...of diagnosis evaluation, management, prevention and treatment. It is completely relevant to my specialty as I work in pediatric as a RN and encounter a lot of asthmatic cases that include the children with exercise induced asthma. The methods of guideline validation are external peer review and internal peer review. The major recommendations are presented in the form of summary statements that show the strength of the recommendations. The potential benefits are in terms of appropriate evaluation and management of the individuals affected with suspected exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (in accordance with my PICOT question). Although the use of albuterol (short acting) decreases the signs and symptoms of exercise induced asthma but according to guidelines daily use of long-acting β2-agonists (LABAs) and short-acting β2-agonists (SABAs) may actually increase the severity of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in long terms. The main reason is the development of tolerance due to increase frequency of use of albuterol (SABAs) and...

...clock-in system to track payroll, employees forgot to clock in or out constantly, so they needed to complete a missed clock report in order to get paid for unrecorded hours. Manual paychecks were used to adjust underpayments to employees. The manual paycheck system was simple; a manager would fill out a manual paycheck request, submit it for approval to Patricia Gonner, the HR manager, and White would process the check. Everything seemed to be in order because White would try and process the checks and get them to employees within 48 hours. In addition, each department manager was required to review the payroll expense reports for accuracy twice a month. The business unit controller at Samone, Joe Burke, found a stack of manual paycheck request forms on White’s desk one day when she was out of the office. Burke had a hunch that something fishy was going on so he selected a few manual paychecks to test and he found some patterns that brought up concerns of fraudulent behavior. Burke asked internal audit to conduct an investigation of all manual paychecks processed in White’s business unit. They discovered that in the last 5 years, 60 percent of the manual paychecks processed were fraudulent payroll request forms created by White with Gonner’s forged signature. Internal audit confirmed that White had created the manual paychecks, forged the payee signatures, and signed her or her...

Enzymes are organic catalysts (a chemical that speeds up a reaction without changing itself) that engages in the transformation of one organic molecule to another but with a lower activation energy.(Bio 05LA Lab Manual- Lab# 5, UCR, Winter ’11 ed., pp. 1). The molecule that the enzyme acts upon is called the substrate and the molecule produced by the reaction is called the product. (Bio 05LA Lab Manual- Lab# 5, UCR, Winter ’11 ed., pp. 1).

...Introduction The monarchy has been described as ‘the keystone in the arch of the British Constitution’. It is, indeed, an extremely significant part of our culture and history, as well as being central to our system of Government. It will therefore be necessary to begin any discussion of the constitutional issues involved in its abolition by outlining the current functions of the head of state in Britain. As ‘a state without a monarch is a republic’, it will then be necessary to consider the constitutional issues which would be implicit in giving effect to such a republic. These issues will include decisions as to the type of president we would have, how they would be selected, and the scope and extent of powers they would possess. This discussion is not intended to be one of the relative merits of a monarchy versus a republic: indeed, the decision to abolish the monarchy has already been made. Rather, it is an attempt to answer the question of how this central feature of our constitution could be replaced. In answering this question, I will look to a possible alternative, namely an elected president, and determine whether, and on what basis they could take over the functions of the monarch. Other constitutional issues regarding the selection of such a President must then be considered, along with other constitutional issues arising in this context. As a preliminary issue, it should be noted that in this hypothetical situation, it is Prince Charles, or rather King...

As the job of the child care worker required emotion displays which may form the dissonance between the child worker true emotion and the emotion child care worker enactment during the role (Lee and Brothering, 2011). The authors also explain that in order to decrease this dissonance, the child care worker may hide their true feeling in order to display the emotion required for the job( surface acting ) or the child worker may raise up the emotion which is essential for the display ( active deep acting).

Based on the descriptions in the text, where do you see yourself on the Kolb Inventory of Learning Styles? Based on the descriptions in the text of the Kolb Inventory of Learning Styles I see myself as an active experimenter. I make decisions easily and enjoy solving problems. I enjoy applying what I have learned to see if I understood the material correctly and feel that I learn quickly. I am always ready to move quickly from thinking to action and get frustrated by those who take too much time acting on what they have been taught. This coincides with the realistic category I fall into with the Holland Personality and Career types as I see myself as a concrete and practical doer. I prefer situations that involve action rather than verbal or interpersonal tasks and take a concrete approach to problem solving rather than relying on abstract theory. 2. After reading about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, determine which personality is most like you. On the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator I am an ESTJ: Extravert –I am outgoing, gregarious, and talkative and find myself too talkative at times or intimidating to those who are shy or introverted.
