...out of 6 of those people might not know they are infected (HIV in The United States, 2011). HIV is transmitted through body fluids such as semen, pre- semen, rectal and vaginal fluids as well as through the sharing of needles.

The populations of intravenous drug users are also at risk for catching HIV, many of them being homeless and not having access to clean needles. Symptoms of HIV may vary depending on what stage of the infection they are in, the first 4 weeks of transmission, what is called the “ worst flu ever” occurs.

A. Functional Differences Professional organizations such as the American Nurses Association were started to serve the interests of members. Associations such as these create networking opportunities, publish information of interest to members and hold seminars and workshops. Membership is not mandatory for professional associations. Regulatory agencies like the Georgia State Board of Nursing actually issues the member a license to practice within their scope in the state of issuance. These agencies set forth the requirements for the nurse to enter the profession and to practice the profession. They set up and enforce disciplinary processes for all licensees. The state board of nursing ensures compliance with the state nurse practice act which defines responsibilities of the nurse and scope of practice. B. Nursing Code Examples The right to self-determination as written in Provision 1 of the ANA code of ethics says “Respect for human dignity requires the recognition of specific patient rights, particularly, the right of self-determination.

...Situation: Starbucks is the leading specialty coffee retailer in the world. Starting from a small, humble location in Seattle’s Pike Place Market, Starbuck’s now has expanded to 12,000 cafes in 35 countries around the world. CEO Howard Schultz and his Starbucks team hopes to expand to 40,000 shops worldwide by penetrating into key markets, half of those 40,000 situated outside the U.S. Throughout its existence Starbucks has built brand equity and a established a loyal following based on the idea of convenient, high-quality specialty coffee that surpassed the taste of its competition. Like every company venturing abroad, Starbucks faced many challenges and growing pains in bringing American-style coffee into international markets. For example, in China, Starbucks faces government intervention (although policies are more relaxed presently), consumer hesitation due to the lack of coffee consumed, and different consumer behavior. Another global challenge is the global economy and competition. Starbucks also had to deal with an initial lack of acceptance from historic café culture in France, with older coffee drinkers frowning upon the big U.S. coffee chain with standardized disposable cups. Starbucks has faced challenges particularly in locations with volatile political or economic situations, such as Lebanon and Israel. Starbucks was forced to close in Israel because of the threat of terrorist attacks and was boycotted in Lebanon due to anti-war protestors. Despite...

Functional Systems Approach to Central Nervous System Evaluation Richard Belli, D.C., D.A.C.N.B. ABSTRACT Objective: This study investigates the clinical utility of testing functional systems within the central nervous system, compared to testing individual motor nerves with manual muscle testing. Design: Private practice. Study Subjects: Patients were examined by the treating chiropractor from his existing patient pool. Methods: Chiropractic management was decided on by the treating chiropractor. A series of twelve tests were designed to discover disorders of functional systems within the CNS. The tests described were to evaluate the function of 12 systems: 1) spinal cord, 2) myelencephalon/reticular formation, 3) vagal system, 4) trigeminal motor system-muscles of mastication, 5) vestibulospinal system, and bulbo reticular area, 6) reticular formation, 7) diencephalons and gait locomotion system, 8) mesencephalon, 9) cardiac sympathetic autonomic system, 10) pyramidal system, 11) limbic system, 12) sensory system. Results: This chiropractic approach tests the nervous system after provocation of functional systems...

... 2 Abstract Patients rely on health care professionals and institutions for their safety and well-being (“Quality and patient,” 2009). According to Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (2000), “medical errors are responsible for injury in as many as 1 out of every 25 hospital patients; an estimated 48,000-98,000 patients die from medical errors each year. Errors in health care have been estimated to cost more than $5 million per year in a large teaching hospital, and preventable health care-related errors cost the economy from $17 to $29 billion each year”. In addition to the monetary cost of errors, the physical and psychological costs such as pain, loss of loved ones, human suffering, disability or death are the greatest indelible mistakes. Medical errors lead to distrust of the health care system and drive patients away from visiting doctors leading to poor utilization of the health care system and consequently worse health care. Researchers estimate that about half of all medication errors are preventable. They suggest that when a medication error occurs, it is not the result of a single mistake, but rather a series of breakdowns in the health care delivery system therefore, this suggests that more checks and balances in patient care could prevent or remediate medication errors. Medical errors are significant issues affecting patient safety and costs in hospitals often posing dangerous...
