... CARE PROVISION BY JACQUELINE WALKER HEALTH, SOCIETY & SOCIAL CARE INTRODUCTION The purpose of this essay is to write a patient case study surrounding the care of an in- patient at the local hospital where I was on placement. It should allow the reader to focus, on the appraisal of the nursing model used in practice during the patients care. The social and cultural components of care that demonstrate the authors’ knowledge, and awareness of the patients needs and beliefs, any health promoting activities and patient education opportunities undertaken. Inter/ Multidisciplinary teams approach to care provision and access to specific services and facilities will also be included. I would like to take this opportunity to state that confidentiality will be maintained throughout this work. All true names and clinical settings changed, in order to protect the patients’ identity in line with the NMC (2004) guidelines on confidentiality, which states, “that we must protect confidential information”. Therefore, the patient will be referred to as “Rick”, his wife Shelia, the clinical setting as “the ward” and the geographical environment as “the local hospital”. In addition to this, I would also like to say that whilst asking for permission, I explained to the patient what my study would be about, that all confidentiality would be maintained, and that he would not, in any way be able to be recognised by any other persons who should read it. I waited...

Wishful thinking Sure, I’ve heard that it’s better to not eat cheeseburgers every day, but it’s extra protein and protein is good for you. “Argument” from popularity From a conspiracy theorist: “Come on, everyone knows that the government has lied to us in the past. This case isn’t any different.” Hasty generalizing My friend, who goes to college in another state, said girls from that sorority are mean. That girl we just met, Tracy, is from the same sorority, so I don’t trust her “Argument” from outrage From one mom to another: “I can’t believe Shelia lets her kids watch that garbage! I always knew she wasn’t very strict. Now our kids will be over there watching that junk, too!” Straw man From one politician about another: “He’s a two-faced, liberal, anti-family, anti-values idealist!” Post hoc If it weren’t for the president’s environmental policy, we wouldn’t be dealing with these environmental catastrophes.

...In this study the writer will show that the children of these families are affected dramatically both negatively and positively? Problem Statement Children being raised in single parent homes have a higher chance of poverty, delinquency and high school failure. Background of Study The US census bureau reported that 30 percent of children live in a single parent home. Are children that are raised by one parent verses both parent receiving the short hand of the deal? Children with single parents were twice as likely to have psychiatric disorders, attempt suicide, and abuse alcohol, and three to four times more likely to use narcotic drugs”.(The Lancet,25 January 2003.) In 2009 the New York Times found that the time spent with a single parent during the formative preschool years seems to have particularly bad effects on a boy’s education,” (Shelia Fitzgerald Krein,, 2009.) Single mothers who work outside the home appear to provide greater incentive as role models for their daughters than there sons, The role-model influence in the case of the girls appears to compensate for the loss of the mother’s time at home. Children from single parent homes are much more likely to receive poor grades and eventually drop out of school (Quinlan, Robert J. (2003). Furthermore “young adults who were raised in single parent homes often gain inferior education, employment, and economic status (Quinlan, Robert J. (2003). The Purpose of Study The purpose of this study was to...

...CASE ANALYSIS NIKE THE SWEATSHOP DEBATE Summary of the Facts Nike was established in 1972 by former University of Oregon track star Phil Knight. ... Nike has $10 billion in annual revenues and sells its products in 140 countries. ... Nike has been dogged for more than a decade by repeated accusations that its products are made in sweatshops where workers, many of them children, slave away in hazardous conditions for less than subsistence wages. ... Many reporters, TV shows, companies and organizations have repeatedly exposed negative comments towards Nike. For example, a “48 Hours” news report aired on October 17, 1996 regarding a Nike factory in Vietnam, which was visited by reporter Roberta Baskin. The reporter discovered that Nike hired millions of workers who are literate, disciplined, and desperate for jobs at wages lower than minimum wage. Another example of the criticism against Nike came from a newsletter published by Global Exchange. The newsletter uncovered that the majority of Nike shoes were made in Indonesia and China, countries with governments that prohibit independent unions and set the minimum wage at rock Nike: The Sweatshop Debate The purpose and intent of this paper is to describe the legal, cultural, and ethical challenges that face the Nike Corporation in their global business ventures.

...Case Study - Gain Sharing at Circle Works Shelia, gain sharing at Circle Works could be an effective process because “gainsharing is best described as a system of management in which an organization seeks higher levels of performance through the involvement and participation of its people. As performance improves, employees share financially in the gain. It is a team approach; generally all the employees at a site or operation are included” (Masternak, n.d.). Per my understanding, your company management does not want to participate in this. When you go in and discuss this with your company President you need to present the advantages and disadvantages of this plan to him. Let him review the advantages and disadvantages and let him give you some feedback on how he would like to proceed. Even if your President does not like some of the components in setting up a gain sharing program, it is possible to develop a plan that will best suit your company based of the three known models of the Scanlon, Rucker and Improshare plans. Let us take a look at the advantages of incorporating a successful gainsharing plan for Circle Works. First, “a group incentive system that provides participating employees with an incentive payment based on improved company performance for increased productivity, increased customer satisfaction, lower costs or better safety records” (Masternak, n.d.). Other advantages of the plan include companies have higher improvements in performance. Who would not...

Today, as we approach a second global recession, helping people learn how to translate a “great idea” into a real business will play a role in speeding the beginning of a new recovery. For that reason, I have made several significant changes to this course. First, I have done away with the individual midterm. The “next” recovery will be a group effort. So will your midterm. Second, I have assigned you two books. These are the best books out there on how to think about innovation and then translate your thoughts into a business that can make things that people want to buy. They will become “let me read that again,” go-to books that you will use long after you graduate from UT. Third, I am going to press myself and all of you harder than I ever have. I fear that this new global recession will be deeper and more destructive than the one that hit...

...As Mike Waterson's opinions were considered above the opinions of the robotics department, this decision was not just. \subsection{The Waterfall Model} \subsubsection{The Decision} The Waterfall Model of software development was chosen over the Prototype Model, courtesy of Sam Reynolds. \subsubsection{Background} Sam Reynolds, due to his background in data processing, chose the Waterfall Model, which he was more familiar with, over the Prototyping model, which was supported by his staff and was a superior choice for the project. The use of the Waterfall Model led to a product that was difficult for operators to use, which contributed the incident. \subsubsection{Analysis} Again, Sam Reynolds' decision was being considered above the opinions of most other employees in the robotics decision, which was unfair. \subsection{The Early Shipping} \subsubsection{The Decision} The robot arm was shipped out, despite being unfinished and was internally known to be buggy....

...U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation 2012 The Strategic Information and Operations Center at FBI Headquarters is the 24/7 command post that monitors FBI operations and law enforcement activities around the globe. An FBI agent examines a potentially contaminated letter during a white powder training exercise. 2012 The FBI Story I A Message from FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, III For the FBI and its partners, 2012 was a year that reminded us once again of the seriousness of the security threats facing our nation. During the year, extremists plotted to attack—unsuccessfully, thanks to the work of our Joint Terrorism Task Forces—the U.S. Capitol, the New York Federal Reserve Bank, and other landmarks on U.S. soil. Tragically, on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, a hateful attack in Benghazi took the lives of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans. In the cyber realm, a rising tide of hackers took electronic aim at global cyber infrastructure, causing untold damages. High-dollar white-collar crimes of all kinds also continued to siphon significant sums from the pocketbooks of consumers. And in Newtown, Connecticut, 20 young children and six adults lost their lives in one of the worst mass shootings in American history, ending a year of violence that saw similar tragedies around the country. Working with its colleagues around the globe, the FBI is committed to taking a leadership role in protecting the nation. As you can see from...

...Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thailand, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn common, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscommunication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to assist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used...
