...Introduction P.R. is a 34 year-old male from Guatemala who went to a lake for cliff diving. He dove off of a cliff 20 feet from the water, hitting a rock, and fractured his neck at C6. This left P.R. as an incomplete quadriplegic, with partial gross movement of his upper arms. P.R. is able to move his shoulders to slightly lift his arms, but has no movements in his legs or the trunk. P.R. requires total assistance for all activities of daily living, and is incontinent of both bowel and bladder function. He speaks primarily Spanish and cannot communicate in English. He is verbally abusive and becomes combative with care givers. He does not have family support in America and is having difficulty adapting to American foods. P.R. has stage III ulcers on each of his buttocks, with various bruises on his lower forearms from trying to attack the faculty personnel. Both feet are starting to turn downward, indicating plantar flexion contractures. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the issues that are involved in nursing care, based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. This includes physiological, psychological, safety, and social concerns. An example of a complete nursing care plan will be provided for each category of needs identified in P.R’s case study. Patient Care Issues General Spinal cord injuries to an individual present with multiple areas of concerns to nursing care providers. Physiological issues are first addressed when the patient arrives in the emergency...

...proposed acquisition of Molton Brown Ltd, a UK based manufacturer of upmarket cosmetic products. Molton Brown is fully owned by KAO Group, a Japanese manufacturer of personal care products. In addition, the report analyses the current share price of L’Oréal based on current economic climate, their credit rating, corporate governance and other factors. The analysis of financial statements of L’Oreal and its peers indicate that the business is well managed. Over the past three years the company has achieved a regular year on year increase of turnover and at the same time it managed to maintain its operating profit margin, which was the highest when benchmarked to its key competitors such as Unilever or Estee Lauder. L’Oreal current ratio, used to assess the liquidity of the business, decreased versus prior year. This was mainly caused by the issue of commercial paper repayable within one year. This however should not be a concern to the management, as favourable terms with suppliers and customer means that the business can meet its current liabilities. The analysis of peers suggests that it is industry standard to have a negative working capital. The analysis of Molton Brown shows that it is a profitable business which achieved an impressive 18% increase in turnover vs prior year. A high current ratio may indicate that Molton Brown is not using its financial resources very effectively and the management is not reinvesting available cash resources. The company is able to operate...

...Adult baseline observations : Blood pressure The purpose of this assignment is to reflect on a chosen experience that I have identified as requiring more knowledge to complete this skill competently. I have chosen to do my learning contract on adult base line observation – blood pressure. The reason I have chosen this skill is because my first experience of taking a blood pressure was not a positive experience and to this day I still get nervous taking someone’s blood pressure. I can do the skill confidently now but feel I need to understand the theory around it to communicate the findings with the woman. When I was first learning to take someone’s blood pressure in intensives I was put down in front of our group by a tutor. I feel this would not have happened had I had more knowledge around the theory before the class which was of my own fault as I hadn’t read the modules thoroughly. I know the normal ranges of blood pressures for adults and how to get the systolic and diastolic numbers but if I was asked by a woman what these numbers mean, I would not be able to correctly and confidently communicate these with her. Existing knowledge - What do I already know about this topic/Skill. • I have had my own blood pressure taken by my doctor many times. • I have practiced taking blood pressures in akonga and intensives • I have taken women’s blood pressure on placement and during follow throughs appointments • I have passed my practise skill sheet for Adult...

EBIT margin is expected to remain 7% during five year forecasting horizon owing to the continuous improvement of EBIT margin in the convenience segment. Moreover, further efficiency gains in term of technology and productivity will support margin expansion. • Temporary drop in sales followed by gradual recovery: under both impact of recession and the loss of one client, we forecast a slight decrease in sales of -0.74% in 2011 based on half year result of 2011. Afterwards, there will be a gradual increase of 2% annually starting from 2012, which is in line with estimated economic recovery and sales contribution from two acquired companies named Keller SA and Bernatur in 2011. • Convenience is a key segment: the Group’s EBITDA target of 10% is completely achieved by soon capturing the increasing trend of convenience segment (“ready meal”, “food services” and “vegetarian food”), which is expected to grow by 4.4% until 2014 (Figure 7). Moreover, we anticipate a gain from...

...management Tutor Name: Maxine Shaverin Assignment Name: Professional Development for strategic managers DRAFT Introduction It is now commonly accepted that a firm and holistic commitment to the continued professional development of employees and managers alike is highly beneficial, not only for the continued success of a business or organization but for the well being and personal development of individuals. Megginson and Whitaker (2007:3) reflect on the personal opportunities afforded through CPD: ‘ It challenges us to make time for personal reflection and review. It reminds us that we have responsibility for developing ourselves…’ Remaining competitive in this ever changing global market is becoming increasingly difficult, putting pressure on managers to deliver consistently high standards of product/service delivery. Guskey (2001) asks that we recognise that professional development is a purposeful and intentional process, which is designed to evoke positive change within organisations. In order to maintain an effective and efficient workforce and to ensure that managers’ skills reflect this commitment to professional development then it is imperative that we, as managers, set personal and professional targets to ensure that our skills accurately reflect organisational goals and direction. Section 1: Demonstrate how you would assess personal and professional skills required to achieve strategic goals There exists a plethora of models to evaluate personal and professional...

...Axia College Material Appendix E Scenario: John is an 18-year-old freshman at New York University. John was the starting quarterback at his high school in a small town in Indiana. He enjoys playing sports and hanging out with friends. John has always been popular and done well in school and sports. Once he is comfortable in his surroundings he can be confident in what he is doing. Donnie is an 18-year-old freshman from Chicago attending Iowa State. Donnie spends most of his time playing his guitar and writing music. In high school he had a few close friends but his attention was mainly focused on his studies and his music. He has little trouble expressing himself and enjoys doing so on stage while playing in his band. Donnie is determined to earn a degree and find a career in playing, writing, or producing music. Response: In 200 to 300 words provide an opinion on who would be more likely to be persuaded by peer pressures such as drinking, drug use, skipping class, and other irresponsible behavior in a new city. Then, provide your reasoning on why you chose either John or Donnie as more likely to conform to his new social situation. Reference the factors that influence persuasion and conformity discussed in your text. I believe the person that would be the most likely to persuaded into drinking and other issues would be the “jock”. I say this because he is popular with everyone and for some people to maintain the level of popularity means doing...

...The Significance of Having a Multidisciplinary Team 3 Abstract The growing prevalence and hospital acquired pressure ulcers is an immediate concern. The major challenge is the A major challenge is the lack of knowledge and skills in wound identification, management, treatment and prevention. This, along with other factors, creates poor patient care and vast costs to the pertinent facilities. The solution is to have interprofessional collaboration. The utilization of current advanced practice nursing staff as a resource for floor nurses and other involved healthcare workers is a must. This would obtain certification in wound care and be responsible for the ongoing continued education for wound prevention, monitoring and maintenance. The staff will be educated and trained at quarterly intervals on wound identification, staging, prevention, maintenance and monitoring. Key words: wound care, evaluation, pressure ulcers, multidisciplinary, specialist, evidence The Significance of Having a Multidisciplinary Team 4 Problem Identified The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) declared in October of 2008 that it will no longer provide reimbursement for hospital acquired pressure ulcers (HAPUs) because it is a preventable occurrence (CMS, 2014). Even though the percentages of occurrences have declined since then, HAPUs continue to cause financial strain on institutions (estimated $9.1- $11.6 billion dollars loss annually)...

It also clarifies if it is the society as well, or the smoker alone who should be blamed for falling a victim to this social evil. It also tries to makes them aware of the hazards of smoking to discourage them from this abhorrent addictive habit, so that they remain safe from all the fatal diseases it brings along. To discover the involvement of society in making a smoker, a survey and multiple interviews were conducted. These research methods pointed out various factors which make things easier to understand. Survey conducted can be found in appendix. Results of data analyzed show that, whereas, some of the people claim smoking to be of stress reliever; quite a number of them adopted this habit from their social circle. Some think of it as a rebellious and cool activity whereas some are plain addicts. They also claimed, that work load or personal problems causes stress sometime leading to depression.

...INTRODUCTION Career development has become of more importance in recent years as organisations utilise the investment of human resource development to an advantage (McCarthy & Garavan, 1999). Career or professional development for the purposes of this report can be defined as an attempt to help the individual analyse their abilities and interests to guide their placement, progression, and development through various assessment activities (Gunnigle & Flood, 1990, p. 172). Literature suggests that the effectiveness of several management and professional development activities can be enhanced by paying attention to managerial self-awareness and variables related to self-awareness like self-efficacy (McCarthy & Garavan, 1999). Admundson (1995), argues that the two key variables that moderate career decisions are the individual’s self-awareness and self-efficacy which are essential because high levels of self-awareness and self-efficacy enables the individual to exert more control over long term effects and are in a better posistion to respond proactively to situations. Therefore, analysing managerial and professional development in regard to self-awareness creates a positive effect to both personal and professional enhancements. This report posits the importance of managerial self-awareness to the effectiveness of personal and professional development. It aims to develop understanding of self awareness for career development gauged from feedback tools, specifically the Personal...
