...the influence of key issues relating to ethical theories and decision-making, illness journeys and lay and professional perspectives will be explored. Principles of nursing models will be looked at and their contribution to individual patient care. I will also look at resource management, quality assurance and the role of evidence-based practice. For the purpose of this essay, to maintain confidentiality, the patient will be referred to as Mr Charlie Wood, (NMC code of professional conduct 2002; 5.1). Incident The incident occurred when I was a student on a medical ward. Mr. Wood, age 80 had been admitted to hospital following a stroke. From this he had lost the ability to mobilise and speak effectively. He was a very dependent gentleman and counted on the nurses to undertake all aspects of his care. His wife, whose name has also been changed for confidentiality reasons (NMC 2002), was very dedicated to him and stayed most days. As a student nurse I spent a lot of time looking after Mr. Wood’s needs and also helping Mrs. Wood emotionally. I found myself becoming very emotionally attached to the couple and became very upset when he passed away. I had a mixture of feelings throughout my time with Mr.Wood. I...

...SAmbrose Saint Blessing and Official Opening of the New Building 8 October 2012 HEAD MASTER’S WELCOME "And if you have faith, everything you ask for in prayer you will receive." - Matthew 21:22 In June of 2006, after six fruitless years of campaigning for new buildings, Saint Ambrose College was selected to become a ‘One School Pathfinder’. This was to be an opportunity for the Local Authority and the College to set up and test a joint approach to educational transformation. The journey took longer than intended, six years instead of the allocated three; the Lord clearly wanted us to spend more time in the design and planning! The Celtic cross was chosen by Blessed Edmund Rice, our founder, to become a symbol of the Congregation of Christian Brothers. It is the cross which appears on the badges of all our schools and colleges. Now it carves out that shape in the Manchester landscape proclaiming our Faith to all. The interior of the building emphasises the religious community which is at the heart of our College. The learning wings provide enhanced teaching and sporting facilities and embrace the IT age like never before. We must always remember that this is not a new College, it is a new building. The College continues to be an amalgam of past and present students and staff whose shared commitment to Edmund Rice Education has made it unique. Edmund would be proud of what we have built but even prouder of how it will transform the lives and learning...

...companies to remain productive it is imperative that they continue to develop new products and services, determine the best methods to attract consumers, and figure out ways to remain competitive regardless of their competitors. More importantly, develop a gradual recovery in passenger traffic from 9/11 terrorist attacks. Discuss Jet Blue’s strategic intent. Jet Blue’s strategic intent was to become the “Best domestic airline”, “Best domestic airline for value”, “Best overall airline”, and “bring humanity back to air travel” (Thompson, Strickland, and Gamble, 2009) while making a profit for the company and improve capacity management, cost reduction and provide high quality service. As a low-cost airline in a very competitive market their goal was to never cancel flights and provide entertainment on board their airlines. David Neeleman’s goal was to “create a low fare discount airline that replica a small cozy den like those in people’s homes” (Thompson, Strickland, and Gamble, 2009).This led to many different challenges. Over the years its strategic intent became to eliminate unnecessary expenses while providing high quality services and still carry the reputation of being a fun airline.

...Children and Advertising Advertising is used by organizations as a marketing tool to create brand awareness, persuade consumers, and motivate them to buy. For organizations, consumers play a huge role in helping a firm determine the creation and implementation of an advertising campaign. In an article in Advertising Society and Review the author notes that, “American children view an estimated 40,000 commercials annually” (O'Barr, 2008). Thus, children have the potential to actively participate in family buying decisions. In order to successfully design an advertising campaign towards children, organizations must understand children’s role as consumers, the effect they have on the advertising industry, and how advertising to children helps businesses achieve their objectives. For advertising to children to be advantageous, advertisers must recognize a child’s buying behavior and purchasing power. Advertising to children is defined as using various advertising mediums to promote toys, food, music, films, and clothing to young consumers. Marketers refer to these young consumers as Generation Y. This generation that makes up approximately 28.6% of the population includes toddlers, tweens and teens. Generation Y makes up three distinct markets that include: 1) the primary market 2) the influence market – parental yielding and 3) the future market (McNeal, 1998). Within the primary market, advertisers must see children as an audience that has the capability to purchase...

...Successful discharge planning is not something that should be initiated when the patient is ready to go home, but should be discussed prior to the surgery being performed if possible. The total hip replacement that Mr. Trosack is recovering from was not a planned surgery so case management should have begun working on this once he was admitted to the floor postoperatively. Healthcare Issues and Their Importance There are numerous healthcare issues that must be considered in discharge planning for Mr. Trosack to ensure that medical, social and functional issues related to his recovery have been evaluated. Safety is a very important healthcare issue that must be addressed prior to discharge. As with most patients over the age of 65, Mr. Trosack is at high risk for a fall for various reasons. 33% of this age group experience one fall per year and commonly involve falling down stairs or steps (Heasley, Buckley, Scally, Twigg, & Elliott, 2005). He lives on the second floor of an apartment building that has no elevator so he must maneuver a long flight of steps to enter or leave his apartment. In addition to this, he has a small apartment that is cluttered with WWII .memorabilia and furniture which increase his chances of tripping and falling. Mr. Trosack has recently been diagnosed with hypertension and noninsulin dependent diabetes which will present another healthcare issue and result in a lifestyle change for him. Previously, he was not taking any prescription medications and...

...Judge Dava J. Tunis, writing as the special referee in the Florida bar disciplinary case involving anti-game and anti-porn lawyer Jack Thompson, went beyond the Bar's recommendation for a ten year suspension from the practice of law, and came down in favor of permanent disbarment without leave to petition for reinstatement. She wrote: Over a very extended period of time involving a number of totally unrelated cases and individuals, the Respondent has demonstrated a pattern of conduct to strike out harshly, extensively, repeatedly and willfully to simply try to bring as much difficulty, distraction and anguish to those he considers in opposition to his causes. He does not proceed within the guidelines of appropriate professional behavior, but rather uses other means available to intimidate, harass, or bring public disrepute to those whom he perceives oppose him. An "activist" is a person who makes enemies lists. Activism frequently results in a feedback loop that is harmful to the well being of the activist. After all, if you have a cause, it is likely that someone will applaud you for taking a stand. Eventually, the world becomes black and white. Your only true friends are those who are willing to applaud your every action. Everyone else is an enemy. This seems to be one of the things going on in Jack Thompson's case. Dr. Karl Menninger called paranoia the inoperable cancer of psychiatry: and paranoia is also one of the fruits of activism. Frankly, Mr. Thompson seems to be...

...Emma Elliott CRJ 202 Mr. Scott March 11, 14 Fingerprints For over a century, law enforcement agencies, forensic laboratories, and penal courts worldwide have used fingerprint impressions as reliable and conclusive evidence to identify perpetrators of criminal activity. Although fingerprint identification has been repeatedly proven as one of the most robust and definite forensic techniques, a measure of the rate at which latent fingerprints degrade over time has not been established effectively. Ideally, criminal investigators should be able not only to place any given individual at a crime scene but also be able to date the moment any latent fingerprints were deposited at the location. The present report aims to determine particular visual patterns of degradation of latent fingerprints exposed to certain monitored laboratory conditions simulating those in the field. Factors considered include temperature, relative humidity, air currents, composition of fingerprint depositions (sebaceous and eccrine), various exposures to daylight (direct, penumbra, and darkness), and type of physical substrate (glass and plastic) over a period of 6 months. The study employs a titanium dioxide-based powder as developer. Our results indicate that, contrary to common belief, certain latent fingerprints exposed to direct sunlight indoors degrade similarly to those in the dark where environmental conditions are more constant. While all sebaceous latent fingerprints on glass are still useful...

...Andy Cheung, McDonald's Franchisee, Forced Out After Allegations Of Worker Exploitation The Huffington Post | By Bonnie Kavoussi Posted: 03/14/2013 6:52 pm EDT A franchisee who owns three McDonald's restaurants in Harrisburg, Pa., has left the company after allegations of worker exploitation. Foreign guest workers -- students from Asia and Latin America -- employed by the franchisee, Andy Cheung, allege that he forced them to work shifts of up to 25 hours and pay steep rent for living in his and his son's crowded basements, according to The Nation. The workers also allege that Cheung did not pay them for all of the hours they worked and that he retaliated against them for going on strike by locking them out of their living quarters. The guest workers paid as much as $3,000 apiece to come to the U.S. on temporary visas as part of a State Department exchange program, according to the National Guestworker Alliance, which is representing the workers. The group says Cheung deducted rent from the workers' paychecks, pushing their pay below the minimum wage. "We were living 6 men in a basement, on bunk beds that were clearly made [for] children and one tiny bathroom," Jorge Rios, an Argentinian college student who started working for Cheung in December, told CNNMoney. The workers have filed complaints with both the Labor Department and the State Department. Danya Proud, a McDonald's spokeswoman, told The Huffington Post in a Thursday statement that the company has taken...

...Running head: CALIFORNIA PRISON COSTS 1 California Prison Health Care Costs CALIFORNIA PRISON COSTS Health care is defined as (CDC, 2013) the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention 2 of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental impairments in humans. Everyone has to deal with it in one way or another. Once a person becomes an adult they are responsible for their own health. Within the state of California, in looking at the stats from the Center for Disease and Control (CDC, 2013) adults from the ages of 18-64, 21.3%, do not have any type of health insurance. 64.2% have private insurance and 15.9% have public insurance. Specifically looking at the California Department of Corrections 100% of all inmates are 100% covered with health care requirements. Currently there are approximately (Onishi, 2013) 120,000 inmates in the 33 California Prisons and the average cost is $16,000 a year per inmate with a state budget of $2 billion dollars. It is absolutely unbelievable to comprehend the situation. In a recent article by KPBS (Faryon, 2010) they identified that Richard Lauranzano an inmate at California Medical Facility, Vacaville, one of 35,000 inmates serving a life sentence learned he had stage 4 non-hodgkins lymphoma. Richard Lauranzano now states "The prison system saved my life. They sent me to outside hospitals, they never hesitated. I went through extreme chemo. And I beat it," said Lauranzano. (Faryon, 2010) stated last year, the state spent $500 million...
