Introduction Fernhill nursing home is one of the eighteen nursing homes that are owned and run by Colten Care Limited. It specializes in caring for people with dementia. The elderly form the better part of this group of people although there are some younger persons who suffer the same. Currently I am working as a full time staff nurse, working night shifts providing general nursing care and doubling up as the team leader for the team of caregivers. This paper will give an overview of the nursing home and my position as a staff nurse working in the home. An overview of the home’s service delivery At Colten Care our work is to care for people and therefore we put an emphasis on “Quality of Life”, in all our nursing homes. We understand that we are dealing with different individuals and they have diverse needs. The staffs here are trained to give high quality and personalized care to every resident. Dignity, independence and privacy of individuals is upheld and maintained within a social setting that provides a warm atmosphere and the needed care. Fernhill specializes in caring for people with dementia and these people are particularly sensitive to how they are treated and their needs keep on changing; here at Fernhill we do our best to give the residents the best. Our conduct is guided by the NMC professional code of conduct, the Care Standards Act 2000 and the Care Home Regulations 2001 and Colten Care’s policies. Our commitment is caring for people and we do this by a combination of factors meeting the requirements of the elderly (Elderly Care 1997) which include giving personalized care and services to all, providing a variety of pass time activities which include games, trips and entertainment among others; these are well organized by our activities organizers, first class meals prepared by qualified experienced chefs are provided and a clean hygienic environment in our quality built home. My position and role at the home As a team leader, I have to guide my team in our day to day activities by active participation and delegation of duties. Staff management for my team is my responsibility; and of course I am a nurse so my basic role is providing general nursing care to the residents and any other role that might be allocated in compliance with my profession. I am also expected to carry out my duties professionally as guided by the NMC professional code of conduct, the Care Standards Act 2000 and the Care Home Regulations 2001 and Colten care’s policies.

Introduction The leading chronic illness among children in the US under the age of 18 is asthma, coming to 5 million (Shaw, 2005). The leading cause of school absenteeism and emergency room admission is asthma. Other problems that affect children are the underdiagnosis, poor acceptance of diagnosis and poor compliance (Shaw, 2005). Adolescent asthmatics are also considered a high risk population, having a higher severity than the age group 5-12. Asthma appears to be concentrated in the urban areas rather than the rural ones (Magzamen, 2008, p. 655). However the rural areas have more of resource deficits (Horner, 2008, p. 506). Health care interventions have been tried and studied in various locations and circumstances. Most of them had been partially successful but had met problems on the way which could be remedied and modified for future use. Background The prevalence of asthma is high in the Head Start population at 13.9 to 39% and the adolescent age group. The Head Start addresses emotional, social, psychological and health needs of young children being prepared for school entry. They had a program called the Early Childhood Asthma Project (Nelson, 2006). Children who had not been diagnosed yet for asthma or had uncontrolled asthma were to be identified. Care-givers were to bring their children to be checked. Children who were going to have the treatment were to be followed up. The care-givers were to be given asthma management education. The families were to be given social support. Ample communication was to be provided to the family, Head Start personnel and the Child’s physician in relation to the asthma (Nelson, 2006). A qualitative evaluation program was conducted (Nelson, 2006). The participants were the project director, project coordinator, school liaison/field supervisor, 2 health education counselors, the data collection coordinator, and a project co-principal investigator. The evaluation included that of the project reports, staff logs, quarterly reports and taped interviews. The problems encountered were set up under 4 themes: care-giver participation, Head Start role, ECAP program factors, family beliefs and concerns (Nelson, 2006). Awareness needed to be instilled in the care-givers and the head start staff. Misconceptions were to be removed. Families were not yet fully convinced about the role of the ECAP. The administrators were fully equipped for the program but the other staff were not really into the program though they were the ones who had direct contact with the care-givers. The capacity or number of staff was insufficient to make the program a runaway success. The skills were to be upgraded A classroom based high school asthma education program was arranged among 10 th grade students of two schools (Shaw, 2005). The objective was to improve the quality of life, self-efficacy and self-management behaviors. There was a control group with delayed intervention. The aim was to improve knowledge, improve self management techniques, self-efficacy, social support or coping skills. A program was developed and integrated into the routine curriculum in two schools. It was
Topic The use of IT opportunities as the means of promoting patient education about palliative care in nursing and the enhancement of the communication process between nurses, patients, and the community is the topic of the paper. Namely, the opportunities provided by social networks will be explored. Being powerful tools for enhancing cooperation among the community members, it can be used as the means of promoting a dialogue between patients and the community, therefore, increasing the efficacy of care for the people affected by Alzheimer’s disease (Tse et al. 2016). Describe How the ANMAC Standards Would Impact the Curriculum Development/Renewal Process The ANMAC standards are likely to define the choice of the curriculum elements to a considerable degree (Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council 2012). Shaping the curriculum, they will contribute to a better presentation of the information. Thus, learners are expected to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills successfully. Standard 1. Governance Governance will be executed by healthcare providers so that the education program could embrace the needs of all stakeholders in question and cater to the needs of diverse students. As a result, the foundation for a multicultural conversation and knowledge sharing can be created (Katende & Donnelly 2016). Standard 2. Curriculum Conceptual Framework The program will have to follow the standards for Masters and Bachelors in Nursing. Particularly, the opportunities for not only active knowledge acquisition but also extensive nursing practice should be created. Standard 3. Program Development and Structure The program will be designed based on a scrupulous assessment of the essential stakeholders’ needs. Surveys and interviews will be used to determine the current requirements and quality expectations among healthcare experts, students, employers, etc. Standard 4. Program Content The framework will align with the current state standards for the master and Bachelor programs in Nursing. Particularly, the information that will help promote active knowledge acquisition, training of the essential skills, and a deep understanding of the subject matter will be incorporated into the curriculum. Standard 5. Student Assessment The degree to which the learners will have mastered the material will be evaluated with the help of formative, interim, and summative tests. Thus, the learners’ command of the material, as well as their ability to identify the needs of the patients and address these needs correspondingly will be identified (Kaplan & Owings 2015). Standard 6. Students The program will be aimed at maintaining the essential concepts of educational integrity by offering students equal opportunities and maintaining complete transparency as the foundation for carrying out the crucial process

In the teachings of Jesus to the masses that often thronged around him, he used parables to illustrate some important spiritual messages. The parables were mainly based on common-to-life encounters. In Luke 15, Jesus taught three interrelated parables, the most outstanding is the Parable of the Prodigal Son. The parables in this instance were generated after the Pharisees and the lawyers criticized Jesus for the supposed welcoming of sinners and dining with them. A common element of truth cuts across the three parables. The parable of the lost sheep, the parable of the lost coin, and the parable of the lost son both teach that God is interested in the lost and that the whole host of heaven rejoices when a sinner forsakes his way and turn back to God. In the third parable, instead of replicating this truth verbatim, He permits the actions of the characters to drive the point home. Furthermore, since these parables were a rebuke to the Pharisees who were offended at the efforts of Jesus to save the lost, the central truth applies to us today as God requires us to be concerned about the lost souls and be pleased about their repentance. Three different groups of people are brought to focus in Luke 15:1-2: Jesus, the leaders of the Jews, and the sinners. Jesus was preparing the sinners for His Kingdom, while the Jewish leaders were condemning His moves. Jesus, therefore, gives the parables to explain His deeds and to rebuke the bigotry of the religious leaders. The critic in the parable of the lost son is the elder son. He was not caring that his younger brother had gotten lost. Even though the father was anxiously looking forward to the return of his lost son, the older brother was indifferent; he was busy in the field attending to other matters. In addition, when his brother came back, instead of rejoicing, he criticized his father’s love and ready forgiveness toward the lost son. The immediate application of this teaching of Jesus is derived from His figurative connection of the older son to the religious leaders at the sight. In direct representation of the older son, the religious leaders were most of the time indifferent to the needs of the sinners, even contemptuous at times. They showed no effort to bring the lost to repentance. In comparison to the older brother, they were more occupied with other things. They were comfortable in showing publicly how much they have kept the laws of God and engaging in theological disagreements. Nevertheless, many around them were deprived of spiritual food, but they dared not teach them the ways of God. The lack of spiritual love was evident in them. These self-centered individuals even disregarded the efforts of the One who was making efforts to save the lost: they criticized Jesus. In this regard, it is possible to assume that when the sinners repented and returned to God, they did not rejoice. Is there something we can learn from this parable as God’s people living today? The same spiritual trap that entangled the religious leaders is likely to ensnare us. Th
Yes, marketers have the capacity to change cultural values if at all the marketing process is applied the right way. How can they achieve this? Marketers are responsible for introducing new products and services in a given society. Though the cultural values of a given group of people may be a hurdle to the marketers at first, a correct understanding of the values and the people at hand may be used to the benefit of the marketers and the people in question. Correct marketing that involves promoting and educating the targeted audience about the new product or service is the best way forward. The product/service being marketed should also deliver the promotion pledges. A good marketing strategy should be applied that involves studying the target market, the existing cultural values of that society, and identifying the most suitable method of penetrating the market. This should be done variably, one being by assimilating the product/service with the culture without expecting an immediate change in the cultural values of that society. Another method that can be utilized is outright campaigning against a set of values and, at the same time proposing another set of values that supports the marketing and adoption of the product/service that is being marketed. One of the most popular ways is instilling fear to the consumers highlighting the disadvantages or dangers of a particular cultural value that the society embraces by comparing it with the marketer’s proposed good or service-driven value that is supposed to perform better than the former. The strength of the brand name determines a lot on how the marketer’s attempt to change the cultural values of that society will perform and the reception it gets from the target market. A recent case of campaigning against a cultural practice is the global campaign by marketers and some non-governmental organizations against genetically modified foods wherein their campaigns were quoting the dangers of the genetically modified foods pitting them against the benefits of the naturally grown ones. Society is now more informed about looming dangers in continuous use of what they were consuming previously change and a new cultural value of being more health-conscious immediately put in place. Consumption Rituals A consumption ritual can be said to be a type of expressive symbolic activity consisting of multiple behaviors that occur in a fixed episodic sequence that tend to be repeated over time, either annually, weekly, monthly, or seasonally. Rituals may be conducted within a religion, community, family, country, or by a group of people with a common relationship or interests. Within a consumption ritual that applies to a particular group, there exists a ritual behavior that is dramatically scripted and is acted out and performed with the for
Hu Jintao is the secretary general to the Central committee of the communist party of China and the current Chinese President. This essay will analyze the speech made by him on the 17 th National congress for CPC which was held in Beijing at the great hall. He started by the importance of the 17 th congress on the stage of development and reformation in China and continued to stress the theme of the congress as that perpetuating socialism with crucial characteristics of China, follow the Deng Xiao Ping theory and applies the scientific perspective of development while continuing to bring closer the mind. It also persists in reform and the opening up, pursues development in a scientific manner, helps in promoting social harmony while driving for new victories in building an all-round prosperous society. He continued to emphasize the significance of the great banner of Chinese-characteristics rich in the developing and bringing together the various ethnics in China to a common endeavor he continued to appreciate the role of an emancipating mind in initiating Chinese-like characteristics. China is being transformed to a large extent due to the dynamism of the today’s world this, Jintao says, has brought exceptional opportunities and challenges and to deal with this, he suggests that CPC must hoist great banner of socialism coupled with Chinese qualities and start off the people from this point in history with strategic opportunities to build a successful society which further speeds up the modernization of socialist culture. While reviewing the work that has been achieved through the CPC governance within the last five years, president Hun Jintao said that people of all the ethnic groups held Deng Xiao Ping theory’s banner with a special thought to three Represents, while overcoming the risks and the difficulties involved and promoting a new sense of socialism in the new Marxist condition currently in China. During the previous congress the party introduced the thought of three representatives which had a guide and a strategic plan to develop China in virtually all aspects that in order to efficiently carry out these guiding principles, convened a total of seven sessions in which all its decisions concerning the major issues like the reinstitution of institutions, making the better of the market economy, making stronger the governing ability and capacity of the party through those master plan for the period 2006-2007. All the above named efforts by the CPC ended up making great achievements. His speech had a lot of emphasis to several factors like social development, its impact on the harmony, his general comments on the society, and the image of CPC during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. He also talked about the quake of Sichuan. Concerning the social development, president Jintao commented on the rapid development currently witnessed by the availability in rural areas, of free and compulsory education, creatio
The main objective of Heifer International is to end poverty and hunger by facilitating programs through which individuals can obtain livestock and tree seedlings. The organization offers extensional training to members of a community to ensure the success of its programs and encourages beneficiaries of Heifer International to give at least one of the female offspring of the livestock to another member of the community who has undergone training. By embracing the Pass on the Gift strategy, the organization ensures it realizes its initiatives and goals on a large scale and uplifts a significant number of people. As a nonprofit organization, Heifer International sources for funds from individuals and organizations and may enter into partnerships with foundations, corporations and governments involved in projects to create wealth and opportunities. Apart from training individuals on appropriate animal husbandry, Heifer International incorporates various elements of sustainable development education, which enlightens beneficiaries on the management of the income generated from animal products or plants. The organization acknowledges the fact that keeping people out of poverty is a complicated process, which requires the adoption of approaches in the social and economic context to ensure the growth of the initial investment. The US Agency for International Aid (USAID) considers aspects of the management of an individual project and the project portfolio in making the decision to fund an organization. Considerations regarding effective portfolio management entail the cost effectiveness of projects and their impacts on the target population or community. Cost effective projects highlight the likelihood of success of the strategic goals while projects with unclear cost estimates indicate the underlying hurdles and inefficiencies in the implementation process. To make an appropriate decision regarding the funding of Heifer International programs, the USAID needs to embrace evaluation procedures that will provide rough estimates on the gains of the beneficiaries in terms of the income, nutrition and wealth derived from livestock and seedlings (Hooft and Terry 113). The estimates of the beneficiaries’ gain should indicate a sense of relationship between the expenditures on Heifer International programs and the socioeconomic benefits associated with the programs. A case study on Heifer International programs in Uganda illustrates the comprehensiveness of the organization’s programs and the viability of USAID funding the projects on livestock and plants. The Uganda project entailed the organization of families into projects based on a variety of animals with each family obtaining a cow, pig, goat or fish. Each family had to meet the conditions set by Heifer International, which included the participation of a member from each family in a series of training sessions, preparation of a shed for the expected animal and planting of appropriate fodder crops. The emphasis on zero grazing eliminated the challenges relating to the ownership of large sizes of land because most of the poor fami
