Effective Communication And Patient Safety - 1813 Words

Effective Communication and Patient Safety Introduction Patients in acute care settings are often wholly dependent on the professional care nurses provide to them. Patient safety in intensive care units has long been a topic of interest and is dependent on many factors. Recently, patient safety and outcomes in relation to the staffing of registered nurses (RNs) have been topics of much research to identify how much impact staffing really has on patient outcomes. The overwhelming majority of studies conducted have found that the number of nursing staff providing care is strongly correlated with patient outcomes (Institute of Medicine, 2004). Patient Safety Event The Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) publication Keeping Patients Safe: Transforming the Work Environment of Nurses (2004) delineated a patient safety issue related to nurse staffing. A postanesthesia care unit (PACU) nurse caring for five patients received report telephonically for an admission from the emergency room (ER). The PACU nurse did not want to accept the patient immediately and requested additional time to stabilize her current patients and finish completing charting from a previous admission. The ER nurse said the ER was busy and she would have the patient in the PACU in five minutes before she hung up the phone. The PACU nurse notified her supervisor who agreed to â€Å"look around† for an additional nurse to help, but she advised the PACU nurse that if she refused this admission she would be written up.

Problems Associated With The Traffic Of Passenger Car Unit...

Traffic in developing countries like India is highly heterogeneous in nature, which is characterized by the presence of vehicles of different categories having varying physical and operational characteristics over a wider range. Due to heterogeneity, it is difficult to define various traffic parameters. Hence in such cases, traffic volume is expressed in terms of Passenger Car unit (PCU). In the present study, various methods to determine PCU is studied also the variation in PCU values has been determined at different geometric condition keeping the drivers charachterstic, vehicular characterstic and other parameters constant with only variation was in geometrics of road. This was achieved by studing the flow characterstic of same sample vehicle at different location. However at intersection, the values may change as the parameters vary at intersection as compared to a mid block section hence the PCU values at rotary intersection is found using the occupancy approach.

Gender Roles Essay Example For Students

Gender Roles Essay Gender RolesFor many years society has embraced the idea that the difference between men and women were biologically determined. Thou through traditions, media, and peers we act accordingly to how others view us. Each individual has pressure placed upon them based on their gender. Our sex is determined by genetics while our gender is programmed by social customs. Some theories interpret that a women is tender and a loving mother while on the other hand men are aggressive hunters and are the dominant one of the family. People who support this theory seems to believe that men and women are happier when fulfilling the roles nature determined for them. Women are to be nurturing and men are to be providers by nature. An individual gender role is molded through socialization. Individuals learn the ways, traditions, norms, and rules of getting along with others. A person environment has a big influence on the roles deemed accurately for men and women. Parents, media, teachers, and peers are important socializing agents for teaching the young their gender roles. Children are viewed through Gender-Colored glasses by their parents that focus on gender differences that do not exist. Meaning that a glass is clear and depending upon what you want to see through it is what you will see through it. Most children are raised with the belief that girls are pretty in pink and boys are rough and tough in blue.As infants grow older, their parents notions about gender stereotypes continue to influence how parents treat their children. Mothers and fathers tend to look at their baby girls as more fragile than their boys. There area several reasons for the differential treatment, but one can only assume that parents want their boys to be tough, and their daughters are to be neat and very lady like, in their behavior. Parents treating their infants differently are displaying socialization. Socialization is the process by which all people learn what is expected of them through their inte ractions with others. The household chores that are assigned by our parents are one way to shape a childs gender role for the future. In many households, boys do the taking out trash, mowing the grass, shoveling the snow, and what the parents feel like are manly duties. While girls, clean the house by doing the dishes, cooking, babysitting the younger siblings, and other stereotypic womanly duties. As individuals we define who we are in terms of our gender. Media also plays an important role in the socialization process for young and old people. In the Early days T.V. sitcoms portrayed women as housewives and men as the breadwinners (workforce). For example, Leave it to Beaver was a T.V. show were June Cleaver( the mother) stayed at home all times and never disciplined the children. Were as Ward Cleaver (the father) was the dominant one who worked and disciplined the children. Now, the sitcoms are completely different as far as the gender roles that each parent plays. For example, w hos the Boss were Angela was a successful businesswoman and provided for the family and Tony was the housekeeper. Commercials are another way that gender roles are displayed in society. When you see a car commercial for a mechanic most of the time the mechanic is a man. But when you see a commercial about cleaning products for the house normally a woman is the face you see. In other words, the media can help break the barriers on how gender roles are portrayed in society. The more that women represent strength on T.V. will also encourage them to build their self-confidence. However, not intending that traditional ways are bad, but the era has changed by who the individual is and not by their gender. .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3 , .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3 .postImageUrl , .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3 , .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3:hover , .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3:visited , .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3:active { border:0!important; } .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3:active , .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3 .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .ud9ad0a75d79c87637cdee68870f3f1d3:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: To Take Or Not To Take Essay A teacher is an important key element in the educational system as well as a role model. Some teachers hold traditional gender stereotypes about their students views of what is expected of them. Many children develop social skills while in school. A peer group is away for children to interact with others whom we share a similar status or similar values and behaviors.We as kids hang around with friends whom we can learn from as well as master the things we already know. By the time adolescence kicks in the friends are very strong influences in a young persons life. Most teenagers strive for more acceptance and approval from their friends than they do for that of their own families. Through friends children learn that others share problems, conflicts, and complex feelings, and this may be helpful for each individuals to express how they feel. One of the first impressions with adolescence is the similarity in dress and behavior. Young people generally dress to impress their friend. Inte raction that takes place at this time helps reinforce their conceptions of gender roles. Girls look at their mothers and assume that being a lady is wearing dresses to be femine. But on the hand boys usually like to wear comfortable clothes so they can get dirty and play rough. Many times boys feel that dress clothes is uncomfortable. The differential in roles on the basis of sex is probably the most determinant of social behavior. Students self-consciously see themselves and define their roles by their teachers expectations and behavior. Teachers treat genders differently. For instance, when girls need help the teacher often required that the girls come to them, which increased the girls dependency on adults. However, for boys teachers never required them to approach the teacher for assistance (Males/Females Roles 38). Furthermore, girls do not have problems with asking for help because they have been molded to rely on others, but men who are viewed as so superior will tend not to ask questions because they are to be inflexible and strong. One of the most important features of our lives is gender roles and norms. It is important because females were once looked at to have children and to get married in order to fulfill herself as a female. On the other hand, males should be aggressive and successful when needed in a situation, and be self-reliant and tough. These are extreme variations in male and female behav ing by species and often within species depending on their environment. In many cases teachers in the classrooms are women and being women they bound very well with the children. The patience and nurturing coming from a women teacher helps children develop what roles they are to uphold in society. Where many times male teachers do not come into effect until higher grades. Men are more structural and they provide necessary discipline that adolescence needs in their teenage years. By this a child can develop how he/she follows rules and regulations or how they unify with society. When a person learns how he/she should behave in society and accepts it, then they can be rewarded by positive approval, acceptance, and admiration. When one has a particular role he/she have certain privileges and obligations associated with that particular role. The roles of men and women and the social rules that dictate appropriate behavior for each are not shaped by biology itself. Determining that biolo gy only plays apart so much and also your environment. Productive work is shared by men and women now, but for women it is primarily defined in terms of their maternal and family role. For women who participate in productive activities beyond the housekeeping has tended to bring women a greater measure of equality, but the load gets heavier from them to carry job, household, and children. Lately the outlook has changed on women dedicated their lives to homemaking. Jobs were initially generated for men because they were strong. But now the barrier is being broken and socially accepted for who they are and not for the role they are to play in society. Words/ Pages : 1,376 / 24

Cahliel Osama Essays (320 words) - Racism In South Africa

Cahliel Osama Foreigners Need To Pack Their Bags And Leave Summary Xenophobia mean intense or irrational dislike or fear of people from other countries. People can get this fear from having physical,emotional,economic, and political bad experiences with foreigners. After the establishment of democratic governments in 1994 xenophobia in South Africa increased drastically, But it wasn't until 2000 that physical actions took place. The reason the riots started recently, in January, was because a foreigner (Somalian) murdered a South African tennager. It was not noted why he was murdered. The South Africans want the foreigners to leave. This is currently happening in South Africa, Durban. The foreigners are fighting back peacefully and are saying that we have no where else to go. Some foreigners built barricades around themselves and also said that we must fight back. The foreigners have done no aggressive acts towards the South Africans. The government responds to this by holding a peace march to commemorate the victims of the riots and the vic tims that was originally killed by foreigners. The government is also holding a meeting to see what they can do to prevent this from happening again. Connection To Theme I think that the rioting is senseless and dumb. The reason why I think this is because the foreigners that were killed had nothing to do with the initial act. They didn't have to go around killing random people. They also could have seeked justice and be satisfied without having more peoples lives taken. In class we learned about conflicts between people such as whites vs everyone else in South Africa. This relates to what we are leaning in class because its talking about two different groups of people fighting each other. In this case its races fighting rather than religions.

The African American Civil rights movement

The African American Civil rights movement Introduction Several major events took place in the United States and around the world during the 1960’s. The United States witnessed counter culture and social revolution that ended with abolishment of retrogressive laws that had established social taboos in the country (Beito Royster, 2009). Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on The African American Civil rights movement specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More In this paper I will discuss how my own life could have been different had it not been for the civil rights movements that happened in the 1960s. Secondly, I will show how the same event influenced my choice of career path, and finally, I will describe how the world could have been different had it not been for the civil rights movement. How life could have been different had not been for the civil rights movement The civil rights movement (commonly referred to as African American civil rights movements) describe s the social movements that took place in the United States to end discrimination against black people and restore their right to vote (Farber, 1994). The majority of the campaigns begun in 1955 and were characterized by civil disobedience. During the 1960s notable achievements were made including the passage of a Civil rights Act in 1964 that outlawed any form of discrimination towards people of a different â€Å"race, color or national origin in employment practices and public accommodations†; in 1965, the voting rights of African Americans were restored following the passage of the Voting Rights Act 1965; in the same year, the Immigration and Nationality Services Act of 1965 was enacted (Harrison Dye, 2008, p. 34). The act allowed immigrants from other regions of the world, other than the traditional Europe to enter the United States (Goluboff, 2007). In 1968, â€Å"the Fair Housing Act 1968 was enacted† to ensure that everyone had an equal opportunity to buy or r ent a house in the US (Harrison Dye, 2008). The achievements that were made following the civil rights movements inspired young people across the country and saw African Americans re-entering politics in the Southern States (Goluboff, 2007). My life could have been significantly different had it not been for these legislative achievements that followed the civil rights movement. The civil rights Act of 1964 basically banned segregation in the US. It gave all the Americans the right to be served equally in facilities that were open to the public including equal access to education (Harrison Dye, 2008).Advertising Looking for essay on african american? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More I honestly believe that the peace and cultural diversity that we currently enjoyed in the US is as a result of the legislative changes that followed the civil rights movement. Had it not been for this changes I could now be living in a segregated society that is full of mistrust, violence and other social ills. Notably, the civil rights movements did not only ensure equal rights for African Americans but also other minority groups such as Latinos and Asian Americans. In addition, the movements opened the eyes of the majority of the Americans thereby effectively transforming their attitudes. Had it not been for the civil rights movement I could now be part of a conservative society that basically trusts the government on everything. America could not be enjoying the role model status that it is currently accorded internationally. Through the schooling process I have acquired many friends from different racial backgrounds. The segregation that was predominant prior to the civil rights movement denied Americans the opportunity to freely mix with people from other races. This implies that had the situation remained the same then I could not be having the freedom to associate with people from other races. It’s sad to think that I or some of my friends could have been denied a chance to pursue our dream careers. Prior to the civil rights movements, Americans were not active people and frequently followed the government’s opinion (Farber, 1994). It’s important to note that following the civil rights movements many American citizens opened their eyes, changed their attitudes and begun to press for effective leadership. Everyone realized the need to pursue the American dream. Since then, Americans have played leading roles in determining the extent to which the government can indulge in international affairs. Not so long after the civil rights movements, Americans were already urging their government to withdraw troops from Vietnam. Others pieces of lSegislations that were enacted following the civil rights movements such as the Voting Rights Act 1965 and the Immigration and Nationality Services Act of 1965 have greatly influenced the American society (Beito Royster, 2009). African Americans have been politically active since the enactment of the voting rights Act 1965. Had it not been for the civil movements, I could now be part of a divided society where politics is an exclusive reserve for one race. I could never have lived to see a black president leading our country. The Immigration Act allowed immigrant from all over the world to come to America. This has led to a culturally rich and diverse society that is comparable to none. Therefore without the 1960s civil rights movements I could not be enjoying the benefits of cultural diversity such as foods and festivities.Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on The African American Civil rights movement specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More How the civil rights movements influenced my career path The events that were happening prior to the civil rights movement showed how human beings can subject fellow human beings to discrimination. Learning about such happenings gave me the desire to take a career path that can enable me to advocate for the rights of others, particularly those who are disadvantaged in the society. I realized that many of our citizens are involved in epic struggles and really need support from the society in order to make it through (Beito Royster, 2009). Therefore by selecting a course that offered me a chance to effectively contribute to the society through advocacy, I feel that it will be possible for me to live a fulfilling life that takes into account the needs of others. The harsh struggles that characterize the American history, including the liberation wars and the civil rights movement have validated my desire to take a course in social sciences and understand how the society functions and how I can be able to assist through advocacy. How the world would be had it not been for the civil rights movements The racial conflicts that were taking place in America prior to the civil rights movements wer e also being witnessed in many parts of the world. Several governments around the world were not keen to protect the rights of their minority citizens. For instance, majority of European nations had colonies in Africa where their representatives were subjecting Africans to exploitation and brutality. Other countries such as New Zealand and Australia had no formal laws to protect the rights of the indigenous minority citizens. It’s important to note that the United States had portrayed itself as the leader of the free world and yet many of its citizens were being subjected to severe racial discrimination. Back then, Europe was the only important continent to the US as far good foreign relations were concerned. Many communist states publicly lamented the hypocrisy portrayed by the United States. Thus the events that followed the civil rights movements validated the country’s portrayal as a model democracy that observed the rights of its citizens. The civil rights movem ent gave America the chance to appeal to many countries in the world without severing ties with its traditional allies in Europe.

Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More Since then, the US has been able to play a role in the democratization of many countries around the world (Harrison Dye, 2008). It has also been on the forefront in urging other countries to enact appropriate legislations that are needed to protect the rights of minority groups. The effects of the civil rights movements played a role in the development of good relationships between the US and other regions whose descendants were initially being racially abused in the US. These regions include South America, Africa and Asia. The good relations have in turn created a platform for globalization. Therefore without the laws that followed the civil rights movement globalization activities such as international trade could not have been developed to the current level. In addition, the US could not have gotten the voice to call for change in other countries, and thus most countries could still have been in chaotic states. Conclusion This paper sought to describe how the scenario could ha ve been without the civil rights movement. It has established that the freedom and diversity currently enjoyed by Americans today could have been a pipe dream. The paper has also shown how the civil rights influenced my career path by inspiring the desire to advocate for other people’s rights. The effects of the civil rights movements also played a role in globalization. References Beito, D., Royster, L. (2009). Black Maverick: T.R.M. Howards Fight for Civil Rights and Economic Power.
