1. What do you anticipate could be challenges for using a screening assessment in an acute care setting? The patient has to be alert and able to do the screening. The patient can have a several health issue that would make the screening challenging. 2. What would be some challenges to ensure adequate hydration for persons needing thickened liquids The challenge with a person needing thickened liquids is that the texture of the thick fluids makes them feel full and also the taste suppression associated with the increase of thickness provides a little motivation to drink. 3. What nursing interventions could you use to promote hydration for persons needing thickened liquids The nurse can evaluate hydration status by assessing and calculating
I have to pull two alleles (two straws) from the bag to represent one fish because fishes like humans get two alleles one from their father and one from their mother.
On account of theses limits other tools that are more efficient, objective and accurate are necessary to enhance acute hospital care. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE 2007) have highlighted the importance of a systemic approach and advocated the use of EWS to efficiently identify and response to pa...

The first issue is two nurses failed to show up for work without calling. This issue will take about a week to resolve. The first step is to immediately ensure that their shifts for the day are covered. Then, I would review the attendance policy that is currently in place. I would verify that there is an attendance policy and ensure that it is being enforced. Following the policy review I would document the occurrence in the respective employee files. Lastly, I would set time to meet with the employees individually and go over the policy and the expectations.

date with the latest software and security patches. Reputable antivirus programs such as Norton Security, McAfee Antivirus, and Bitdefender Antivirus and firewall programs should be installed and kept up to date for maximum protection.
I believe in order to actually change this policy it would take fighting legislation in congress.
...ntroduction of these two initiatives, there has been documented evidence of reduced incidences. Unfortunately, the human factor is still and will always be an issue. Success in clinical environments will only come if these tools are implemented and used properly, not just as “a tick box exercise” (Featherstone, et al., 2010).
rating scales that are prepared with the client or through clinical check-ins. The upside to this
All these tools are useful in assessing the risk of a patient, it is easy to assess a person for risk, but the problem is how to prioritize what risk is greater. The only way that we can prioritize their safety is when the risk of them coming to harm is greater than their ability to manage the risk (Lloyd 2010). These tools are very good to risk assess Julie’s for any violence problems, once these assessments are completed it will help nurse's come up with a plan to help reduce the risk
Evaluate the implementation and process of IDR in at least 2 acute care settings in Saskatchewan, with at least one in Saskatoon.
...nt for early detection of different diseases. Although they have been somewhat effective in the past, they need to be updated and improved so a wider range of diseases can be detected. Among these checkups, an emphasis should be made on checking for congenital heart defects, especially those who are hard to detect. This should be a priority because a baby with a CCHD could be at risk in the future. Furthermore, children who have a heart disease such as Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome are at greater risk. In these cases, early detection is key for eliminating this types of conditions. This way an appropriate treatment can be given at a younger age and a more permanent solution can be offered to eliminate the condition such as surgery. If the root of these types of diseases can be eliminated now, future generations can have a better healthy life quality and assurance.
have to make decisions that are needed at that moment. Not only is the patient the focus but
CEA is able to help managed care organizations, insurers, and policy makers make informed decisions. Supporters are optimistic that the increased involvement by the federal government in comparative effectiveness research will eventually lead to increased acceptance and the use of QALYS as a metric. Other Issues Concerning CEA With CEA, one of the main issues is determining what level of evidence is sufficient to approve or deny a treatment. Utilizing comparative analysis to make medical decisions is also difficult since there are biases in almost any test done. To account for differences between patients, it would require randomized, double-blind trials that are notoriously time consuming and expensive.
1. Greatly increased production of domestic oil and natural gas in the United States over the next two decades will affect the country’s future use of coal, nuclear power, and energy from the sun and wind because we will have to start using different forms of energy other than natural gas and oil. We are constantly using natural gas and oil because the demand is growing. As the demand grows, so does the use of these energy forms. Also, our environment is being degraded by this constant use of natural gas and oil. The process of getting these energy forms in our hands is polluting our waters because to extract it, you need water. However, polluted wastewater is created as a result. During the next 20 years, I believe that we will still have
