...time. On rare occasions, we are handed graphs and charts that explain what they expect and shows us specifically what needs to be improved upon. Since our jobs are to care for the sick and hurt, this information is not tossed aside and is typically taken more seriously. One main focus for the nursing staff at my facility is safety scores. We have two medical-surgical floors, one including oncology and the other orthopedics, one intensive care unit, and one step-down intermediate care unit. We all share the same safety goals that are in place to insure our patients not only receive the best possible care but also remain injury free while that care is being provided. Each unit is given a score from 0 to 100 percent based on quarterly fall occurrences and prevention measures. Comparisons are made between each medical floor...

...characteristics of why patients fall in the hospital setting. The article being critiqued defines a fall as an unexpected drop from a sitting, standing, and lying position, which include an assisted fall (where someone helps guide them to the floor), slipping from a chair to the floor, and when a patient is found on the floor (Hitcho et al., 2008). This critique will discuss data collection, data management, analysis, and interpretation of the findings. The Washington University Institutional Review Board gave their approval for this study. Written consent was waived due to the fact that this study was part of a hospital-based project to improve quality. The study did not pose any risks to the patients as the patients were not put in any situation to induce a fall, and no precautions were taken away from patients that prevent falls. Several sources and a comprehensive fall data collection tool was used to collect data on the patients that fell during their hospitalization which included: the database of adverse events, the electronic medical record, the paper chart, and patient/ family interviews, where no objections to being interviewed were noted (Hitcho et al., 2008). The variables that were identified in the study were the patient’s information, details of the fall, contributing factors, injuries sustained, and the actions that were taken as a result of the fall. The patient information included the patient demographics, cognitive status, admitting diagnosis, fall history, medications...

... In the journal of Geriatrics &Gerontology International, there is an interesting article by Vassallo et al. that discusses the fall risk factors in older patients with cognitive impairment. The issue addressed is almost identical title, which is “Fall Risk Factors in Elderly Patients with Cognitive Impairment on Rehabilitation Wards.” It is a clear and concise title, which states the population (the elderly) and major variables. (the mentally cognitive and the cognitively impaired). The researchers who conducted the study are qualified doctors who are familiar with both the risk factors affecting the elderly in a rehabilitation facility and/ or environment. The abstract discusses various components. First, the purpose of the study is to discover why cognitively impaired patients are more likely to have reoccurring falls, and how they differ from the cognitively intact. Second, the use of sample variable of all males over 80 with past history of falls, recurrent falls, medical records, and medication were taken into consideration during this study. Lastly, the study offers a methodology, yields results and discusses the...

...interesting no matter what genre and last October 9’s movie didn’t disappoint. We watched an indie film by Joey De Guzman titled Tumbang Preso. The title seemed really familiar to me so because I was curious, I looked it up. Tumbang Preso was actually a child’s play, no wonder why it was so familiar. I used to play it at my grandma’s place back in Leyte when I was younger too. I actually thought it meant the fall of a prison cell since tumbang means fall and preso was jail. Lo and behold, it meant both. I was impressed with what Mr. De Guzman had going on. So tumbang preso has always been played in one way for kids. A player called an IT, is assigned to guard a can. The rest of the players with their “pamatos” or what they use to hit the can, line up behind a line drawn on the ground. Once settled, the game starts and each kid gets a chance to make the can fall with his or her pamatos. Once the can falls, the owner must retrieve the pamato that made the can fall immediately before he or she is caught. If he is caught, he becomes IT. If the can is hit and falls outside the circle but still stands, the IT has the right to tag the one responsible for the pamato once he or she leaves behind the line. The can may be kicked or knocked down under when it is outside the circle. If the player is not able to retrieve his pamato, the others can save him by hitting the can. The movie was pretty much like the game. Those players behind the line are like the victims of human trafficking...

...Advance Professional Roles and Values Project Falls Keri Cochran October 20, 2014 Western Governor’s University The problem and explanation: The hospital I am employed at is currently having an issues with patient falls. The hospital is a “no restraint facility” and strongly discourages the use of any form of restraint including leather, soft, posey vests, or chemical. Currently the line of defense is using staff sitters, moving the patient to a visible room when available and or family members are encouraged to come and stay with their loved ones who are at high risk of falls. This does not always rectify the issues secondary to staffing issues and family participation. The facility has had two critical falls this year, one ending in a patient breaking a hip and the other a death secondary to hemorrhagic bleed to the brain. The facility has had numerous other falls which lead to added procedures, exposure to radiation (radiological exams) and increased lengths of stay, multiple bruises, fractures, pulled out IV which need to be preplaced, and numerous bleeds and skin tears. The unit I work on is a Medical Surgical Telemetry (4 Tower) unit which consists mainly of pre and post open heart patient and pre and post angiogram patients who may or may not have had interventions which include stents, plasty, TCPA, Pacemaker / AICD placement, and EP studies with ablations. The patient population is mainly sixty years of age and above, with a high incidence of diabetes...

...or not it matters that Rally is associated with pizza.Tradename protection extends to zone of reputation, zone of expansion, and zone of marketing in addition to being the first in the area. Because Rally is associated with Pizza andwith Motors, it is not as much of a conflict as it would have been if Gabby had a used car dealership and decided to call it Rally¶s Used Cars. According to Robert Wayne Olson Jr¶sexample, ³The Rose Cafe (a restaurant) does not conflict with The Rose Law Firm (legalservices), nor does either conflict with Rose Story Farm (a nursery). However, if Violet Rosewants to open the Violet Rose Bistro, that name could be sufficiently confusing to bar its use inthe same area as The Rose Café.´ In my opinion it is not distinct and therefore can beconsidered as confusing. In order to be protected under tradename laws, the business owner must not have a confusingly similar name to a company that was registered in the same 4 Running head: RALLY ROUND THE TRADE NAME geographic area first.

Nevertheless, IPR in the globalized world now is at risk, if today we can’t event protect our own works, the future will follow that our works will definitely will be followed and there will be no innovation made. How can we develop when there’s no innovation at all? How can a developing country become one step ahead than others when he has no protection on his own jobs that is needed in order to be the one with the works that the other people can only dream of? The answer will be depending on each individual and state’s policy in handling the IPR issues. 4). It’s a conditional matter of boosting economic and trade growth. One can’t say that IPR will not benefit the given country or will benefit, but let’s us analyze from the basic thing which is the protection itself. If a work from the...

...information and keeping it safe and protected is of the utmost importance. Many larger organization employ an I.T. department that manages and protects their information on a daily basis. In the ever progressing information age, gaining or losing information could mean making or breaking pretty much any organization under the sun. For smaller organization, such as Three Feathers Manufacturing, the I.T. department falls into the job description of the upper management. Because of its small size, Three Feather’s managers must organize, share, gain, and protect their information without having a 24/7 I.T. guy who has been trained to do so. This can be dangerous for the organization because they must rely on software that at its best would fall prey to some of the world hackers in a matter of minutes. Luckily though, many of the products developed at Three Feathers are basically common knowledge to all of its competitors. When there is a development that needs to be kept from prying eyes, reverting back to simple paper and file cabinets is the method of protection. For the employee information and customer information, a basic database is set up to collect and sort any input. Employees information is compiled in alphabetical order and consists of phone numbers, addresses, start dates, rates of pay, position carried by the employee, and duration of employment. This information is shared only with government organizations such as the IRS and local judicial organizations to keep...

...Rally Round the Trade Name 1) Explain whether or not the fact that Gabby’s surname is Rally gives her the right to use it any way she wishes. I believe that Gabby has the right to use her surname “Rally” in her pizza business because it’s a different business and is not harming the Rally motor business As long as it’s a different type of business, then Gabby can use the last name “Rally.” Now, if Gabby wants to open up an auto business, she cannot use Rally as the name of the business because it will be confliction with the already existing business. A name or a trademark is what differentiates a business from any other business. Each business name must be unique according to its form or type of business. Just like two corporations cannot have the same name within a state, two auto businesses in the same town cannot have the same name. Gabby cannot use her last name in any way she wishes to. If there already exists a business named “Gabby’s Auto’s” she cannot open another auto shop with that same name. If she were to be allowed to do so, confusion will be created amongst consumers. It would be unclear to which “Gabby’s Autos” one is referring to so she would have to change the name of her business to something else, something more distinguishing that would avoid any kind of confusion. Just because her last name is Rally, it doesn’t give her the right to use it as she pleases. If this were the case, millions of businesses would have the same name worldwide and there would...

...has become more and more popular, snowboarding injuries have become more and more frequent and more dangerous. Snowboarding is a risky sport, and the risks are not taken seriously enough by new snowboarders. Helmets should always be worn while snowboarding, even if they don’t look “cool.” Head injuries happen all too often to people who think that helmets are not important enough to wear. Snowboarding has become wildly popular in the teen world, and teenagers think that they don’t need protection while snowboarding. Teenagers have no sense of safety for themselves and are ignoring the fact that they might get hurt. Teens should view wearing safety gear as an acceptable idea. Snowboarding doesn’t need daredevils who think that they are invincible. People take the risks of snowboarding too lightly. Snowboarding is a dangerous sport, and not enough people view it as such. Precautions should be taken at all times while snowboarding. New snowboarders should be prepped in what to do when they fall instead of trying to catch themselves, which only increases the chance of breaking an arm. New people trying to brave the world of snowboarding should at least take one lesson before starting, just to know how to snowboard and keep themselves safe. There should be some way to enforce the rule of wearing protective gear while snowboarding. It should be made clear that snowboarding is too risky and that not wearing protective gear is not the smartest idea....

...month I s tasked to inspect all the companies safety equipment and personal protective equipment. My inspection was broke down into three categories, availability, serviceability and whether it was within calibration standards. During the availability portion I was to find out how easy it was to get if needed, and if there was enough available according to how many personnel used it. Having enough PPE was the biggest issue that I found. Safety glasses, hard hats and leather gloves were items that I found not every person had. We did have adequate amounts of disposable earplugs. I had my supply order the shortages and ordered earmuffs that attach to the hard hats, so everybody had them. We have several generators at our company; hearing protection is a high priority. Serviceability was next on my agenda. There is a lot of equipment in my company that is getting old and out dated. This equipment is very expensive, so I needed to justify major purchases. I did not find much that was not functional. I was able to get little tools purchased, and put an order in for more updated equipment. We are very reactive, not proactive. When things break they are purchased, if they’re not broke we won’t fix them. Lastly I had to check to see if the equipment has been properly tested within the allotted time frame. This area had been neglected, and I found numerous deficiencies. I found test equipment that was out of date with calibrations and PPE that was out of its window for inspection...
