Better (2007), by Atul Gawande begins with the story of Dr.Gawande as a surgeon in his final year in medical school. The first struck me because of the patient’s story. It was an elderly patient who nearly died from septic shock had it not been for a senior resident who checked on the patient twice each time making a life altering intervention to prevent the patient with pneumonia from going septic shock from resistant, fulminant pneumonia. Dr.Gawande discusses the importance of handwashing. In my own practice, this is something that I can incorporate in my own practice.
For example, a nurse concerned about a rise in surgical site infection decides to critique how preoperative surgical site preparation, dressing
6) Checklists can actually save lives. Checklist also decreases deaths in hospitals. When checklists have been applied for use by surgical groups, deaths dropped 40 percent. Comparative results have been seen when checklists are required for specialist 's implanting central lines into their sick patients. The implantation of central lines can be a key source of infections and checklists have been appeared to incredibly diminish these infections.
The American Civil Liberties Union or better known as the ACLU has been around for almost a hundred years know. The ACLU derived from the National Civil Liberties Bureau which was co-founded in 1917 during the World War 1 by an attorney activist Crystal Eastman, and Roger Nash Baldwin. The focus of the CLB was on primarily anti-was speech, freedom of speech, and on supporting people who did not want to serve in World War 1. Now, during the time of November 1919 and January 1920 there were raids called the “Palmer Raids.” An attorney general by the name of Mitchell Palmer began rounding up and deporting people.
I was able to participate and watch the occupants of the nursing home participate in all three of those activities. The occupants have a range of diseases, but every time they were able to create something or play a game like bingo, smiles lit their faces. One instance that I will always remember was of one person who was under our care. She had a bad case of Alzheimer’s and always had a stoic look, but loved to play the piano. One day, another student rolled her to the piano and immediately she started playing it like a professional and she even had a tiny smile on her face.
The main discussion regarding these two articles concerns immigration reform and the action done under the Trump administration, specifically his action to suspend the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA in September of 2017. Both of these articles address the topic, although they both address the President’s decision in a different viewpoint than that of the other article. The author of “Is Ending DACA the Worst Decision Trump has made?,” Finnegan argues that ending DACA has led to personal turmoil, distress, and it will ultimately be bad for the future of the country as a whole due to the suspension of the program. In contrast to this, the author of “DACA is Unconstitutional, as Obama Admitted” Spakovsky states that the
In 1954 Congress supplanted that law with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, which surprisingly made the advancement of business atomic force conceivable. The demonstration doled out the AEC the elements of both empowering the utilization of atomic power and managing its security. The AEC's administrative projects looked to guarantee general wellbeing and security from the risks of atomic force without forcing over the top necessities that would hinder the development of the business. This was a troublesome objective to accomplish, particularly in another industry, and inside of a brief timeframe the AEC's projects blended extensive contention. An expanding number of pundits amid the 1960s charged that the AEC's regulations were inadequately thorough

Ignaz Semmelweis is known as the pioneer of antiseptic procedures being the first to introduce the role of hand hygiene in preventing person to person cross contamination. Semmelweis reduced mortality in the maternity ward to about 1% in 1861. Hospital acquired infections occur in 10% of US hospital patients and not only weighs on the mortality rate but also causes extra expenditure that can be quite substantial. While some nosocomial infections are harder to avoid, 10%-15% of these infections is said to be avoidable through proper hand hygiene. The question is no longer whether or not hand hygiene affects the rate of nosocomial infections but whether or not health care workers adequately adhere to hand hygiene practices, and if not, what has to be done to insure that they do.

For the people who aren’t sick we want to create a safe zone. This safe zone will consist of all the cleaning supplies in the world so that they don’t get sick and won’t have to blow their noses in class and distract other class members and get killed by the anti-tissue group. Another possible solution is to make anyone who

Volunteers will assist children to develop their cognitive abilities through creative methods using constructive materials, paints, clay and drawing. They will also help to keep the classroom clean, teach basic English and report on daily activities to local teachers. In addition to creative arts lessons, volunteers can spend time assisting the teachers in other subjects.
Imagine if the elderly men and women wanted to read or write and couldn't. Just think how elderly men and women would feel. They would be struggling to understand what they are interested in. I see that the problem in my program is that some of them are not going to going to go through it and quit. The problem with illiterate elders is that if some of the elders have Alzheimer’s.
