According to Gulanick and Myers (2013), the nursing process has been identified as the most appropriate strategy which can be employed in trying to ensure that the most suitable care is provided to a particular individual. Ensuring that the patient gets the best out of the Caregiving process should form the primary objective of any nursing undertaking. Addition studies (de Oliveira et al. 2012; Weber and Kelley, 2013), show carrying out a thorough assessment of a patient is a significant step as it forms the basis of a care plan. Studies by (Papathanasiou et al., 2013; Morrissey, 2016) showed ...

Is power generative or destructive? Can a man have both love and power at the same time? Since we are talking about characteristics, it is difficult to sum up an answer.. Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.” (Engebretson) This quote coming from one of the wisest human beings will remind us directly of Macbeth. Macbeth did his best to show the ...

INFANT DEVELOPEMT

The development of infants comprises of series of psychological events that determine the behavior in the later stages. Children are often considered to develop numerous senses in the early stages or at the infantry stages. Such thoughts are normally useful in the latter stages of human life and the adoption of certain behaviors that identify individuals. It is paramount to highlight that the understanding of infantry is fundamental in understanding the child behavior and their subsequent interactions in the future (Salomonsson & Sleed, 2010). The caregivers are one group in the society that must understand the development of the child ...

The evening started with the three of us sitting on a soft leather couch that had two domesticate plants breathing out an exotic fragrance. The candles set upon the table creating warmth on our faces with an equally soothing light. Three cups of coffee reflected those lights quietly. I looked over at my friends; one of them who had been my best friend for nearly six years and next to her sat her boyfriend. At the time I thought I was among friends, but the “joke” was on me. Her boyfriend was a little bit choppy and obviously stronger ...

The simplest and most basic form of VR is expressed as a 3-dimensional image which can be interactively explored at the desktop or personal computer (PC) (Huang & Hsuan, p. 274-283). This interaction is often achieved by the ...

Introduction

In the present paper, we present the findings received in two experiments conducted in class. Both experiments deal with reflexes. Before we proceed directly to the obtained data, it is necessary to give the general overview about the nature of reflexes. A reflex action is defined as an action involving an involuntary and spontaneous movement (Purves et al. 2004). However, the stimulus is needed to observe the movement. A stimulus can be expressed in several ways – most commonly it presupposes the use of some mechanical force on a particular part of the body.

Sometimes reality is not an effective medium by which to view the world. In such instances the human eye often looks beyond what is seen in order to reveal what is hidden in plain view, behind the known and mundane aspects that the world has to offer. In those moments it becomes obvious that no matter how mundane a thing is, no matter how commonplace it might seem, there is always something to be seen in the breaths between one click of the camera to the next. There is beauty throughout all aspects of the world, all one needs ...

The Concept of Happiness in Developing Nations

Happiness is a very complex emotion that has various interpretations and causes. In an individual perspective, it is invoked by an extraordinary event or while experiencing feelings such as triumph and pleasure. Some experience it because of an intangible or tangible item given by someone important. Happiness also works with other emotions such as love and faith. However, determining a country’s happiness is a different story considering their differences in political, economic and social aspects. Some argue that developed countries are happier than others but others contradict this sentiment, stressing that developing nations are actually happier than their ...

The term globalization has gained significant attention in the past few decades. People view it from different perspectives. Some see it as the driver of the world’s economic development and as a process that is irreversible and inevitable. On the other hand, others approach it with hostility and sometimes fear. This kind of attitude is driven by the notion that globalization increases inequality between nations thus causing negative impacts on the social progress and threatening of the living standards and the employment (TOE 10). A recent research study by the International Monetary Fund indicates that the globalization is offering ...

Scenario: “A nurse is assessing a client who reports pain in the leg that is aggravated upon walking. The client also has a small ulcer located at the end of the toe. The nurse suspects the client to have arterial insufficiency.” Given that small ulcer at the toe may be as a result of poor blood flow to the client’s leg, the nurse should examine the client’s medical history in order to determine the cause of pain in the leg. The nurse should pay more attention to what caused arterial insufficiency to the client’s leg. Lack of blood ...

Abstract Continuous Flight Augers (CFA) require special expertise to construct but done properly they are economical and very successful for areas with inconsistent load carrying capacities. Examples include using CFA pilings for guard rails, highway reinforcement, highway junction improvements and buildings. The CFA pilings are similar to driven and bored piles but offer different advantages when working in good to marginal soils and in projects where the load capacity needs vary. An auger with a hollow tube is used to bore the hole and then when the auger tip reaches the final depth concrete is added as the auger ...

Reggae music was born on the island of Jamaica in the late 1960s. It is a fairly recent music genre that has roots in mento, R&B and Ska music that were contemporary musical movements. Recorded music was relatively late in coming to Jamaica with the first recording studio opening in 1951 and recording “mento” music which was a fusion of European and African folk dance music. American R&B music also became widely available around that time. The genre of Reggae may have langered in obscurity and never achieved international status and recognition had it not been for it’s most iconic ...

The public opinion in China is shaped by the influence of the media to a considerable extent. The control of the media has spread to the realm of politics in the nation and thus, the media sector possesses incredible power, being supported by over 2,000 magazine and newspaper publications.

Two little girl scouts made their way down the quite neighbourhood street, dragging a rickety wagon behind them. Its wheels squeaked on every rotation, burdened by the dozens of boxes of cookies. The girls very in a cheerful spirit, singing songs that children often sing, skipping after every step of two they took. It was a sunny day, yet the sun seemed a little dim, its light and warmth touching the earth, but not quite. Autumn was stirring, causing leaves to waft down from the drying branches of trees. The song of the girls, the beat of their steps, their intermittent giggling, and ...

What are women without men? Truly, it is probably hard to imagine a world where there are no men to perform all the backbreaking labor and make all the unfazed decisions needed to run a society smoothly. The men were outside, making a living, while the women stay at home, tend to the children and maintain the household. This has been the long-time standard until women started to feel that they can do more than that. Given that train of thought, it has come to this era in which women can go toe-to-toe with men in almost every field of expertise. This ...

It is not a new idea, but a recent CNN report (CNN.com, 2009) brings into question again whether there is a bias in the medical community against certain categories of people, most notably African-Americans.

The report, entitled “Does your doctor judge you based on your color?”, describes the experience of a black man named John Reid who went to the emergency room with an infected toe, a result, he was sure, of his diabetes. The doctor who saw him immediately ordered an amputation. Appalled by the decision, he demanded to see the head doctor, who instead ordered a series of IV antibiotics and physical therapy. ...

Given my cultural background, I always believed in the equality of genders. I come from a country where gender discrimination against employees is a punishable offense by law. The freedom and rights that women have in the United States, Europe as well as developed countries, although often debated by feminists, is considered by most to be quite liberal. Hence, I grew up taking the rights of women for granted and believing that they enjoyed the same treatment across the globe. I was aware of Islam as a major world religion but had never studied its tenets, particularly with regards to women. I ...
