He received a below the knee amputation of his left leg. The reason that he was having his right leg amputated was because he is diabetic and has poor circulation in his right leg. The surgery did not correct his problem but instead created bigger problems, because he still has the leg with the poor circulation and will most likely still need his right leg amputated. This was a huge mistake that the hospital staff has made. The incident of the wrong leg being amputated is a result gross negligence.

And according to Hoover the theory is “a set of related propositions that suggest why events occur”. We can define theory as "Statement of a relationship between two or more propositions and concepts . which explains and/or predicts some behavior ".

They are: * UP.01.01.01 - Conduct a pre-procedure verification process. * UP.01.02.01 - Mark the procedure site. As stated in the policy "Site Identification and Verification (Universal Protocol)," the Preoperative / Preprocedure verification is a five step process. This process needs to be expanded to meet the minimum standard of care. The following corrective actions must be immediately implemented. The patient must be properly identified at the time of admission. The admissions staff will require the patient to provide proper identification while verbally verifying their name and date of birth. If the patient is unable to verify their identity, a family member or other legal representative must be able to identify the patient. Identification bands will be verified and placed on the patient as the patient is being admitted. Confirmation of the patient’s identity must be established and documented. Transferring responsibility for care of the patient to another caregiver must be documented. The receiving caregiver must verify the identity of the patient by matching the patient ID band with verbal confirmation by either the patient or the transferring caregiver. The documentation must include the time and date of the transfer, and must also be signed by both the transferring and receiving caregiver. The pre-procedure hand-off...

McKague University of Phoenix Operations Management OPS/571 Professor Peter Wilms January 14, 2015 Telehealth Services With health care costs rising many consumers, and small employers are struggling to afford their health insurance premiums.

...Our Future with Science and Technology In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, Huxley describes a chilling vision of a totalitarian society ruled by both manipulation and conditioning of its' citizens. It ways eighty one years ago that Huxley made this fictional world into a piece of literature that still resonates with his readers today. Social engineering and technology of modern society were either at its' infancy or not even created yet when Huxley wrote his book. The maturity of these ideologies and technologies that makes Brave New World touch close to home. Is it possible to bring a world of chaos to order or is it just a proclivity of the human condition? In Utopia by Sir Thomas More, the city Amaurot is the city of Hythloday's research of Utopian society. His mention of the lack of privacy among its' citizens can be very relevant to today. While we can still lock our doors and windows, close our curtains and blinds, the amount of privacy one has has been increasingly diminishing. With the advent of federal approbation of various ways of the government to invade on a person's right to privacy is a slow progression to the possibility of losing our privacy completely. Others argue that discretion of these actions should not be a worry of the common citizen. They argue that if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide. It is a way of justification of a deplorable act on our everyday privacy. And the debate will only continue to escalate as the rapid evolution...

...SOAN 225 | Gender and Poverty | | | Roy Roosevelt Fattouh | 10/4/2014 | | More than one billion in the world today, the great majority of whom are women, live in unacceptable conditions of poverty, mostly in the developing countries. Women represent 70 percent of the world's poor. They comprise more than 50 percent of the world's population but own only one percent of the world's wealth. Their lives are a litany of injustice, discrimination and obstacles that get in the way of achieving their basic needs of good health, safe childbirth, education, and employment. The sequence of discrimination that a woman may suffer during her entire life is unacceptable but all too common. Low income is the major cause that places women at high risk of poverty, and lone mothers are usually at the highest risk for extreme poverty because their income is insufficient to rear children. As the number of unmarried women increases, the diverse causes affecting their poverty must be examined. Poverty is multidimensional, and therefore, economic and socio-cultural factors overlap and contribute to the establishment of poverty. It is a phenomenon with multiple root causes and manifestations. Lack of income is a principal reason for women's risk of poverty as it deprives women of their basic needs and capabilities. As women disproportionately earn less income than men, they are deprived of basic education and health care. This deprivation passes on from one generation of women to...
