...ourselves faced with questions of ethics and legality when it comes to the care of patients. It is here that we find ourselves in the conundrum that is called nursing judgment. ”The basic level of problems concerns the dilemmas which arise for individual professional when they sense that there is a conflict between their private moral convictions and what they believe is required of them…” (Thompson, 1976). Nursing judgment is hard when so many factors are present, from the patient’s viewpoint, to the family/caregiver to the physicians ultimately in charge of the care. Many complicated scenarios can occur for the RN at any time and they must base their decisions on the ethical and legal guidelines that govern the nursing profession. Body In the world of nursing we are faced with ethical decisions on a regular basis but it is how we handle these situations that makes the difference. As a nurse we are bound by the guidelines of the code of ethics. The ANA (2014) states the “Code of Ethics for Nurses is a succinct statement of the ethical obligations and duties of every individual who enters the nursing profession. “It is the profession’s nonnegotiable ethical standard” and “an expression of nursing’s own understanding of its commitment to society”. In the case of the patient admitted with a hemorrhagic stroke whose family disagreed on the plan of care, the code of ethics outlines that the patient is our primary concern. When faced with conflict the nurse should help coordinate...

...I will be addressing the possibility of what kind of reaction a spouse or partner will have when the other person is promoted past the other. I will also be expressing the companies’ concerns of what can happen in the workplace between couples, some of these are sexual harassment issues that happen during and after the relationship. The companies’ rights to prevent its employees from coming together, and what the law says they can do. I am going to also present the side of these employees and how this rule can affect an employee’s moral and work performance when they have such strong feelings for another. The final topic is the ethical decision that surrounds the whole subject of inter-office dating. These ethics involve the questions that are presented to the two employees that are breaking the rule, should they tell their supervisor about their feelings for each other or should one of them quit their job, and if so, which one is going to quit? There are also the friends of the couple that know it is against company policy, but do they get their friends in trouble just because they know it is ethically right to always tell the truth. Is the policy against workplace dating becoming a thing of the past? While most employees would like to think so, most companies still have their adopted policies that ban or set limits on workplace dating in an effort of lowering their liability. Even though companies are trying to stop their employees before they have a chance to come...

With key employees leaving and networks being un-secure, John had no choice but to hire a new team, which gave him a full-time project manager and a new IT person to oversee the data conversion, improve infrastructure, and write reports.

...greater possibilities and freedom like the Western countries had. 2. Since the younger workers are resisting lifetime employment and are pushing for more freedom businesses probably won’t have as many consistent workers in the future like normally. Changes for the economy will be more westernized which may result in more competition and higher wages. 3. Traditional Japanese culture benefited from Panasonic from the 1950s-1960s by being provided with housing, discounts on amenities and guaranteed retirement bonuses, employees were truly cared for from the “cradle to the grave” as stated in the case in exchange for loyalty and hard work. I think that the traditional value did become more of a liability during the 1990s and early 2000s because everyone who was working was old and only getting older. When you get to a certain age you began to lack the ability to perform your job efficiently which wasn’t an issue with the younger workers who weren’t so focused on pay and the older ones who could demand a raise because of being with a company for so long. 4. With the new system recruits were offered three employment options which most didn’t take. Panasonic thought it would help position themselves better into the future by giving the company more flexibility to reduce staff and cut costs. a. If the change was made quickly it would abandon all of the loyal workers who depending on the...

...Kiyosaki wanted to grow up not having to live in the “rat race”. He wanted to be able to go where he wanted to go, do the things he wanted to do, to not have anything holding him down, and that is why he strived to become “rich”. This book is for of guide lines that Kiyosaki used or experienced and he wants others to learn from. The first chapter Rich Dad Poor Dad is where Kiyosaki introduces his two fathers. He says, “one was highly educated and intelligent;… [and the other] never finished the eighth grade.” Both his fathers were strong and influential, and both were successful in their careers; but one struggled financially all his life and the other became one of the richest men in Hawaii. Kiyosaki was glad to have two fathers to learn from learned from. He was able to see the point of view of both the poor and the rich. Even though the time he started learning from them when he was nine years-old the rich dad was not yet rich and the poor dad not yet poor. At the age of nine Kiyosaki started listening to his rich dad. Rich dad taught six main lessons. The second chapter was the first lesson, The Rich Don’t Work for Money. Kiyosaki asked both dads if they could teach him how to get rich. Poor dad, Kiyosaki’s dad, responded that you need to make money. When asked how, he responded to use your head. Mike, Kiyosaki’s best friend and first business partner, remembered an experiment from a science book, and they started casting nickels out of lead, making their own money....

... With the CRA policy in place and enforced there will be less room for mistakes. When you have encountered an individual that attracts you within the workplace guidelines must take precedence. There should be boundaries set to protect both employees due to possible break-ups. Putting a CRA into effect not only provides guidelines for the individuals in a relationship but also for the company and other employees. Some employees may see the CRA as a tool to prevent a hostile work environment. The reality is people in the workplace sometimes get involved. You can’t always pick and choose where you will find your true love. There could be relationships that blossom and develop into a totally happy romance. The workplace is a prime example. When you have a lot of other responsibilities, the workplace maybe your only other means or time to see your counterpart. Being in the same department, the ability to grab a quick lunch or even being able to discuss a similar project at work can ease the relationship and make your workplace romance easier. If you’re having a bad day at work, your partner will know why you’re having a bad and understand why. The Consensual Relationship Agreement (CRA) should be put in affect in the workplace upon hiring (Smith, 2000). The CRA not only protects the employees but also the employer. When two employees decide to date or become romantic, this situation can become risky, where job security is put...

Consistent with the cost based method: Transaction costs that are a direct result of the issue of the liability are debited (deducted from) its original FV.

...Getting America To The Top Through Healthcare Reform Chelsea Secoolish Microeconomics BU224 December 2, 2012 The main objective of a market economy is to reach efficiency. Market failure is defined as “the individual pursuit of self-interest which makes society worse off, or, an inefficient market”, (Krugman, Wells, 2009). Misallocated resources, unnecessary medical care, and for-profit insurance companies all play a part in America’s failing healthcare system. As one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world with plentiful resources to boot, 40 to 50 million uninsured citizens are unacceptable (Boseley, 2012). Our government needs to step in and reform the system, but exactly how to accomplish this task has become a national issue. In addition to the debate of adopting a national healthcare system (Obamacare,) reforming the Medical Liability System, or MLS, could very well be the answer to providing healthcare for each and every United States citizen. Optimizing promising practices, ensuring patient safety, and reducing healthcare costs are all ways to effectively bring our country back up to speed in what should be a rewarding and lucrative experience for both patients and their physicians. With the United States ranking 37th out of 191countries total in terms of health care, it is not surprising that there are millions of Americans uninsured, but even more alarming is the fact that there are 38 million people in the with inadequate health...

...Creating, Financing, and Marketing a Business BUS 100 Creating, Financing, and Marketing a Business A Business Partnership is usually hatched in a state of inspired optimism when two or more seemingly like-minded individuals come together with an idea to create a product or service and develop it into a business. As with anything, a business partnership has it’s pros and cons but there are also two types of partnerships, General and Limited. A General Partnership is subject to partnership agreement; all partners have equal rights in the management of the partnership. The Pros of General is that the partnership may designate particular partners with particular skills to make decisions in that area and reserve the more important decisions to the partnership as a whole. Cons to consider is that each partner has rights in management and may contractually bind the partnership. Each partner is responsible for the contracts that the other partners execute and the liabilities that they incur. The possibility of disagreement and deadlock exists. The other partnership is Limited. In a Limited Partnership at least one general partner is responsible for the management of the partnership. A limited partner may not participate in the management of the business or the limited partner runs the risk of becoming personally liable for the debts and obligations of the limited partnership. Pros to this partnership include that a general partner may vote on matters related to the...

...conclusion Robert Kiyosaki draws in his bestselling book Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Luckily, he also offers a way out. A way to get ahead. The fundamental trouble with working for money is that a job is a short term solution to a long term problem. People believe that if they get that raise, or get a new job they will finally have enough. However, if you do not know how money works, you can never have enough. Money alone will not solve anything, it will even get most people into more debt. So what is the secret to financial independence? Close the doors.. "Know what an asset is, acquire them and become rich." That's it! Easy, huh? The trouble is that people are not properly taught how to spend their money. Many do not know the difference between an asset, something which puts money in your pocket, and a liability, something which takes money out of your pocket. Kiyosaki's main point is that the only way to become financially independent is to accumulate income generating assets which can pay for your expenses. However, many people rather buy a new car or an iPad...
