Direct contact from one person to another is the most common way MRSA is spread. It is spread this way considerably more than when a person touches a fomite.4 MRSA likes moist places making the hands a great route for being transferred from one person to another. MRSA can enter the body by cuts or opened wounds, entering the body through an IV and entering the body in a surgical procedure. This can cause potentially life threatening problems for a patient. All of these routes of transmission from one person to another can be prevented by one of the most common and simple ways: hand washing. Correct hand washing is incredibly important to do before and after contact with a...

...Wilson writes that hurting people is a cycle that needs to be broken. She states, “all of us have been hurt by people who were all hurt by other people. In turn, we-- as hurt people-- all have hurt other people to one degree or another. And on and on it goes.” (Wilson, 2001) She says that hurts can be from our actions, words and attitudes that can be intentional or unintentional. The wounds and injuries can and usually manifest in physical, sexual, emotional, intellectual, verbal or spiritual neglect or more times than not, abuse. Dr. Wilson believes that everyone is a hurt person in some way who will hurt another person, knowingly or unknowingly. This cycle is usually generational. You hurt me, I hurt the next person, and on it goes. It is one thing to see the abuses that are physical. We can see the bruises, breaks and scars, but emotional hidden unseen wounds can be hidden for years. Dr. Wilson explains that if you have been hurt deeply, emotionally in the past you often take out that hidden pain on someone else. This is where the cycle must end. By recognizing the nature of our wounds and to what extent they have hurt us, helps us work toward the change that is so desperately needed. Dr. Wilson uses her model to correct these behavior patterns by relying on the family systems and a cognitive behavior approach. Change is not easy, but it can be achieved by the techniques put forward by Dr. Wilson. Although Dr. Wilson’s approach seems very simple, she has developed...

...Family Counseling Approach Research Gestalt Family Therapy Gretchen Thomas Liberty University Abstract Not every client will be of the Christian faith. With that known, proper integration of psychology, spirituality and theology is imperative to have a successful and healthy therapeutic relationship. There are many theorists with distinctively diverse approaches. The Gestalt experiential family therapy process allows professionals the flexibility to individualize their procedures while maintaining an unyielding theoretical background. The way one views integration has a lot to do with their worldview, which determines their use or lack of use of spiritual methods in counseling as well as help the professional deal with on-Christian counselees. This manuscript provides a synopsis of the history of the Gestalt experiential family therapy framework, the leading figures, and in conclusion an overview of how a personal worldview interacts with the Gestalt theory. keywords: Gestalt, integration, experiential family therapy, worldview Family Counseling Approach Research Gestalt Family Therapy Introduction The experiential model or experiential approach to family therapy has many innovators. The symbolic experiential approach pioneered by Carl Whitaker highlights how the therapist provides counselees different ways to accept and deal with issues (Goldenberg and Goldenberg, 2013).

...members of nobility. Normally a man must have been born the son of a knight in order to become one. At the age of seven or eight, a young knight would be sent away from home to begin formal knight training, in preparation to dominate the medieval battlefield. In this training, the most commonly used weapons for war were swords and the lance; by horseback riding knights wearing body-covering armor. In addition, the knights were taught to use a wide range of weaponry, from simple tools and farm implements to sophisticated acts of surrounding and attacking the enemy, for capture. Wounds inflicted on the battlefield were usually cuts to arms, legs and scalp; penetrating wounds to the limbs and trunk caused by arrows; fractures caused by impact from swords or concussions from missiles from slings. These types of wounds most often were treated by simple medical care, which consisted of cleaning the wound, controlling the bleeding and preventing contamination. Warriors with serious injuries such as severed arteries and crushed skulls died on the...

...rather, for there not to be an accident at all. They are putting their faith in your integrity to keep them and the other travelers on the road. I was assigned this essay because of my lack of integrity behind the wheel. I was not honest or responsible and had not taken the time to fully inspect my permit to see that it had expired. My lack of honesty could have cost myself and other drivers dearly. If I’d been pulled over, my passenger would have faced severe consequences for having let an unlicensed or non-permitted driver behind the wheel of a vehicle. My passenger and I would both more than likely have ended up behind the plexi-glass of a police officer’s car. Had an accident occurred, “reckless enlargement” would very likely have wound up on one, or both, of our records. My passenger is currently eligible for a promotion to her Sergeant rank. Had we been pulled over, or had we been in an accident, we both would have been given Article 15’s and she would have lost her promotional status. My lack of integrity would have tremendously damaged our careers. There truly is no excuse for my actions last week. All I can say was I was eager to get behind the wheel and continue to practice driving so I could continue to make the needed progress to obtain my license. That does not change the fact that what I did both lacked integrity, but it was also against the law. The repercussions could have been irreparable. Integrity in the military is vital to each soldier. Without it we...

Here the vowel a is combined with nearly all the consonants in the Philippine alphabet. In the same way, the vowels I (or e) and o (or u) can be found as the rhyming syllables, either alone or in combination, e.g.: I, id, ing, ip, it, and o, od, ok, on, ong, os, ot, oy. - One who has a knowledge of the language of the Hanunoo-Mangyans as it is used in their daily conversation, will be able to understand very little of the language that is used in the ambahan. The language used in the ambahan differs from the spoken language, though many a word used widely in the daily Hanunoo-Mangyan language is also used in the ambahan-vocabulary. It is quite possible to compile a long list of words (eventually a complete dictionary) that are used only in the ambahan verse, but, for the purpose of this book, only a few words need to be mentioned Religion: The teenager makes up his mind and leaves the house where he doesn't feel at home anymore.

...VARK Analysis Abstract The VARK Learning Styles was conducted by MS. X to describe her learning style and preferred learning strategies. The following will compare the learning strategies to the preferred learning style. It notes changes that need to be made to her study habits. Finally, it summarizes an analysis of the assessment. Learning Strategies and Styles There are four main kinds of learning strategies according to the VARK learning style and they are: visual, aural, reading, and kinesthetic. After completing a questionnaire on the VARK learning website, one is able to know the style in which they learn best and understand in which manner they can grasp what is being taught to them. Consider, for example, an artist and a carpenter. An artist paints and a carpenter is someone who builds wooden structures. Each one is skilled in his own profession, but suppose they both decide to take on each other’s tasks. It would take them longer to produce a finished work and the quality might not be as great as it would have been had they stuck to their own talents. Another possibility is also that the carpenter is capable of performing the work of the artist. In chosen plan, it might be both the talents to make one product. Learning styles may be very much similar. If you know where you are strong you can always nurture and nourish your learning capabilities and the power of comprehending the information given to you, helping you to improve your grades.

...to Be… Mentally Ill? In Shakespeare’s play: “The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark”, the principle character, Hamlet, is a young man who decides to pretend he is mentally ill (“mad”) to avenge his father’s murder. However, Hamlet’s actions, his behavior, and his general persona indicate otherwise and suggest that he is in fact mentally ill. The first part of this play foreshadows Hamlet’s mental stress. As the play unfolds, he no longer seems to be “pretending madness”, as ultimately multiple deaths occur. “Mad as the sea and wind when both contend Which is the mightier. In his lawless fit, Behind the arras hearing something stir, Whips out his rapier, cries, “A rat, a rat!” And in this brainish apprehension kills The unseen good old man.” (IV.i 8-13) This quote in Act IV, scene i is the turning point in the play when clearly Hamlet’s “pretend” madness is no longer an act, but truly indicative of “madness”, leading to the question: Does Hamlet’s “madness”, his ascent from sanity to insanity, result in the tragedy in “The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark”? The first part of this play foreshadows Hamlet’s mental decline. He has many of the risk factors for depression such as his age (clinical depression often first occurs in late adolescence or early adulthood), and he has had many life changing events happen in a relatively short period of time such as his father unexpectedly dying (possibly murdered), his mother remarrying shortly after his father’s...

...997661472 PHL388 05.29.15 Analyzing Giants and How They Should Be Buried James Wood, in his review of Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Buried Giant, criticizes the work for its use of allegory which he argal and general what is implicit and personal in his best fiction” through the use of allegory. In other words it seems as if Wood believes that an author must more or less place some sort of an onus upon the reader to unearth messages within literary works with a bit of effort, which an allegory fails to do. In The Buried Giant’s case Wood argues the use of allegory “simplifies” and “literalizes”. As a result it is argued to not only discount from this particular author’s general writing style (as compared to his previous works) but more generally makes too obvious what should be left for the reader to, in the process of reading, uncover with a bit of work as opposed to having an allegory hand it to them on a platter. Wood argues the use of allegory fails as it, “points everywhere” and is couple with a fictional setting which is, “feeble, mythically remote, generic, and pressureless” making the work simultaneously literal and vague. He also adds that the use of allegory is, “antinovelistic, because it points away from its own story, gued he overlooks other characteristics which can be argued to be more significant when it comes to judging the success of a piece of literature. Wood may potentially believe that since the use of allegory in The Buried Giant has...

I finally gave up after 1 to 2 hours. I would have been longer but I was so weak still. After they let me go they told me that I they were the pack of the rain. Back then there was 4 wolf packs that lived in harmony, The pack of the rain, The pack of fire, The pack of the wind (the pack I lived in), and the pack of shadows. Each pack had a special ability, The pack of the rain had a greater understanding of medicines. The pack of fire was a stronger pack then the others. The pack of the shadow was able to hide themselves in even the smallest for bushes and go unseen no matter the fur color. The pack of the wind was the fastest of all the wolves. I told them that I was from the pack of the wind and how my pack was attacked. They took me in and let me rest there till I was well enough to get back. They even though me a few survival tricks. After a month has past, I almost forgot that I was a wolf from the pack of the wind. I decided that it was time for me to find my way back home. I traveled a long distance trying to block out how hungry I was but, hunger got the best of me. I instantly regretted not eating before leaving the pack, so I stopped to hunt. I looked around for a while and saw a deer. Just the though of that deer made my mouth water. I didn't stop to think of how I was going to...

...The Fantasy of Disclosure in The Faerie Queene: A Look at Misogyny and the Fear of Female Sexuality In Edmund Spencer’s The Faerie Queene, fantasies are the clues to the substructures of the unconscious. In Book I, fantasies work to expose the “ulcers” that threaten to destabilize the magnanimity of the righteous Christian man. Spencer evokes the powerful use of images to disclose the idea that the abyss of female sexuality is a direct threat to the virtues of Protestantism. Two scenes in particular illustrate first, how females are viewed as the creators of sin, which leads to weakness in man, and secondly, how female sexuality is the primary source of misdirection for the heterosexual Christian male because it creates sexual desire and fantasy, which can lead him astray. In the first scene in which the fantasy of disclosure of the “ulcers” first occurs, Spenser depicts female reproduction and maternal functions as Errour, or “A monster vile, whom God and man does hate” (I.i.13). Additionally, Errour’s ability to breed is grotesque because the progeny she proliferates is emblematic of a never-ending cycle of deceit that continually seeks to subvert Protestant principles. In the second scene in which the fantasy of disclosure occurs, the exposure of Duessa’s hideous “neather parts” suggest that female sexuality is indeed fundamentally evil because it undermines Protestant ideology. Thus, the “ulcers” that Spencer discloses and identifies within an obscure second level reading...
