In the modern era science has been associated with nursing. Postmodern relativism closely related to medicine and very confusing western medication is based on science. This is where the nurses get trained so that they can know the current patient status (Shelly& Miller, 2009) As there were missionary activities all over the world nursing has had a root in the Christian worldview.

It’s through the language usage that we are able to communicate or miscommunicate. So, we must be careful about how we speak it out. Sometimes it can be frustrating to express our most intimate thoughts especially to make the audience understand. In order to avoid some of the communication obstacles, some of the language usage trends we should avoid include: clichés, jargons, slangs, sexist and racist language, euphemisms and doublespeak. These are discussed as follows: A cliché’ is a saying that is overused in a culture to the point of losing its original meaning.

Health Inequalities Faced by Rural Communities Introduction People residing in remote and rural regions face difficulties in accessing proper health services, many of which struggle to recruit and retain workers. Whereas researchers have highlighted these issues in Australia and across the world, rural health remains reactive to the present issues and lacks a profound understanding. The following paper presents a multitude of issues that can be used to illustrate certain remote and rural health inequalities in Australia better. Literature Review Australia is typically described as a successful nation yet studies indicate that many Australians are at a disadvantage and have poor health. Some scholars argue that individuals who live in remote and rural regions in the nation have poorer life opportunities in comparison to their counterparts in urban regions and that health status reduces with increasing remoteness (Wakerman et al., 2008). The Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission revealed that the health of people living in remote and rural regions of Australia is poorer than those living in metropolitan areas and cities. Illness and mortality rates go up as the…

This interest of mine has ignited a wish to begin a reputed career in a professional environment and deliver nothing, but excellence In 2013 I earned my bachelor’s degree in architecture.

I worked on to make my designs an amalgamation of the cost-effective, sustainable, and functional approach. After completing my undergraduate study, I…
