Introduction Significantly, health care safety and well-being are key issues towards achieving a quality healthy population. The complexity of patient technology has been transforming. Before, nurses used to touch, smell, and hear about monitoring patients when caring for patients. With the current evolution of technology, various measures have been developed to enhance and improve health care services which have been of great success (Alotaibi and Federico, 2017). While technological changes elaborate both problems and solutions in enhancing patient safety, much must be done to overcome the issues. One of the devolved technological strategies involves Automated IV Pumps, a device used to administer medication. The introduction of Automated IV Pumps has led to both negative and positive impacts in the nursing profession based on the illustration. The necessity of providing quality health care is the level to which health services to populations increases the probability of meeting desired health care outcomes. Automated IV Pumps are one of the key technological advancements in health care which is a device designed to help nurses give the right dosage. Using Automated IV Pumps has improved the efficiency of service care, reduced errors and flexibility, which is believed to improve general patient safety. To a greater extent, safety measures such as following instructions, monitoring and dosage must be considered. The problem of the statement Despite the technological advancements in health care, 100% attained of patient safety is still an issue. The rising number of patient issues are increasing hence calling for more attention to carry out more research (Wei et al.,2021). Patient safety and care are the major concerns to all hence the study will evaluate the patient outcomes related to use of Automated IV Pumps to come up with the necessary measures. Alternatively, there is a little improvement of care services in nursing profession. However much the technological measures have improved the level of patient care, there are still issues about patient safety concerning the use of technological evolutions, such as they have Automated IV Pumps. Patient issues, such as medical errors, are one of the key obstacles which should be minimized to ensure safety and well being. Objectives of the study The study’s main objective will look at the major impacts of Automated IV Pumps in the nursing profession. Further, the study will achieve this by assessing the outcome of patients undergoing medications using Automated IV Pumps. Research question To determine the impacts of Automated IV Pumps in nursing profession. Justification of the study My study will aim at finding out both positive and negative impacts of Automated IV Pumps on patient care and safety to give the necessary support to use Automated IV Pumps in the nursing profession or not.

The topic of an individual’s experience has recently become the subject of close attention of scientists. Personal experience as a phenomenon is studied by researchers in various fields of activity: philosophy, history, psychology, sociology, and etc. The concept of a person’s personal experience has become fundamental in phenomenological philosophy. The founder of phenomenology was Husserl, and his understanding of experience formed the basis of sociological definitions of experience. According to the Cambridge dictionary, an experience is “the process of getting knowledge or skill from doing, seeing, or feeling things” (Cambridge dictionary, 2021). It a term that cannot be considered outside of history, culture, and social ties of an individual because that is what connects biography with history. Therefore, the basis of all other experiences in the phenomenology of the social world is communication. Only through correlation with each other can people become aware of themselves and enrich their experience by discovering the world around them. The modern interpretation of the concept of “experience” includes its determinism by the human society. Based on this position, two types of experience can be distinguished: the experience of humanity as a whole, as a result of its entire history, and the individual experience of a person, who, to one state or another, absorbed that of humanity. In conclusion, the way of learning and mastering the surrounding world by personal experience has become a significant part of all the evolutionary process. The sociological concept of the phenomenon and its multidimensional nature determines the existence of a number of areas of its use in sociological science. It is important to consider that a crucial component in the examination of the term “experience” is communication. This can be explained by the fact that only through social contact can people understand the processes of human nature and implement their knowledge into their daily lives.

Introduction A privately owned three-location retail sales establishment that specializes in automotive parts and accessories needs to upgrade its security levels within its businesses. As a security director, I have been tasked to develop a single all-inclusive security and loss prevention plan that will be applicable to all three stores. Such a plan is important in ensuring the safety of the establishments in terms of loss due to internal and external factors. As the paper reveals, this comprehensive security and loss prevention plan will cover in-house and outdoor elements such as loss prevention, applicant screening, and peripheral domestic threats, among other areas. As a security prevention officer, I will consider risk management significant in tackling risks and losses to assure profitability and property and personnel safety for the company. The paper suggests the need for the company to ensure it has a prudently managed safety policy, including a motivated and well-managed workforce. Below will be key considerations. The RLPP Development Process This risk and loss prevention plan (RLPP) will form a significant part of the overall business plan. The plan will specify the need for collaboration between the management and employees. The management will allow employees time to go through the plan outlining their responsibilities in preventing theft and loss and risk issues in the company. Local contractors and other interested groups will be approached to share their views, ideas, and contributions regarding the best practices during their involvement with the company. Afterward, the plan will allow for random visitations to any of the three establishments to ensure that unusual things do not take place at odd hours of the business. Finally, it will call for open forums with field employees concerning theft and security issues in various sectors of the company to identify potential problems. Security Policy The security plan worksheet will cover the outline of company procedures to be followed and a checklist for a preliminary security audit. The plan requires the hiring of security guard services to do monitoring of all business worksites. In addition, video surveillance systems will be installed. Besides having a list of employees who have access to sensitive areas, identification cards will be given to each employee, including visitors’ cards that will be issued to any guest who accesses the establishments. To guarantee fluent security, a good relationship with national law enforcement units will be encouraged. Hence, the officers will have occasional drive-bys patrol around the facility premises during off hours to identify any projects with risk issues. Disposable cameras will be availed to security guards to take photos of any unusual activity. Management of Inventory To increase the possibility of recovering any lost property, detailed equipment records will be made part of accounting functions and fleet management. The records will be readily avai
Introduction Alternative fuel vehicles are automobiles that do not rely on petroleum-derived fuels or partly depend on them. They may include hybrid electric vehicles, battery electrics, solar powered vehicles, dimethyl ether automobiles, biofuel, nitrogen and hydrogen-powered cars. Lotus rental should only consider these products if the demand for the fleet exceeds the costs incurred to buy and run them. Analysis Lotus car rental is a profit-making institution, and must consider the economic feasibility of introducing this product above everything else. The common reason for buying alternative fuel vehicles is to minimize one’s environmental impact. Lotus car rental must know whether there are enough people who value this principle. Since a market assessment of Lotus consumers has not been done, then publically available information on alternative fuel vehicles should be considered. Priceline.com carried out an analysis of customer’s willingness to rent alternative fuel vehicles from car rentals, and they found that 48% of them were willing to pay slightly more money for an alternative fuel vehicle. 72% of the participants in the research wanted to find more environmentally friendly and economic cars (Analysts carried out the study among 764 subjects). When pressed for more details on how far people would be willing to got to pursue their green objectives, 39% were comfortable with a three dollar extra charge. This represents slightly over 10% more
Neil Foley talks about the role of Mexican Americans in the history of the U.S. in Mexicans in the Making of America. The author gave his view of these events in the first chapter, “The Genesis of Mexican America,” where he presented the history of the appearance of Mexican Americans and the silent conflict between the two countries. The author’s central claim is that the American government created an image of lazy Mexican immigrants who cross the border to murder and sell illicit drugs; this stigmatization affected Mexican Americans, too (Foley 34). However, the truth was that white settlers from the southern states were illegal invaders in Texas in the 1830s because they refused to obey the country’s laws (Imery-Garcia 12). Discrimination against Mexican immigrants and citizens was rooted in the 1846-1848 war and the treaty’s approval, which included Texas and Mexican people living there into the U.S. territory and being denied their rights. It was interesting to learn from this chapter the viewpoint of many people in the United States about Mexico as a country of cruel and uneducated people. Indeed, it points to the erased memory of the Aztec Empire, the abolition of slavery in Mexico much earlier than in the U.S., and the annexation of Texas. The 1846-1848 war between the two countries was an unfair, violent act of the U.S. government towards a weaker neighbor, which suffered economic downfall at that time (Foley 24). The new legislation after the war gave people the choice of returning to Mexico or becoming U.S. citizens with formally equal rights that were not respected in reality (Gutiérrez 5). Therefore, most of them wanted to be viewed as Spanish Americans rather than people of Mexican descent to avoid stigmatization. I agree with the author’s final point that this historical event created not only a political border between two neighbors but caused subsequent misunderstandings in the relationships between the two nations. In summary, the first chapter in Foley’s Mexicans in the Making of America talks about the origin of Mexican Americans. Specifically, it analyzed the role of the war between Mexico and the U.S. for Texas’s territory in the future political climate between these countries. Overall, the annexation of Texas damaged the relations between them, resulting in the negative perception of Mexican immigrant workers and the desire of Mexican Americans to hide their ancestry.

The debate on whether drug addiction/abuse, illegal or otherwise, is an individual responsibility of societies’ responsibility has elicited heated arguments, in recent years. In his essay, “The Ethics of addiction”, Szasz (385) argues that the main contentious issue is whether drug abuse and /or addiction is a matter that needs to be addressed within the ethical theory domain, as opposed to viewing it as a medical approach. The definition provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) on drug addiction is that it is “a state of periodic or chronic intoxication detrimental to the individual and society, produced by the repeated consumption of a drug (natural or synthetic)” (qtd. in Szasz, 386). Since WHO’s definition is mainly concerned with the use of drugs that is regarded as detrimental to society, as such, the issue of drug abuse should essentially be a concern for ethicists, as opposed to physicians. The “improper” or ‘proper” use of drugs entails the application and consideration of moral principle and this is a further testament to the claim that indeed drug abuse or addiction is an ethical issue. In this case, the effects of drug addiction and drug use can be grouped into two classes: impact of drug use and/or abuse on an individual, and the impact of individual drug use and/or abuse on the society. A number of treatment advocates for the victims of drug abuse/addiction argue that the root causes of abuse and/or use of drugs is partially rooted in the prevailing social structures (Bertram 91). In the same breath, dealing with victims of drug abuse/addiction should also be the responsibility of the society. In this regard, the society is duty-bound to initiate educational reforms aimed at transforming drug addicts and those who abuse drugs into responsible citizens. Nonetheless, majority of the treatment and enforcement advocates are of the opinion that individuals are primarily responsible for resolving drug problems. In the case of enforcers, the goal is to punish individual users in a bid to dissuade them from partaking in the behavior. On the other hand, treatment supporters rely on therapy as a way of empowering individual users to abandon the habit. We might also argue that the reason why an individual has become addicted to drugs is because they lack the morals to care for themselves in a responsible manner, which is why they have opted to engage in drug addiction and/or abuse. Although a d
In today’s society, technology is an integral part of life. However, many people misuse it. Advancement in technology has improved the efficiency and effectiveness of operations. As a result, people have become overly dependent on technology. For example, students rarely research library books because they easily retrieve information from the internet using search engines such as Google and Yahoo. People need to learn how to use technology effectively to avoid its negative effects. First, people should refrain from using mobile phones when working, walking, eating, or doing any other activity. It is important because it enables individuals to focus and complete tasks without interruption. Secondly, it is important to create time for physical interaction with family and friends. People avoid overdependence on social networking sites for interaction and socialization. Third, technology should only be used to perform complex tasks. Easy tasks should not be completed using technological devices or gadgets because it promotes indolence and dependence on technology. Fourth, people should refrain from using mobile phones in restricted areas. For example, students should not carry mobile phones to classrooms or libraries. Fifth, it is important to get rest and engage in other activities other than operating technological gadgets. Many people spend a lot of time watching television, playing video games, and surfing the internet. Such habits encourage lifestyles that promote laziness and destructive habits among young people. Engaging in physical exercise has several health benefits. Sixth, it is important to make plans that determine activities to be done every hour. This prevents time wastage on activities reserved for a free time such as checking emails and playing video games. Overdependence on modern technology is harmful to physical, social, and psychological wellbeing. A schedule is important because it encourages proper use of time, which fosters discipline and creates a sense of responsibility.
Problem Identification Venus Inc. is a company located in the United States that deals with medical supplies. Having operated in the United States for 12 years, it hopes to expand its operations across the world. The company has four major departments including sales, marketing, supplying and manufacturing all of which work together to enhance the performance of the organization. The managing director, Kimberly Johnson, has been the manager of the company for the last seven years and has seen diminished growth of the company in terms of productivity and performance. Indeed, the company has recorded losses for the last three years. This has raised concerns for the stakeholders and Kimberly seeks to reverse the trend by enhancing a positive organizational behavior. Particularly, she has explored various reasons that could have led to the downtrend that the company experiences. At the outset, she notes that the organization has four incoherent departments. The sales department head, Ryan Kiste has steered his department to growth notwithstanding the poor performance exhibited by other departments. Nonetheless, he has always been at loggerheads with other departmental heads owing to his ability to inspire performance within his department. During management meeting with Kimberly, the differences among the managers remained apparent, as they have already created divisions among the employees. Kimberly realized that the problem is deep rooted in the organizational behavior of the company. She therefore seeks to see the solutions that the managers would present to respond to the diminishing performance. It also comes to light that the employees’ motivation has decreased and Ryan pinpoints that lack of a remuneration strategy could have been the major cause of divisions among both employees and managers. Organizational Level Analysis of Venus Inc Organization Culture Organizational culture of an organization refers to the prevalent practices are common within departments of a company (McKenna 2000, p. 56). It distinguishes the organization from other organizations and makes it unique. Normally, organizations use their culture as a competitive edge over their rivals. It fosters common beliefs and practices within an organization and cultivates a sense of the belongingness among the employees. According to McKenna (2000, p. 58), organizational culture is instrumental in ensuring that the practices and beliefs of people remain in line with the organization’s needs and ensures that a company is able to achieve its goals of maximizing on profits and revenues. To that end, all organizational practices and beliefs are synchronized in such a way that they reflect the organizations core values and vision (Black 2003, p. 71). For Venus Inc., the organizat
