Belinda’s claim for Negligence Belinda is faced with two case scenarios, one involving the accident caused by Mark’s car and negligence as a result of the doctor’s diagnosis. Medical malpractice happens when a doctor causes harm to a patient when he completely fails to perform his duties properly. The doctor has a duty to all her patients. The doctor is supposed to act diligently in his duties and prescribe proper medication or treatment to the patients. In this case scenario, it can be proved that the resultant amputation was as a result of the doctor’s negligence. Some of the medical malpractices by a doctor is the failure to do a thorough diagnosis, improper treatment, or failing to warn the patients of unforeseen risks. In this case scenario, if the doctor would have performed a proper diagnosis, the issue of amputation would not have arisen. For Belinda to sue the do, she must prove that the negligence actually caused the amputation or directly caused the injury. She must prove that the incompetence of the doctor resulted to the injury.

my video presentation to the class on breast assessment The purpose of the video presentation is to perform a breast assessment on a patient, which could be vital for any nursing student. This would be essential to them since its prevalence to females is evidently threatening, prompting the need to undertake regular assessments. Performing breast exams is part of professional nursing, and teaching nursing students about breast assessment is a proper preparation platform for their future professional practice. The study will enhance knowledge of the need for breast cancer assessment among women. The study is presented using a video presentation of three students, and it is also part of the learning process. The students use communication skills to gain consent from the patient, and they explain what they seek to assess from the patient. This is vital as the patient has to accept for the examination to start. Therefore, this essay seeks to address questions on my video presentation to the class on breast assessment, as discussed below. Background information The leading cancer killer in females is breast cancer. Cancer…
type of colors refracted from the original white light through a prism-based experience of the most significant directional change Abstract This experiment aimed to explain the type of colors refracted from the original white light through a prism-based experience of the most significant directional change. The test also aimed to identify and explain the orders of the refracted colors as well as the reversal effect of colors viewed in a typical double rainbow. The researcher worked with the hypothesis that violet should demonstrate the most substantial directional change due to having the shortest wavelength. Red, on the other hand, should depict the smallest shift in direction due to having the longest wavelength. Red and violet will be on the external parts of the entire spectrum and should, therefore, feature as the colors on the outermost part of the anticipated rainbow. These statements became real at the end of the experiment, whereas the location of the observer accounted for the reversal effect of colors viewed in a double rainbow. Introduction This experiment aimed to provide a detailed explanation of the concept…

There has been a lot of attention in determining the platform methods needed to improve new discoveries in eHealth and integration in organizations (Benedict and Schlieter 2017). Various eHealth platform projects are identified in Europe but there lack a systematic view of the platforms. Thus this article discusses all the existing and collected eHealth platforms and grouping them according to their functions, thus creating a functional group for the platforms. Evaluation of Article The article says that eHealth systems used in Europe have differences in their maturity and objectives but there exist a dominant function of the eHealth platforms used in the European countries. EHealth platforms help solve various problems such as the reducing number of healthcare professionals in rural areas, failures of the market used in eHealth business theories, and constant…
Annotated bibliography on Social Science and Historical Perspectives Eller, Jack David. Social Science and Historical Perspectives: Society, Science, and Ways of Knowing. Routledge, 2017. According to Eller, social science is an essential branch in education as it gives an individual a clear historical perspective of a society or a community. The author states that for an individual to understand the community or the society he or she lives or works in, it is essential to study their political, sociological, psychological, and economical history. The author explains that with a more profound knowledge of the community or society that an individual is dealing with, he or she can formulate and adapt techniques and methods that best serve his business or interaction with the society. Eller mentions that with the study of social science, one can know the type of people he or she is dealing with, their history and traditions hence approaching them in the best way possible. Eller advocates for more people to study social sciences as he believes when more people know how human society functions, then it promotes peace…

Look at the degree of the curling shingles and plan to change your roof. Missing Shingles If you notice some missing shingles on your roof, continue making repairs until…
Ambulatory Oncology Chair Utilisation in Australia Background Over the past decades, cancer has increasingly become one of the leading causes of death worldwide (Nagai & Kim, 2017). In 2018, cancer accounted for more than nine million deaths worldwide (Bray et al., 2018). Scientific evidence suggests that cancer is a group of severe health conditions that affect the quality of life across all human societies (Ko et al., 2014). It begins with genetic changes that lead to abnormal and uncontrollable growth of cells, which lead to the formation of a tumour. Usually, these tumours are either malignant or benign and can start in ant tissue or organ of the body. As the current burden of cancer continues to grow exponentially around the globe, research shows that lifestyle factors such as tobacco smoking and change in diet patterns, among other environmental factors are responsible for the development of cancer (Patel et al., 2018). Currently, health care systems have been strained this phenomenon, while communities have been experiencing emotional, physical, and financial strain. Cancer has been proven to be a significant factor in…
Black men and public space In US history, African-Americans have borne the brunt of well calculate prejudice and stereotyping emanating from collective labeling and perception that all of them are thugs. Such belief is deeply entrenched in American society to the extent that even law enforcement is not impartial but instead embarks on ethnic profiling of the black Americans in the community. Through the experience of Staples conveys a disturbing scenario that subjected the black people to humiliation, vulnerable, and condemned them to eternal suspicion and mistrust in American society. Owing to the deprivation and discrimination along the racial lines, the author notes that the African Americans got pushed to the periphery of oblivion, an aspect that prompted them to embark on crime to fend for themselves. However, the development meant that all the black men were labeled as thugs regardless of their education status or background. In the eyes of most of the white majority and the police enforcement, every black person remained a thug and a security threat until proved otherwise. Thus, associating the black man with a…
