The Effects of Patients Death on Nurses Introduction The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the various effects of patient’s deaths on nurses. As members and individuals of health caring profession, nurses play a pivotal role in the care of the dying patients (Grandey, 2015). It is therefore significant to explore dying and death extensively from the viewpoint of individuals who care for the dying patients in order to make use of their experiences on the ground of deeper understanding of the entire process. Kondo and Nagata (2015) argued that nurses are mostly exposed to deaths and dying patients in the course of their duties. The experience that nurses gain while caring for the dying makes them to be very conscious of their own mortality and consequently leading to unease and anxiety (Miles, 2017). Individual nurses with strong anxiety concerning deaths may end up being less comfortable in their provision of nursing care for dying patients. Background of the Problem The death of patients as well as caring for them throughout their dying process may be very stressful and…

Research Proposal on Assessment and Management of Pressure Ulcer Pain among In America Statement of the Problem The primary purpose of the study will be to investigate the ways through which the nurses assess and manage the pain of their clients in Americans with hematology malignancy. These people are said to require an acute admission in the hospital to the Haematology unit in the City Of New York. The research will be highly focusing on the best ways that pain can be assessed based on age (Kozier, 1997). Different people of different ages have different interpretations of pain.

The standards have different levels of activity. This paper is a discussion of the three significant levels of nursing interventions based on a student’s diary of a medical trip. Primary prevention involves all the steps taken to void the onset of an infection. Based on the diary of the student, the best measures are to prevent the contamination of the wounds that the patients have (Coolbrandt et al, 2018). More clean water should be provided to clean the injuries as well as the doctors who handle the patients. In addition to that, clean bandages and wound dressing should be provided. The dressing should also be changed…
Effects of Incarceration and Punishments Summary Jacobs’ article explains several problems in criminal justice in the United States and how prisoner’s punishment mutilates liberal democratic legal order and civil society. According to him, these problems are more severe in the United States as compared to other countries. Overcriminalization, poor conditions in overcrowded prisons, lack of health resources and harsh sentences for multiple offences, are among the many problems of criminal justice. Excessive punishment renders the prisoners less able to reintegrate into civil society. Jacobs defines civil society as one where liberal democracy is practised and whose elements include leisure activities, economic activity, education, cultural and religious life, among others (2014). He adds that in civil society, there are laws and rules meant to protect the rights of people. Individuals are to required one another equally under the law. He further explains how imprisonment worsens the prisoners, demoralizing them and worsening their character, thus making them unfit for the civil society. Jacob adds that incarceration also hinders reinforcement and acquisition of civil disposition. Prisoners with the limited civil disposition and worsened…
Covid-19 Response Over the last three months, the world has been shocked by the spontaneous increase in the number of Covid-19 cases arising from the Corona Virus. However, the most shocking is the response of the United States towards the calamity (Judd, Zaslav and Diaz par 1). According to MedR, there is a thirty-five per cent continuous increase in the number of covid-19 cases in the US. Compared to this, there are only two thousand three hundred and forty-eight ICU beds (MedR 1). MedR predicts a twenty per cent increase in the need for ICU bed. There are only nine thousand ventilators compared to the needed thirty thousand. Despite this, the government does not seem eager to change these statistics by increasing ventilator production This situation s frustrating to health caregivers and service providers who understand the importance of the above equipment (Judd, Zaslav and Diaz par 1). Healthcare practitioners are at a crossroad of putting their lives to risk for humanity due to the negligence of the government or leaving work until the necessary equipment are available. Despite…
Critical thinking argument The Supreme Court recently heard a case in which a baker refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple on religious grounds. How is this different from the Kim Davis case? Do you think he has the right to refuse? (The Supreme Court decided for the baker on narrow grounds, leaving the more significant question unanswered.) The case a baker is slightly different from the case of Kim Davis even though they are both touching on the same-sex marriage, but we find that the baker was making his decision basing the argument on the culture of his private business. According to the baker, his religious beliefs, which might also have close ties to his private company, does not allow giving services to the same marriage. But in the case of Kim Davis, we find that she was holding public office, which does not provide room for discrimination. It is always out of law to base your decision on your religious beliefs, which is personal and private when working in the public office. “I am…
Critical Review of the Book ‘Understanding the Human Behavior and the Social Environment’ by Charles H. Zastrow, Karen K. Kirst and Sarah L. Hessenauer. On ‘a new view of age,’ old adults are not accepted as the age of less activity. Persons identified as mature adults are presented as more special than their younger counterparts. This position is tending to point out the younger olds as less required by societies. To hide the reality with age abilities, older adults on TV are often less portrayed as helpless and cranky and often as wise and respected. The truth is that this is not the true reflection of the general old adults. For example, in the text, it is presented that the older olds in Japan are a mark of social deferential; they are guaranteed better services (Charles H. Zastrow, 2019). The reality is that most of the old adults lose their intellectual instincts with the advanced age and that the unique treatments aim at recognizing their presence rather than reflecting their worth. ‘A new view of ageing’ overrules the tendency to…
DB5: On the Social and Moral Obligations of Businesses Every business, corporate or an SME has a moral obligation in its social perspectives based on a variety of moral and social obligations sources. There are three major sources of moral obligations: Business law, agreements (promise-based) and moral principles. These measures evolve from different aspects and require adaptive measures to establish social needs and ethical issues in need of addressing in the society of business operations. The concept of social and moral obligations, however, adopts different views mainly due to the changes in the global aspects and the variety of issues for consideration within it. In business practices, what perspectives should an organization draw its social responsibility principles to serve a compelling moral obligation? Many corporate organizations consider corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a guide to a practical moral obligation in society. However, there exists a difference in how the organizations perceive the concept, with some developing their CSR strategies as a marketing practice. Kimberlee (2019) establishes four types of CSR strategies that may meet the moral obligation of businesses as…
