...Teaching Plan for Medication compiled by Sue Henderson The consumer needs to know: • name of the drug (generic and brand) • what the drugs is prescribed for (Indications); • dosage prescribed; • how many times a day and when the drug should be taken; • how to take the drug in relation to meals; • specific adverse effects that are expected with this drug; • special precautions or activities that are related to the use of this drug, including follow up visits or tests; • signs and symptoms to report to his or her prescriber; • dangers of abrupt cessation of the drug; • special storage information; and • information on safe disposal of expired medication. Good practice also requires reminding the consumer to: • avoid all other medications including OTC (over the counter) and complementary drugs without checking with their prescriber first; • inform the prescriber of all current medications, medical conditions and allergies; • keep the drug away from children; • report to any other health care professionals that he or she is taking the drug; • inform the prescriber if breastfeeding or pregnant or chance of becoming pregnant while taking the medicine; • ask the pharmacist if a generic drug is available; • keep a record of medicines including reason for taking them; • ask the pharmacist for a dosette box or for medication to be packed into a Webster® pack if taking several medications; and • read the Consumer Medicine Information (CMI) brochures/leaflets...

...Using material from item A and elsewhere, assess the view that crime and deviance are the product of labelling theory (21 marks) Some sociologists believe that crime and deviance is a result labelling which is when a label is attached to a person or group of people due to their appearance, sex, ethnicity or other factors. It is also leads individuals to believe that labelling theory can create a self-fulfilling prophecy, which is when the person begins to act according to the label and hence it comes true simply through being made. If a certain group of people have committed crime in the past they are more likely to be thought as to reoffend. Sociologists such as Cicourel investigated ‘typifications’ which are stereotypes of young offenders meaning the police focus their attentions on these ‘types’ of people. Through typifications the police concentrate on working class areas closely attaching a negative label to them. Once a label has been attached through self-fulfilling prophecy the offenders are more likely to feel victimised so may be obliged to offend again or on the other hand they may try to break the stereotype. Similarly people tend to victimised in society due to their race. Piliavin and Briar argue that police arrest youth based on physical characteristics alone. Evidence of this happening could be reflected by the trend in the 70% rise in the number of blacks and Asians being stopped and searched. Stopping and searching people can be used as a precaution...

...Victoria Brooks English 101, Section 02 June 17th, 2014 “Personal Literacy Autobiography” (Edited for a better grade, fixing all grammar you edited) I know the definition of a literate person is being able to read and write. If that’s what we are really writing about here, that would be rather boring. You would be reading autobiography after autobiography about how students learned to read and write in Kindergarten or pre-school. Clearly that is not what you are looking for. I have learned over years of writing classes, literacy is so much more than being able to read and write. Being literate also involves being able to write down every thought and feeling, in hopes to perhaps give the reader chills. They feel so into it like it is their own thought or their own feeling. Also, being a strong literate person, to me, is going into a horrible situation and coming out 10 times stronger and more motivated. Personally, I do not really have a list of individuals that made a big enough significance in my life to change it. Well, no one except my daughter. I believe my Daughter, Sophia, made me a more literate person. Having her was a huge, meaningful event that shaped me into who I am today. It all started summer of 2012. I had just graduated high school that June. I knew I had to go to college, but wasn’t really that into it. I just knew that it had to happen because my mom and grandma had always said I had to go to college to get anywhere in life. The summer I graduated...

...An Analysis of Sources of Risk in the Consumer Electronics Industry ManMohan S. Sodhi Cass Business School Seongha Lee Samsung Forthcoming, JORS (2007) ABSTRACT: The consumer electronics industry is a $ 240 billion global industry with a small number of highly competitive global players. We describe many of the risks associated with any global supply chain in this industry. As illustration, we also list steps that Samsung Electronics and its subsidiary, Samsung Electronics UK, have taken to mitigate these risks. Our description of the risks and illustration of mitigation efforts provides the backdrop to identify areas of future research. INTRODUCTION In supply chain management, there is much discussion on risks related to such aspects of supply chains as short product lifecycles, keen competition combined with cooperation, and globalization. The consumer electronics industry is the very embodiment of these aspects of supply chain management and related risks. While some of the supply- and demand-related risks are similar to such industries as the toy industry (Johnson 2001), the consumer electronics industry faces additional risks due to its vertically integrated supply chains. This article seeks to provide a starting point for understanding supply chain risk in this industry through examples from this industry as well as related ones like computers and mobile phones. To illustrate the mitigation of these risks, we list steps that Samsung Electronics and its subsidiary...
