Cyber Loafing Is cyberloafing good or bad? In the eyes of a manager, cyberloafing is a negative aspect for the company. However, I think cyberloafing is good for employees and the company at large. I believe cyberloafing helps to keep employees in check while at work. It serves as a good break and could help in increasing employee productivity. According to research, 55% of employees are usually bored while at work at 16% are usually actively disengaged. When there is hard work in the company, employees can use their phones or laptops for personal activities. I believe when one is ideal for some time, they end up getting more tired.  Therefore cyberloafingthis keeps them busy and reduces the chances of feeling tired of nothing. This way, when given work, the employees will maintain the same energy they had while working.  Therefore, cyberloafing acts as a counter mechanism for boredom at work and reduce the chances of employees developing counterproductive workplace behaviour. It reduces the impacts of work underload and boredom on employees which include job dissatisfaction and poor performance. Cyberloafing…

Community nursing Community nursing is population-based nursing care in which interpersonal relationships between nurses and communities are enhanced to provide primary health care services to communities. The theoretical basis for community nursing helps a nurse to understand the premise behind community-oriented care. The Florence Nightingale Environmental theory is of particular interest in community nursing. This theory focuses on how we can improve the environmental conditions to prevent and control diseases, and to promote the health of the community. Imogene king’s theory of goal attainment focuses on the Nurse-Patient partnership in facilitating family-centered care and achieving the best possible healthcare outcomes (Adib-Hajbaghery & Tahmouresi, 2018). Orem’s self-care model guides a community nurse to engage communities actively in regulating factors affecting their health and treatment performance (Borji, Otaghi, & Kazembeigi, 2017). Health systems are very vital in improving health. Advanced healthcare systems provide efficient responses to public health concerns, reduced burden of diseases, and health promotion in maintaining healthy populations. Such systems provide platforms for effective patient treatment and management to control diseases. A plan of care commonly outlines a patient’s need and how…

Personal and Supervisor’s Leadership Traits, Behaviors, and Styles Leadership and management involve distinct traits. In particular, leadership includes features that are not the same as those needed in management. However, the two roles require a person to exhibit important characteristics to be competent. Besides, a person may be a manager and a leader at the same time. Personal Vs. Supervisor’s Roles Reflecting on my current role in my workplace, I perform leadership responsibilities. According to Hiriyappa (2009), a leader usually focuses on aspects like interpersonal behavior and is keen on change, future, and development. Notably, I am concerned with such elements that leadership involves. Leadership is also an open position and includes the aspect of influence over others. Notably, nobody made me a leader but has come about because of the experience I have had over the years of influencing people to follow. Focusing on my supervisor, he has a managerial role. As a manager, the supervisor is involved in orderly structures every day, getting work done, and assessing the efficiency and outcomes of various tasks. Prominently, the supervisor reports…

Convincing the administration that the additional case managers are necessary  The case managers are essential to our organization, given the nature of the job and cases which they handle within the facility. Every day the correctional facility is bombarded with different situational claims from the offenders to be handled by the managers. The goal of this facility is to give full correctional services to the offenders who also originate from different backgrounds and by nature have distinct background upbringing. By adding two or more additional case managers, all the cases from the offenders will be given proper handling, which will reflect on the result. There is enough evidence within the facility that the presence of the case managers is useful to the daily operation of the correctional facility. The addition of the case managers will facilitate faster service delivery when the managers are conducting the assessments of the offenders who also require close attention. Basing our points on the needs and requirement which are found by the case managers during the assessment exercise, it is important to note that a…

Health Disparities among African Americans Assessment Health disparities among the African American community remain a crucial factor that exposes them to significant health issues such as increased certain health conditions, higher mortalities, and lower life expectancy. The ten leading health indicators in Healthy People 2020 identify racial health disparities as one of its national health objectives. The Office of Minority Health 2019 shows that African Americans adults approximately sixty percent more likely to suffer from diabetes and be diagnosed by a physician than white adults and links this to racial health. African Americans’ poor lifestyles, coupled with unequal health care access, resource availability, low socioeconomic status and lack of health literacy predisposes them to diabetes, which quickly exacerbates leading to comorbidities. The most appropriate nursing diagnosis of African American community is deficient knowledge of diabetes (its risk factors, pharmacological and non-pharmacological management, prevention, signs and symptoms, impacts and complications) related to unfamiliarity with diabetes and its management as evidenced by a show of concern and development of some avoidable complications. Diabetes may lead to neuropathy resulting in ulcer and amputation,…

Annotated Bibliography on assumption and stereotypes used in medical psychiatric purposes Aggarwal, Neil Krishan. “Medical Orientalism and the War on Terror: Depictions of Arabs and Muslims in the Psychodynamic Literature post-9/11.” Journal of Muslim Mental Health, vol. 6, no. 1, 2011, doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3998/jmmh.10381607.0006.102 In this research, the researcher examines the assumption and stereotypes used in medical psychiatric purposes. According to the research, Edward Said’s concept of orientalism is situated within medicine as a hermeneutic for cultural critique (Aggarwal). The paper therefore aims at understanding the psychodynamic factors surrounding suicide bombers and the perceived connection to the Islamic religion. The paper makes a direction connection between medicine and the perception of the Islamic religion in a manner otherwise never used before. The examination of the implications of psychiatric orientalism in medical context against the Muslims is important enables the elimination of prejudice in mental health service provision. The research answers previously ignored questions in the mental health of Muslims in connection to association with terrorism. Medical outcomes heavily depend on health services providers. The research will assist my essay in understanding…

Climatic and environmental changes Reading 1 Climatic and environmental changes caused by man or natural, affect the prevalence of certain diseases. For instance, dam construction or temperature rise can increase malaria occurrence. It is crucial to understand how illnesses are affected by ecology, and their transmission path, to know how to prevent or slow their spread. Diagnosis, prevention and treatment of illnesses may be hindered by invisible barriers like inadequacy of knowledge and medical infrastructure. These barriers are part of the reasons why mental wellness has, for long, failed to be treated as a health concern. Psychiatric facilities should be put up to help deal with psychological issues, and social barriers removed so people can seek help without being stigmatized. The physical, cultural and social environment are all connected and could affect the well-being of a person. Thus, medical practitioners should take them into account before making a diagnosis, cure and implementing preventive measures. Reading 2 Good health and wholeness vary depending on one’s culture. Before adopting Christianity and Islam, the African society had an indigenous religion, culture and practices…

DENTAL INSURANCE: WHY IT IS WORTH YOUR DOUGH In this millennium, medical insurance seems like a no-brainer. Exhaustive medical coverage can indeed save you thousands of bucks in the short and long run. Let’s shift gears to dental coverage, and the trend has more or less been the same. Dental health insurance can be an excellent addition to your health insurance coverage. You’ll have a deductible before your coverage gets activated, which means that your insurance provider will cater to 20%-80% of your dental bills. However, the million-dollar question remains; do people need dental insurance?   Why do you need dental insurance? We all want to take great care of our teeth. It makes perfect financial sense to get your dental treatment fees subsidized or free through the NHS. If you can’t visit an NHS doctor here in Ireland, or you need an expensive dental procedure, dental coverage may be the way to go. NHS dental treatment typically costs around half of private dental care. If you require a root canal, an implant, or a crown, individual dentists will charge…
