1. In this class, I learned many personal care skills such as peri-care, assisting an individual to eat, dressing, and transferring them using lifts and slings. I faced a few problems while providing peri-care to an individual. In providing peri-care, a person has to clean up the genital area and also to change a diaper of a client. I found it very awkward at first because it was my first experience in my life to provide someone with a peri-care. I faced difficulties while changing the diaper of the client; I was confused which side of the diaper should be up and which should be downward. I also have to take care of not to use the same wipe again and again, also to change the gloves while providing peri-care in order prevent the risk of infection. …show more content…
In most of the steps, while providing the personal care I faced some problems, but there were some steps in the skills that I performed well. I was able to move the individual to the left and right side safely, in order to change the diaper and provide him a peri-care. I was also taking care of to provide a privacy and keep confidentiality at all time during I was providing the peri-care.
There were some steps where I need to work on for next time. For example, while providing peri-care, I need more practice while changing the diaper of the client because I was facing problems during doing this step during providing the peri-care. I think I also need to work on my proper body mechanics for my own good because when I was providing the personal care to the client.
3. A person providing assistance and support to the people with disabilities should possess many positive feelings and qualities, in order to provide the best service to the clients. One of my positive feeling or quality is that I am very calm and patience. While I was providing the personal care to the clients at my practicum, I was very calm and this feeling of mine enhanced my ability to perform the skills better. For example, if I am calm and have patience then I will concentrate better on providing the assistance to the clients regardless of any other disturbance. Hence, I will complete my work without any

Immigrants all over the world come to the United States for a search of a new life and new opportunities. Just like any other human being, they just want to have a better job and a new life. Many argue that undocumented immigrants are harming the United States. Donald Trump wants to deport all undocumented immigrants because the only thing that the audience knows about undocumented immigrants are the bad things that they cause. What if I told you that not all undocumented immigrants harm the United States? President Barack Obama was quoted in an article emphasizing that, “We’re deporting people that shouldn’t be deported. We’re not deporting folks that are dangerous and need to be deported.” (Sanders). We should only deport those people who are causing dangerous activities and harming the United States. Undocumented immigrants should not be deported and should be able to get at least a work permit because they contribute to the United States by having an impact to the economy, they do not commit as many crimes as you think, and the country spends too much money on border security.
Another early complication is infection. Some causative organisms of infection are skin flora and colonic flora. Colonic flora are caused by the dirty environment of the diaper. Most infections can be prevented with good hygiene procedures, including local wound care. Good hygiene includes washing hands prior to and after changing baby’s diaper.

America is known for being a ‘melting pot’ when it comes to diversity. There are so many people from so many different countries residing in the United States today. America was actually founded by immigrants that migrated to the Western continents in search of freedom. That was the mentality that America was founded on yet today, immigrants coming to America in search of freedom or refuge are not being welcomed. The undocumented immigrants that are already residing in the United States continue to fight to keep their life here with their family and community where they feel safe and at home. Unauthorized Immigrants living in the United States today, who contribute to our society, our economy, and our work force should not be deported.
At times, residents who were born in America see these undocumented individuals as if they should not have the privilege of living here in our free nation. But what we need to remember is that most illegal immigrants are; law-abiding, in order to stay in America and avoid deportation Aliens must abide by the law. Undocumented immigrant must also to tax-paying, which everyone who makes a purchases in America is paying sales tax; therefore, so are immigrant also if illegal immigrants are not paying their taxes they run the higher risk of being focused to go back home, since tax evasion is a criminal act.

Illegal immigrations are slowly increasing into the United States. As Dianne Solis says, "In 2012, Texas had an estimated 1.7 million immigrants who were in the U.S. illegally, up from about 1.5 million before the recession began in 2007." Each year the percentage of illegal immigration keep going up, because they are crossing the border without any permission. Many people believe that some illegal immigrants are not criminals and that they have come to America only to work. Not true, believe or not, not all illegal immigrants are crossing into the United State to find work. However, if they do want to work, they have already committed a crime by illegally entering the United States. Therefore, illegal immigration benefits the US economy through additional of sex trafficking, government assistance, and cheap wages.
Child providers need to know the correct way to change a diaper and appropriate ways to teach children to use the toilet in order to prevent the spread of illness.
Developing confidence, and competence is a challenge faced by novice nurses (Morrell & Ridgway, 2014).

During my preceptorship placement, I have the opportunity to continue to cultivate my confidence, and prepare to begin my practice as an independent graduate nurse. In the reflection, I will discuss how I have gradually become a confident practitioner through my experiences in my clinical placement, and especially those in my preceptorship placement.

... in caring for the patient. While bed-bathing my patient I used my interpersonal, listening and communication skills. These helped me when I was talking and giving instructions to my patient. I discovered how important communication is in nursing between the nurse and the patient in order to understand each other fo example asking a patient for consent. Moreover, it is during bed-bathing that the nurse and patient can form a therapeutic relationship leading the patient to trust the nurse. During bed-bathing my patient I also checked to see the skin for example bruises and pressure sores. Since communication and listening skills are vital in nursing, I will, therefore, need to improve my skills so I can be a better nurse in the future. Moreover, next time I should not let my feelings get in the way when approaching a similar or same situation like this in the future.
Given the fact that immigrants bring new products, technologies, medicines that creates jobs for many Americans, which they have always been the asset to the U.S labor force and economy. Through immigration, many have given a better opportunity to have a good life and find the job that can support their families.

Illegal immigrants are beneficial to the country’s economy since they come over and join the work force and provide contribution to the economy. When illegals come over they usually try and join job markets which require low skills and are easy for them to do and hide from being caught. Most of the times they get false documentation so they can pay taxes and blend in with the rest of the people.
