This assignment will discuss the nurse’s role with an individual elderly male patient they have been involved with, in their treatment for a diabetic foot ulcer within a community setting. An overview of the patient’s care will be explained including an explanation of type two diabetes and blood glucose control for this class. The development of the ulcer will be explored and the factors that influence it within the community setting for district nurses. This essay will critically analyse the role of the nurse in establishing learning opportunities and issues that relate to the healing of a diabetic ulcer, whilst facilitating the patient’s home environment and correspondingly educating them on their changing health care. The importance and need for risk assessment scales in clinical practice is also discussed using the Waterlow scale. It will also review and discuss relevant literature relating to diabetic foot ulcers, their development and treatment, then reflect on the nurse’s own experiences in clinical practice and evidence based practice.

The article that I have chosen is the issue the National Football League (NFL) dealing with the protest of players taking a knee during the national anthem for police brutality. Fans on both sides of the controversial issue are calling for a boycott. One side view point is that the protest is unpatriotic, and is disrespecting the country, the flag, and members of the military services. While the other side perception of the ordeal is the originator of the protest, Colin Kaepernick, is being blackballed from the league for protesting police brutality happening to people of color. This is leading to process loss calculated by lower viewer ratings. This will affect the revenue in a negative way in future contracts with network television companies. As each day passes, the players are becoming disgruntle, the owners are becoming frustrated, and the fans disappointment is leading to other avenues of entertainment. To bring the situation to an amicable solution or process gain, the owners and the players must come together. The first imperative the NFL should do is by implementing taskwork processes to increase symbiosis between the owners and players. The second assignment the league needs to take is building teamwork processes to strengthen
Today’s cheerleading maneuvers, according to Pennington, are “. . . turning cheerleaders into daredevils” (Pennington). Pennington’s perspective of how the sport has continued to maintain its sense of glamor while knee braces and ice bags are as common as mascara appeals to the emotions of the reader. However, Pennington shifts his thoughts to the fact more than four million participants cheer at different levels. The author suggests “. . . cheerleaders now commonly do tricks atop pyramids or are tossed 20 feet in the air to perform flips and twists” (Pennington). The Cheerleaders quoted by Pennington, focus on how accidents occurred and the cumulative results. In essence, by inserting personal injury stories, the author has appealed to his reader’s sympathy and compassion. Throughout this article credibility and appeals to ethos are consistently strong as Pennington builds and supplements his article with credible examples. Using an intelligent and familiar tone, while incorporating common language allows Pennington to develop greater and added reliable

The topic of study is workers’ compensation injuries to the knee, back, and shoulder. The specific area of interest is if there is any correlation between these specific injuries and rates of depression. Workers’ compensation injuries are significant source of injury morbidity in the United States. The costs of medical care are approximately $67 billion in direct costs for workers compensation injury and illnesses. By determining if there is a correlation between workers compensation injuries and depression it can help insurance carriers and employers mitigate costs (Asfaw & Souza, 2012). The research question for this paper is: Does a Workers’ Compensation injury to the back, neck, or shoulder cause higher rates of depression?
In reviewing the case of New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc. it is clear that there are a few major problems that the company is facing. First of all, New Balance falls behind its other major competitors, Nike, Adidas and Reebok, in the area of marketing. Unlike its competitors, New Balance does not undertake celebrity endorsements. This puts them at a disadvantage when it comes to brand building. This also causes the company to lose out somewhat on gaining awareness on a global scale as it lacks endorsements in major sporting events. Most global brand names generate strong brand recognition through celebrity endorsements in sporting events that would give them the needed momentum to carry their brand name further into the global market.
What do athletic trainers do? “Athletic training encompasses the prevention, examination, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of emergent, acute or chronic injuries and medical conditions”("College Athletic Trainer") . Athletic trainers help those who get hurt in sports of any athletic activities. Athletic trainers “are highly qualified, multi-skilled healthcare professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions”("Becoming an Athletic Trainer - CAATE"). Athletic trainers help a variety of different ages of people. “Athletic trainers improve functional outcomes and specialize
Nike has been accused of using child labor in the production of its soccer balls and shoes for Nike in Pakistan. While Pakistan has laws against child labor, the government has taken very little action to terminate it. It is said that only a boycott by the United States and other nations will have any impact on child-based industries. In addition, the U.S constitution states that child labor is an illegal and inhumane practice and any U.S. company found guilty practicing and encouraging it will be prosecuted. The World Trade Organization (WTO) prohibits member nations, like the United States, from discriminating against the importation of goods made by children.
Have you ever thought of all of the negative problems with competitive sports? Well when my class had to write a draft about competitive sports I choosed against. The reason why is because of all of the injuries such as concussions, broken bones, and torn muscles. There is also, too much time and commitment that you need to put into competitive sports. But one of the huge factors is that competitive sports start to develop a bad attitude. And this is what i’m going to be writing about. Because I felt very strongly about this topic. Because my self personally I have dealt with a lot of bad attitudes coming from my teammates. They get mad because the coach yells at them then they take the anger out on other teammates which can put the team down. And

An individual’s contribution towards teamwork is a hidden factor towards high performance that not many people understand until they have had significant experience working with various teams. While interdependence amongst all team members is something people are familiar with, one tends to undermine the necessity and intensity of individual contributions. Hearing Professor Hutchinson’s lecture he made me realize that there is an “I” in team which motivated me further to improve my individual performance on the team (“Building Effective Teams”). Our first team deliverable was the Team Contract which encompassed all our goals, expectations and formal rules that would govern our team’s performance. After delivering our team contract, every team member had a clear understanding as to how our team would function. We had a common goal and very organic values and ideas.
Between the indifferent and the protestor, we find a marvelous creature called an athlete whose species is varied into many different types; the marshmallow, the jelly bean, and the rock. Athletes can be found everywhere- in the classroom, locker room, the gym, the thick of the game, and in church. Places people will not find athletes are up late, in bars, missing church, in trouble, or being disrespectful to his elders. An athlete is made of wondrous stuff. Athletes have the eyes and the steadiness of an architect, the muscles of a body builder, the speed of a bullet, the reflexes of a cat, the heart of a lion, and the faith of a saint. To his coach an athlete is a modeled player, a perfectionist to be encouraged, a student to be taught, and a dream come true. To his teammates an athlete is a hard worker, unselfish, modest, determined, and understands the meaning of teamwork. To himself the athlete is never good enough, aware that he is an example to others, the reason his team lost, but never why they won. An athlete is an amazing being. People may dislike him, but you have to admire his performance; doubt his capabilities, but never his courage; question his efficiency, but never his effort. People might be able to defeat the athlete, but never make him quit.
