...line used to funnel off excessive carbon dioxide into the outdoors became disconnected. This allowed carbon dioxide stored in tanks in the backroom to flow into the wall of the women’s bathroom. A line used to funnel excess carbon dioxide out of the restaurant got disconnected. The gas, which is kept in tanks in a back room of the McDonald’s, was flowing into the wall next to the women’s bathroom instead of going outside. Since the incident a lawsuit was filed against the owners of the Pooler McDonalds’. In a lawsuit filed Carol Barry and her husband, William Barry, filed the suit in the State Court of Chatham County. The lawsuit stated that the owners were aware of similar incidents at other McDonald's, but failed to properly maintain the line funneling the carbon dioxide from the fast food restaurant. In the lawsuit it says the couple was traveling from New York to Jacksonville when they stopped at the Pooler McDonald's to get a beverage and use the restroom. In accordance with the lawsuit, Carol Barry collapsed unconscious in the restroom because of the carbon dioxide leak. It also says that her husband also got sick after going in the restroom to help her.

...In order to keep everyone safe indoors and outdoors, I look for hazards in the area where the children will be playing, learning, and exploring. Before entering students should know the proper rules and procedures ahead of time in case of an emergency. Which means procedures and rules should be practiced at least once a week for a month or until there is no need for assistance. Staff should be fully trained and well equipped given an emergency during any time. Even if no assistance is needed supervision is always required, as well as supplies, materials, and equipment at hand or is known to be in a close range. To keep everyone healthy indoors and outdoors, I make sure sanitary procedures are stated and present. When entering or exiting an area students, staff, and classroom equipment should be well sanitized daily. For example hand washing before and after eating along with when children are playing indoors and outdoors. Staff should sanitize before and after dealing with each child to prevent the transferring of germs. Rest and nutrition are also a very important role in a child’s everyday life. Students should be immediately tended to when dealing with allergy emergencies no matter how severe. Naps are required in a child care center, children should have a chance to rest during the day specifically children ages new born to five. To ensure I create an active learning environment indoors and outdoors, I keep activities active and very communicative. I like for the kids...

...around 7a.m. with a pain she has never felt before. At first, the pain just felt like "cramps telling me I needed to go to the restroom" according to A.H. but as the morning progressed the pain became sharper and nauseating. Finally, a family member came to visit and found A.H lying on the bathroom floor in excruciating pain with tears running down her cheeks. Once the pain became too much to bear around 10 a.m., A.H.'s sister decided it was time to make a trip to the emergency room. Upon arrival to the ER lobby around 10:30, the pain was everywhere causing symptoms of shortness of breath along with feelings of being dizzy and lightheaded. The lobby had three people waiting resulting in a significant wait time for a room. A.H. stated "it felt like an eternity before I was able to get into a bed and get medication to help with the pain". Once in the room, it took over twenty minutes before anyone other than the tech who brought A.H. back to the room to come in and assess her. The first person to step into the room, according to A.H. sister, was a person that was just "stocking the room" which to her was "very rude and inappropriate for the time and situation". With this happening, frustration hit an all-time high for the sister and the pain was so unbearable the A.H. was unable to move in the slightest manner. Finally, a nurse came into the room amount 30 minutes into length of stay to assess and get history of the current medical problem. Due to the generalized pain...

Marian was willing to participate in the safety assessment and these finding are the result of the safety assessment. M.

...OVERVIEW An effective school facility is responsive to the changing programs of educational delivery, and at a minimum should provide a physical environment that is comfortable, safe, secure, accessible, well illuminated, well ventilated, and aesthetically pleasing. The school facility consists of not only the physical structure and the variety of building systems, such as mechanical, plumbing, electrical and power, telecommunications, security, and fire suppression systems. The facility also includes furnishings, materials and supplies, equipment and information technology, as well as various aspects of the building grounds, namely, athletic fields, playgrounds, areas for outdoor learning, and vehicular access and parking. The school facility is much more than a passive container of the educational process: it is, rather, an integral component of the conditions of learning. The layout and design of a facility contributes to the place experience of students, educators, and community members. Depending on the quality of its design and management, the facility can contribute to a sense of ownership, safety and security, personalization and control, privacy as well as sociality, and spaciousness or crowdedness. When planning, designing, or managing the school facility, these facets of place experience should, when possible, be taken into consideration. Constructing New Facilities During strategic long-range educational planning, unmet facility space needs often emerge. The goal...

...protected, who or what they or it needs to be protected from and the general constraints of the particular school's facilities. (Window of State Government 2001) After the school shooting in Columbine and most recently Newton Elementary shooting, the level of security in our district escalated to "Red" status. Statement above is out dated. Our district wrote its own policy, enforced it and carried out to the full extent. Since funding is an issue, our district (FWISD) concentrates its safety and security activities in the Student Affairs department. This also means more demands of school's administrators. We works more closely with the Fort Worth Police Departments to ensure a safe and secure environment for students and teachers. The training for teachers and drills to enhance emergency preparedness are being conducted regularly. Evacuation drills are also being practiced more routinely. Our district received a grant funds strictly to be used for this purpose. School administrators use this money to educate parents regularly regarding student and campus safety. All of our exterior doors are posted with permanent signage. All staff, teachers and students are required to wear school...

...MANAGING PATIENTS WITH OXYGENATION AND PERFUSION PROBLEMS Erica Schultz Breckinridge School of Nursing NU 230 Mrs. John September 23, 2015 MANAGING PATIENTS WITH OXYGENATION AND PERFUSION PROBLEMS As we may know, oxygen is one of the most vital elements that we need to live and function. Cells and tissues depend on oxygen to perform their roles, but some cells such as brain cells and heart muscle cells, are very dependent on oxygen (Ignatavicius & Workman, 2013). Without this crucial element, our body begins to suffer and our cells begin to die. We will learn the process of breathing and how taking a simple breath fuels these cells, to what to look for and how to confirm when a person is not getting enough oxygen, emergency treatments for these situations, and nursing considerations that can be implemented for these patients. The source of the oxygen for all body cells and tissue is the air that we breathe into our lungs (Ignatavicius & Workman, 2013). Breathing is an involuntary action that most people do not have to think about to perform. With each breath that we take, our body performs specific steps so that our body stays healthy and alive. It all begins with inspired oxygen from the environment entering the body through your mouth or nose and it moves down your respiratory tubes which includes the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles, and then into the air sacs of the lungs. Once the oxygen is in the air sacs, it then moves across the alveolar capillary membrane...

...Jay, an Emergency Room Technician, is walking into work. It is 6:40 am, his shift starts at 7 am but he is required to clock-in earlier and attend the “shift huddle” (the huddle is where the incoming staff gets any pertinent information about what happened during the previous shift). It is 7:05 am, the huddle is over and Jay is checking the assignment sheet to see where in the department he is going to be working. At this emergency department, the nurses and techs will work in one of the four sections: A-pod (for the medium acuity patients, and it also houses the psychiatric patients), B-pod (where high acuity patients such as respiratory or cardiac arrest patients go), C-pod (for low acuity patients…it is kind of like an urgent care), or Start. Today, Jay is assigned to the start desk; this is the area that processes incoming patients after they have registered to be seen at the ER. Jay will work closely with a nurse to help triage people coming into the ER, and to watch over patients in the waiting room. Jay’s primary responsibility is to take an initial set of vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and oxygen saturation levels) on every person that comes in for treatment, and notify the nurse if any of those vital signs are abnormal. He will also help to take patients to their room once they are assigned one, help answer any questions, escort visitors, and to perform an electrocardiogram (EKG) on any patient that has a chief complaint warranting such a...

...On that fateful friday, I experienced hurricane Charley, a category 4 storm. Most evacuated without the slightest thought of staying for the mayhem that would unfold in the southern Florida town of Fort Meyers. On the other hand, there were some people who think they are tough and will stick it out. Others simply didn’t have the money to evacuate. Also, we have people who stuck it out because they were told to do so by families, there is not much a 12 year old can do to make a hard headed family member change their mind. Which brings me to my father, he was so pride stricken on sticking it out no one could tell him anything to change his mind. My brother and i quickly realized to get through this hurricane that was coming straight for us we would have to do our part with preparation as long as having each others backs during the storm. I still remember the sounds from that night the thoughts make me quiver. Preparation was all my father told us we needed he said “We will just board up the house starting by nailing down wood to the outside of the windows so debris is less prone to smash into our house. By taping the front and back of said windows, it will greatly reduce the risk of injury. After the house preparation we will get as much food, water, and gas as possible.” Of course we helped our dad board up all the windows from the outside, and tape them from the inside.

...captured the scene on video (Seelye). Users need the fix as quickly as they can get it,” said Edward James Walsh, chief of police in Taunton, Mass., a city 40 miles south of here that has been plagued with heroin overdoses in recent years. “The physical and psychological need is so great for an addict that they will use it at the earliest opportunity” (Seelye). It was all over the media. You can watch the video over and over, the man shooting himself up and just falling over. Nationally, 125 people a day die from overdosing on heroin and painkillers, and many more are revived, brought back from the brink of death — often in full public view (Seelye). In Cincinnati, a woman died in January after she and her husband overdosed in their baby’s room at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. The husband was found unconscious with a gun in his pocket, a syringe in his arm and needles strewn around the sink (Seelye). Also, in Cincinnati in 2014, an Indiana couple overdosed on heroin at a McDonald’s, collapsing in front of their children in the restaurant’s play area (Seelye). Also, in Niagara Falls, N.Y., a man was accused in October of leaving a 5-year-old boy unattended in a Dairy Queen while he went to the...

...management of human, physical and technological resources can improve the performance of a selected organisation In this document i will be covering the main physical and technological resources required in the operations of GCC. Physical Resources Emergence Provision The health and safety act of 1974 requires businesses to have provisions and plans for what to do in the case of an emergency. The business needs to be constantly thinking about the safety of their employee’s and how to keep them safe. ✓ This can be as little as a wet floor sign. The emergencies that businesses need to deal with are things like fires, power cuts and floods ect… With a fire for example GCC will have fire extinguishers around the buildings, they will also practice fire drills where they will practise how to get out of the building and where they go to so they can make sure everyone can get out of the building safely. This can improve the performance of GCC because they will be able to successfully take care of all the students and employees in the case of the emergencies that they have prepared for.✓ Plant and Machinery Plants and machinery are usually things that businesses buy or rent and the business will only get these things if they are necessary to the business. For glossopdale these will be things like boilers, internet routers and ICT technology. Instead of investing large sums of money in machinery some businesses will lease them for cheaper.
