1. One-way Country Manner uses effective and cost efficient care services is by utilizing the use of mechanical lifts and ceiling lifts. By using mechanical lifts, it helps the patients and staff safely maneuver patients to where they need to be; whether it be the chair, bed, or bathroom. By using the mechanical lifts, Country Manner is reducing the fall rates of patients because they are now safely transferring between surfaces. This will also reduce the rate of injured employees because they are not having to bear all of the weight on their own bodies. Also, using mechanical lifts can help enable patients to gain strength back to their extremities by actually using their legs to push and stand, which they might not be able to do on their own. When patients …show more content…
Also by using mechanical lifts they might be able to ambulate patients that they would not typically ambulate with a transfer belt because it is unsafe. By using a mechanical lift to ambulate a patient you are using the lift to help support the patient instead of depending on the staff which will also reduce the risk for staff getting hurt and improve quality of life for the patient.
2. Using mechanical lifts was really the only effective and cost efficient health care service that I saw at Country Manner. I was going to mention about how they use blue washcloths to wash up patients’ perineal area but the more I thought about it I don’t really think that is effective and cost efficient either because now you have to pay for more water, laundry detergent and staff to was the clothes. Not to mention using the wash
When looking into works of literature, some stories seem to be similar to others. They can have a similar setting, point of view, theme, or sense of language and style. However, all of these points could be very different as well and could cover different theme or style. Flannery O’Conner’s “Good Country People” and Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use” have some contrasting elements, such as their points of view and use of symbolism, but their similarities in the underlying theme, language, and the setting of these stories reveal how these two stories are impacted by education on both the individual and their family.
One of the most common forms of errors found in the medical field is the recycling of soiled equipment. The repeated use of dirty medical equipment is found commonly in the poor regions of the world
In Good Country People, Flannery O’Connor explores the complexities of human behavior and how common stereotypes shape the response that these behaviors receive. The title, Good Country People, suggests this work of fiction will tell a tale of modest people living in the countryside as they display neighborly etiquette by performing a series of good deeds for one another. The expectation is that the characters will set an admirable example of how one should conduct his or her life, and thus challenge the reader to embark on a journey of personal improvement. However, this is not a tale of such inspiration, instead it presents characters whose lives (and actions) are quite complicated. None of the characters can be classified exclusively
- If all of the options were explored, and patient is given antibiotics and is treated without any pain or suffering than the treatment identifies with the ethnical principles of autonomy, non-maleficence, and veracity. In turn, Mrs. Dawson will be happy with the outcome of the procedure.
MKT 4410 was a very meaningful class for me, and it helped me to understand and analyze the international market better. Now, the current international market is becoming more complex and difficult to understand because of the globalization of information and the political policies of countries. Although the international market is risky to enter, I learned enough professional knowledge about international marketing that can help me to survive in the foreign market. Also, Country Manager was a very useful tool for me to learn the knowledge by doing simulations. I learned the complex relations between every decision that we made in the market and how it might affect our firm’s success in the market. During the process, I think there are two most important things I learned from Country Manager; they are: knowing and analyzing the consumers
The two articles that had a profound impact to my understanding of race, class and gender in the United States was White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack by Peggy McIntosh and Imagine a Country by Holly Sklar. McIntosh explains the keys aspects of unearned advantage (a privilege that one group hold over another) as well as conferred dominance (the act of voluntarily giving another group power) and the relationship that these factors hold when determine power of a social group. Additionally, the purpose of McIntosh’s article was to demonstrate the privilege that certain individuals carry and how that translates to the social structures of our society. Furthermore, conferred dominance also contributes to the power of the dominant group
Since the beginning of history, human society has centered around war. People throughout the ages have attempted to understand why wars occur, and the effect of war on the people who fight in them. Authors have utilized the power of language to attempt to grasp the struggle and the horror of war, and make it accessible to the public. For example, Hemingway’s “In Another Country” and Bierce’s “Coup de Grace” both provide a glimpse into different aspects of war. Although they both pertain to the idea of war, “In Another Country” focuses on the psychological trauma of war while “Coup de Grace” showcases the horror of war. This is visible in the theme, setting, and characters of both stories.
In other hand nurses, performing one of their priority duties of maintaining client safety must utilize physical restraints, like side rails, to limit client movement in order to accomplish this task (Butts & Rich, 2015). However, the paternalistic utilization of physical restrictions without patient's educated assent is ethically unjustifiable and is an unequivocal infringement of their independence (Schenker, Fernandez, Sudore, & Schillinger, 2010). The obligation to regard individual autonomy ought to be reached out to an obligation to regard the autonomy of patient who is being controlled. Just along these lines can their human respect, right, and personal satisfaction be improved (Johnstone,
In conclusion, it is evident that patient falls can cause a multitude of problems and for many hospitals and nursing facilities falls seem to be an issue. Working to reduce these falls with more than one intervention has proven beneficial. Preventing the number of falls in a hospital will not only work to prevent the injuries that arise when a patient has fallen it will also help to reduce the number of times a patient is readmitted to the hospitals, and delaying patients recovery.
Throughout this unit, country and story have both played an important part in my development and understanding on Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders.
There has been debate on whether or not restraints are safe for patients. Tammelleo (1992) states that the use of restraints cause approximately 200 deaths every year, some of which include instances where a restraint was not necessary for the patient. Misuse is another important factor in the safeness and effectiveness of bed restraints. Misuse and tragic accidents have lead to the involvement of the FDA and recommendation calls that every medical institution must have and practice protocols for proper use of restraints (72). Tammelleo goes on to discuss recommended alternatives that should be explored before resorting to the use of restraints. Restraining patients may seem like the easier and quicker way to handle a patient, it is not always the best. Some alternative measures include wedging pads or pillows against the sides of a wheelchair to keep the patient in a good position, soften lights, provide soft music, spend extra ...
...ing student would take the patient to the bathroom, while they are in there get pain meds for my other patient, get the first patient back to bed, check in on the patient that is doing well and let them know I would be back with their meds shortly, go talk to family, and then do the discharge. Its basic and one piece could turn around that whole scenario. With prioritization this can also help the nurse save time, because then one knows how much time is needed for each task that needs to be done.
The use of restraints is a common practice in acute care and long-term care settings. According to a study regarding the use of physical restraints in 40 acute care hospitals in the United States, the overall rate of restraint use is 50 restrained patients per 1,000 patient’s days; an estimated 27,000 people are in physical restraints each day (Minnick, Mion, Johnson, Catrambone, & Leipzig, 2007). Restraints are often used in hospital settings to keep a person from hurting themselves or doing harm to others. It is also used to prevent falls. Using restraints can cause several problems and adverse patient outcomes. It has been found that physical restraints are associated with increased rates of respiratory and elimination problems, circulation
Given from the short situation that was provided, I agree that cultural difference between both Fred and the executive were values of Fred and the company. The company instantly chose Fred to be the representor for the company, because the personal qualities that he held as a fluent German speaker. They were more so concerned about the individual achievement rather than as a group. The nature of Fred’s culture is shown through his speech as he introduced his presentation with a few funny anecdotes to set a more relaxed and receptive environment. Even though, the assumption was made that this would lighten up the mood of the executives, it was the basis of the problem. In this situation, there is a lack of common ground between presentation style, individualism, and collectivism cultural values, thoughts, and goals. Being a superior, I would research the
What comes to mind when you think of at the average United States hospital room? White walls, squeaky green but easy to clean linoleum flooring, frightening medical equipment, a tiny television, and one small chair for visitors are often some of the items that come to mind. Patients are placed in an environment with an institutional feel and little emphasis on aesthetics and are expected to heal, recover and rehabilitate as quickly as possible. The measure of success for healthcare organizations had a primary
