Although preventive care service provision has a general guideline, to offer evidence-based practice, the medical practitioners are under obligation to ask the patient the following questions, among others. The family history concerning particular diseases like cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and other genetic diseases. In this regards, the nursing officer would establish the susceptibility of the patient to these conditions. Diagnosing of family members with such conditions may occur along the way and, therefore, it is important the nurse gets to know about it every time the patient visits the clinic.

The high percentage of death in intensive care unit is always attributed to the withdrawal of life support machine. In Australia, research shows that a significant proportion of deaths that occurred in the intensive care unit preceded a decision supporting the withdrawal of the life support and this is a case in many countries across the globe including Australia. Withdrawal of life support refers to the process of discontinuing critical care treatment for a patient who is terminally ill, and the decision can be made by the family, government or doctor (Way, Anthony, & Curtis, 2002).

Workforce Reductions

Workforce Reductions Workforce reduction is considered a downsizing strategy that directly affects the workers and employees of the company. The strategy is used as a result of slump in demand or to improve the operational efficiency of the company. The key reasons of workforce reduction include heightened competition, changing markets and gaps in the employment laws. In addition, improvement in the cash-flow, stakeholder expectations and overcapacity/poor management lead to massive layoffs to gain short-term profits and value (Rogovsky, 2005). The workforce reduction as a strategy of the company has both positive and negative impacts.

Introduction

The term “Brexit” has been highly popularized across the world today, but it has its root in the result of the referendum on June 23, 2016, for UK's exit from the EU. Brexit is simply a short-form for “British exit” (Mirror, 2016). EU members perceive Brexit as calamitous and in fact one of the most unfortunate events that have occurred throughout the lifetime of the Union. Britain became a member of the EU (formally known as the European Economic Community, ECC) on January 1, 1973, 12 years from the time it applied to join the community, and resultantly, it ...

The types of Networks

A computer network describes a collection of computers and other devices. These computers and devices are interconnected by channels of communication which allow for the sharing of information and resources among the said devices that are interconnected. The classification of networks follows different characteristics such as the medium used for the transportation of data, the protocols of communication used, scale, topology, and the scope of an organization as stated by Akyildiz & Rudin (2013). The categories of networks, therefore, constitute; a local area network, a Wide Area Network, a Metropolitan Area Network, Wireless Local Area Network, System Area Network, and ...

The first proposals of the European integration have been made at the Paris Conference in 1867. However, the practical realization of the idea of integration was not accomplished: the contradictions between the two countries were so deep that the awareness of the need to cooperate in the union went through two world wars and several local wars. Integration trends in Europe re-emerged immediately after the Second World War, when major European countries have realized that the restoration and development of national economies is the only possible way combining efforts and resources. Plan for the creation of the European Community ...

EDU 100: Issues in Education

Choosing a major is very difficult. In many cases, it determines the activity that a person will do for the rest of his or her life. Students have to consider some important aspects when deciding what the emphasis of their college studies and further career will be. This is problematic in many respects. In this sense, Koeppel (2004) affirms that the main factor that influences the decision-making on a college major is the age of students. He states that, since young adults are in the midst of self-discovery, making such an important decision puts an incredibly heavy pressure on ...

Human Resource Management (HRM) refers to the practices and knowledge within an organization that is concerned with the organization’s primary responsibility and employment relations (Redman, & Wilkinson, 2009). As such, it is a discipline that is guided by numerous models that include Guest, Harvard, Warwick, Storey, and Fombrun models. The Guest model developed by David Guest contends that the HR manager is initially presented with specific strategies which then create a need for certain practices within the organization in order to achieve the desired outcome. It bears six aspects that include HRM strategy and practices as well as behavior, ...

Analysis of Australian Conservation Foundation

One of these organizations includes Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF). The ACF is a non-government organization which operates on Australia. It is considered as the leading Australian non-government organization which focuses on improving the environment and solving issues and problems associated to ecology ( ...

Introduction

The ‘best fit' approach refers to the establishment of an alignment between Human resource strategies and Organizational strategies.

Introduction

The debate on the legality of using animals in research has continued to rage for many years now. A section of animal rights campaigners have argued that the use of animals in scholarly research contravenes the natural laws that guarantee the protection of the rights of animals. On the other hand, it is clear that the use of animals in research has yielded several positives that have seen the improvement of the lives of both people and animals in the world today. In this context, the current paper holds that the use of animals in research should be viewed ...

I have chosen to pursue a career as a preschool teacher in a public school setting. A public school setting offers many resources and trainings that might not otherwise be present at private institutions. I feel like preschool teaching is a good fit for me due to my prior experience working with children as a substitute teacher. I witnessed firsthand excellent classroom techniques and strategies that I would be excited to implement in my classroom. The foundation to a successful academic career begins in preschool. I personally feel I have the experience to help equip students with the necessary ...

In global societies, discussions concerning the use of animals in medical tests for research are uncomfortable and controversial. Modern technology often broadcasts horrific photos of procedures being conducted on helpless creatures accompanied by claims of untrustworthy results and skewed statistics. In the long run, animals will continue to be used for testing in laboratories until the value of the practice is diminished. “The benefits of animal research have been enormous and it would have severe consequences for public health and medical research if it were abandoned “ (Festing and Wilkinson, n.p.). This paper will present information regarding whether animal testing ...

The need for understanding cultural competency has been developing over the recent past. This instance comes after the realization that cultural sensitivity increase healthcare outcomes and interactions in a multidisciplinary setting. The current healthcare setting has encouraged involvement from a diverse workforce with different racial and ethnic basis. In the same way, a precedent rise of a diverse population in the American society means that those in need of healthcare services also require healthcare practitioners to attend to their needs (Treas and Wilkinson, 2014). Given that culture is a complex and extremely demanding concept, the need for a conscious ...

Needs Assessment

Obesity among the young people is a big problem for the world, especially in the developed countries. For example, in Canada more than 26 percent of children and adolescents between the ages 2 and 17 are overweight or obese (Shields, 2006). In the United States, more than 17 percent of children and young people between the ages of two and nineteen years are obese (Ogden, Carroll, Kit, & Flegal, 2014). Obese youth is more likely to develop lifestyle illnesses such as diabetes and therefore are twice more likely to lose their lives before the age of fifty-five years. The high ...

Charles Wilkinson and his famous book “Blood Struggle: The Rise of Modern Indian Nations” provide a brilliant description of the life of American Indians and how Indian tribes' could lose their sovereignty in the 1950s that was the turning point in the history of Indian nations. The author of the book characterizes Indians as passive victims of dark pages of their history. In fact, the author provides the description of separate stories which prove how American Indians became the active creators of their own history and moved from dispossession and darkness to well being and flourishing. Wilkinson accurately demonstrates ...

Executive Summary

Third party providers of proposition player services are a nascent, but a highly promising segment of the United States gambling business industry. There is much strong evidence suggesting that the number of casinos and other gambling establishments in the country is dynamically increasing. Thus, the importance of providers of third party proposition player services will be increasing simultaneously. At the same time, the practice shows that there are serious human resources problems in this area. In particular, the employee turnover rate in this industry is unusually high, sometimes reaching 35%. This research proposal provides a comprehensive introduction into the ...

Despite the fact that the research results collected by Nielsen may be somewhat useful, they should not be trusted for any serious marketing initiative as they have serious factual flaws. Specifically, the manager of Nielsen mentioned that the participants of the project scanned all products they bought, and the research company automatically receives the data about their buying habits, allowable income and other characteristics, which may be useful in crafting effective marketing strategies (UNLV Online Education, 2014). The service advertised by them appears to be especially attractive because of global economic uncertainty. In particular, the companies from different industries ...

The Wilkinson family and Flanigan family interviewed in “Coping with Fear and Uncertainty” dealt with the fear and uncertainty of military deployments differently. The Wilkinson’s prepared for the realities of deployments by talking about the risks they faced. For example, they accepted that the husband would be deployed and the deployment would put him in danger. They did not focus on the danger. Instead, they planned for their ‘worst case scenario’: What if Mr. Wilkinson’s deployment was extended? That the Wilkinson’s openly discussed the possible risks and planned ahead for possible outcomes shows that they ...

It is easy as a student of history to ignore major development with Native American tribes after the end of the nineteenth century and the so-called “closing of the frontier.” This is seen by many as the end of an era and a time where the federal government had finally settled its policy regarding the status and treatment of this country’s many Native American tribes. Charles Wilkinson in Blood Struggle paints a completely different picture of how the relationship between the tribes and the US government developed through the course of the second half of the twentieth century. ...

Discrimination in the place of work has been a barrier to the United Kingdom's development. The constitution of the country recognizes that everyone is equal.

Each of them men played an essential role in ushering the American Indian Movement. For instance, Charles Eastman was a physician and author who was well-versed in the cultural Indian life. He produced different publications that depicted the malicious treatment of the Indians by Christians (Wilkinson, 93). Black Elk, on the other hand, was an American Indian philosopher and Mr. Nickle was an Indian publisher (Wilkinson, 98). The three individuals wrote articles that voiced the plights of American Indians and acted as the guiding lights of the American Indian movement. The first episodes of the activism came about following ...

Aviation terrorism is the act of unleashing violence on airliners with the aim to harm or intimidate the victims. The occurrence of terrorism has increased with the rise of aviation as a mode of transport. The first known incident of air terrorism was carried out in 1930 by Peruvian insurgents who hijacked an airplane to scatter propaganda leaflets. This practice subsided in the subsequent two decades due to the effect of global factors such as world war two. Modern terrorism started in 1968 when three Palestinian gunmen hijacked a passenger airline of the Israeli Airline El Al on a ...

The process of parenting is complicated in all families as it requires the collaboration of all the family members in order to build a harmonic and strong structure. In military families, this building can be complicated by the various circumstances that could be caused by the military occupation position. Betsy Flanigan in her interview states that one of the most challenging things while living in a military family is the long term absence of the husband. The focus and the main responsibilities depend on the one that stays in the house, in this case – the mother. The statuses she ...

HRM can be traced back to the year 1950 when great scholars Drucker and McGregor saw that there is a need to have a vision and goal-directed activities in organizations.

The American and European continent seem to be the most widely associated with multiculturalism and diversity. America is a country host to millions of people belonging to various backgrounds, ethnicities, religious and races who have somehow assimilated and learned to live together. There are many questions that have been raised against the term, whether multiculturalism is beneficial for a country or does it degrade its status. The problem is that a country is mainly known for a typical kind of people establishing a certain area and living in it. For example, they might be of the same skin color, ...

According to Jay Wilkinson, the writer of Nonprofit Fundraising: Twelve Key steps to writing a grant proposal, the art of writing a grant proposal is not for the faint-hearted. It requires perseverance and determination. Grant writing, according to Wilkinson involves twelve major steps. The first step involves spelling out the need for the proposal in question. In spelling out this need, it is important to determine the project ideas, which have a potential for garnering funds. Secondly, it is important for a project to differentiate itself from other projects, which have already been written. A project must be unique ...

Recent years have seen significant changes in the economies of both Mexico and Chile. Given this, it can be useful to examine the current economic situation in Mexico and Chile, comparing the two. While many people in the United States might tend to think of these two nations as being identical in nature because of the fact that they have Hispanic cultures and the Spanish language, there are in fact many differences. For example, Mexico since the late 1990s has been able to benefit from the existence of NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement). This has allowed it ...

Research is essential for the advancement of any field of study. Nevertheless, this becomes complicated when the object of the investigation is a human, as there is an accepted guideline that one should not do harm onto a person. In order to assure proper treatment of humans, ethical committees have arisen in many parts of the world, limiting the research that may be done. However, this comes into tension when one also takes into account the notion of liberty, as the two could contradict each other. In this sense, some would argue that ethics committees should not interfere in ...

Essay

Abstract Researchers have long been exploring the various factors that affect the health condition of individuals and/or groups. They have reported the key factors that seemingly determine health outcomes for vulnerable populations, namely, socioeconomic status (e.g. income, education, and occupation), cultural practices, and social services (e.g. housing, medical care). These so-called social determinants of health largely contribute to health disparities. Health policy has also been reported to significantly influence the health condition of vulnerable population. For instance, in the U.S., health policy is more focused on 'cure' than 'prevention', which, in consequence, channels bulk of the resources toward clinical ...

Introduction

The concept of globalization, in a real sense, is the product of modern age though the existence of its weaker forms can be traced in the sixteenth century, which refers to the process through which different organizations and corporations build influence of international scope (Beck, 2010).

A better idea of this situation can be gathered from the fact that the success of large ...
