...militarily with lost ground swiftly regained by the United States and South Vietnam, the battle within the city of Hue took over a month. The North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and Viet Cong’s (VC) surprise infiltration and assault on the eve of the Tet holiday allowed them to seize most of the key structures within the city. The only major holdouts were the 1st Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) regiment’s command post within the Mang Ca compound to the north and the U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV) compound across the river to the south. The enemy gains included the Citadel, a portion of the city north of the Huong River surrounded by a moat and large stone walls. Fighting to regain the Citadel would take the better part of two weeks and continue to cost American lives. Though the U.S. and South Vietnam forces would ultimately destroy the invaders and declare victory, the Battle of Hue is considered one of the most important events influencing American public opinion of the war and eventually leading to U.S. withdrawal. Due to an essentially nonexistent intelligence estimate of NVA numbers and a restrictive Rules of Engagement (ROE) initially, over the first few days, many U.S. casualties were sustained and the Communist forces were able to consolidate their gains and prepare defenses for the inevitable counterattack. After several unsuccessful patrols projected from the MACV compound after orders radioed from General Foster LaHue, Colonel Stanley Hughes was placed in...

...Germany Vs United States Health Care Systems Tarrah Schefke Mary Dunbar HSC 111 Paula Dixson Germany Vs United States Health Care Systems Mention European health care to an American, and it probably conjures up a negative stereotype — high taxes, long waiting lines, rationed care. It's not that way in Germany. Very little tax money goes into the system. The lion's share comes, as in America, from premiums paid by workers and employers to insurance companies. German health benefits are very generous. And there's usually little or no wait to get elective surgery or diagnostic tests, such as MRIs. It's one of the world's best health care systems, visible in little ways that most Germans take for granted. Dental Care in Germany vs. United States Dental care in Germany is very similar to the dental care that we have in the United States. In Germany, costs for dental care is ranked amongst the highest in Europe, while public healthcare costs consume a large portion of their national budget (Going to the Dentist in Germany, 2012). The downside to this is that an increasing number of dental treatments are excluded from reimbursement by public health care plans. Also, in Germany there is a two-tier insurance program, which offers different levels of dental insurance coverage. The costs of your yearly dental health routine are covered by all standard dental health plans. This includes two annual check-ups, teeth cleanings, and basic fillings (Going to the Dentist in Germany...

...HE0930A CASE STUDY | 1104964 | Jane Smith aged 16 years, was diagnosed with diabetes aged 7. Last month, whilst attending the practice nurse’s diabetes review clinic Jane expresses concerns that over the past few weeks her blood sugar readings have been elevated. She does not want to increase the dosage of her twice daily insulin regime as she is worried that this will cause her to gain weight. 1. What is meant by the terms anticipatory care, self care and self management? (15%) 2. Critically discuss why current Scottish health policy is actively promoting the self care and self management of long-term conditions. (25%) 3. Critically discuss the practice nurse’s role in supporting Jane to self- manage her long term condition (60%). A long term condition (LTC) can be defined as a prolonged health issue that never goes away and is very rarely cured (Magerson and Trenoweth 2010). These conditions require different degrees of on-going care and support tailored to the individual (Scottish Executive 2009). The government has realised that effective management of these LTC’s is one of the biggest challenges that healthcare faces (McVeigh 2009). This essay will focus on the above case study, defining anticipatory care, self-care and self-management, and analyse and explore current Scottish health policy in relation to self-management and self-care. A fundamental part of this essay will discuss the nurses’ role in supporting Jane to self-manage her diabetes. ...
