coherent Paragraph

The traditional roles of Aboriginal women are not understood in contemporary settings because Western cultures have influenced their behaviours over the years. Socially, the primary role of women was child rearing. They were tasked with ensuring that children’s mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional needs were met. Additionally, they ensured that the children had physical necessities such as clothing, food, and shelter. Nevertheless, the fathers, as well as the extended families, also played a role in ensuring that the children’s basic needs were met. In traditional societies, Aboriginal women were regarded as the carriers of their cultures. They ...

Gap in Care Quality during the Discharge Process for Care Coordination for Patients with Chronic Illnesses

Patients in the United States who experience long-term illnesses may change from one health care setting to another. They might move from home to a hospital, to an assisted living facility, or to other types of residential care. The coordination of care for patients with chronic illnesses is reliant on the abilities of health care providers to interact effectively in order to provide optimum outcomes (NTCC, 2010). In order to determine the best possible option for the patient, care coordinators must accurately assess the patient’s condition, reach a consensus on prognosis, evaluate possible resources, and develop and initiate ...

Behavioral interventions can be grouped as either antecedent-based interventions (ABI) or consequence-based interventions (CBI). CBI is a group of practices in which the problem behaviors are addressed by manipulating the reinforcement or punishment stimuli following an observed behavior, whereas ABI refers to a group of behavioral interventions that are concerned with the modification of environmental factors that are believed to precede problem behaviors (Tullis, Cannella-Malone, & Payne, 2015). Therefore, ABI strategies are implemented before the problem behavior occurs, so their unique quality is the possibility of problem behavior prevention, which makes the behavioral change easier to maintain compared to results ...

Introduction

Overview of the Product or Service

Providing quality care is one of the primary goals of every clinical setting (Alvarado et al., 2006). Regardless of the clinical setting itself, patient care must remain the main focus for the organization: however, maintaining cost-effective procedures is also a key component of good clinical practice. Good patient care relies on the ability of the staff to communicate, as well as the ability of the organization to meet the specific needs of the patients (Alvarado et al., 2006). For clinical care centers that are open twenty-four hours a day, there can be problems with patient care when staff changes ( ...

The neoclassical growth model also known as the Solow-Swan model was put forward to explain long-term economic growth and development by examining economic variables such as accumulation of capital, growth of labor and advancement of technological processes. This model can be used to provide theoretical framework which will aid in explaining and comparing the economic growth of China and India. The model stresses out on the manner in which examine and interpret data. For example, China’s high level of investment should not be directly interpreted as steady economic growth (Huisken 238). This is because economic growth in the ...

The ongoing internationalization process persuaded regulators and businesses worldwide to think of a common global accounting language for business affairs. This move led to the development of IFRS.

Introduction Nursing research is crucial if the profession is to move forward into the 21st century and beyond. Think for a moment about evidenced-based practice. Once it was just a theory in someone's imagination. Now it is a part of every nurse's practice. Quality improvement is another area that has come into practice because of the researches done on its behalf. Doing research follows pretty much the same route regardless of research type, except for the case study approach. Data is gathered the same as in any other research effort. But that data is verbal, obtained ...

It is an ascertained fact that adolescence, that is typically associated with the teenage years, is a transitional state during which an individual is likely to experience numerous psychological and social issues which may lead to crisis situations. In actual fact, "adolescence can be a stormy period in which teenagers are struggling for independence, yet are still in need of guidance and emotional support" (Kanel, 2015, p. 119). According to Kanel (2015), during this transitional period, teenagers tend to "engage in self-destructing behaviors" in order to meet their special needs and requirement of society (p. 119). Crises related to ...

Never a spontaneous phenomenon, racism seems sparked often as an ideological view. Unlikely though it may sound, the white liberal government instituted what continued for over 40 years. Characterized by segregation and violence in response to any opposition, the order came to its end. While in the transitional period, the country established the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the restoration of national unity. Obviously, national reconciliation is possible only through racism eradication since it is racial bias that is at the root of the national disunity and bellicosity. Much as the commission utilized a number of tools towards this ...

Introduction

It seems difficult to analyze democratic transition from the standpoint of international dimension both theoretically and practically because not so much literatures that discuss about what the external environment actually is and how it might contribute to domestic change (Cavatorta 2005). However, it does not mean that international context will be ignored in the analysis process because international factors might have impacts on the transition process through their connections with domestic actors particularly in terms of distribution of power and resources, which in turn have effect on how they will act (Cavatorta 2005). One thing to remember is a ...

Fauvism refers to all the artistic techniques employed during the early 20th century. These artistic techniques were characterized by free treatment of structure as well as vivid colors that resulted in a decorative and vibrant effect (Denvir, 1978).

The entire world has changed and there are no more slaves or servants, each person has a right to life, freedom, liberty, education, food and others. The notion of equal human rights makes one believe that the world is homogeneous at least in this sense, because freedom of choice must be never violated. But social stratification of society still exists and there are people, who live in affluence and can afford people caring their children and cleaning their houses. And on the other side there are those, who can do this job in order to get at least some ...

The assumption that changes are as good as rest is not always taken positively when it is eventually put into practice. Often than not, reorganization is feared and strongly resisted because it brings around disturbances of the status quo, a threat to individuals vested interests in their jobs. Sometimes changes are altered resulting in a loss of effectiveness and an increase in costs. Vehement resistance to cultural, ethical and professional changes as is witnessed in the New Zealand Police Unit. The top brass in the New Zealand Police though some in subtle ways is up in arms against almost ...
