...Herbal Supplements The FDA should regulate herbal supplements as it ensures safety for the consumer. If taken properly, herbal supplements have great benefits. The problem is that there simply is not enough regulation of the herbal supplements. Many herbal supplements can be dangerous if taken incorrectly. What’s worse, people simply do not have enough information about the benefits and risks of herbal supplements. A great example of the lack of regulation is overuse of Ephedra. A while back, people started taking mass amounts of Ephedra in order to lose weight. It ended in a great amount of deaths, causing the FDA to take measures against makers of medicines containing Ephedra. Because it was considered an herbal supplement, it did not have the same scrutiny as synthetic drugs. Herbal supplements can be just as powerful as synthetic drugs, so the same vigilance in regulation should apply. Also, harmful ingredients sometimes end up in herbal supplements, which present an entirely new risk. If herbal supplements were more closely monitored, there would be a better chance of preventing this from happening. Because of the lack of regulation, consumers do not have any assurance that what they are buying is safe. Consumers need that assurance, especially when it comes to health products. There also is not very much awareness about herbal supplements. People do not realize how powerful some herbal supplements are. Many people hold the mistaken belief that herbal supplements...

...Critical Thinking – PHI 210 The Accuracy of Our Senses The ability for a person to learn how something smells, tastes, looks, sounds and feels is directly related to senses (Kirby & Goodpaster, 2007). A human’s sense organs are their nose, tongue, eyes, ears and skin (Sensitivity, 2005). These organs have the ability to interpret sensations causing the body to have reflex reactions that do not require thought (Sensitivity, 2005). This is proof of sensory information and data collection, given how a person reacts to certain events. Take for instance a thunderstorm; all five senses can help someone know that a storm is coming. A person can see storm clouds forming, hear the sound of thunder, smell the rain ahead, feel the temperature change, and even taste the rain falling. The ability to retain this information is what helps enable the senses (Sensory System, 2011). Retention and repetition help the body sense that something will happen by learning to relate these interactions to a thunderstorm. The old wife’s tale of feeling a storm in one’s bones is better expressed as the change in barometric pressure causing discomfort in the joints, but it is the body sensing this discomfort and the brain relating the discomfort to its known cause, a storm. Another aspect is our adaptation or compensation of senses. If you take away a person’s sight, the body typically adapts more acute hearing (Maloof, 2011). If you take away a person’s ability to hear, deaf people develop...

Considering how I think records management procedures have had to respond to this piece of legislation. In accordance with Federal Law, the Patient Self- Determination Act provides every competent adult and emancipated minor are to be informed that they have the right to decide their own decision on what medical care or treatment they accept, reject, or discontinue. The effect of the Patient Self-Determination Act has given each patient the right to choose what is best for them upon their beliefs. And the advance directives protect their rights when making these decisions. The act also protects the health care institutions when the agency has to decide what is best for the patient as well. Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, a draft for a durable power of attorney will be written in case the patient becomes mentally incapacitated; this is a document appointing an agent to act for a patient in the event of incompetence and will take effect immediately. The agency can not make the decision for the patient unless they are unable to make the decision themselves. Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Order, is request not to be given CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) if the patient heart stops or stops breathing given by the patient. ...

...“Inventory Management Systems” Strayer University Joshua Watson Prof. Irene Hoskins CIS 210 (Systems Analysis and Development) April 15, 2015 After discussing your frustration with managing your clothing stores’ inventory using a manual software, I researched and developed a low-cost plan that will implement an automated inventory system to track better inventory. Though our discussion was brief, your business issues seem straight forward. There are a few variable that will require further clarification in order to ensure you have the best tools at your disposal. Information such as # of employees, estimation of inventory, transaction history, and most important, budget are all details required to tailor your automated systems. I am assuming you are currently using an “Excel” type tracking tool to manage your inventory. If you continue to use this type of manual software, there are certain pitfall associated with these types of tools. Excel can’t provide you with real-time inventory tracking. Part of the reason you are frustrated with your tracking system is due to the constant manual changes. Another issue is the lack of error monitoring. Since you manually enter your inventory information, you are the last line of defense when it comes to error monitoring. As your business expands, you will look to add employees. When this occurs, if your business still operates using Excel, you will have limited user access control, and this...

...Strayer University Assignment 5 The Government has a Right to Control What We Eat ISMAIL DEMIRKIRAN PHI 210 Prof, Mccormak Anthony June, 13, 13 We are living in a world of extreme rules and regulations. There was a time when people joked about asking officials before eating their food, and well, the time has arrived. Governments are controlling the food that goes in our mouths. This paper presents a critical analysis on a very crucial topic of today’s time i.e. the government has a right to control what we eat. This paper presents a detailed over view of how the government has been already controlling our food and what the main reason behind this control of government, along with its conflict with human rights in general. There are several aspects to look at this topic. The approach governments are taking on order to end the maniac of obesity, and unhealthy diet habits amongst the people is understandable, however people who hold the right to freedom shall also have the right to eat what is under their budget. Not every man can afford a nice and healthy meal three times a day. The idea of fast food chain was introduced because of the lack of time that busy workers faced in their daily routines and these fast food restaurants provided quick services to their consumers without the mayhem of standing in quos or waiting for their orders (Insel, Ross, Bernstein, & McMahon, 2012). The government, however, already does control our diet in a major way. Spread...

...Running head: THE FUTURE OF ECOTOURISM The Future of Ecotourism Monique Davis University of Phoenix Travel and Tourism: Work, Pleasure, and Forever Enriching HTT/210 Richard Griffin September 28, 2014 The Future of Ecotourism The Cayman Islands is an excellent holiday spot for many tourists, nevertheless, due to an increase in tourism the island has required development to keep up with the vacationist's demands. These developments have both a definite and adverse effect on the islands. Tourism is vital for the island inhabitants because it produces continual revenue to the island and provides positions for the locals. There is a downside to tourism that consists of management of resources and not restoring them. It is crucial to the island in restoring resources and conditioning everyone to pull together to maintain a green environment so that tourism does not turn the islands into a wasteland, so tourists stop vacationing there. The Grand Cayman Island is on one of the three islands of the Cayman Islands and is the largest of the three, hence the title, Grand Cayman Island. The island has approximately 50,000 residents and extends over 76 square miles (Grand Cayman Island Department of Tourism, 2014). There are many activities and attractions on the island that spread throughout the island from the four corners to the heart of the island (Grand Cayman Island Department of Tourism, 2014). There are shopping facilities from the upscale to the locals that sell everything...

...The Patient Self-Determination Act of 1990 required consumers to be provided with informed consent, information about their right to make advance health care decisions. This act is also called advance directives. The act requires that patients be given information about state laws that impact legal choices in making health care decisions. Health care facilities in every state are required by this act to notify patients 18 or older of their right to have an advance directive in their medical records. Advanced directives include living wills; do not resuscitate (DNR) orders, medical power of attorney, health care proxy, or organ or tissue donation. Every patient must be informed in written form by health care facilities of the laws in their state that are related to advance directives. Every patient has to sign the advance directive notification form stating that they have been informed of their right to have advance directives. This provides proof for the facility that they have informed the patient. This form has made laws concerning patients right’s stricter. Records management procedures have had to make some changes to the way they do things in order to respond to this legislation. They have had to make sure when a patient comes to the hospital that they find out if they have advanced directives. Before this act this was not a question they asked when you came to the hospital. Doctor’s and the health care team have to pay closer attention to what the patient wants and do as...

Orientation is not just something that happens on the first day, but it is something that is included throughout the training process. In the beginning of the hiring process we can begin the orientation by explaining the job description to the potential employee as well as any company history, and any pay information.
