...explain about background of project, objectives, problem statement, scope of project. i. Project Title Car Jack with pneumatic system. ii. Abstract The students design a new model car jack with pneumatic system. Pneumatic system is a power transmission system that uses the force of flowing gases to transmit power. A problem statement about car jack is a lot of people need an ergonomics design to reduce musculoskeletal disorders. Musculoskeletal disorders can affect the body’s muscles, joints, tendond, ligament, and nerves. Such as the discs in back bones. The scope of the project is the students have to design a car jack with the ergonomics design based on the human body. There are three main parts of the product. The first parts is spiral balloon. The second part is one way control valve. The third part is hose lock. iii. Keyword Carjack, ergonomics, design, pneumatic system, human body. iv. Background of Project The project is an assignment of the Industrial Design and Ergonomics. Based on the ergomics and human function, the student must design a car jack with ergonomics to help human. In this time, car jack help people to change tire. But a lot of the car jack, use a lot of energy from operator the car jack. So, we design a new model car jack with pneumatic system. Pneumatic system is a power transmission system that uses the force of flowing gases to transmit power. So, we don’t use a lot of energy to lift the car. There are three main parts...

...Objective: Identify risk factors related to complications secondary to immobility such as pressure ulcers on the integumentary system. Immobility also leads to other adverse effects affecting cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and musculoskeletal system as well. The assessment is performed on admission data, then once a week. The risk assessment scale used was the Risk Assessment Pressure Sore (RAPS) scale, which includes the following variables; general physical condition, activity, mobility, moisture, food intake, fluid intake, sensory perception, friction and shear, and body temperature (Lindgren & Unosson, 2004). Results: 25 % of patients developed pressure ulcers. Non-blanchable erythema was the most common pressure ulcer noted among these patients. The majority of these patients were significantly older, and hospitalized for a longer period of time. In the analysis using variables included in the RAPS scale, immobility emerged as a major risk factor. Conclusion: Immobility is the main cause of pressure ulcer development among adult hospitalized patients. Part II: After reviewing patient’s charts and documentation in 4 west, it is concluded that: 37% charts with mobility documented. 63% charts with no mobility documented. Problem statement: After carefully reviewing patients charts, baseline data was gathered on 4West step down unit revealing that that only 37% of patients with orders for early ambulation were ambulated/mobilized as ordered.

The cardiovascular system is responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and cellular waste products throughout the body. The cardiovascular system is powered by the body’s hardest-working organ, which is the heart. The heart: The heart is a muscular organ about the size of a closed fist that functions as the body’s circulatory pump. It takes in deoxygenated blood through the veins and delivers it to the lungs for oxygenation before pumping it into the various arteries (which provide oxygen and nutrients to body tissues by transporting the blood throughout the body). The heart is located in the thoracic cavity medial to the lungs and posterior to the sternum. Arteries: The arteries are the blood vessels that deliver oxygen to the blood from the heart to the tissues of the body. Each artery is a muscular tube lined by smooth tissue and has three layers: •The intima, is the inner layer lined...

...Nursing Overtime and Adverse Effects Blima Marcus Hunter College Abstract This paper will explore the topic of nursing overtime and its effect on adverse events and errors in the workplace. The prevalence of mandatory and voluntary overtime is high. Nursing shortages combined with the aging baby boomer population means more work for health care workers, and nurses bear the brunt of this reality. There is some legislation in place to restrict mandatory overtime, but research suggests that overtime hours have not decreased since those policies were created. Furthermore, voluntary overtime is unregulated, with many nurses exceeding the recommended 40-hour workweek. Studies have shown that exceeding recommended hours results in workplace injuries to nurses, increased burnout and lower retention of nurses, and poorer outcomes for patients, including early readmission, medication errors, falls and nosocomial infections. More regulation may be necessary to reduce the hours worked by nurses. Advanced practice registered nurses are in a position to advocate for stricter policies in their facilities, and to implement strategies that would reduce overtime hours worked in their facilities, for example by increasing staffing. Nurse managers can ensure that their nurses doing overtime take the recommended breaks and do not exceed the recommended number of hours worked per week. Nursing Overtime and Adverse Effects Mandatory overtime is defined as employer-imposed work time in excess...

In the middle of the XVIII century the encyclopedist Denis Diderot, in his treatise: "About riding and what it means to maintain health and to find it again", wrote: "Among the exercise the first place belongs to ride. It can be used to treat many diseases, but may also prevent them befores they appear." Hippotherapy is a comprehensive and multi-method of rehabilitation, a form of physiotherapy (physical therapy), where tools for rehabilitation are the horse, the process of riding and exercising that a person does during riding. While riding all the major muscle groups of the body receive a work out. This occurs at a reflex level, because sitting on the horse, moving along with it, the...

...VACUUMING INTRODUCTION Vacuuming: nearly everyone is doing it! Unlike jumping a horse or throwing a curve-ball, vacuuming does not discriminate or limit itself to highly trained individuals or athletes. A vacuum cleaner, or commonly known as a vacuum, is typically an electric device that by means of suction collects dirt and small particles from a variety of surfaces. All it functionally requires is electricity, a vacuum cleaner appliance and a willing and able individual. This common invention is everywhere; household closets, hotels, general workplaces, restaurants and just about any other place that has carpeting or accumulates dust. 700 B.C. was the first noted appearance of woven forms of floor coverings and one could debate that primitive cleaning methods were developed thereafter (carpetandrugpedia.com). A cleaning method other than the traditional “carpet beater” was born in the mid-1800s. This time is known as the industrial revolution and was a critical in the invention of the vacuum cleaner. Factories were producing thousands of manufactured items and with it came an overwhelming amount of dust, soot and industrial pollution. This was also during the same time that infectious disease was being linked to germs. The need for hygiene and cleanliness was born and gave birth to the idea of the vacuum cleaner. By a patent issue date in 1860, Daniel Hess appears to have invented the first device to have the some of the basic principles of the modern vacuum. The...
