Principles of Patient-Clinician Communication Many stakeholders and institutions in the health care sector have acknowledged communication to be vital to the welfare and safety of the patients. Enhanced care coordination necessitates healthcare providers to provide effective communication. Currently, medical errors and patient harm account for the largest share of the causes of ineffective communication. In this paper, the seven principles of patient and clinical communication will be defined. I will illuminate the applications of three of these principles within my interactions with my patients. Next, I will define the three methods used to enhance interdisciplinary communication and explore the one that best applies in my area of clinical practice. Ethical principles that are related to patient-clinician communication will be explored as well as the significance of patient safety and ethics in communication.

Sociological Analysis of Transgender restrooms Abstract The contemporary restroom’s history has been a history marked with consecutive social groups that have proposed the right to gain access to along with a toilet configuration mode fitting the desires and requirements of the various genders. Initially it was the women who commenced the potty politics, particularly the various women groups that fought for their own restrooms. The establishment of lavatories for women in various countries including the United States and the United Kingdom was marked with persistence meant to overcome resistance both the vestry and residents. In countries such as the United Kingdom, the restrooms for women were only build in 1905. At present, the issue of own restrooms for transgender persons has risen and this has been attributed to the lack of safety, gender-based segregations and the sense of non-conformity while using the lavatories. This has, in turn necessitated the need for unisex restrooms to enable the use of such restrooms by members of all genders thereby eliminating the discrimination and other negative vices that might affect those of different genders…
Transgender Inequality Transgender refers to people whose gender identity does not match the gender identity they were given at birth. Transgender people show their gender identities in many ways. Most transgender people adopt an individual style, which displays their real gender and they are comfortable with letting society know about it. Transgender people are different in revealing their gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientation. However, these people are facing discrimination due to their sexual orientation in society. Transgender inequality is the unequal treatment transgender people receive in society. Transgender people experience unequal treatment at work, school or in the society in general due to a misunderstanding of their gender by the public. Inequality has resulted in transgender people unable to access health care services. From the previous years, the creation of awareness about transgender has been developed to make people understand what it means to be transgender. Although awareness is increasing across learning institutions, society, and the nation at large, discrimination in access to medical attention is still an issue for transgender people (Whitehead,2017).

Unconventional Parenting Introduction Many aspects of the fundamental human lifestyle have been affected by modernization. Advances in medicine, telecommunication, language, and socialization seem to be affecting these fundamental processes of human growth. One of the most crucial processes that has been affected is parenting. Naturally, parents subscribe to a conventional protocol where birth is followed by inoculation, weaning follows the emergence of milk teeth, and education as well as learning are predetermined and structured. However, some parents seem to have designed a child-focused parenting protocol where the child’s choices come under consideration in their development process. This essay reviews the parenting advice two articles provide along the child-focused and conventional protocols. Off-grid Parenting The Daily Mail in the UK published the first article in November 2018. It depicts a couple in Brighton with three children who have chosen the off-grid system of parenting that is more child-focused (Corner, 2018). Instead of going to a medical center such a hospital to get advice and assistance with birth, the couple got all their children at home. They even allowed their children shed…

Introduction The “sun also rises” is a novel written by Ernest Hemingway in the year 1926 about a group of British and American expatriates who travel from Paris to the Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona to watch the running of the bulls and the bullfights.

At some point in the nurse’s career, they will come across a moral, ethical, or legal issue that must be resolved and at that point they will need to decide if it is in their best interests to make a stand or continue to roll with the punches.

Perspective Walking along the pathway, a farmer’s house is seen from a distance. Attention is, however, drawn by three large bulls that are bellowing either due to aggression or from hunger. The farmer’s boy, who is supposed to take the bulls to their feeding area, has stayed late, and the bulls have grown restless. However, the only obstacle between the bulls and their area of feeding is the little ropes tied on their legs and a feeble-looking fence that keeps them from moving away. When the boy comes home, the bulls are released, and the little boy leads them to their place of feeding. The farmer makes quit an inspiring confession. The bulls have been bred in the same house since they were calves. They were trained to be restrained by ropes from an age when they could not break the ropes. The fact that the ropes appeared strong at a young age when the bulls were weaker created a perception that the ropes are stronger than the bulls. Also, the bulls were always trained to follow the little…
