Falls among elderly individuals can cause severe injuries and other health issues as well as death in the worst cases. Maxine, a 72-years-old female, reports that she has fallen three times over the last fourteen days. The factors which put her at risk include her medication, poor vision, and age. The medicines prescribed to her include Lasix 60 mg PO twice daily and Metoprolol 50 mg PO every morning for hypertension, Metformin 500 mg PO twice daily to manage diabetes, and Percocet 1-2 tabs PO every 6 hours for relieving pain. Antihypertensive, medicines for lowering blood sugar in diabetic patients, and drugs with an opioid as an active component have such side effects as dizziness, muscle cramp, and weakness, as well as tiredness, which increase fall risks (Kernisan, 2020). Maxine notes that she has forgotten to bring her glasses to the hospital, which is an indication that she is visually impaired. She is frail and less flexible due to her age, thus being susceptible to falls when she steps on unstable objects or ground or knocks something with her feet. Therefore, she can miss steps or stumble on items and tumble. Maxine’s safety can be guaranteed by implementing various interventions to minimize fall risks. The use of assistive devices and environmental modification can be effective ways of addressing the patient’s problem (World Health Organization, 2018). Tools such as stairlifts and walking canes will enhance her stability, preventing her from falling even when experiencing side effects of diabetes and hypertension medications. Removing the objects which can serve as obstacles and ensuring the pavements she uses in her compound have no staircases can help alleviate her falling chances. Indeed, these preventive strategies will eliminate the dangers of injuries and possible fractures.
Recent marketing, marketing has changed dramatically influenced by new information technologies and the Internet expansion. The influence of new marketing transcends the strict sale of products and services. Since marketing has a profound effect on global; culture, it should augment society and stimulate social progress. It must have standards of taste, conduct, and integrity that extend well beyond legal minimums-it must become more responsible and socially aware. Thus it appears that the social role of marketing will be sharpened by the increasing public concern for responsible business actions, by greater awareness of the social implications of management decisions, by rising social expectations, and by better educated, trained, and more socially concerned managers who perform marketing functions. Marketing executives, in the long run, have no alternative but to act in a socially responsible manner (Bearden et al 2004). This is so because of power-responsibility relationships. Many marketing executives seem to be altering their viewpoint of government roles — from the traditional perspective of government intervention being inherently undesirable and wrong to a recognition of the necessity of a government role in business as a regulator, arbitrator, stimulator, customer, and even partner. This orientation is embodied in the concept of a new, socially conscious capitalistic or market system. And in fact, there seems to be a feeling today among many young people that government and not business is where the action is. In the last few years, there have been governmental decisions about quality standards, devices for controlling air pollution, implied product warranties, packaging rules and regulations, the relationships of national brands to private labels, pricing practices, credit practices, mergers, and acquisitions (Boone and Kurtz 2004). For instance, such corporations as Amazon.com and BroadBand Sports marked a new era in modern business. Still, no perfect economic system has existed or ever will exist, and the market system is no exception. Marketing can play a role in solving some of the fundamental problems currently confronting our nation. For instance, the renewal of our urban areas is closely related to marketing development and practices, particularly in t
In the current generation, education is different from that of the old generation in ways. In the modern age, technology development has led to the integration of internet research that was not there in the past in the education system (Raja & Nagasubramani, 2018). The internet provides an excellent opportunity to enhance the quality of education, and thus modern learners have a better experience. The learners of today spend most of their time on the internet, social media applications such as Facebook and Twitter, and playing video games (Shane-Simpson et al., 2018). In the past generation, the learners had better interaction and played sessions with their peers after school. The earlier generation system primarily aimed at imparting knowledge through theoretical learning and books, while the existing generation integrates experimentation and technology to facilitate learning. Researchers need to consider the differences between the two cohorts as the preceding cohort’s people may have differing opinions on technology with modern learners. Aging considers both the psychological, biological, and social changes that happen in a person. Physical aging is characterized by progressive diminishing in cells’ physicochemical properties and metabolism (Liguori et al., 2018). It leads to a generalized decrease in kidneys, heart, and genital organ function, causing diseases. Diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, and hypertension are some of the conditions experienced in the old. In males, the hairline may gradually recede, and also hair from other parts may disappear. Grey hair is also considered a sign of the elderly as the pigment cells diminish progressively with age. The common psychological factors affecting the elderly include dementia, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders (Mitina et al., 2020). Older people have few social friends compared to young adults, The elderly tend to cut the less essential ties and maintain those that are important to them. The social attitude toward the elderly by society is generally undesirable (Berger, 2017). They are regarded as forgetful, weak, selfish, and stubborn by the community. Above fifty years, I will consider myself aged because I will start experiencing most age-related changes.
Introduction According to the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, quality improvement (QI) is “doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right way, for the right person—and having the best possible results” (as cited in Fesseha & Mathioudakis, 2018). What does this QI plan aim to achieve:   * Improved outcomes for diabetes patients   * Enhanced staff performance and engagement   * QI targets hospital’ routine activities This hospital facility has faced some complaints and areas of improvement when the quality of care provided to people with diabetes was reviewed by its management. Quality improvement can be described as performing the right actions at a necessary time for the patient, as defined by the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (as cited in Fesseha & Mathioudakis, 2018). This presentation will detail how this hospital will approach patient X’s condition with this new quality improvement plan considering the five domains of quality. Patient Case This QI plan is inspired by the following patient case:   * X is a 50 years old woman;   * Emergency department visit;   * Type II diabetes;   * Frequent readmissions;   * Kidney complications. This QI intervention is based on a patient case of diabetes. Patient X was admitted to this hospital with diabetes. She arrived at the emergency department with the symptoms of emergency hyperglycemia. After being treated with fluid and electrolyte replacement and insulin therapy, X was admitted to the hospital for further evaluations. Her condition was thought to be caused by the patient’s diet, and she was discharged after a short stay. Quality Improvement for Diabetes Care Diabetes care depends on the following:   * Continuous management;   * Hospital personnel performance;   * Patient’s self-care skills. This intervention targets:   * Patient education and self-care skills. Diabetes is a chronic condition, and its management depends not only on the performance of the hospital’s staff but also on the self-management skills of a patient. Particular attention to diet, physical activity, medication, and blood sugar monitoring is necessary to control diabetes successfully. As demonstrated by the case of X, some patients find it challenging to adhere to all recommendations or misunderstand them, which leads to readmissions and complications. According to Fesseha and Mathioudakis (2018), current issues with caring for diabetes are barriers at the levels of the healthcare system, provider, and patient that do not allow individuals to undergo routine screenings and learn how to manage their illness correctly. This QI will target patient education to ensure that individuals admitted to this hospital with diabetes receive sufficient care and knowledge to help them monitor and manage their disease properly. Goals With this QI, the following hospital-level objectives will be achieved:   * Reduced length of stay for diabetes cases.   * Decreased number of readmissions. The goals will be delivered by:   * Working with multidisciplinary
Public meetings make it easier for societies to come up with the best solutions to their problems. The purpose of public meetings is to address certain challenges affecting different communities. They encourage more people to come together and express their opinions. The targeted public meeting focused on the issue of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) undertakes similar annual meetings in order to inform the public about the energy issues affecting the country. The purpose of this meeting was to analyze the developments and issues surrounding the use of SMRs. The meeting was organized by the USNRC. The elected officials considered the major problems emerging from the use of SMRs. The facilitator wanted the elected officials to deliver their research findings and opinions to the public. The function of the advisory committee was to deliver quality information to the interested parties. The organizers enjoined different members of the public. The video can be retrieved from “ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpCWHWysosk ”. According to the NRC, public involvement is something critical towards the success of its projects. This practice ensures there is fair regulation of the country’s nuclear industry. Public meetings encourage citizens to present their suggestions. The agency also posts such annual meetings on its website. The agency’s website is “ www.nrc.gov ”. The facilitator also ensured the meeting was convenient to the public. The meeting took place in the afternoon. This consideration encouraged more citizens and stakeholders to attend the public meeting. The agency used its premises in order to get the best outcomes. This strategy attracted more industrial players, policymakers, and members of the public. The role of the committee was to present its facts on the use of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). The staff identified the opportunities, gaps, and innovations associated with such SMRs. The relevant members of staff also gathered the required feedbacks from different citizens. They also made the relevant suggestions and recommendations depending on the information gathered from the public. They also obtained expert-opinions from different stakeholders in the nuclear energy industry. The citizens were the prime targets of this specific public meeting. The mission of this meeting was to support the use of SMRs. The organizers of the meeting encouraged different citizens to present their feedbacks, questions, and suggestions. Such questions were answ
Chapter 19 In chapter 19 of his book “Basic Economics,” Sowell presents an overview of the misconceptions that people have on the national economy. He identifies two common misconceptions, zero-sum thinking, and misconceptions about what makes up the national economy. The introductory paragraph also notes that the role of the government in the national economy is also full of misconceptions. The role of Government In this section, Sowell compares economic and political decision and what they both pose to the overall direction of the national economy. Sowell argues that while the average citizen can make their decision understood through either the voting process or marketplace choices, it is important to understand which type of decisions are appropriate for a particular situation. From this section, the main argument proffered is that while the public can make both economic and political decisions to achieve their needs, outside forces such as politicians, economic disparity and converting theory into reality, can affect the outcomes of these decisions. Zero-Sum Thinking In this section, Sowell argues that national economic decisions are usually hampered by the thought that all economic gains are made by oppressing those with less power. He supports this argument by presenting policies geared at protecting the weak, and notions held by less developed countries trying to starve of foreign investors. This section shows that paranoia about being oppressed by others has stopped people and even countries from reaching their potential. The fallacy of Composition This section presents “the one size fits all” notion that sometimes affects decision makes. Sowell argues that people usually forget that the national economy is complex; hence, changes in one section usually has no effect on another. He supports this by looking at situations that lead people to make generalized conclusions about the economy and the mistakes of making such conclusions. In this section, the main point is that to make a conclusive decision, it is important to look at the whole economy in general rather than fixating on a particular aspect of the economy. Market Failure In the final section, Sowell argues that market failure may, at times result from government failure. He backs up this claim by looking at various instances of market failure, including failure in the banking sector, the great depression, and incentives and constraints. In this section, the main point is that the government has a lot of influence on the national economy, and sometimes, market failure can be attributed to government failures. Chapter 22 In this chapter, Sowell presents an overview of international trade, with special attention given to free trade and protectionism. He presents arguments for and against both free trade and protectionism. He argues that while economists are mainly in favor of free trade, the public, however, does not hold it in such high regards. The public might opt for protectionism when dealing with international trade, however, this choice is usually as

The central theme of Henry V is kingship which unveils true relations between the main characters and poetical situation in the country. Shakespeare vividly portrays a monarchy and its role in the life of ordinary citizens and royal persons. Henry cannot rely on the sacred name of the king, since the divine right has been canceled by his father’s act of usurping the throne. Thesis Shakespeare highlights that Henry V has a moral right to the throne because of his royal ancestry and heroic nature. From the very beginning, Henry is depicted as a kingly paragon; Canterbury expresses wonder at this new king’s attributes in the opening scene. Shakespeare portrays that Henry V, King of England, must prove his fitness to rule through appropriate choices and actions. As well as being a great orator, Henry excels in four areas: he can “reason in divinity,” he is an expert in “commonwealth affairs,” his “discourse of war” is highly impressive, and he can expound on “any cause of policy” (i.e., argue about politics). It is possible to assume that Shakespeare is intentionally reluctant to tarnish Henry’s heroic achievements by reminding the audience, early in the play, that Henry’s claim to the throne was not accepted by every faction and that finally, his son lost the crown to the York family. Through the character of Henry Shakespeare focused on tactical skills important for a king. In order to defend Henry, Shakespeare portrays that the stability and order of the kingdom partly depend on Henry’s proving his qualit
Approaches to adult learning are multiple, and they can be framed within different learning theories and models (Palis & Quiros 2014). For example, a relatively popular approach is Knowles’ andragogy (Stocker, Burmester & Allen 2014), which refers to the motivational and attitudinal factors of adults’ learning. In particular, Knowles suggests that adults should be led to understand the need and purpose of learning, which can be achieved through the proper use of goals, objectives, structuring, and outlining in training courses (Palis & Quiros 2014). Moreover, to successfully learn, adults need to be sufficiently motivated, especially internally (Stocker et al. 2014), although the external motivation is also of importance. The examples of internal motivation include personal wishes, factors related to self-esteem, and preferences; external motivation can refer to rewards (for instance, promotions) (Palis & Quiros 2014). Apart from that, the ability to self-direct and self-educate should be encouraged in adults, which can be achieved through the introduction of specific activities like debates and case studies. Palis and Quiros (2014) also highlight the fact that education needs to be appropriate for the level of learners’ preparedness and relevant to them (that is, not below their ability). Furthermore, the experiences of adults are a major source of learning, which is why it should be employed in training (Daly 2017; Ross & Rohrbaugh 2014; Stocker et al. 2014). This idea was highlighted by Knowles and major theorist David Kolb, who has developed the model of experiential learning (Page & Margolis 2017). The latter emphasises the importance of both experiential learning and reflection on it (Palis & Quiros 2014). Similarly, the significance of reflective learning is supported by other authors (Daly, 2017; Steinberg & Vinjamuri, 2014; Stocker et al. 2014). Thus, additional principles of adult learning include experiential and reflective learning. Finally, it is noteworthy that active learning is also highlighted as a major principle of adult learning nowadays. Technically, the approach requires encouraging learners to actively participate in the learning process (Steinberg & Vinjamuri 2014), which can be ensured by providing them with an opportunity to contribute with the help of various tasks. Also, reflection (self-reflection) and experiential learning that is focused on skill development is a part of active learning (Palis & Quiros 2014). In summary, the principles of adult learning can be gleaned from various specific approaches, which may be interconnected and provide advice on the possible facilitating factors to be considered during course development. The above-mentioned principles demonstrate some mechanisms that can help to tailor training to correspond to the needs of
