...Interview Outline Maryetta Jackson BEH 225 June 20, 2012 University of Phoenix Christopher Griffin Interview Outline I chose two people for my final paper, they happen to be a husband and wife, their names are Robert and Deb Thein, they have been married for ten years, they have two small children, they are 41 years old, the wife is about a couple months younger than her husband, I was very surprised to have Breast Cancer doctors so young my age for a fact but before keeping them as my doctors, I done a lot of research on them for one, I wanted to know what made them chose this medical field and they told me because Breast Cancer runs in both of their families. So these are the two people that I chose to speak to for my final paper because I felt comfortable with them. I hope it will be okay to interview two people instead of one, but if I have to chose one I would rather speak to the wife instead of the husband because I have more contact with her them him. Interview Questions; 1.) Does the interviewee prefer studying in a library, or at home where there are background noises and some distractions? 2.) Has the person you are interviewing taken the Myers Briggs test? Report the results. 3.) Does the interviewee think these results are accurate? Why or Why not? 4.) Which experience does this person think contributed most in the development of his or her personality? 5.) Does this person feel that...

This view of humanistic psychology shows why a humanistic approach is valuable and effective when working with patients who have a terminal illness, such as cancer. This paper will provide an example of a humanistic approach by a medical professional in providing care to a terminally ill patient. This paper will also provide a reflection of my feelings on the approach, my thoughts on how I would prefer a human service worker to work with me in such an instance, and discuss how unconditional positive regard would be presented under these circumstances. The following example is from Jill Preston’s article in the Journal of Community Nursing, Using Reflective Practice in Palliative Care (2001). Brenda is a patient who was diagnosed with breast cancer and was treated with a mastectomy and radiotherapy. Three years later, Brenda presented back pains to her physician. It was discovered that...

...documentation has been done manually. “The current lack of a software system introduces risks due to potential regulatory issues, patient safety issues due to potential missed follow-up, as well as program risks due to potential loss of funding” (Wager, Lee, & Glaser, 2009, para. 9). Implementing a new software system will benefit the Mobile Mammography Van greatly. This paper is intended to identify the process for selecting and acquiring an information system, explain how the organizations goals drive the selection process, and identify the roles each organization’s stakeholders play in the selection process. Selecting and Acquiring an Information System When an organization is selecting and acquiring a new information system there is a great deal of planning and steps they must take to implement the system properly. The first step is to establish a project steering committee. “This committee’s primary function is to plan, organize, coordinate, and manage all aspects of the acquisition process” (Wager, et. al., 2009, pg. 150). After the committee has been formed the project goals should be outlines along with the scope of the project and committee. Many questions will need to be discussed during this step. For example, the committee will need to determine the methods, processes, communication techniques, resources, and type of system that will be used through the selection and acquisition process. Once project goals and the scope of the project are defined the next...

The process in developing new drugs involves numerous stages of trial and error. According to Mahajan and Gupta (2010) on average it can cost anywhere from US$ 802million to US$ 1billion dollars to successfully develop and market new drugs and, that process can take up to 12years with on average of only 8% of them ever hitting the market. From the beginning of civilization, people have been concerned regarding the quality and safety of medicines, which I do not fault anyone because, some medicines just do not work out to be very effected and good for the human body. My purpose of this white paper is to inform you and outline the various steps and procedures that goes into developing these new drugs for cancer, the economic issues people with face today, the special needs being served and the benefits of these new drugs and methods of how they are being developed, and finally based on my research the end result once these newly developed drugs reach the consumers. The Development of New Drugs The steps involved in developing new drugs for cancer patients are very complex (Figure 1).

...Cannabis Jennifer L. Mello COM/156 Abstract I am writing this research paper not just to inform you, but to help educate you. There are many proven scientific trials and methods of medicinal cannabis. The research that I have found has truly enlightened my way of thinking. Segal, Ph.D. (2012), "The Jamestown settlers brought the marijuana plant, commonly known as hemp, to North America in 1611, and throughout the colonial period, hemp fiber was an important export. Indeed, in 1762, 'Virginia awarded bounties for hemp culture and manufacture, and imposed penalties on those who did not produce it.” (Jamestown Settlers Bring Marijuana to North America). Booth (2005). Medicinal Cannabis….what's all the hype? The therapeutic qualities are marvelous. Cannabinoids offer the following for patient’s antipastic, analgesic, antiemetic, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory actions. People who suffer from psychiatric diseases have found relief with their conditions ranging from depression, anxiety, bipolar, and similar mood disorders. The National Institute of Health, also known to many people as NIH. This organization states that medical marijuana helps a great deal with chemotherapy, and nausea. Letting the cancer patient consume food. They have also found that people who suffer from epileptic seizures that use medicinal cannabis helps to prevent them altogether. (Potter, 1998). Cancer patients who are going through chemotherapy suffer from vomiting, pain, and...

...among the records. Within the research several popular MDSS’s are analysed in order to determine the most common data mining algorithms utilized by them. Three algorithms have been identified: Naïve Bayes, Multilayer Perceptron and C4.5. Prior to the very analyses the algorithms are calibrated. Several testing configurations are tested in order to determine the best setting for the algorithms. Afterwards, an ultimate comparison of the algorithms orders them with respect to their performance. The evaluation is based on a set of performance metrics. The analyses are conducted in WEKA on five UCI medical datasets: breast cancer, hepatitis, heart disease, dermatology disease, diabetes. The analyses have shown that it is very difficult to name a single data mining algorithm to be the most suitable for the medical data. The results gained for the algorithms were very similar. However, the final evaluation of the outcomes allowed singling out the Naïve Bayes to be the best classifier for the given domain. It was followed by the Multilayer Perceptron and the C4.5.

...of plastic surgery as mentioned above is introduced. The difference between plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery is that cosmetic surgery is not needed due to a deformity or health issue whereas plastic surgery is. Cosmetic surgery is simply a procedure taken to improve a normal body structure or body feature to make it look better through surgical and medical techniques. Today, due to regular inventions and innovations in science and technology, the field of cosmetic surgery has become safer. However, no matter how good the technological advancements are, there is always the risk of not only the surgery resulting in unwanted outcomes but in some cases death may even occur which still make cosmetic surgery not worth the risk. This paper deals with cosmetic surgery. It states two major reasons why healthy and normal people undergo cosmetic surgery. It also clarifies the physical risks involved such as hematoma, scarring, blood loss, drop in blood pressure, infection, numbness due to nerve damage, unexpected result and death; psychological risks; and financial risks. 2) Two major reasons why healthy and normal people undergo cosmetic surgery There are several reasons why an individual feels the urge to use cosmetic surgery to improve his or her appearance or body feature. The two most common reasons are:...

...Methodological Issues in Management Research Lee Sechrest, PhD Professor Department of Psychology University of Arizona Room 312 Tuscon, AZ 85721 White paper prepared for the Department of Veterans Affairs Management Research in VA Workshop, sponsored by the HSR&D Management Decision and Research Center November 19-20, 2001 Methodological Issues in Management Research Managers want to make good decisions. Any decisions will, by definition, be made on the basis of some presumed information. Even if a decision were to be made by throwing dice, that process would almost certain stem from “information” indicating that no better basis for the decision could be discerned, e.g., that a randomly determined choice would be likely to be better than a decision open to bias. At least to some extent, it is axiomatic that the better the information, the better the decisions. It is useful to distinguish between data, facts, and information. Data are simply observations, usually in the form of numbers thought to represent some systematic process underlying them, i.e., a process generating the numbers. Data do not mean anything or tell us anything until they are interpreted in some way. Merely to have an observation that on a particular day 43 patients were reported to have received a particular service is not in itself meaningful. Facts are merely data elevated in confidence to a point of suggested certainty. The observation that 43 patients received a service may be...

...Nursing Professionalism: Improving Education of Nurses on the topic of Breastfeeding NUR 3100 Professor Garcia Abstract Without breastfeeding, an infant looses valuable health and nutritional benefits. The mother also has the potential to develop serious complication derived from labor. Through adequate education nurses, become more competent in encouraging and educating new mothers to breastfeed. The purpose of this paper is to explore and define the themes, roles and philosophy of Aurora University’s School of Nursing. These themes, roles and philosophies are important because they give nurses’ knowledge for which to base their professional careers on. With this base nurses are better prepared to educate the community of women on breastfeeding. Nursing Professionalism: Improving Education of Nurses on the topic of Breastfeeding In the professional nursing field nurses are expected to carry out the philosophies, themes, and roles of the nursing field. Aurora University’s School of Nursing outlines the importance of the themes, roles and philosophy so their students can one day provide patients with exemplary care. Without fully understanding the themes and roles of nurses, students will not be able to provide competent care. The roles of a nurse can be applied in many areas. One area in particular is in educating women about breastfeeding. In order for nurses to fully educate new mothers about breastfeeding, nurses must first have adequate education themselves...

...D.Min. Project Prospectus Sharon L. Smith I. Title: Bridging the Gap: A Pilot Project Aimed at Mutually Equipping Church and Business Leaders for Kingdom Impact II. The Context: Followers of Jesus Christ who possess a divine calling, talents, and gifts to work and serve God through specific voluntary or paid vocations in the workplace face daily opportunities to impact the Kingdom of God. When believers walk by faith and obedience in the revelation that God’s divine presence and purpose is with them daily in their work lives, God empowers them to lead change that can transform lives, businesses, and even nations. Believers clearly see this truth in the lives of Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, and Nehemiah. The Great Commission (Matt. 28) commands believers to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every person. This directive includes Holy Spirit-empowered witness in the marketplace with signs, wonders, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit in operation. As His priests (1 Pet. 2:5; Rom. 12:1-2), God calls believers ordained for the twenty-first century workplace to worship and serve Him through their actions, words, and works. God’s Word calls for excellence in whatever a person does (Col. 3:17). Fruitfulness follows when believers root biblical ethics in excellence, and practice it in relationships and business decisions. Anthropologists and missiologists are observing major global shifts causing leaders to revise their understanding of the notion of culture...
