...Art Appreciation Emily Yost March 12, 2011 Art is a form of work which encompasses so many things. You can have art that is from the same Era, but yet be very different. Art can consist of some of the same things which you can find in common with another time period. I want to try and take a look at three individual pieces of art belonging to the same style and era. I will then try to evaluate these works from tool s that I have learned. I have chosen the Baroque style of art. This style is known for its use of drama and high use of theatrical methods. It was a creation of the Catholic Church (Sayre, H. M. 2007, 477). This style of art developed and bloomed in Europe somewhere around the early 17th to mid 18th century. It has its emphases up on drama, swirling forms and very intricate and elaborate ornamentation. The calling of St. Mathew is one of the most magnificent masterpieces there is. This was painted by Michelangelo Mersi Da Caravaggio . The painting reached completion in 1599-1600. In this painting there appears to be a single window in the foreground. Not much light happens to be filtering through the panes (http://www.albany.edu/scj/jcjpc/vol6is3/st-matthew-calling.html). There appears to be some kind of table at which five individuals are sitting at. One appears to be looking at money, another like they just sat down. The outlook of the room appears dull and very gloomy. To the right of this art there appear to be two men. Jesus...

...The cafe serves meals, drinks, salads, desserts, snacks and sandwiches. The students are paying for the meals through students cards via an electronic payment process within the campus area. During the summit time, the waiting time creates difficulties for the students. The cafe is facing trouble of waiting time and students have already started looking for an alternative of the cafe. Mah is one of the students who is searching a way to solve the issue in order to suggest to the management of the campus so that they have noticed this issue. These service supervisors come under the oversight of manager that serves all the home services segments. The services segment has its own two levels that include the home advisers along with assistant home supervisor. However, ARM and RA who is the full-time supervisor met to talk about the issues with the home. Nottingham Hall and Cambridge Hall are sharing a number of services so that is resulted in a single supervisor that is supervising both of the residencies. RA’s and ARM are met bi-weekly to talk about the issues of Nottingham Hall residencies and Cambridge Hall. The cafeteria was designed in the manner that it has three waiting lines such as L1, L2, and L3. Line 1 is devoted to precook meals and there is the record of serving food things. Line 2 is dedicated for the interactional cooking station where students are select the key ingredients for their meals. However, line 3 is dedicated for payment of the meals. These...

...she was excited to go. Upon arriving on Sunday March 3, 2014, the first thing that stood out was the structure itself. The building is a combination of old and new, it appears old, but has modern amenities, and one can immediately tell not a single expense was spared. First impression for me was great, it usually means a lot and the building itself is very impressive. Inside, the building is just as impressive, lots of marble and ornamental trim work, and each display is positioned allowing a good close up view. My first choice of a work to describe is “A Glass Of Lemonade” by Gerard Ter Borch, which originates from the baroque art time period. This painting was purchased by Henry Walters in 1910, which he bequeathed to the Walters Art Museum. This piece depicts a poor to middle-class young man making a glass of lemonade for a young woman, possibly to convey his feelings to her. Ter Borch was known for paintings focusing on interiors and portraits, and in this piece, he makes use of the baroque characteristics, using heavy shading on the interior background, which brings focus to the subject of the young man and the glass of lemonade. My initial impression was drawn to the subject of the women and man and the glass, which I assumed it was lemonade due to the title...

...standard in place that must be followed. These are nonnegotiable, ethical standards, obligations and duties that every individual swears to when entering the nursing profession. These standards are all found within the American Nurses Association’s code of Nursing Ethics and Conduct. Whether dealing with patients and families during end of life decision making or dealing with nursing negligence within the court of law, the first provision in the code of ethics is the most imperative to remember. Nurses are always obligated to their patient’s best interest, therefore making them an unrelenting patient advocate. Many provisions are pointed out within the Nursing Code of Ethics. In the situation of dealing with Marianne’s family and medical treatments, there are many important things to consider. “The nurse respects the worth, dignity, and rights of all human beings irrespective of the nature of the health problem. The worth of the person is not affected by disease, disability, functional status, or proximity to death. This...

...interesting details concerning it. I have always felt that marijuana should be legalized, or at the very least, people with serious medical conditions should have access to it. And marijuana doesn’t even have to be legalized in my opinion, but it should definitely be decriminalized. I don’t think anyone who wants to smoke a plant that they grow themselves should have to suffer consequences, considering they are responsible in their recreational smoking. I do feel that if it were legalized, that there should be an acceptable age limit to buy and/or consume marijuana, comparable to that of alcohol. There are beneficial as well as harmful effects concerning marijuana, but that goes for a lot of things people do in everyday life. And I feel that a lot of time has been spent shining the spotlight on the harmful effects of marijuana, while little research has been done or even allowed, on the benefits of marijuana. While preparing for the debate, I encountered many sources on each end of the spectrum; including some in the middle. Many of the sources I looked at seemed rather credible, but others were most definitely biased. One example of a blatantly biased comment was, "Most pot smokers drink alcohol heavily, and may become so confused that they take cocaine or heroin.” (medicalmarijuana.procon.org). Another interesting bit of information I found was, “Medical marijuana is now a serious $1.7 billion dollar market, according to a new report released this month by an independent financial...

...promote new products and new services the ways that this can be done would be through electronic medical records, or any form of a web-based communique. Some types of communications can also make the patient feel safer and also help the organization save time and money. Electronic medical records give the patient some benefits that are to the advantage of them as well as the provider. It allows the patient to keep their medical records up to date and accurate so that way there are no problems with such things as allergies, surgeries, or medications that are being taken. This is a way for the patient to keep accurate records of their medical history as well as keeping the provider updated at all times (Brooks, R., Grotz, C.). This an effective means of communication between the patient and provider by allowing the provider to give access to some of their records that will allow the patient to adjust certain things in their lifestyle or medications without going in to see the provider for something that would not require an office visit. This type of communication can allow the provider to keep a better watch on the consumer’s progress that will allow the provider to release some test and results to the consumer and the provider can also let the consumer know exactly what the their instructions are without being misinterpreted (Brooks, R., Grotz, C.). Electronic Medical Records is a form of communication that is developed to make health care records easier to update...

...must ensure a health care ethic that respects the role of patients in decision making about treatment choices and other aspects of their care. Hospitals must be sensitive to cultural, racial, linguistic, religious, age, gender, and other differences as well as the needs of persons with disabilities (A patient’s bill of rights, 1992). To participate effectively in decision making, patients must be encouraged to take responsibility for requesting additional information or clarification about their health status or treatment when they do not fully understand information and instructions (A patient’s bill of rights, 1992). Three ethical considerations are autonomy, duty of care and risk-benefit. Ethical questions surround the concept of medical...

...Prescription Drugs In this society, most Americans use some type of prescription drug. According to this week chapter reading: “More than 80 % of U.S. adults use some form of medication, with 50 % taking a drug prescribed by a doctor. The average American fills 11 prescriptions per year spending approximately $ 771 annually (Gentzen, p. 245, 2007).” This is a true statement because I am one of those Americans who depend on prescription drugs. I have a seizure disorder that doctors have not found what cause me to have seizure. Without medication, I can have a seizure. So now I have become what society has called “addicted” to prescription drugs, when I go too long without medication, I can have a seizure at any given time. So I am glad that my team has chosen this topic to discuss. We talk about The History of Prescription Drugs, Drugs Addicts, and The steps that we believe that could be used to make a change to the present system. Prescription drugs are medicine regulated by legislation to require a prescription before it can be obtained. The term prescription drug is used separate from over-the-counter drugs that can be purchased without a prescription. In the United States, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act determines what requires a prescription. When obtaining a prescription, a person will also receive a pamphlet explaining the drug and helpful information about the effect of the drug and how it affects the body. It also describes side effects...

...definitions of euthanasia: "A gentle and easy death...[T]he means of bringing about a gentle and easy death... However, in today’s society term euthanasia includes both voluntary and involuntary termination of life. Euthanasia has many meanings. Except for involuntary euthanasia, all these terms are closely related because the victim requests the action. The only difference is who is actually committing the act, Voluntary euthanasia is a help to mentally competent person to die through the assistance of others and can be divided in two categories. Passive Euthanasia means causing the death of a person by withdrawing some form of support and letting nature take its course. For example: removing life support, stopping medical procedures, stopping food and water and allowing the person to dehydrate or starve to death, and not delivering CPR. Active Euthanasia involves causing the death of a person through a direct action, in response to a request from that person. For many people, euthanasia is a preferable option compare to loss of independence and unbearable suffering. Background Euthanasia has always been a highly controversial topic. In...

...Bloom’s Taxonomy and Nursing Care Sherrie Fetterman Health and Chronic Disease Management/NUR427 October 3, 2011 Gina Stephens Bloom’s Taxonomy and Nursing Care An estimated 99 million Americans currently suffer from a form of chronic disease and will enter the health care field unknowing what to expect (Annuals of Internal Medicine, 2011). Disease knows no boundaries nor is there any age limitations. What is consistent, is the disease inflicted patients need to learn about their disease and how to live normal lives regardless of their literary level. In 1956, Benjamin Bloom and a group of educational psychologists developed Bloom’s Taxonomy, a classification of levels of intellectual behavior important in learning. The taxonomy has three domains: the cognitive, affective and psychomotor. Each domain begins with the most basic learning level, and increases to the more intellectual level of learning. As Larsen and Lubkin states, “The teaching-learning process is characterized by multifaceted, dynamic, and interactive exchanges that are fundamental to client-family education and nursing practice” (p. 320). Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education equips nurses with the tools necessary to help patients and family members become successful in coping with their chronic illnesses. The findings of the cognitive domains represent use of knowledge and mental skills of the patient, and is further divided into 6 levels from the lowest level to the highest level...

...The number of animals killed each year in the United States alone varies between 17 and 70 million. The Animal Welfare Act (ACA) states that laboratories must report the number of animals used in experiments; yet mice, birds, and rats are not included in this figure. These animals are used in 80 to 90 percent of all animal testing. Because of this, it is impossible to calculate the exact number of animals used in such experiments (PETA, 5). Animal testing might not directly affect ordinary people each day or be an issue on everybody’s mind, yet the actions people do daily can affect animal experimentation. This has been a worldwide issue and an ongoing battle for decades. Vivisection, the practice of lab experimenting on live animals, has been around since the beginning of scientific medicine. It is an alternative to the dissection of human corpses, which resulted from religious leaders’ protests (Choose Cruelty Free). There are numerous reasons why people and organizations want animal testing changed. People of all nations and religions argue differently on this topic. Yet the main factor in deciding the moral correctness of animal experimentation is one’s personal belief. No matter which side a person takes on this topic, they feel there are several things that must be done to benefit their stance and its publicity. A group in opposition of animal testing is the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Their main claim is put as, “Animals are not ours to...

...Abstract In my previous position I worked as the Administrator for a well-established outpatient diagnostic imaging facility. As the Administrator I was faced with having to make various decisions that utilized economics on a daily basis. The decisions that I would have to make would range from very simple to very complex purchases. Regardless of the amount of the purchase the same economic considerations were utilized prior to any purchases. Introduction In my previous position as Administrator for an outpatient imaging facility I was faced with various daily decision making tasks that would range from something as simple as a supply order that would cost the company a few hundred dollars, to the decision of final equipment purchases that could cost over a million dollars. One particular instance that I was faced with was to utilize additional space within the facility for a different imaging modality. The decision at the time was not completely left up to me, but was my responsibility to present which modality I thought would benefit the company and our patients the most, and how the best options to move forward with overseeing this project. The facility offered various imaging services such as a positional stand up MRI, nuclear imaging, ultrasounds, and high quality x-rays. The new project was to fill the additional imaging room with a service based on my analysis. The options that I had were to bring in a new device to see a different set of patients,...

...involuntary euthanasia, the killing of a patient without the patient's knowledge or consent. Some call this "life-terminating treatment." Euthanasia can be either active or passive. Passive euthanasia allows one to die by withholding or withdrawing life supporting means. This is a tricky area because ordinary and extraordinary means of supporting life come into the picture. Ordinary means such as nutrition and hydration are never to be withheld since they are one's basic right in order to survive. However, one is not obliged to use extraordinary or 'disproportionate' means to sustain life. Due to complexity, each situation needs to be looked at individually when discussing extraordinary means. However, as a rule, one can discontinue "medical procedures that are burdensome, dangerous, extraordinary, or disproportionate to the expected outcome." One cannot intend death by withdrawing or withholding treatment, but should, however, obey God and let one die a natural death. To withdraw a treatment as a condition worsens is letting one die and not a direct killing. In this case, it is the disease that is killing and not the one who withdraws the treatment. Active euthanasia or' mercy killing' pertains to the Dr. Kevorkian’s' of the day. This is the direct intentional killing of a patient with either their consent (voluntary), without their consent when impossible (non-voluntary), or without consent but not sought (involuntary). Advocates of this murder have covered their ears to...
