...The way a patient is transferred and positioned for a particular procedure or during rest is known as positioning the patient. Every health professional is duty-bound to protect his patients from any possible harm. One of the ways to provide this protection is in a correct position to avoid different problems associated with poor positioning. Proper positioning reduces the risk of pressure-related damage to nerves, muscle, skin, and joints.1 When the patient is misplaced for an extended period of time different complications may arise. Four of the most common complications are: 1. Skin pressure sores: Health professionals should make sure that different pressure points around osseous prominences such as iliac crest, sacrum, and heels are well-accommodated and padded. It is also important to detect signs of skin decomposition after long periods of time in the same position by a certain procedure. In this way, we can avoid pressure sores. They provide adequate equipment and auxiliary means to avoid this damage, for example, soft cushions, pillows, rollers. The purpose of using these means is that they absorb the compressive force, redistribute...

...Paula Kain Undertake agreed pressure Area care (HSC2024) Unit 4222-229 Outcome 1 1) The skin is the largest organ of the body, covering and protecting the entire surface of the body. The total surface area of skin is around 3000 square inches or roughly around 19,355 square cm depending on age, height, and body size. The skin, along with its derivatives, nails, hair, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands forms the integumentary system. Besides providing protection to the body the skin has a host of other functions to be performed like regulating body temperature, immune protection, sensations of touch, heat, cold, and pain through the sensory nerve endings, communicating with external openings of numerous other body systems like digestive system, urogenital system, and respiratory system via mucous membranes. The skin is primarily composed of three layers. The skin, which appears to be so thin, is still itself divided into epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layer or hypodermis. Each layer has its own function and own importance in maintaining the integrity of skin and thereby the whole body structure. Pressure sores or decubitus ulcers are the result of a constant deficiency of blood to the tissues over a bony area such as a heel which may have been in contact with a bed or a splint over an extended period of time. The surface of the skin can ulcerate which may become infected. Eventually subcutaneous and deeper tissues are damaged. Besides the heel, other areas commonly involved...

...Assignment on Kunst Vacuum Pumps | | | Authors (EPGP04-Section A): Abhishek Kumar Singh (EPGP-04A-005) Vivek Talwar (EPGP-04A-113) Question What are the major, quantifiable value and price elements associated with the Kunst 1600? Answer: Value elements ➢ Cost savings since it would not involve changing oil because the Kunst 1600 is an oil-free vacuum pump. ➢ Higher revenues, and therefore profits, due to higher output of the Kunst 1600 in lower pressure settings. These resulting higher profits are only generated in the light commercial refrigerator repair segments because in these segments the technicians can complete more jobs with a faster pump (the Kunst 1600) in comparison to the more traditional pumps. Price elements ➢ According to the respondents in the focus groups, the anticipated lifetime of their current vacuum pumps is around five years. Though, wholesale managers stipulate that most repair firms do not keep track of their vacuum pump purchases and overestimate pump lifetime. Managers also claimed that they tracked customer firm purchases via their electronic point-of-sale systems leading them to conclude that, with sensible care, the pumps can be used for between...

...that transcend preference, prejudice, fear, and competitive jockeying. The courtroom drama, as a result, is usually a loud wake-up call as well, a reminder that there are such common truths.” ability to discern the behavioral signals of people—their often subtle but very real concerns, needs, orientation, and disposition. This is what we mean by empathy. Researchers have hypothesized—and found evidence to support—a positive correlation between this cognitive “sixth sense” and effective leadership. In short, leaders who are more empathic are better able to reach the fulcrum of their followers’ judgment. Perhaps the most obvious is having the courage of our convictions, especially in the face of pressure from others. The lead character – played by Henry Fonda – is under significant pressure form his fellow jurors, but he is determined to explore all of the evidence before he reaches a conclusion. He chooses principles over expediency. Important decisions should be given time. In the movie, a boy’s life is in the balance – if found guilty, he will be executed. So Fonda’s character (called Davis) wants to talk things through, not to rush to a snap, potentially prejudiced decision. Davis sees the importance of influencing others. He builds...

What is the boundary between earning management and fraudulent reporting ? Fraudulent reporting is a form of aggressiveWhen a company is in a down turn in business | Earnings management "Earnings management" occurs when managers use judgment in financial reporting and in structuring transactions to alter financial reports to either mislead some stakeholders about the underlying economic performance of a company or influence contractual outcomes that depend on reported accounting numbers.[3] Earnings management usually involves the artificial increase (or decrease) of revenues, profits, or earnings per share figures through aggressive accounting tactics. Management wishing to show earnings at a certain level or following a certain pattern seek loopholes in financial reporting standards that allow them to adjust the numbers as far as is practicable to achieve their desired aim or to satisfy projections by financial analysts. These adjustments amount to fraudulent financial reporting when they fall 'outside the bounds of acceptable accounting practice'...

...An Ethical Dilemma (Chapter 6) Lael Mathews has to decide between three different people to promote to manager. One is a thirty-four year old African American female, one is a fifty-seven year old Caucasian man, and the third one is a twenty-seven year old Asian American. They all have three different situations and problems of their own. Lael Mathews know each ones background which makes it even harder to make a decision as to which one deserves and will best fit the position. Liz is the thirty four year old African American who is divorced, has one child, been in the company four years, has a high energy level, and graduated in the lower half of her college class. Roy is the fifty seven year old Caucasian who is married, has three children, been with the company twenty years, energy level is average to low, and graduated in the top half of his class. And lastly Quang is the twenty-seven year old Asian American who is single, no kids, been with the company three years, works sixty hours a week, and graduated top three percent of her class. Advantages and Disadvantages of each Candidate Liz only really has maybe two advantages and that would be that if she was chosen she would be the first African American female to manager at that level and she has a high energy level meaning she is willing to put forth the effort. Now her disadvantages would be her academic credentials, her job experience, and the fact that her child has had many medical issues that could cause...

...Subject: Converging-diverging nozzle experiment In this experiment, we used manometers to measure the pressures in the nozzle relative to atmospheric pressure. A water manometer is connected to the inlet pressure tap (P0-P1) and also connected to the throat (P0-P2) and downstream (P0-P3) pressure taps as well. To start this lab we adjusted the flow rate to increase (P0-P3) in equal steps of 2.5 inches of water until the nozzle is choked, which means there is no further increases in (P0-P2) and (P0-P1). For each step, we recorded the readings from all manometers. We did this experiment twice and averaged all readings and calculated the mass flow rate from (P0-P1) assuming incompressible flow in this region and a discharge coefficient of 0.96 after collecting all the data. Then we plotted the mass flow rate vs. (P0-P3) and plot (P0-P2) vs. (P0-P3). This allowed us to compare the limiting values of throat velocity and pressure ratio (P2/P0) with theoretical values based on isentropic flow and also to find conditions that gave choked flow. We needed to use critical pressure ratio, theoretical critical pressure ratio, and theoretical velocity to help us to find choked flow. The purpose of this lab is to simulate the operation of a converging diverging nozzle, which perhaps is one of the most important and basic pieces of engineering hardware associated with the high speed flow of gases. This experiment is intended to help engineers of compressible aerodynamics visualize the flow...

They function to transport air to the air sacs of the lungs (the alveoli) where gas exchange occurs. The process of transporting and exchanging gases between the atmosphere and the body cells is respiration. The process of taking in air is known as inspiration, while the process of blowing out air is called expiration. A respiratory cycle consists of one inspiration and one expiration. The point of respiration is to allow you to obtain oxygen, eliminate carbon dioxide, and regulate the blood’s pH level. Respiration rate (breaths per minute) and depth (volume of air inhaled and exhaled with each breath) varies due to changes in blood chemistry that are monitored by the brain. For example, when you exercise, demand for oxygen increases because the cells require more ATP. In turn, more carbon dioxide is produced by cells and diffuses to the blood. The rise in carbon dioxide leads to a decrease in pH, causing the blood to be more acidic. The brain is especially sensitive to pH levels; as pH levels...
