Health Theses Samples For Students

The article ‘Online learning: anywhere anytime education for specialist nursing (Bromley, P., 2010)’ is a critical analysis if the American Nurses of College Association views in 1999 which suggested that nurse education would require a review in the next decade. This, according to the Association, would be occasioned by the need to have nurses who could manage information and technology while incorporating it with the complicated clinical judgment that define their profession on a daily basis. The article analyses this prediction from a point of view that the association had rightly predicted how the nursing career would change over time. The article analyses ...

The capitalist system adopted globally comes with costs. One of the easily observable characteristic is that money defines a person. In other words, the economic ability determines one’s capacity and place in the society. This is what Karl Marx coined as pure capitalism which creates a system of classes in the society with the bottom at the pyramid being the poor.
This research paper appreciates the social class stratification argument by Karl Marx. Indeed, it is the contention of this paper that the economic ability impacts on the social class of a person. This is what can lightly be referred ...

Introduction

As myriad of changes continue being experienced in the health sector, several challenges prevent effective implementation of healthcare services. These challenges include limitation in healthcare services, inefficient skills, unskilled personnel, poverty and huge gap between the number of skilled healthcare providers and number of patients seeking services. These problems further intensify in rural areas whereby the distance between patients and healthcare facilities prevent timely access to healthcare. This explains why several federal policies target problems facing the rural poor. Studies further show that more than 15 percent of healthcare beneficiaries reside in rural areas (Thrall, 2012). These patients depend ...

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic illness characterized by the body’s inability to produce insulin due to the destruction of the beta cells in the pancreas through autoimmune process, infection by viruses or idiopathic means. According to America Diabetes Association (2010) onset most often occurs in childhood at 10 -14 years of age, but the disease can also develop in adults in their late 30s and early 40s. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is the stable product of nonenzymatic irreversible glycation of the beta chain of hemoglobin by plasma glucose. Its rate of formation increases proportionately with plasma glucose levels. Since ...

Abstract

Trichomonas gallinae, a flagellated protozoan, adversely affects the avian livestock, particularly the columbids. It causes an infection called necrotic ingluvitis and the disease can range from asymptomatic to lethal. The parasite affects the anterior gastrointestinal tract of the bird, forms granulomatous lesions, and blocks the oesophagus, making the bird starve, thus leading to death. The virulence of the strain varies with some strains causing up to 75% mortality. In UK, the infection was first recognized as an emerging infectious disease of British finches in summer of 2005. The sick dead birds exhibited signs of malaise such as lethargy and fluffed-up ...

Abstract

Nursing practice has been revolutionized over the last century with a growing demand for appropriate education and training. This desire has escalated towards nurses becoming specialists in intensive care, obstetrics, pediatrics, psychiatry, geriatrics, anesthetics and even clinical managers. The more diverse cases emerge; equally the need to specialize becomes eminent. As such, education plays a vital role in adequately addressing evaluation and intervention of the nursing process. Accuracy in assessment and appropriate preparation to administer techniques, greatly depend on the level of education among nursing service staff. Hence, the importance that every level be afforded full opportunities to deliver the quality ...

Background

The hospital has the potential to be a dangerous place for health care practitioners. Among healthcare workers, nurses, interns, technicians, residents, and housekeeping staff face the greatest risks of exposure to various injuries (Shriyan, Roche, Annamma, 2012). Back injuries, allergies, radiation exposure, violence, and stress are but some of the potential injuries that healthcare workers face.
Chief amongst the potential injuries that nurses face are needlestick injuries. Needle stick injuries commonly occur during subcutaneous injections, during the drawing of blood samples, during intravenous cannulation, and as a result of repeatedly replacing a cap onto an already used needle (Goniewicz, 2012). Needlestick ...

Overview

Public agencies have until recently not been engaging in succession planning. Succession planning is the process by which an organization plans for and replaces outgoing managers, executives and selected chief employees. Such employees initially held vital positions affecting the success of the organization, and preparing for succession is critical to the success of an organization in its present and future plans. The process of succession planning includes carrying out preparations of how the organization will select and recruit successors, the most effective way to handle changes between executives and how to build upon its successors (Todnem & Macleod, 2009).

1.0 Introduction

When the concept of green building emerges, environmentalists and researchers automatically assume the solutions lie on materials and their constituencies in buildings they are part of and the lifetime of the building. Exterior material directly in contact with the environment and natural elements may enhance the sustainability of the building, but may greatly impact the functions of nearby ecosystems. Hence building sustainability and environmental maintenance are not exactly interchangeable, and yet these terms are often utilized mistakenly. The pioneers of environmental constructs are not confirmed, although architectural historians suggest they date back prior to Ancient Roman times. Architects took ...
