Explain how you would prioritize care of these clients in order of importance, and why

I will triage these patients with regard to their needs. The one with the immediate and most pressing needs is Mr. Richard. He takes first priority since he is in severe pain and nursing care dictates that the nurse should ensure that the patient is comfortable and one way to achieve is this is through pain relief. I would administer moderate analgesia such as morphine or pethidine. The fact that Mr. Richards was experiencing difficulty in breathing affirms me making him my first priority. Dyspnea translates to the fact that there is inadequate tissue perfusion. This in itself is ...

A CPU is hardware within a computer that performs the logic, arithmetic and input/output instructions of a computer program. A typical computer can be operated by more than one CPU thus the term multiprocessing. CPUs are assembled on an integrated circuit, and one IC can contain more than one CPU. CPU is made up of two main components namely; arithmetic logic unit ALU and control unit (CU). Arithmetic Logic Unit performs logic and arithmetic operations while CU removes instructions from the memory, decode, and execute them. It also calls on the ALU whenever necessary. CPUs were traditionally built using ICs but ...

Introduction

The computer hard disk drive, also known as hard drive, hard disk or simply HDD is a storage device which is non-volatile (HDD Scan, 2010).

- Before making assumptions whether security-oriented culture in logistics is just to maintain good business, it is important to understand what security-oriented culture is about. It is the application of procedures, policies and technology to protect assets within the supply chain from eminent threats (Closs et al., 2002). Given the description of security and the culture it implies, its application to supply chain is just good business. It is because security is part of process strategy that involves implementation of effective security measures for ...

Unsophisticated network users are prone to attacks. The nature and level of attacks continues to evolve with time. Network attacks could either be internal or external. However, internal attacks are more lethal than external attacks. Organizations today are dependent on networks in order to facilitate their core business. Today, there is an increased need to access remote sites and mobile workers through virtual private networks (VPNs). This makes information the most essential resource for most organizations. Consequently, tampering with that information could have detrimental effects to organizations as well as governments. This could be complicated by the fact that ...

Chapter 14:

Discuss the role of field studies in evaluation

Field studies are usually conducted to determine how users adopt a prototype or product in their working and daily lives (Rogers et al, 2007). Unlike usability testing that is conducted in an orderly setting, field studies are conducted in a disorganized manner in that there is constant interruption and overlap in the activities. This more closely resembles the natural settings in which the user would interact with the product in their daily lives.

With this type of evaluation method or technique, it would be possible to obtain information about and evaluate how users ...
