Introduction Working as a nurse in pediatrics entails much patience and understanding of the young patients who have limited language skills to express how they feel. It is quite a challenge to determine how I can help a child in intense pain when I do not know the nature of his or her pain and the parent is likewise frantic and helpless and they are just looking at me to provide them with the much-needed relief. This paper will deal with my own experience in helping a child in pain manage her situation. I would like to share my own reflective journey through my experience to serve as a lesson to readers who might undergo the same dilemma in their future nursing practice. To organize my reflection, I shall follow Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle (Jasper, 2003) so that readers can fully understand what was going on inside of me as I dealt with a child in pain and the process I went through to resolve the problem situation. Description A three-year-old toddler was brought to the emergency room one day when I was the pediatric nurse on duty. She cried incessantly and kept mumbling the word “ouwieeee!”. Her mother was very anxious and kept giving information as to when the child began feeling pain. In addition, she informed that she initially gave the child the usual Paracetamol medicine, but it did not work. She rushed her daughter to the hospital because she has been crying for over an hour and complaining of severe pain, but she could not tell where it hurt. Feelings Since I have ample experience working with sick children, I felt confident that I would be able to handle the situation. However, I remember that most of the child patients I had were older and could verbally communicate well. I realized that it was my first time handling a frantic toddler who had limited verbal skills and I needed to ease her pain as soon as possible because I can tell she was suffering so much. My heart went out to the beautiful crying child, whose hair was all wet from sweat and tears. I also pitied her mother who looked so helpless in the situation as her child clung desperately to her. Looking at the mother and child, I felt I had to take charge and do something to provide immediate relief to the child. Evaluation In evaluating the situation, I knew that the pain in the child was prolonged and the agitation it caused the child were negative factors I had to contend with. To make matters worse, the child was unable to provide me with the necessary information I needed to give a preliminary diagnosis, due to the fact that her verbal skills were limited. We had to wait for the pediatrician to come and the delay was caused by the large number of pediatric patients that came into the emergency room that day, therefore we were short of doctors. On the other hand, the fact that the mother was there with a child gave her the support she needed. It was really helpful that the mother was very cooperative and open to suggestions. Parents are usually the most affected when their children are in pain. Walsh & Barfield (2006) found that parents were willing to shell out any amount of money just to see their child’s suffering from pain end. Their study
In one of the most well-known monologues in British Literature, Hamlet contemplates the purpose of life, wondering if the miseries and struggles experienced by people mean that life is not worth living. In his famous words, “To be, or not to be: that is the question” (Shakespeare III.i.56), Hamlet considers suicide as a way to remedy his troubles. As Ophelia enters, he begins criticizing her intention to marry as a way of breeding more sinners (Shakespeare III.i.121-122). Throughout the scene, Hamlet’s speech is filled with misery and self-hatred; however, Ophelia does not understand the reason for his melancholy, believing that he had gone mad (Shakespeare III.i.150). In some ways, this scene represents the conflict between Hamlet and the society he lives in, as no one is capable of understanding his concerns. Hamlet sees all the failures of society and is troubled by them, which leads him to feel misunderstood and alone. More about Hamlet What was the “moment of final suspense” in Hamlet? 5 1212 Which Theme in Hamlet is Reinforced by the Scene with the Gravediggers? 5 645 What does the first soliloquy reveal about Hamlet? 5 94 What words suggest that Claudius plans to control Hamlet? 5 118 What Incident Serves to Initiate the Conflict in Hamlet? 5 183 Which detail in Hamlet best reflects the time the play was written in? 5 161 His attempt to send Ophelia to the nunnery is desperate and irrational, but it also depicts his desire to change society. Ophelia, on the other hand, represents the society that is deaf to Hamlet’s urges for change. On the whole, the scene depicts the conflict between Hamlet and society, showing exactly how he differs from the people surrounding him.

Introduction The DSM-IV-TR defines a PTSD patient as an individual who has either witnessed or experienced a significant event(s) or trauma, serious injury, either to oneself or others, or one who has been faced with threatening near- death experience. The anxiety reaction of an individual with PTSD to trauma is different from the normal anxiety reaction that has the tendency to dissipate (Brodwin et al, 2009), as time goes by. In the case of PTSD, the patient still continues to experience intrusive, recurrent, and distressing recounts of the actual event in the form of nightmares or flashbacks. The presence of any cues within the immediate environment of such an individual, and which could resemble or symbolize an element of the actual traumatic experience has the potential to arouse in them profound psychological distress. For clients in need of rehabilitation counseling, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder still remains a leading anxiety disorder that they are more likely to experience. In recent years, PTSD has gained a lot of attention as a result of the high number of the Vietnamese War Veterans who have manifested the symptoms of the condition. Further attention to the disorder has been called following the recent combats in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The New England Journal of Medicine carried the report of a study that showed the prevalence of PTSD to be 9. 3% (Kolb, 1986, p. 642). For Marines and soldiers deployed to Iraq, and who had encountered between one and two combats. In addition, for these marines and soldiers who had encountered between there and five combats, the prevalence of PTSD was 12.7 %. Above five combats, the prevalence of PTSD was 19.3% (Lande, Marin & Ruzek, 2004). These statistics appear to somewhat match those released by a study undertaken on the marines and soldiers deployed to Afghanistan whereby the prevalence rates of 8.2 %, 8.3%, and 18.9% (Reeves, 2007, p. 183) , in that order, were recorded for the different categories of firefight experience. Other forms of PTSD Besides the veterans, individuals seeking for refugees’ status in the United States have also been seen to present with PTSD symptoms (Brodwin et al, 2009). For instance, a majority of the Americans of Southeast Asian descent were seen to have developed this disorder following their traumatic encounter with war and socio-political unrest back home, not to mention their traumatic experiences as refugees, on their way to the United States. Other than war experiences, individuals that have been afflicted with major violent crimes, serious and life threatening experiences, and personal trauma, are also more likely to experience PTSD as well. Further, PTSD may also come about due to upheavals of a large scale, normally affecting an entire region or community, including such natural disasters as hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods. In
Assignment Aries constellation It is believed that the Earth and other planets are constantly revolving around the Sun. Apparently, the Aries is considered among the constellations that are in the zodiac. Aries’ location is in the celestial hemisphere to the north. It is noted to be located between Pisces, which is on the west while Taurus is on the east. At noon, the sun is directly overhead on the Earth, which means that the Aries will be in the north direction. However, after six hours, the Sun will be blocking the Pisces’ constellation since it will be moving to the west. Saturn’s Seasons Just like the Earth, Saturn is a planet that also has seasons. However, there is a slight difference in the seasons that are experienced on the Saturn. As a matter of fact, this is a planet that is tilted by 27 degrees whereas the Earth is tilted by 23 degrees on its orbit. The tilt towards the Sun allows the planet to have a change in seasons. Consequentially, Saturn experiences a cyclical change of seasons due to the tilt towards the sun. It has four seasons just like the Earth. However, the seasons take a longer time, which is estimated to be 7 years. When each season takes an average of 7 years, it would take Saturn 29 years to revolve completely around the Sun. While on the Moon, is it possible to see the Sun rise and set? When on earth, it is possible to see the Moon change in the consecutive stages from first quarter to the full Moon. Apparently, when the Earth is on its orbit around the Earth, it maintains the same side facing the Earth. Therefore, when astronauts are on the Moon, they will be on the same position facing the Earth. Under such circumstances, astronauts on the Moon will notice the Sun rise and set. However, it will not be possible to see the Earth rise and set since it is directly overhead at all times. Children born when Jupiter is in constellation Taurus This is a phenomenon that is not likely. First, children born when Jupiter is in constellation Taurus will hardly notice any change in their life. Therefore, this will not affect their life or any career they would like to choose. Secondly, there are biological and social factors that are responsible for choices in life, including the choice to be a musician. Therefore, the position of Jupiter in constellation is one of the least influential factors that will drive children to be musicians. Apparently, aliens do not have any control on the Earth’s rotation and time. The Earth and other planets are in constant rotation and can never be stopped. Therefore, aliens will have little or no effect on time. Therefore, the paradox of experimenting on people without people noticing is not practical.

Currently patient information is recorded manually and stored in individual files. Every time a patient walks in, the receptionist manually searches the files which the doctor reviews and updates after meeting with the patient. After the patient leaves, the files are restored to their original position in the filing cabinet or rack. It is important to note that these numerous patient files do not have any backup and incase of a fire, all these files may be destroyed. Moreover, there are several patients who may have moved to different locations but their files are still retained in the clinic because clearing up these files is laborious and error prone. Dr. Axon Dendrite’s group is a medium sized hospital that is clearly calling for a change. There are four main functional areas that may need improvement or some kind of IT enhancement. Firstly, there is a need for software tools to effectively manage patient information. This will help to reduce errors, improve staff productivity, and increase data manageability. Secondly, there is a need to manage internal operations such as financial management, scheduling, and office automation (Austin, C.J. and Boxerman, S.B. (2008)). While this can be best ach
The main historical work of Garcilaso de la Vega, which to this day is considered one of the main sources on the history of the ancient empire – Los Comentarios Reales de Los Incas . From the point of the reliability of the facts, historians consider this work to be practically flawless. The writer presented his book to King Philip II, a distrustful and cruel man (Brading 3). If at least one inaccuracy was identified, the King would punish Garcilaso direly. However, there are several accusations against Garcilaso, the main one of which is a reproach for the author’s attempt to embellish his Inca relatives. Indeed, in The Commentaries , the state of the Incas appears as a kind of exemplary society in which all the forces and thoughts of generous rulers are directed to the well-being of their subjects. Nevertheless, the author did not aim to falsify the Inca history. Garcilaso stated that he transferred to the reader’s judgment only those legends and fairy tales that he heard from his relatives. Here, it seems vital to emphasize that Garcilaso tended to balance between the defense of both worlds – the Hispanic and Inca. Mostly, he advocated conquistadors’ principles and worldview through religion and the only God. “Almighty God, for the remedy of all his universal Church and final salvation proper to his real soul for long times God prosper. Amen” (Casas). Moreover, it seems reasonable to mention that in his other works, Garcilaso chose epithets that “assimilated Indians to European society, referring on occasion to ‘an Indian knight’” – the similar occurs in The Commentaries (Brading 5). Thus, from the ideological perspective, the author targeted to devastate the Incas’ image of savages without discrediting the Hispanic one. Finally, The Commentaries itself might be considered as a complex and sophisticated text. There are plenty of sentences that should be perceived as full-scale and broad passages – they contain more than 120 words. Then, the work provides many appeals to God and “Your Majesty,” which confuses the coherence of the narrative times (Casas). Garcilaso used a plethora of broad and significant metaphors, comparisons, and sequences when it came to the, deleverage of important thought and messages.

The media is a powerful institution that can disseminate information to a large group of people. It shapes individuals’ perception of the crime, morals, and what they consider right or wrong. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of how the media portrays crime and how it influences the public perceptions of crime. It also presents an in-depth discussion of racial hoaxes and their effects on the public’s understanding of the concepts of race and crime. Lastly, it elucidates the concept hate crime, its impacts, and its related benefits and harms. Media Portrayal of Crimes Although media is considered an essential platform for disseminating information, it can distort the frequency and severity of crimes by overrepresenting certain groups or cases in the media. News producers always make decisions on what events to report and how to convey them. The producers’ primary aim is to relay news in a manner that will invoke emotions or create a public sensation. The frequency and manner in which the media reports these stories will influence the public’s construction of the crime’s social reality. This culture of filtering information to create newsworthy articles can lead to misrepresentation in crime-related activities. The media can overrepresent certain groups, including people of color and males, as crime perpetrators, creating cultural stereotypes that reinforce the public’s hostility towards such groups. Multiple studies have demonstrated that Asians, Latinos, and Native Americans are seldom the television news’ subjects, while blacks are commonly portrayed as crime perpetrators and violent. According to Dixon (2017), white people are likely to be described as crime victims; this holds true for homicides and other crime types. Depending on the number of times crimes are reported, and how the news is relayed, viewers can identify patterns and form distorted realities of the crime. Crime depictions in the media rarely reflect the actual crime rate and seldom match the official crime statistics. When the public frequently sees these crimes, it influences their estimates of the real crimes’ frequency. Walter et al. (2017) revealed that the general public believes that violent crimes are more common in property crime when in the real sense, these crimes account for only ten percent of all crimes. Walter and associates attribute this misconception to the media constantly reporting on violent crimes instead of property crimes, which are far more common than violent crimes. Example of a Story Distorted by the Media Recently, a man gunned down eight people, six of whom were Asian Americans, in Atlanta. The media reported this attack as an anti-Asian hate crime even though they lacked evidence that the shooting was racially motivated. The Washington Post and The New York Times depicted it as an “anti-Asian white supremacist misogynist hate-based attack” (Wulfsohn, 2021). The media outlets were trying to push the narrative that white supremacists were fueling the anti-Asian hate attacks. In contrast, official reports show that the shooting was an isolated event, and the
The first type of test which is used in the hiring process is the personality test. It aims to identify whether the candidate will feel comfortable in this position and determine the possession of the behavioral traits which are necessary to gain success in this role. It is advised to tell candidates the purpose of the test and provide them with feedback. Personality tests are legal if they measure traits that are applicable to the position and do not include questions which concern race, religion, or gender issues (Scepura, 2020). For many organizations and employers, the personality test has proved to be a useful tool for identifying a suitable candidate. However, one of the disadvantages of this type of assessment may be a high cost associated with the administration. Skill tests have the purpose of evaluating job-related competencies, which can be both broad, like communication skills and narrow, like computer skills. Such tests reflect knowledge acquired during one’s education or career period and do not measure the basic aptitude of a candidate. This type of pre-employment checks may be highly effective in selecting potential employees as it shows how well a candidate is prepared for a particular position. Some researchers believe that the optimal number of questions in the test is eight or ten. They also recommend to include at least one question with multiple choice. The legitimacy of the test depends on whether it evaluates the skills which are relevant for the job. This type of test also demands a certain amount of money to administer it. Cognitive assessment, which is also known as CCAT, evaluates an individual’s capacity for critical thinking, make use of new information, and deal with problems. The purpose of CCAT is to determine how easily and quickly an employer can acquire new skills needed for a position. Some employers consider cognitive aptitude tests one of the best ways to predict a candidate’s job performance. It can be recommended to use this type of testing only if a candidate requires additional evaluation. However, employers should keep in mind that such tests can only be legal if they do not break pre-employment testing laws. It should also be noted that CCAT may be extremely costly.

It is in the nature of humans that they look for someone metaphysical and supernatural for the solution their problems and difficulties whenever they feel themselves unable to do the same. It is therefore the institution of religion came into being. Looking into the history of the world at large, it becomes evident that religion existed in all human societies from the most primitive to the most modern ones. “Humans have formed their own beliefs (called probability belief in mathematics and science) about the set of unknowable elements of the universe. They have branded their beliefs about the unknowable as religion.” (Acharya, 2006) Since religion is a highly diversified subject, different societies maintain different religious faiths and beliefs. Not only this that it varies from society to society and from one culture to the other, but also one single society contains the followers of different many religions in it. The religious cults, practices and festivals vary among the followers of different religions, though there are some similarities too. The main living religions include Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Confucianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and others. The concept of prayer and meditation exists in all the religions of the world. The idea of gods and goddesses prevailed in ancient Greece too, where the Greek worshipped different gods and sought their help in the hour of the need. Socrates, the great philosopher and intellectual, admitted that he had belief in gods during his trial in Athens, though he could not prove that he was a regular follower of the traditional teachings and due adoration attributed to the gods including Zeus, Apollo, Adonis, Athena and others. Socrates did never deny of not offering prayers and sacrifice on the same lines as the Athenians had been doing that time. “I have a benevolent habit of pouring out myself to everybody, and would even pay for a listener, and I am afraid that the Athenians may think me too talkative. Now if, as I was saying, they would only laugh at me, as you say that they laugh at you, the time might pass gaily enough in the court; but perhaps they may be in earnest, and then what the end will be you soothsayers only can predict.” (Euthyphro: 13) Similarly, the Romans also have sets of beliefs and prayed to their gods. The Olympic Games were also started to memorize their religious practices. The three Abrahamic religions i.e. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are the most prominent and influential ones among all and share many things among them. They are the monotheist religions and believe in one God. They are of the view that Almighty God has created man in His own image and blessed him with the superiority over all other creatures including the birds of the sky, the beasts of the forest and the fish of the water. He not only created man, but also introduced and developed a perfect scheme for his comprehensive guidance and spiritual uplift on permanent basis. The basic motive behind that all was to protect the children of Adam and Eve from the seduction of satanic forces. Satan is the central figure, basic symbol and supreme source of evil, iniquity and
