The products and services provided in hotels, as a rule, are standard, but sometimes depending on the appointment of a hotel (business, rest) they can have specific nature. For me, the hotel is not just the place for a lodging for the night. It is the temporary house. The house in which everything is brought to perfection. And the most pleasant is that this perfection is not created by me. It isn't necessary to clean, bring things to the order. You can relax, you can behave more freely, it is possible to count on an invisible hand which will ...

Interventions Reducing Readmissions

Abstract Discharging patients from a hospital is a complex and intricate process that should be handled with a lot of attention and care to avoid the unnecessary readmission of patients. The study states that some reasons cause hospital readmission in Medicare patients between 30 days of discharge and they may include failure to follow the physician’s directions, reoccurrence of the condition, lack of follow-up care ...

Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper was published in 1892. The story introduces a candid female protagonist who’s isolation from society, and from her writing, drives her insane. Written from a first person perspective, the story allows the reader to become personally involved with the narrator. Gilman uses symbolism throughout the story, two examples of which are the wallpaper and the wallpaper pattern. The story reveals interesting clues about how mental illness was treated at the time, and how women in particular were repressed by society. Through the use of a first person narrator and symbolism, Gilman ...

Introduction

In May 2012, English couple Mick and Mairead Philpott made the headlines for surviving a fire that killed their six children and destroyed their house in the Allenton area (BBC News, 2013). After publicly claiming to be lucky for surviving the fire, the Philpotts won the sympathy of people who felt sorry for them for losing six of their children and most of their properties. However, after a month of investigation, the Philpotts were accused of committing arson and murder, and by 2013, they were convicted of manslaughter for deliberately starting a fire that killed all six of their ...

A few years ago I was lucky enough to rescue a tiny squirrel that fit in the palm of my hand and was no bigger than a walnut. I had no idea what to do with him, but knew if I left him he would die. So I became a squirrel parent. And little did I know that the split decision I made would change my life forever. You see, what I learned is that squirrels are not just “glorified rats,” but instead “extremely intelligent,” very affectionate and surprisingly entertaining (“Amazing ”). My squirrel learned to put himself to bed ...

Weathering and erosion are two basic events that take place on earth as part of the wear and tear of the natural resources like rocks, soils, and plants and trees that cover the earth. Closely observing weathering and erosion will help understand how the surface of the planet has been changing over the past several years and how it will change in the future as well. Weathering is the process through which rocks on the surface of the earth gradually break down into small pieces. On the other hand, erosion is the process through which the broken pieces and ...

The project is expected to solve several issues facing the hospital such as undersized facilities and safety laws mandated by the state. The project’s ...

It was graduation day, a day that depending on your disposition, may be of much significance or none at all. I woke up earlier than usual, mostly because I could not sleep much. I spent the better part of the night mulling over what would become of this day and life thereafter. As swung my feet off the bed and stepped onto the woolen mat next to my bed, I wondered whether the future would deal me a soft landing or if my paths would be rocky. I hurried off to prepare myself, dashing to the barber shop to ...

Introduction of Topic

Burden of Deep Vein Thrombosis Deep vein thrombosis is a severe preventable cause of morbidity-mortality around the globe. This disease is so silent hence difficult in diagnosing it and so it is seen as a significant challenge regarding diagnosis. The Little level of clinical suspicion and higher incidence and fatality makes deep vein thrombosis a grave concern to the world (Jaff, et al, 2011). In the United States, 1 to 2 in every 1,000 people is likely to be affect by deep vein thrombosis annually. There is also an estimation that up to 100,000 Americans scampers to ...

During an afternoon shift in a post-surgical ward, I came across several patients who had undergone surgery in the noon. John had just returned to the ward when I took charge and the nature of his surgery demanded that he be monitored very closely. From the patient information chart made available to me I understood that he had undergone a surgical procedure for an optic nerve injury. I also observed that all the observations concerning his post-operative examination were normal and suggested absolutely no cause for any anxiety. I started my usual round of the post-surgical ward by going ...

There’s a loud, ringing sound. It’s jarring, waking me from the otherwise cozy warmth that is my bed. I am forced to stick my hand, then my entire arm out from under the safety of my bedclothes in order to turn it off. To snooze or not to snooze? It will just go off in another seven minutes. I may as well get up now. The sooner I do, the sooner I get to see my best friend. Groggy, bleary eyes, rubbing sleep from my face and half stumbling I wander into the kitchen, hearing the relations ...

Abstract

The separation processes in industry are a common practice especially in the developed countries as well as in the developing world. As a result, it is a good step to improve the separation techniques to ensure a better process for the production of the finished commodities.

Therefore, the paper entails an analysis of each group of distillation columns, taking into account their ability to carry out their duties, as well as the reason ...

Bedbug manifestation has become more prevalent in the United States of late. Nowadays, the majority of the people with bedbug infestations at their homes have gotten them from hotels, public seats and from buying used furniture (Kells, 2016). I have chosen to write about this topic because it is one of the problems people in the United States are faced with. Bed Bug manifestation may also be brought about by the changes in climate. Changes in climate affect the breeding process of these insects because during warm weather; they may multiply to great numbers (Lai, Ho, Glick, & Jagdeo, 2016). ...

Introduction

The cost of manufacturing ammonia using the Haber process plant constitutes the following components: the cost of energy, raw materials, equipment, labor and sparking substances (catalysts). Energy (gas or electricity) costs are incurred to maintain the temperature of the reaction. The Harber process is operated at very high temperatures, and pressures thus higher costs of energy are incurred. Some of the raw materials consumed in the Haber process such as nitrogen and hydrogen are recovered at the end of the process. The recovered materials are recycled back to the system to reduce the cost of raw materials. Starting and ...

Project 1: Quality Measurement and Assessment

Introduction This QI project looks into improving healthcare outcomes by reducing crowding in my hospital’s emergency department (ED) setting. This QI issue considers adequate staffing and staff education as the necessary drivers towards enhanced patient flow, thus reduced ED crowding. The initiative serves as an encouragement for the facility to grow and develop its staffing and educational requirements for nurses. The idea here is that skilled and adequately staffed nurses can reduce ED crowding, thus advancing care quality and patient outcomes. My hospital recognizes patients and the staffing unit as essential elements in healthcare service delivery. The facility ...

One of the developing African countries challenged with severe health problems and requiring special attention from international organizations is Angola which has been marked by increasingly high levels of malaria incidence. Malaria is considered the main health problem haunting Angola (Schwartz et al., 2001) and this tendency has been persistent for years. The number of deaths caused by the disease has been varying but extremely high – around 21,000 cases in 2012 (UNDP, n/a). Moreover, the disease affected non-Angolan residents during the civil war in the country lasting until the early 2000s: the troops of the UN peacekeeping mission ...

Introduction

Sub- capital fracture of the femoral neck is a common injury among the ageing population and is regarded as “unsolvable fractures”. This is a growing health concern in every country as the healthcare expenditure is very high. The surgical options, especially for elderly population, highly depend on the patient’s profile, their preference and the experience of the surgeon . Mrs. Pollard, 75- year- old, sustained a left sub- capital fractured neck of femur. Due to her age and her other complications such as hypertension and Type- 2 diabetes, a total hip replacement might be a better surgical option as ...

Douglas feels deeply happy with the moment he has now. Even though the days of his early naïve childhood is far gone, he still managed to preserve his unique ability to admire the world and everything that surrounds him. “I want to feel all there is to feel, he thought.

I mustn't forget, I'm alive, I know I'm alive, I mustn't forget it tonight or tomorrow or the day after that.” (Bradbury 14) – Douglas keeps repeating it on and on, as a sacred prayer, every day, just as he ...

Euthanasia, otherwise known as assisted suicide or “death with dignity” is an incredibly challenging topic from the medical perspective, the right for autonomy, and from the religious or ethical standpoint. Generally speaking, euthanasia is not legal in most countries throughout the world and although one could understand the complexity in the nature of the practice, there is something to be said when looking at it through the experience of an individual who feels as if his or her life is not one worth living. The Spanish film, “The Sea Inside” focuses on the life of a paraplegic man who ...

Acute abdominal ache can be grouped in multiple procedures. The most regular procedure is by splitting the sources into two major categories; nonsurgical pain versus surgical, and extra abdominal versus intra-abdominal causes. A range of conditions, which vary from self-limited and benign ailment to surgical crises, might generate acute abdominal ache. An optimal tactic to detect the rationale for abdominal ache should depend on the probability of complaints, disease, and other aspects of laboratory tests, patient history, imaging studies, and findings on bodily examination (Adams, 2013). The biliary ailment is the top course for acute gastric surgery amid the ...

Application of strain theory to the criminal case for Beverly Allitt

Background information on Beverly Allitt

Beverly Allitt is a British female nurse convicted of murder and attempted murder charges in May 1993 after killing four babies and attempting to kill nine others (Marks & Richmond 2008). Her early life demonstrated incidences of attention-seeking through unconventional means such as causing injury to others or feigning illnesses. The height of her pretence was witnessed when she caused the surgical removal of her otherwise perfectly functioning appendix which she insisted was interfering with the healing of a scar she had self-inflicted. On occasions, she would tie a ...

In his August 2016 article for the Guardian, entitled “How getting more sleep could boost your salary”, Imran Rahman-Jones discusses the findings of a 2015 study on, as the title suggests, the effects of sleep on the ability of people to earn more money (Rahman-Jones, 2016). In the article, which us is clearly intended to health conscious, active workers, Rahman-Jones writes that people who get live in regions that get darker earlier in the day are more likely to earn more than those who live in regions were daylight last longer. According to Rahman-Jones, the reason for this is ...

The complexity of healthcare settings demands that care organizations have a definitive manner in which care is delivered. There are many forms of care delivery methods in nursing, but Finkelman (2012) outlines various distinct methods: total patient care/case method, team nursing, primary nursing, progressive patient care, functional nursing, care and service team models, among others. Some of the models are no longer in use in nursing practice, but they have made a significant contribution to the current models. Also, some of the models have maintained their main characteristics, but have been adapted to fit the modern demands of healthcare. ...

The healthcare sector in the U.S has significantly reviewed and modified its technical, policy and structural capabilities to help improve quality of outcomes and patient safety. There has been so much focus on the need to ensure that the healthcare system achieves the optimal value for money though eliminating the cases of illnesses, infections and injuries that have previously occurred within the settings. Despite these measures, the cases of hospital acquired Illnesses and infections have been rife. This has been associated with poor outcomes namely, high mortality rates, high morbidity rates and more glaringly the erosion of the public ...

The crash of Air France 447 is considered the biggest disaster ever to hit Air France and Airbus since the beginning of their venture into this industry.

The final investigation revealed that the accident occurred due to the inconsistent data indicated by the FMC (Flight Management Computer System) regarding the fluid ...

Introduction

The general public tends to describe sleeping as the process of just closing your eyes and letting your body rejuvenate. However, researchers have been able to come up with a comprehensive definition of sleep and it has been stated that sleep is a simple action of an individual being relatively unaware of whatever’s going around in their environment. However, this definition has been met with various contradictions due to the fact that this definition may incorporate various conditions such as hibernation or instances that the person may be in a coma whether it is medically induced or brought ...

Charles Yale Harrison was a soldier in WWI and his book Generals Die in Bed is a reflection of his war experience. He dedicated his book to the Canadian, Australian and German soldier that died in the woods near Amiens in 1918. It is hard to know exactly why Harrison wrote the book just as no one knows for sure why Leonardo Da Vinci painted the famous Mona Lisa. But certain reasons can be speculated that fit well with Harrison’s writing. Harrison hated war and realized that soldiers are mere pawns in wars that do not even understand ...

It is beautiful just like you my Darling." It was easy to write about the night and the moon and stars and Camilla's ...

Varney the Vampyre Analysis

Varney the Vampyre by James Malcolm Rymer is a very early vampire story that predates Bram Stoker's Dracula by 50 years (Dracula n.p.). James Malcolm Rymer was apparently the given name for a writer of many popular novels and stories in London in the 1840s through the 1860s. He wrote and published works under many names however, but one of his specialties was novels and stories about the supernatural, horror, and terror. He was a “hack” writer, meaning that he wrote voluminously on many subjects for popular publications. “Hack” is generally defined as “a mediocre and disdained writer” (“Hack ...

There has always been a fascination with the occult and paranormal when it comes to various works of fiction. Authors love to create these creatures that seem to come from the darkest nightmares and send chills down the readers, or viewers, spines. This has been a fad since that continues to grow and be expanded upon which allows old legends to be remade into grisly renditions or for newer monsters to take the scenes. One of the most iconic and popular horror creature in the American film industry is Freddy Krueger. Freddy made his debut in 1984 when he ...

It can be estimated that it takes an average number of 200 builders to build a three bed roomed house in a period of about four to five months. The statistical estimation of the time frame and the number of people that can build the three bed roomed house is dependent on the number of workers that are engaged in the construction. Therefore, the number of people required to complete the building in the specified time forms the independent variable in this scenario. On the other hand, the time frame in which the house will be completed is constant, ...

Coursename Pressure ulcers are damaged areas of the skin, which develop due to the long-term effect of pressure or friction in the areas where the bone is close to the skin, such as heels, sacrum, ischial tuberosity, lateral malleoli and greater trochanters. The epidemiology of pressure ulcers proves that today, despite the profound understanding of them, pressure ulcers are still a serious global health care problem, which affects millions of people worldwide. For example, in the US every year more than 2.5 million people suffer from the pressure ulcers (Cuddigan, Berlowitz, and Ayello 208-215). In 2013 pressure ulcers caused ...

Ethics

Introduction Moral decisions will require moral deliberation and reasoning, which usually take place with particular perspectives, three of which are critically important. These are: virtue ethics, deontology, and utilitarianism. One similarity of these three principles is that they are required for moral decisions making.

Virtue ethics majorly focuses of what makes the character traits of individuals (Slote, 2006). It dictates that a person will act in a certain way not because of the consequences that may come later but rather because it is what a virtuous person is expected to do. Here, the person is responsible for the decision-making ...

Ventilator-associated pneumonia

Abstract The intensive care unit in most hospitals plays the role of providing care to patients dealing with life-threatening conditions. The technological and other set ups in these hospital units are vital in ensuring that these patients continue to receive the best regarding care while with the intentions of having them emerge with desirable outcomes. There are however challenges relating to the care that these patients receive since, in most cases, they are usually under mechanical ventilation. A patient under this condition faces the risk of developing ventilator-associated pneumonia if the ventilators are not handled with the required care. ...

Many sleep disorders affect different people at different ages. These diseases present with different but related symptoms. The most common feature is an effect on the patterns of sleep of the patients. It is proper that both the patient as well as his or her family is aware of the expected symptoms and effects once an individual is diagnosed with any sleep disorder. Therefore, family health education is a crucial tool in the awareness creation among the family members. The focus of this paper is to highlight the signs, symptoms, treatment, and complications of certain mental disorders.

Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia

Cardiac arrhythmias often require immediate medical care that may include resuscitation (Ray, 2004). The diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias can be challenging particularly in situations whereby the patient is asymptomatic and ECG findings are normal between symptomatic episodes (Cruickshank, 2008). Distinguishing between supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia is also a challenge (Australian Resuscitation Council, 2008). Cardiac arrhythmia should be suspected in patients with a history of syncope, near syncope, palpitations, and/or chest pain (Cruickshank, 2008). This paper will justify why monomophic ventricular tachycardia is the most likely diagnosis of a male patient who collapsed abruptly and has hypotension (BP 63/38), tachycardia ( ...

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is a sudden death of apparently healthy child aged up to 1 year as a result of cessation of breathing and heart failure, the cause of which cannot be established at the mortem expertise. Sometimes the syndrome is called as “death at the crib” or death for no reason. However, there are causes or risk factors for the development of this poorly studied phenomenon, and the parents, eliminating them from their life, can save the life and health of the child. SIDS is not a disease; it is a posthumous diagnosis that is exhibited ...

Introduction

Moby Dick is considered the great American novel. There are many reasons Moby Dick has earned this award, from the accolades of English critics in Melville’s day to the positive commentary by Literary critics and theorists today. Melville was a master of sentence style, and wrote many complex and highly structured sentences in the novel. Likewise, he filled his text with allusions and references to the greatest works of literature, including the Bible, Paradise Lost, King Lear, and the works of Ralph Waldo Emerson. While all of these elements contribute to the greatness of Moby Dick they are ...

Question 1: Describe the basis of the principle of superposition as well as why we cannot date a 1 million year old hominid with radiocarbon dating. According to Hull (191), the principle of superposition states that for any layers or sequence of surface-deposited material, a bed is older than the one above it and younger than the one below it. However, this is not always the case since rocks and beds can buckle causing younger rocks to go underneath older bed. Therefore, the principle should be applied critically. Basically, the principle states that younger rockers lie on older rocks ( ...

Introduction

Seagrass beds are amongst the most productive marine habitats and their wide-ranging distribution. They provide homes and food sources for many marine animals, prevent erosion and provide nurseries for many commercial and recreational fish species. Despite their importance to the environment, seagrass beds are increasingly being decimated by the results of human activities. The destruction of seagrass beds may have serious consequences on the biodiversity of coastal regions and as a consequence, may negatively impact on commercial and recreational fishing, and ultimately all marine species.
