Saunders (2012) states that the treatment of a breech delivery requires the paramedic team to work simultaneously and efficiently to perform several interventions. He states that the paramedic team should undertake a primary survey and introduce themselves to the patient on arrival. From the initial patient contact, the paramedics should begin providing reassurance to the patient and their family, both verbally and non-verbally (Saunders, 2012). Reassurance aims to reduce patient anxiety, create a rapport with the patient and encourage an environment of care, respect and understanding (Pincus et al., 2013). The paramedic team should complete a secondary survey, including vital signs and a complete patient history, particularly pregnancy relevant
911 operators are the beginning to every emergency others are faced with and also hold a huge role in getting these situations resolved, but there are many misconceptions and stereotypes that argue the difficulty in their field of work. Stereotypes have been around since the 19th century and were brought about to characterize a certain group of people in which the way they behave, intending for it to represent the group as a whole. A misconception derives from stereotypes but, more often than not the misconceptions show not to be true for those certain groups of people. Stereotypes and misconceptions are brought upon naturally, and one will even stereotype others without realizing it. Being a 911 operator is a job where you sit at a desk

After long summers of lounging around the pool having other people watch you from the tall white stands, your parents tell you that you need to get a job if you want to have gas to drive your car around with friends. So if the ideas of being indoors and not going back to school with a great tan frighten you then you should definitely think about being a lifeguard. Your friend who is a lifeguard tells you that the YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) is hiring kids that are sixteen years old and up. You decide that you want to get paid to get tan and the pay is awesome as most starting guards get paid at $7.00 by the hour.
There was inappropriate staffing in the Emergency Room which was a factor in the event. There was one registered nurse (RN) and one licensed practical nurse (LPN) on duty at the time of the incident. Additional staff was available and not called in. The Emergency Nurses Association holds the position there should be two registered nurses whose responsibility is to prov...
When I was little everyone told me I would make a great lawyer, they said I loved to argue. For a long time I believed them, I do love to argue. However, the older I got the more I realized that it wasn’t the arguing I loved, it was the dialog. How two people can have the exact same experience, but have two totally different views about that experience baffled me. When I was in high school I struggled with some things that I didn’t quite understand at the time. I didn’t understand why my teammates would listen to my male co-captain instead of me even when we said the exact same thing. I didn’t understand why my teammates would skip practice or do something that might get them kicked off of the team. We all loved water polo and had a great

On the 7th of March in 2018, I attended the Community experience with the EMS team at Fire station of area one. This station is located at the northeastern corner of nine mile road. Upon arrival I introduce myself to the team. Every member of the team was presented in a professional manner that included: one’s skills, education, and the years of experience. During the meeting, several subjects were discussed such as: nursing student’s objective from this experience, Clarifying tasks and tactics, protocols and daily operations. All the tasks were executed with each member of the team with integrity, honesty and beneficence to the warren community. During the twelve hours shift, there
Every year communities struggle each year around the nation with issues of life safety. In 2012, the nation’s fire departments responded to 31,854,000 responses that resulted in the deaths 0f 2,855 civilians and injuring 16,500 causing an estimated $12,427 million dollars in damage. (United States Fire Administration, 2014) These incidents put at risk 345,950 career and 783,300 volunteer firefighters that resulted in the deaths of 81 individuals (U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 2013) and nearly 70,000 reported injuries. ( Karter & Molis, 2013) These numbers represent incidents that are determined to be in the line of duty but do not take into consideration the long-term health risk issues that may develop. Evidence shows that he hazards associated with Fire and Emergency Services are consistent across the board whether paid or volunteer and jeopardize the lives and health of each individual, placing administrative and physical control measures reduces this risk to firefighter within an organization. While it is impossible to eliminate the hazards firefighters face, it is important to identify these hazards as the first step in reducing the potential for loss of life and wellbeing both physically and mentally.

In 2005, Congress reauthorized the legislation for the NHTSA. Under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equality Act: A Legacy for Users or SAFETEA-LU, Congress then created the Federal Interagency Committee on Emergency Medical Services.

Medical Assistance is integrated into Law Enforcement, Fire Fighters, and anyone in public safety because it’s an honorable career and works to improve the safety of the community in which we live in.
