It is necessary to have ongoing education for nurses so that to make sure the currency of knowledge so that to enable evidence-based customer care. The education cost is high to both the individual and the organization; therefore, it should be cost effective, appropriate, and relevant (Jacob, & Cherry, 2005). Research indicates that education for nurses is not always planned and developed systematically, and it relies on the interest and assessment area of the nurse educators. According to this paper, it will aim at identifying, analyzing, and assessing the educational needs at LewisGale (LG), which is a long term care facility. This paper will help determine the educational needs that should be addressed and challenges that long term facilities are currently facing.

...Literature Search This paper is about performing searches for peer-reviewed scholarly research articles using online data bases. Two articles are identified; one as a qualitative study and the other as a quantitative study. The first, "Nursing care of prisoners: staff views and experiences" (Powel, Harris, Condon, and Kemple, 2010) is a qualitative research study. This was recognized as a qualitative research study because it was based on feelings and views; not objective findings. Burns and Grove (2011) defines a qualitative research study as "a systematic, subjective approach used to describe life experiences and situations and give them meaning" (p. 20). The second article, "Assessing Behavior and Social Competence of Severely Emotionally Disturbed Youth Admitted to Psychiatric Residential Treatment" (Groot, 2009) is a quantitative study. According to Burns & Grove, (2011) "Quantitative research is a formal, objective, systematic process in which numerical data are used to obtain information about the world” (p. 20) and it is evident this article was quantitative because the findings employed numerical data. Three data bases were utilized; EBSCO Host, Proquest, and Gale Power Search. All three data bases were accessed through the University of Phoenix library website. When utilizing the EBSCO Host key words of "correctional nursing" were used. To narrow the search the following criteria were selected: Boolean, full text, scholarly (peer reviewed), and only dates...

Lin, Wei-Fen. Mack, D, Enright, R, Krahn Dean, &Thomas Baskin (2004), states that the level of anger and violence observed among alcohol and substance abusers are far higher than the levels found in the general population, and coping skills have been implemented in many substance abuse programs to teach patients how to become aware of their anger and also manage their emotions effectively. Many researchers have directed their focus on Forgiveness Therapy (FT) as an alternative option to any other treatment for patients to overcome their emotional bondage, which leads them to misuse alcohol and dependency to controlled substances. The hypothesis in this study is that Forgiveness Therapy decreases the frequency and severity of anger, anxiety, and depression, and patients in residential treatment for alcohol and drug dependency have demonstrated less anger and urge towards drug use after receiving this treatment. Critic of Population of the Study This study, which took place in a residential drug rehabilitation facility, targeted the effects of Forgiveness Therapy in decreasing the frequency and...

To the north it borders France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia along the Alps. To the south it consists of the entirety of the Italian Peninsula, Sicily, Sardinia–the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea–and many other smaller islands. The independent states of San Marino and the Vatican City are enclaves within Italy, whilst Campione d'Italia is an Italian exclave in Switzerland. The territory of Italy covers some 301,338 km2 (116,347 sq mi) and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. With 60.6 million inhabitants, it is the fifth most populous country in Europe, and the 23rd most populous in the world.Rome, the capital of Italy, was for centuries the political and religious centre of Western civilisation as the capital of the Roman Empire and site of the Holy See. After the decline of the Roman Empire, Italy endured numerous invasions by foreign peoples, from Germanic tribes]The market's lack of confidence in the Italian government is pushing the country to the edge.

...RESEARCH PROPOSAL Identification of Research Topic Over the past five years while working in a residential care home for people with dementia, the researcher has observed that incidents of violence and aggression both physical and verbal towards health care staff happened regularly. The incidents of aggression affected staff mentally and physically but the majority of incidents went unreported. The nursing staff, registered nurses and nursing assistants in this environment both acknowledged the seriousness of this on-going problem to them. However the reluctance to report the aggression is because they considered the aggression to be part of the job despite them acknowledging it as a problem. England is an ageing society and as the population ages, health care providers, government, communities and families are faced with the burden of caring for people with dementia (Cubit, 2010). According to Access Economics (2005), dementia is becoming increasingly predominant to the aging population worldwide. A survey of over 15000 care homes in England and Wales found that 78% of residents were cognitively impaired (Bowman et al, 2004). In addition the Alzheimer`s Society (2007) reported that there are around 750 000 people in United Kingdom with a dementing illness. A more recent survey by the Alzheimer`s Society (2009) reported that around one third of older people with dementia in UK live in residential home care settings, representing 200 000 individuals. According to Leonard...

...at stake in your considering the two options? What will you lose by taking one decision or the other? “An opportunity cost is the evaluation placed on the most highly valued of the rejected alternatives or opportunities or the loss of other alternatives when one alternative is chosen.” (P. 595) When we have to choose between hiring a group of young professionals over a few high rank executives (or viceversa), examining opportunity cost is a crucial strategy to knowledgeably decide what you are getting and what you are sacrificing instead. If we were to choose the group of young professionals, the opportunity cost for not choosing the high rank executive group would be losing out on the vast experience that these executives bring to the table. Moreover, this experience provides them with a lot of knowledge they can apply into their day-to-day decision-making and how they communicate and spread it throughout the entire organization. However, the above average problem analysis would be the highest opportunity cost incurred; particularly if the interested firm is participating in a complex market or experiencing a complex current situation. On the other side, if we were to choose the high rank executives over the group of young professionals, the opportunity cost presents a wide array of concepts as well. For starters, there’s the obvious, payroll costs are lower and therefore provide more flexibility if it is one of the firm’s main variables conforming its fixed costs...

...Writers Description This paper discusses therapeutic communication from the point of view of the writer's clinical experiences as a nurse. It discusses the concept of therapeutic communication and how important verbal and nonverbal communication is with patients. The paper presents a case study that the writer was involved in and discusses how therapeutic communication was successful or unsuccessful in this scenario. 1 From the Paper: "Even when the nurse has experience with therapeutic communication, there can still be the problem of a breakdown in that communication. The nurse can have empathy, respect for the person, and use active listening skills, but the problem could still come about. The reason it happens is that the nurse also needs to do critical thinking. That kind of thinking means that that she is always assessing the patient and the situation (McNabb, 2006). Another point is that sometimes it can be very difficult to see things from the perspective of the patient. Bournes and Mitchell (2002, p. 59) state, "health is the way people go on and live what is important to them, moment to moment and day to day". Health for me is very different than it is for a person such as Mrs. A. The only way I can understand her experience is by empathy and through active listening." 2 Sample of Sources Used: 1.

...system is the growth in the number of people aged over 85, which doubled from 690,000 in 1985 to 1.4m in 2010 and is set to reach 3.6m, or 5% of the population, by 2035( ONS 2012). This made it necessary for the government to launch the National Service Frame work (NSF) for older people(2001) which contained eight standards relating to older people’s services covering the full range of care older people need. The standards embody fundamental principles ensuring care is based on clinical need, not age, and that services treat older people as individuals, promoting their quality of life, independence, dignity and their right to make choices about their own care. This essay aims to explore how guidelines and policies are implemented in a residential care home in London to promote the well-being of the elderly and also further investigate the specific risk factors concerning the health and well-being of the elderly. Well-being has become an important focus for health and social policy in general, and in relation to older people in particular (Reed et al 2004). Well-being as a phenomenon involves more than happiness and health as it explores all aspects that give meaning to life and a feeling that life is fulfilling and worthwhile. It encompasses aspects of physical, emotional, social, financial and spiritual well-being (Reed et al 2004). Just like all human beings well-being affects all aspects of old age but mainly their...
