The contemporary healthcare environment is affected by several new trends. According to Minute Videos (2016), the popularity of international travel for leisure and business contributes to the spreading of infectious diseases to new destinations. Thus, promoting global health and strengthening the country’s health security has become one of the main goals of American care providers (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion [ODPHP], 2014). The present paper will discuss the role and responsibility of nurses working in primary care in recognizing and responding to the threat of the Zika virus. The essay will also reflect on the most important and relevant aspects of the course. Nurses and Global Health Zika virus disease has become a popular topic in global health over the past few years. Edelman and Kudzma (2018) note that the disease is often asymptomatic, although it poses a significant threat to pregnant women and infants who live in or travel to countries with a high risk of Zika virus transmission. The virus can be transmitted through sexual intercourse and mosquito bites (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2018). To promote global health, nurses must recognize and understand this threat and take the necessary measures to address it in their practice settings. Nurses play a critical role in global health promotion due to their unique position in the healthcare sector. Edmonson, McCarthy, Trent-Adams, McCain, and Marshall (2017) state that nurses work at micro-, macro-, and mesosystem levels to provide care to patients, advocate for significant health issues, and enhance the quality of medical care on a global scale. For example, nurses often work in interprofessional teams, which allows them to build alliances with care providers and organizations, thus obtaining more resources for evidence-based care and prevention (Sherwood, n.d.). Based on this information, it can be concluded that nurses in primary care should respond to the emerging threat of the Zika virus by advising traveling patients about disease transmission and prevention, collaborating with other medical professionals to strengthen the U.S. national health security, and spreading awareness about Zika virus and its importance to global health. Nurses can also participate in disease prevention by evaluating evidence-based prevention strategies and advocating for global health. Community Health Promotion One particular aspect of the course that was the most rel
After America suffered a terrorist attack in 2001, drastic changes were introduced in commercial airports across the world. In the U.S Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and use of full body scanners at airport checkpoints was introduced by the government. Since then, passengers have to be scanned for threat items thoroughly before boarding a plane. The introduction of these new measures brought about mixed reaction from passengers. Although, most of the passengers approved the body scanning others felt it was violation of their privacy right. In the paper, how scanners work, has been discussed. The problem of violation of pivacy and strategy to solve it has also been discussed. Introduction After the terrorist attacks of 2001, the US government had to respond on security measures done in airports (Chad, 42). In response to this the federal government developed new legislation, that is, Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA). This act led to the establishment of Transportation Security Administration which was to boost security within the US airports. TSA had to recruit employees to supply all commercial airports with staff to improve security. Initially, TSA officials started with the use of private security screeners. During these initial stages of implementation, TSA was faced the problem of few staffs to screen passengers and their baggage. After a few months, TSA officials started using fully body scanners on passengers. These scanners improved the security checkup efficiency greatly as they could scan things which cannot be identified by other scanners. These scanners show the image of a person naked without clothes. These scanners thus have made it easier and quicker for TSA security officers to carry out thorough checkups on passengers. These fully body scanners have thus reduced significantly the long waits and queues experienced by passengers in commercial airports before. Although, these scanners have with them a lot of advantages on bases of time and accuracy, a great concern on privacy of passengers have become an issue. The issue of privacy on passengers has become a major problem against the full body scanners. Although, majority of the passengers agree on use of full body scanners, a number still perceive it as violation of personal right. This is because it portrays the naked features of a person. Another problem associated with full body scanners is the health risk of getting cancer. Although, there is not enough evidence to support the scanners to cause cancer, the radiations emitted
The situation under analysis is concerned with Moira’s case that such thing as unconsciously-made work and cases of drinking alcohol and other negative factors take place at the workplace. This employee feels the stoppage of her own principles when observing the facts, which tend to move a company back. She hesitates, due to the situation in the workplace, how to act in terms of prevention of other employees’ ignorance of the requirements at work and specifically for business affairs. Though, here one can see a deep and prevailing intention of Moira to resolve the problem by means of complaints. The reason is that stools are despised in society, and her direct actions could spoil the opinion of the personnel about her so that the career ladder will not be urged upwards for her then. On the other hand, she intends to maintain the right development of things at the workplace in order to make the results of the company’s production ability higher and higher. Scarifying with her position within the ordinary staff, she, in return, claims to evoke a response from the top layer in the company’s hierarchy. From first sight, it is the first desire of every conscientious employee when trying to prevent such negative facts in a company. They can do that, but, in fact, they can lose this struggle for two reasons:  1. gender;  2. age. As for the first reason, it is clear that sex differences are felt when comparing men and women at work. Journal of Managerial Issues once wrote a very interesting investigation concerning the attitudinal relationships at the workplace and the level of personal responsibility in both genders: “Tyson (1992) concluded that although women appeared to enter the workplace with a greater ethical sensitivity to unethical behaviors.” (Ambrose 454, 1999) Thus, the intention of Moira is made out at the moment. Another point is that every employee has a well-shaped imagination of what is good or bad in the workplace characterizing the things which seemed at the very beginning of working for a company negative and they did not coincide with an employee idea of what should be done in a weighty company omitting the cases of harmful behaviors. John S. Hunkin strictly criticizes the facts when employees agree with the current state of things leading a company
Introduction   * Community Health Center (CHC)- a healthcare provider in Central Florida.   * Its EHR system was not optimized.   * A gap analysis was carried out.   * Three major areas of improvement were identified.   * This presentation discuses elements of the initiative to optimize CHC’s EHR. Community Health Centers (CHC) plays an important role in providing healthcare services to at-risk population patients, uninsured, and underserved populations in Central Florida. However, its EHR system had not been optimized for documentation and reporting hence the need for an initiative to improve service delivery and quality of care. A gap analysis review was carried out to highlight areas that needed improvement. Three major areas were identified and tagged for improvement including standardization of documentation process, aligning pre-visit planned care with the system, and optimizing the entire EHR system for better reporting. This presentation describes the vision of initiative that CHC undertook, discusses core clinical applications in the case study, and highlights some of the benefits identified by the awardee. Importance of Optimized EHR to CHC. EHR Vision   * Provide improved patient care.   * Offer the best quality care services.   * Standardized documentation process.   * Improvement of pre-visit planned care.   * Align EHR reporting.   * Several objectives were set and achieved.   * Planned care would be enhanced.   * Patients with serious conditions would be identified.   * Gaps in care provision would be filled.   * Care providers would benefit.   * Medication errors would be reduced. The vision of this EHR initiative was to provide improved patient care by offering the best quality care services to the available patient population. This vision would be achieved by creating a standardized documentation process within the existing EHR system to facilitate patient care management, coordination, engagement, and education. Additionally, the standardized system would make pre-visit planned care easy to report and align it with the EHR system. Finally, the EHR system would be optimized for general reporting and filling gaps that existed in the earlier version. The standardization and optimization of the EHR system would support this vision by allowing patients to access care during office and after work hours. Besides, patients would access their records from anywhere using the EHR platform. Patients would also get an electronic copy of their aftercare summary. Besides, planned care would be enhanced through documentation during pre-visits. It would also be easy to identify patients with serious health conditions. The facility would be in a position to identify patients with gaps in their care programs and address different needs, such
Disruptive behavior refers to a mental health disorder that occurs in children who are unreasonably oppositional and noncompliant to authority (Keith 2010, p. 1). This disorder is easy to diagnose in children because it shows in social settings like the classroom, playground, home, etc. This paper is an analysis of three ABC forms filled in a classroom showing observations made on a student (Teddy). It explains how these observations could be an indication of Disruptive Behavior Disorders in the student. The first form reveals that Teddy suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This is a disorder in which a child is either unable to pay attention or he/she is very active (Keith 2010, p. 1). Teddy’s case is that of attention deficit since he is unable to pay attention even after being instructed by the teacher to be attentive. This kind of disorder is predominant in boys. Evidence from the first form suggesting ADHD include Teddy’s failure to look at the worksheet when it is given to him and his failure to pay attention to the teacher as the teacher explains the worksheet. The ADHD leads to revelation of another type of disorder in Teddy before the session ends. When the teacher finishes explaining, Teddy says that he will not do the assignment. When informed that he has to finish the work before he goes home, he defies the teacher’s instructions to stay out of the classroom. These two occurrences show Oppositional Defiant Disorder which exhibits itself in children breaking rules in schools and homes. This disorder is also evident during the tape session when Teddy sits on his book and starts complaining that he does not have one. When asked by the teacher to stand, he refuses and when warned, he leans on his desk with his head. In the third form, a third type of behavioral disorders is exhibited. This disorder is the Conduct Disorder that is exhibited by habitual breaking of laws and regulations in the society. When the teacher allows students to exchange valentine cards, Teddy calls his male counterparts “wusses”. When threatened with an office referral, he says he does not care. When he is offered cards by his teacher to pass to classmates, he shouts that he is not a “wuss”. This behavior is characteristic of sheer nonconformance with society regulations and rules (Keith 2010, p. 1). As shown in the analysis above, there are three types of Disruptive Behavior Disorders. These are the ADHD, the Oppositional Defiant Disorder and the Conduct Disorder. The last two occur mostly in young children with ADHD, neurological damage or low birth weight. The three disorders are predominant in children who were abandoned or abused, those living in poverty or children whose mothers are abused (Keith 2010, p. 1). This evidences the fact that these behaviors are, actually, mental disorders. Disruptive Behavior Disorders should be detected as early as possible for treatment. Treatment for these disorders include a combination of special training for parents to handle the situation, therapy for the children to aid them in learning healthy ways of e
Introduction Operation management refers to a field of management that oversees, designs and redesigns organizational operations in productions of goods and/services (Bicheno & Elliot 1997). The field has the responsibilities of ensuring that organization operations are efficient in reference to the resources needed to meet customers’ requirements (Matthew & Tan 2009). It is concerned with management of the processes that transform or converts the inputs to outputs such as the conversion of raw materials, labor, and energy to goods and services (Bicheno & Elliot 2009). The field ensures that an organization maximizes its profits while undergoing the minimum cost of production possible (Bicheno & Elliot 2009). In operation management, both long and short-term business strategies begin with high-level departments. They “are based on careful and sound projection of demand for the product or service (Shim & Siegel 1999 p2).” Operating strategies and plans start with derivation of short-term and long-term procedures in production that transform later into purchasing plans (Shim & Siegel 1999). All this plans and strategies should focus on maximizing the profits and minimizing the cost of production. During formulation of the plans and strategies, the decision-makers should concentrate on the issues that focus on competitive advantage, as this will give the organization the advantage to maximizing its profits (Sheik 2003). An organization thus focuses on its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, the threats associated with its production, markets, and the finances generated (Sheik 2003). An organization must therefore focus and evaluate its decision-making tools and methodologies in order to generate plans and strategies that will enhance its achievement of the goals (Garg & Venkitakrishnan 2003). In operation management, the decisions made on the order winners and qualifiers affect an organization. This paper focuses on the order winners and qualifiers of Nokia Company, evaluation of means of delivery, improvement and the potential implications of the improved orders and qualifiers. Orders Winners and Qualifiers Nokia Company deals with the production of mobile phones and their parts. In the recent years, the industry of mobile phone and their parts production has relatively grown thus increasing the competition in the market. The company has therefore focused on evaluating its order winners and qualifiers. The company gears towards achieving a competitive advantage over its competitors while minimizing its cost, maximizing its flexibility and maximizing the profits (Slack 1999). Order winners refer to those characteristics that give Nokia products a competitive advantage over its competitors’ products. Order winners refer to the characteristics that persuade a customer to buy Nokia phones or parts over those of other mobile phone production companies. The order winners focus on the price or cost, quality, flexibility, product design, image, delivery reliability and speed, and after-service market (Barney 1991). On the other hand, order qualifiers refer to the aspects of competitiveness that Nokia operations management h
The construction of Sydney Opera House, which started in 1957, is one of the projects that I got a chance to research on while in college. It is a perfect example showing the impact of poor project planning on an organization. During this period (1997), planners had estimated that the project would last 6 years, and would cost $7 million (Murray, 2013). Unfortunately, the project’s triple constrain priorities were not clear and were changed on several occasions before the project got completed. The change of one priority automatically affected the others. One of the initial changes was done on the layout of the building. During the construction, the multipurpose opera hall’s design was changed. This affected the interior layout. This confirms the effect of changing a priority. This further caused other unprecedented changes such as the introduction of a cinema, theatre, and library. The consequence of these changes is that the project was completed in ten years later, and ended up costing $102 million. It took more time and costs than what the planners expected. The scope of the project ought to be clearly defined before the project. This could have helped the planners avoid changing priorities (Schwalbe, 2010). Moreover, they could have saved on costs and time, among other things. Project attributes have several dimensions that must be managed simultaneously. They include people involved in the implementation of projects, communication and the level of collaboration between them, time available, and the type and level of knowledge and skills needed to complete certain tasks. They also include management of risks, coordination of sub-projects or project activities, and organizational and cultural changes involved in the project (Mazura, Pisarskia, Chang, & Ashkanasy, 2013). Projects come in different sizes and shapes. Their attributes are used in enhancing the definition of a project. Firstly, every project must have a unique purpose. It should have a clearly defined objective. In reference to the aforementioned case, an example of this objective is to build an opera house. This attribute helps in the analysis of the success of the project. It also determines the most relevant projects (Meredith & Mantel, 2011). Secondly, a project is temporary. This implies that it is not done in an abstract. It must have a clearly defined start
Introduction The quality of life lived can always be enhanced through very many ways within society. One of the ways to nourish relationships within families or amongst individuals is participating in leisure activities such as making a holiday trip 1 . Development of tourist cities and leisure centres ought to consider all individuals including those who are physically challenged. Tourism destinations all over the world should consider the creation of barrier-free tourism which would accommodate people of all walks of life. People with physical challenges should be incorporated into the design of pedestrian roads and heritage square. Tourism involves lots of leisure activities including travelling which creates new life from ordinary life through the encountering with new cultures. People from all walks of life have a desire to enjoy travelling to tourist cities and participate in various leisure activities which enhances self-esteem as well as assisting in social adjustment (Scott 2000). Urban designing is defined as the art involved in designing places for the purpose of settling people 2 . The design method presents one of the most important elements of urban planning. The planning process entails various aspects such as the aesthetic value of building masses based on the intended functions. In addition, enough passage areas are constructed to enhance an easy movement of both people and vehicle traffic. This would improve the communication links within the towns. Urban planning and design incorporate visionary frameworks which project quality outlook of the development formats capable of accommodating vast developmental activities and at the same time maintains socio-cultural activities (Susan and John 2004). Development of modern quality attraction centres in Hong Kong requires the use of upgraded technology capable of producing modern designs and at the same time maintaining a sustainable environment. The aim of this research focuses on scrutinizing the available urban design methods and ultimately advice the general public on the preferred designs capable of maintaining the aesthetic value of the natural environment. Infrastructural development does not entirely define an urban metropolis; it is also defined by the expectations and ambitions of its habitants and characterized by its upsides and downsides. The Cities background, practices and communal set up form the core of the city’s existence. There is a need to effectively administer the city’s populace, community and academic resources. Effective management will portray the administrators’ ability to initiate exclusive strategies for growth, which should involve the population and focused on alleviating poverty. The political dispensation needs to be improved and the corresponding reorganization of the societal set up achieved. All available capital should be called to use so as to uphold a well-balanced growth. Whatever the methodology employed to attain these objectives should encompass the following precedence; discrepancie
Introduction Given a foreign context in a certain situation, anyone can be called a stranger. One is considered a stranger when he or she has minimal knowledge of the new norms, values, and the environment that surrounds him or her. And vice versa, a local is the one who has minimal knowledge of the stranger’s habits, interests, beliefs, and traditions. In general, communication with a stranger goes down to the anticipation and the prediction of the answers. When it comes to the interaction with the local person, it is quite different as everyone is confident in the anticipations and predictions. On the contrary, when communicating with strangers, the individuals involved in the communication are more cautious of the possible answers as well of the uncertainty of their predictions (Gudykunst & Kim, 1995, p. 430). Minority Group Characteristics Because migration, intermarriage, war, and other factors our planet is populated by various ethnicity groups. Minority groups are usually different from the dominant society groups that possess power. Usually, there are many stereotypes that surround minority groups, which allows the dominant population to justify the poor treatment of the minorities. Lastly, a significant characteristic of the minority population in connected with its development of collective identities for insulating themselves from the world that does not accept them (Ballantine & Roberts, 2014, p. 258). Racial VS Ethnic Groups There are many races that make up the world, although these races are divided into various ethnicities. Despite the fact that many may confuse racial and ethnic groups as the same term, an ethnic group can be a group of people that share common national, cultural, or religious background. Race is not characterized by the choice to belong to a particular religion, a race is something every person is born with. Ethnocentrism Ethnocentrism is usually described as a psychological disposition of an i
