...This reflection will discuss skills development, professional awareness and personal development over the past seven weeks whilst on placement with a Primary Care Dementia Practitioner. I will be using Rolfe’s model of reflection which describes the event and the facts, then goes onto discuss why this has been important with the use of an appropriate evidence base and finally to discuss what could be done in the future to improve future practice and make recommendations (Jasper ) What Whilst working in the area described I was able to visit newly referred clients who may be experiencing short term memory difficulties. Our role is to initially visit the client and gain a background history including place of birth, school, past careers up until the problems experienced started. Most of the time a spouse or family member is with the client. We then do a memory assessment by using the Addenbrookes Cognitive Examination – ACE-III (British Association of Occupational Therapists, 2012) The results of this assessment are then scored and along with recent Dementia Screening Bloods and an ECG.(North West Dementia Centre,2005) I then liaise with a consultant to determine a diagnosis and treatment which may be suitable, and write to the clients GP detailing the history, presentation, assessment results, diagnosis and any treatment prescribed. This letter will also go to either the client if they have requested it or the care if the client has given permission as required on a Data...

...Mike and Mike questions Team Members Team Members – MEE 1. _________ I am so excited to talk about building a high performing team with you. Having been a professional football player I was always baffled by how we struggled to get everyone aligned and working towards the same goal. At Chili’s you are believers in the Egg Model which starts with leaders, how do you use this information to insure you are creating the right environment for your team? 2. Maybe if my football team had done a MEE survey we would have competed for a super bowl trophy…my guess is you really believe it starts with an engaged team and that is why you are winning on every measurable result? 3. The Chili’s MVP says our job is to make people feel special. Can you please share 1 example of how you have made your team feel special? • Share your best example TM’s – Turnover 1. While MEE is a great leading indicator, turnover is a great lagging indicator of team member engagement…what is your current turnover? • 37 % is my turnover 2. How would you best articulate, how having low turnover has led to you delivering on the 4 key results? • Sales….having the same consistent team members helped deliver team selling. • Team Selling created a great experience by allowing our TM to win by increasing their income by increasing their sales. 3. How do you live the MVP and make people feel special? • Share best example… ...

...Industrial Setting Since this setting recquires corporate attire so I prepared my formal clothes. I don't have that much so I'm a bit worried if I would run out of clothes to wear. Good thing that we were allowed to wear our white uniform. However, sometimes we were mistaken as a nurse intern. At that time, I was torn with my classess and last setting of internship. I was looking for a company where can be located near our house or rather near in our school. I even thougt of applying in our school's human resource department but I already had my education setting there so I declined the idea. Then, Dennis refered that we should try Bayan Academy. He said that it was a good company and they included the lunch hours and overtime hours. There were two building that was handled by Bayan Academy. One which the director, finance management, etc were staying. The second one where I worked which handled the training of call center, commercial cooking, and entrepreneurship. Most likely, I am expecting to have worked with trainees. When I first met the staff I was a bit nervous. I think they were kind checking us out. At first, I've waited for them to give a job. The office is just a small room where the staff works. There were other rooms or the trainings and seminars where held. They were nice and seems to have a good atmosphere because they seem to get along with each other. Unlike to the other building, the atmosphere was a bit heavy and serious. Of course, to fit in their environment...

...Self-Reflection: Part 1 Sex, a word has long been a taboo in the society I come from. It is part of everyone’s daily life but I have never heard anyone talks about it in public in my adolescent years. Therefore, I was totally amazed when I first saw this course and I am very interested in exploring the world of sexual communication. As an international student from China, I have to say I had very limited source of information about sex at a young age. When I asked my parents where I came from, they usually replied with “you will know when you grow up.” I still remember when I was in 6th grade, there was a chapter about human’s reproductive system in the biology textbook. For the first time, I learned from the illustrations that males and females have different organs in their bodies, which would somehow magically make a baby. Why illustrations? Because my biology teacher was so embarrassed to talk about it in front of us that she skipped the entire chapter. As economy prospers in China, people started to have personal computers at their homes. It is until then I gradually obtained most of my knowledge about sex from the internet. I think this is a source for me because I can easily get the answer as long as I type my question about sex in the search engine. Thus, it is an efficient way to learn without feeling embarrassed. However, a major drawback of this is that the articles online are not very factual and reliable sometimes. As a result, I have to be able to discern between...

...Ethics Reflection Paper STR-581 February 4, 2013 Ethics Reflection Paper Ethics is a very important code of conduct in one everyday life because it plays a vital role in business. When organizations begin the process of creating a strategic plan they often take into consideration the vital role that ethics plays. Social responsibility can be affected in planning because it ensures the needs of the stakeholders in a company are content. In any organization ethic is a vital tool that is utilized to help employees within a organization understand how they should go about conducting themselves in a workplace environment. This should coincide with the values and standards that the organization they are employed with goes by. When strategic plans are created within a organization it should clearly state the expectations that the organization has set forth for employees so they will know how to conduct themselves. With the values set forth that each employee should make certain to make that ethics is a top priority (Pearce & Robinson, 2013). Within a organization values are typically stated in the mission and vision which will clearly explain the expectations and direction that the organization and its stakeholders wish to go in (Pearce & Robinson, 2013). In most organizations you can rely on the mission and/or vision statement to set standards on the principle from which organizations will develop a strategic plan and goals with...

...Reflection Essay Nursing Ethics and Evidence-Based Practice Rachel Lutz Professional Nursing December 10, 2010 Throughout this course I have been able educate myself on many areas of nursing that involve more than just patient care. One area that I found particularly interesting was ethical principlism. Ethical principlism involves using a set of ethical principles to provide framework that will support moral behavior and decision making while caring for patients. (Masters, 2009, p.92) There are four principles that define this idea. These include autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice. Both beneficence and nonmaleficence go hand in hand to show how nurses truly work for the good of the patient. Beneficence involves nurses taking action to promote well being for their patients. While nonmaleficence teaches nurses to refrain from certain actions that could cause harm. (Masters, 2009 p. 93) I believe that these concepts are very important in nursing. One must be able to understand that caring for a patient is more than acquiring skills. You need to have compassion and love in the care you provide. Nursing must be more than just a job. If the desire to help the patient is not present, the ability for the nurse to make the proper judgments can be skewed. Patient advocacy is a key requirement for a nurse. It is important that nurses are able to be taught ethical principles that will guide their thinking toward the good of the patient. Masters describes...

...is not zeroed. Maybe the diffraction grating is cheap and the lines/cm is not accurate, etc.So every measurement will be in error because of inaccurate instruments 2) Misreading the vernier scale. Not seeing the maximum left angle or right angle spectra, thus the average angle calculation doesn't match with the right wavelength for mercury. Difficulty in seeing the lines through the telescope. 3) Error in the number of slits per meter: the error in slit width is what causes the error in the number of slits per metre, so the proportional errors are the same. 4) Distance between light source and the surface Size of the light source Attenuation as it passes through air 5) If The measurement of the grating constant from relection off the meter scale was slightly more error-prone use this: Factors that might account for the error are irregularities in the grating, mistakes in the calibration, or similar systematic flaws. In this section you can include general statements saying: * Whether your measurements confirm the stated objectives. * What fundamental physical laws were illustrated by the experiment * How the experimental error could have been reduced in the experiment. Also include a constructive critique of the lab, stating what went well, what didn’t, and how the laboratory could be improved. Error Analysis Questions How was related to the angle of diffraction? How is related to the color of the line? Was the wavelength of a particular...

...PERSONAL THINKING STYLES After completion of the Life Styles Inventory Assessment, it was determined that my primary thinking style is oppositional. I ranked in the 87th percentile in this category. An oppositional person tends to disagree with others and seek attention by being critical and cynical. Some of the characteristics of an oppositional individual are asking probing questions, being argumentative, having a negative attitude, and a sarcastic sense of humor. I was actually shocked with these results, but realized the more I read the descriptions that I actually possess some of the characteristics listed. Some of the attributes of the oppositional individual that I have are asking the probing questions, looking for flaws, and sometimes having a negative attitude. These characteristics manifest in both my every day and work life. I tend to ask the questions to make sure I understand what is going on and to make sure that the decisions being made have been thought through. At the same time I am asking the questions, I am looking for the flaws, trying to figure out why the decision being made will not work or what could possibly go wrong. Both of the previous stated characteristics can lead to the portrayal of being negative. My secondary thinking style is achievement and I totally agree with this conclusion. I ranked in the 85th percentile in this area. I was surprised that this was not my primary style. The achievement style indicates attaining high quality results...

...ENG4U1a More Sinned Against Sin is something that everybody does, no matter how hard it is. “King Lear” by William Shakespeare the play shows how the character chooses to sin, and even sin against the ones they mortally should not sin against. King Lear proclaims that he is “I am a man more sinned against than sinning.” However it seems that does not only suit him, in the play. Many characters in “King Lear” have out done each other in sinning, because of people deceiving one another causing them to see the truth the result for this only ends in suffering. In relation to blindness, decisions and betrayal the result of being mores sinned against lies in the favour of one character Gloucester and Lear have very similar roles in the play, they reflect each other in many different ways. Mistakes were made by both, one more greatly than the other. Gloucester’s first mistake in the play was his trust in Edmund when he discovered the letter to what seems to be his “evil son” Edgar’s plot against him. .Without any further knowledge in this situation and the letter he right away believes that Edmund is being honest and believes the worst in his son Edgar who is actually legitimate, and this causes him to be sinned against. Lear’s mistake was because if his own pride, which is not the first, time his own flaws has come in the way. Lear is blinded from the truth and because of that he exclaims “Let it be so; thy truth then be thy dower; For by the sacred radiance of the sun....

...ARTH304 Art of Japan Final Exam To Mrs. Pia Brancaccio June 13th, 2013 1. Please select two works of Buddhist art from the Early Heian Period and explain: a. The political transition from Nara to Heian period. b. The religious changes we see taking place in Japan during this time. c. The main features of Buddhist art and architecture in the early part of the Heian period. Please include in your discussion an explanation on how these works of art and architecture were used by religious practitioners. Works selected: • Interior of the kondo, Kanshinji, Osaka, fig.151, page125 • Taizokai (Womb World) of Ryokai Mandara, fig.152, page126 The Heian period (794-1185) takes its name from the new capital established in 794 at Heian, or Capital of Peace and Tranquility, a variation on the Tang Chinese capital’s name of Chang’an (Everlasting Peace). The shift in power from the Buddhist community back into the hands of the powerful aristocratic family is fully realized early this period (794-951). Buddhism was allowed only a limited presence within the capital itself, reorients itself into esoteric cults focused on complex philosophies and rituals as well as into more populist “saviour” movement that helped for the first time spread the religion widely amongst the common people.One of the major events of the Early Heian period, the introduction into Japan of Tendai and Shingon Buddhism was precipitated by the loss of direction on the part of the Buddhism community that had led to the...
