BY: ESTHER ADENIKE BOLARINWA TUTOR: PAULA YATES Case study It’s your first week as a community nurse attached to a busy group practice. You receive a call from a care manager at social services, requesting an emergency home visit for a patient receiving end of life care. The patient requires emergency pain relief in the form of morphine patches. You have never met the patient. The husband meets you and offers you a cup of tea. He thanks you for arriving so promptly. You accept the offer of a cup of tea, ask his wife’s name and request the care plan, which holds all the information relating to medication. Whilst reading the notes, the husband chats to you about your day and the traffic locally. The kitchen door opens and a woman comes into the room, shouting at you: “What the hell are you playing at? My sister is upstairs dying and you’re down here, having a chat and drinking tea. No wonder the NHS is in a mess if you’re an example of the staff! Before you can respond, she reaches for your arm and begins to pull you towards the stairs. The husband tries to calm her but...

...The aim of this assignment is to explore challenging behaviour in the person with dementia. As it is outside the scope of this assignment to explore all the potential reasons for challenging behaviour, the focus of this assignment will be on challenging behaviour in the context of the communication of pain, using a case study to illustrate this. This assignment will describe challenging behaviours, the behaviours associated with pain, and the management strategies employed by nursing staff, using a person-centred approach to care. Finally, ways of improving the care provided will be explored and recommendations made. The rationale for choosing to discuss this issue is that I currently work as a staff nurse on an organic assessment ward, and am frequently involved in caring for people with dementia who present with challenging behaviours that are difficult to manage in the community setting. There are currently 750,000 people with dementia in the UK. As the UK’s population grows, there will be substantial increases, and it is estimated that there will be 940,000 people with dementia by 2021, rising to over 1.7 million by 2051. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia (Alzheimer’s Society, 2010). Gogia and Rastogi (2009) describe Alzheimer’s disease as a progressive illness, where there is a decline in almost all functions, including memory, movement, language and communication skills, behaviour, judgement and abstract reasoning, and the ability to carry out...

...MEMORANDUM To: Dilara Dyer From: Katie Rosser Date: 12/9/15 RE: FINAL EXAM Case Study #1: I choose to work on case study #1 over case study #2 because first I felt it would be more challenging than the other. As I read case study #2 I had this feeling like this was my life and I was living in Armando’s situation. My parents, recently divorced, co-own multiple franchises. I have been managing their franchises for over 7 years now but I am also ready to move on and try new things in my life. After I graduate college I plan on moving somewhere far out of Arizona. Just like Armando did. If that does happen and everything still stays the same and a couple years roll by I can foresee that my mother will want to retiree eventually. She is a business woman at heart however and will want to keep an eye on her empire so she will eventually offer the franchise to me but probably keep 10% or 15% of the company so she can just keep on eye on everything. My point is case study #2 is too easy. Instead of Mexicans I work specifically with Navajos and have been taught years ago a fraction of the Navajo language. So I have decided to push the boundaries of my management knowledge. In case study #1 I will try to open my mind in Penny’s situation to diversity, teamwork and the communication challenges I believe I will have to face in my near future. Question #1 (Discuss the case study in terms of diversity issues): This is a very great question because in today's economy the world is...

...through the case study of Jane, answer the following questions in a 1-2 page paper: 1. Examine the situation presented in the case study by using the four goals of psychology. psychologists have four basic goals: to describe, explain, predict, and change behavior and mental processes Description Description tells “what” occurred. In some studies, psychologists attempt to describe , or name and classify, particular behaviors by making careful scientific observations. Description is usually the first step in understanding behavior. For exam- ple, if someone says, “Boys are more aggressive than girls,” what does that mean? The speaker’s definition of aggression may differ from yours. Science requires specificity. 2. Choose three of the modern perspectives of psychology and address how each would study the behaviors found in the case study. Submit your completed assignment to the drop box below.

...behaviors and skills managers need to exhibit if an organization is to be successful” (Hughes, Ginnett, & Curphy, p. 252). In many organizations, competency models can differ between the different hierarchies of managers. As a person’s leadership role evolves so do the behaviors and skills he or she must possess to be an effective leader. This statement holds firm as with the case of Andra Rush. Throughout the case study, there are a number of competencies Rush displays. The first is personal drive which is the ability to demonstrate urgency in meeting objectives and achieving results; and the ability to pursue aggressive goals and achieve them (p. 253). When Rush worked as a nurse and heard complaints of unfair treatment, she took a proactive approach and enrolled in an MBA program to change and improve conditions. Not only did she have the drive to pursue an MBA, Rush accomplished this while working as nursing school graduate. Rush’s efforts can further more be seen through the formation of her trucking company. The success of Rush’s trucking company can be attributed to driving change which is challenging the status quo and looking for ways to improve team or organizational performance; and champions new initiatives and stimulates others to make changes (p.253). Since Rush is a woman and a minority, she challenged the status quo by entering a predominately white and male dominated trucking industry. Furthermore, more than half of the employees at Rush’s trucking company...

A Case Study: Jane Describe (tell what occurred): When Jane was just a young girl her father beaten her for being naughty. Later on in life Jane married, in the first 3 years of her marriage her husband was abusing her. Explain (tells why it occurred): Jane didn’t know why she was being beaten when she was younger because her father has failed to explain to her the reason of her being beaten. Jane’s husband first 3 years of abusing Jane was because he felt that she was challenging him. Predict (what condition is the behavior/event likely to occur): The behavior is likely to occur when Jane’s father claims she is being naughty. Jane’s husband only beats her when Jane is challenging him. Change (what change in condition is necessary to prevent unwanted occurrence, or the outcome): Jane learned she has associated her love with fear and no matter how hard she tries she feels she fails. Adulthood she realized her father was wrong so she used guilt and fear to get what she wanted from her father. Jane’s husband feels guilty and begs for forgiveness then takes Jane shopping.

Overall greeting card sales had been contracting in the U.S. for some years and negative growth was expected in the next five years to 2015 (Exhibit 4). Hallmark was the largest card company in the U.S. that was privately owned by the Hall family with $4 billion of revenues. The organization had expanded its operations in more than hundred nations and thus it was well-diversified geographically. Overall, the U.S. card industry was contracting with 9% reduction in last six years and the trend was expected to continue with a minimum of 4% decline over next 4 years and 16% in a worst case scenario. Major cause and diver of this decline in demand was changing social interaction norms and advent of alternative forms of communications through social networking and digital imaging. Increase in use of these alternatives by the populace to express their love and keep in touch with their close ones was reducing the need to send paper based...

...Abstract There are four basic model markets, perfect competition, monopoly monopolistic competition, and oligopoly. This paper analyzes the monopolistic competition model through a case study which is the toothpaste market. This industry represents a clear example of monopolistic competition, and its analysis is used to explain the key characteristics of this market as well as the two main firms that compete in this market in the United Stated. These firms are Procter and Gamble and Colgate Palmolive which represent the majority of the market share in the United States. Finally, it is found that innovation is a key factor in monopolistic competition because it represents the ability to differentiate products and attract more consumers. The main conclusion drawn from this paper is that the monopolistic competition is the most common model in the United States and the technology and innovation advances have allowed organizations to reach these types of markets and maximize profits. Venezuela vs. United States Economy Have you ever though why some countries are richer than others? Or what there is inequality among countries? All those answers are related to the economy of a country and their macroeconomic indicators. Today, macroeconomic is a crucial concept that we can see every day in the news; employment, inflation, and growth are some of those economy indicators. (1) But it is not so easy to say why a country is richer than other; or why the economy of a country...

...Title: Personal and intimate care means crossing normal boundaries. What are the implications of this for users and workers in health and social care? Within health and social care crossing normal boundaries may sometimes be required. Firstly, this essay will explore some common dilemmas and difficulties within care settings, and then consider how this can lead to poor-quality and unsafe practice. “Often poor practice occurs in care situations that are challenging to the care worker, for example giving intimate care or dealing with challenging behaviour,” (unit 17, pp. 11-54). Secondly, using case studies I will define and compare the implications for both workers and service users, thus allowing for the evaluation of ways in which intimate care can be provided to promote wellbeing, making people feel comfortable and safe. Finally the importance of guidelines, protocols and accountability are discussed, therefore creating good practice and safeguarding both the worker and service user. Providing personal and intimate care often involves direct physical touch and nakedness and sometimes gives rise to emotional closeness. These are also characteristics of sexual relationships, so it is not surprising that the boundaries between care and sex become blurred (Twigg, 2006). Personal Care can be merely assisting to brush someone’s teeth or assisting with feeding; whereas intimate care is events that would usually be done in private without anyone else present. Social boundaries...

...Urban Outfitters Continuing Case Study: Creating a Business Steve Jobs Introduction to Business Professor Mariatta Lewis July 31, 2011 Urban Outfitters Continuing Case Study: Creating a Business Starting a business can be very challenging. There’s always a positive and negative side to it and it’s not always easy. Entrepreneurs and business owners will always over come different challenges when setting up a business. Finances, location, and finding a good staff is all linked together but can be challenging when opening up a business. Finances have a big part to opening up a business. You will have to find the right lender and see who has the best interest rates for business loans. For example, if I was to start up my own restaurant I will need money to buy or rent a facility, buy restaurant equipment, or buying the food. First I will have to sit down and set up a business plan and see what is within my budget. If the bank qualifies you for a $100,000 loan you know that is your budget. Figure out what you need to get for the business, find the location, and hiring a staff. A good way to budget is find stores that sell cheap items and buy things in bulk. Budgeting money can be very challenging because when you have that large lump sum it’s easy to just buy whatever you see. So as a new business owner plan out what you need for the business and budget the money you got. Finding a location can be very challenging. Explore your options to see if it...
