The Joint Commission defines a sentinel event as follows: "A sentinel event is an unexpected occurrence involving death or serious physical or psychological injury, or the risk thereof. Serious injury specifically includes loss of limb or function. The phrase "or the risk thereof" includes any process variation for which a recurrence would carry a significant chance of a serious adverse outcome. Such events are called "sentinel" because they signal the need for immediate investigation and response." Study the following case, which involves a sentinel even. In a 1-page Word document, write your answer to the case study question that follows. (Any citations should be in APA format.) Johnny's Fatal Overdose After a visit to his pediatrician, two-year-old Johnny Solerno, who suffers from a chronic kidney condition, was admitted to Community Hospital for control of high blood pressure. While being treated at the hospital, Johnny received a massive overdose of a drug used to lower his blood pressure, resulting in deprivation of oxygen to the brain and permanent brain damage. The drug in question comes in adult strength only and must be diluted in the hospital pharmacy before syringes are prepared for pediatric use. The pharmacy technician labeled the drug as diluted, yet failed to dilute it. The supervising pharmacist did not catch the error, causing the child to receive an adult strength dose of the drug. Case Study Question What steps should Community Hospital take to prevent such a sentinel event from happening in the future? In your answer, follow the steps suggested by the Joint Commission in this article: Preventing Pediatric Medication Errors Explain how each of these steps can be effective in preventing this type of fatal error. Use APA format for any citations. .

A 53-year-old man experienced a seizure after taking 20mg of fluoxetine daily for 3 weeks to treat depression. He had no known risk factors for seizures. While fluoxetine is generally considered to have a low risk of seizures, there have been some reports of isolated cases of fluoxetine-induced seizures. The clinician concluded that fluoxetine was likely associated with the seizure in this case, as most potential risk factors were ruled out. Clinicians should be aware of the potential for fluoxetine and other antidepressants to lower seizure thresholds, especially in the first few weeks of treatment or at higher than normal doses.

Section 6.1The Extent of Medical Mistakes
Introduction
In this chapter we will analyze how ethical health care organizations address the serious
problem of medical mistakes. We will also take an in-depth look at some legal, regulatory,
political, and administrative solutions that may lessen the risk to patients while also protect-
ing organizations from legal liability. Throughout this chapter we will also explore the ethical
implications of this issue and how an awareness of the ultimate ends of health care can yield
practical solutions.
6.1 The Extent of Medical Mistakes
Until 1999, most Americans were unaware of the extent of medical errors in health care. That
year, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released the report “To Err Is Human: Building a Safer
Health System” (IOM, 1999). Based on a series of studies, “To Err Is Human” concluded that up
to 100,000 people die from preventable medical errors every year in the United States (IOM,
1999). The shocking statistic thoroughly shook the collective trust in American health care.
Another IOM report, published in 2001 and titled “Crossing the Quality Chasm,” furthered
the point that health risks to patients from health care providers due to preventable human
errors were much too high. (See Figure 6.1 for a comparison of the percentage of medical
errors made in various countries.)

Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) is a type of sympathetic hyperactivity that occurs after acute brain damage from events like traumatic brain injury, stroke, or meningitis. It results from the loss of inhibitory pathways from cortical areas to sympathetic centers in the brainstem. This leads to episodic increases in heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, temperature, and motor activity. Treatment involves resting in the intensive care unit and using medications like morphine or clonidine to reduce sympathetic nervous system stimulation and lower blood pressure and heart rate. One case example described episodes of fever, tachycardia, and hypertension in a man after a head injury that were successfully treated with clonidine.

An acute subdural hematoma is a brain injury involving the accumulation of blood between the dura and arachnoid layers covering the brain. It can occur suddenly after head trauma and progresses rapidly. Symptoms include headache, neurological deficits, pupillary abnormalities, and decreasing consciousness. Diagnosis is made using CT or MRI scans. Treatment focuses on controlling increased intracranial pressure through medications, oxygenation, head elevation, and fluid management. Nursing care prioritizes impaired gas exchange and risk for cerebral hypoperfusion, while also addressing ineffective coping related to the trauma. A strict regimen of medications like Phenytoin, Lorazepam, Propofol, and Furosemide is needed as supportive

The Psychological and Physical Side Effects of Pain Medications
Opioid medications have several psychological and physical side effects. They can cause gastrointestinal issues like constipation and nausea. They impair recovery from injury and surgery by delaying healing. Opioids also negatively impact cognition and can cause respiratory depression by blocking the carbon dioxide feedback loop that regulates breathing. Long term opioid use leads to hypogonadism and decreased sex hormone production. It may also cause a condition called opioid-induced hyperalgesia, where the body becomes more sensitive to pain. Opioids are especially risky for the elderly and increase their risks of falls, fractures, and death. Prolonged use can also lead to brain changes and cause tolerance and withdrawal symptoms.
Pediatric emergencies
1. The document discusses pediatric emergencies including injury risk factors, foreign body accidents, burns, near-drownings, and poisonings. It provides guidelines for rapidly assessing and stabilizing a pediatric patient's airway, breathing, circulation, and neurological status.
2. Fluid resuscitation guidelines are given for hemorrhagic shock in pediatric trauma. Control of external hemorrhage, cervical spine immobilization, and management of life-threatening chest injuries are also summarized.
3. Strategies for injury prevention include education, product design modifications, environmental changes, and applying Haddon's matrix to separate hazards and protect those at risk.
Epilepsy CME Kisumu 10th February 2015
Dr. Dilraj Singh Sokhi gave a presentation on epilepsy to trainees. He discussed causes like infections, head trauma, and neurocysticercosis. Seizures are classified as focal or generalized. Diagnosis involves a detailed history and physical exam. Treatment involves lifestyle management, medication like phenobarbital or phenytoin, and gradual dose adjustments. The goal is complete seizure control with as few side effects as possible.
Substance abuse power presentation
Substance abuse, also known as drug abuse, is a patterned use of a drug in which the user consumes the substance in amounts or with methods which are harmful to themselves or others, and is a form of the substance-related disorder.

The patient began vision therapy after suffering brain injury from choking. Initial prognosis was guarded. Goals were to improve fixation, tracking, visual attention, and eye movements. Activities using a spinning light target and body rolls showed positive responses, with improved fixation and attempted rolling. Activities using toys showed less response. Evaluation found impaired saccades and pursuits due to brain injury. Vision therapy is ongoing to improve function and quality of life.
Forensic psychiatry
Forensic psychiatry involves evaluating individuals for competency to stand trial and their mental state at the time of a crime. Forensic psychiatrists work with courts to assess competency and can provide opinions on whether mental illness affected the defendant's understanding of their actions. There are different standards that guide these evaluations, including the M'Naghten Rules, Durham Rule, and American Law Institute Test. Forensic nursing also has several specialties, such as sexual assault nurse examiners who provide care to victims and collect forensic evidence, forensic correctional nurses who work in jails and prisons, and forensic nurse death investigators who examine bodies and crime scenes to determine causes of death.

Approccio terapeutico al management del dolore neuropatico
This document provides information on the approach to managing neuropathic pain in patients with diabetes. It begins by defining neuropathic pain and distinguishing it from nociceptive pain. It describes the complex nature of neuropathic pain, which can involve damage to different nerve fiber types and various excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters. More importantly, the pathogenesis of nerve damage is often multifactorial and can include metabolic disturbances, oxidative stress, vascular insufficiencies, and autoimmune processes. The approach to patients involves understanding the underlying cause of their pain in order to use targeted therapies. Simply prescribing general pain medications is insufficient and does not address the disease process causing the pain. The case study illustrates the need for a holistic approach employing empathy, understanding and

Ian Brady's application to be transferred from Ashworth Hospital to prison was rejected after an 8-day hearing. The tribunal found that Brady continues to meet the criteria for detention under the Mental Health Act. Brady argued he has no detainable disorder and should be allowed to return to prison, where he has threatened to starve himself to death. Ashworth Hospital argued that Brady has both a personality disorder and a mental illness (schizophrenia), and that his care in the hospital effectively manages his condition. The tribunal did not provide detailed reasons for its decision but found that Brady should remain in the hospital rather than be transferred to prison.
Naloxone admin
The document summarizes updates made to the New York State EMS protocols and policies allowing for basic life support providers to administer intranasal naloxone to patients experiencing an opioid overdose. It discusses the growing problem of prescription opioid overdoses nationally and in New York. The policy change is intended to respond to this public health crisis and is informed by guidelines from organizations like SAMHSA on responding to opioid overdoses.
Substances of Abuse
1) Stimulants are substances that speed up physical and psychological functions by increasing activity in the brain's reward system. Common stimulants include cocaine and amphetamines.
2) Both cocaine and amphetamines inhibit the reuptake of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in the brain, resulting in feelings of euphoria and increased energy. However, cocaine blocks reuptake while amphetamines cause release of these neurotransmitters.
3) Chronic stimulant use can lead to psychosis, depression, medical complications affecting the heart, brain, and other organs due to restricted blood flow, and high relapse rates following withdrawal.
Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a chronic brain disorder that affects about 1% of the population. Symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized speech and behavior. It is believed to have genetic and environmental causes. Treatment involves antipsychotic medications, which help control symptoms by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain. Older antipsychotics controlled positive symptoms but had side effects, while newer atypical antipsychotics also help negative symptoms but can cause weight gain and metabolic issues. Patients require lifelong treatment and monitoring to help prevent relapses.

In general, reliabilities less than 0.60 are considered to be poor, those in the 0.70 range, acceptable, and those over 0.80 good. Thus, the internal consistency reliability of the measures used in this study can be considered to be acceptable for the job enrichment measure and good for the other measures.
It is important to note that all the negatively worded items in the questionnaire should first be reversed before the items are submitted for reliability tests. Unless all the items measuring a variable are in the same direction, the reliabilities obtained will be incorrect.
A sample of the result obtained for the Cronbach’s alpha test for job enrichment, together with instructions on how it is obtained, is shown in Output 11.3.
The reliability of the job enrichment measure is presented in the first table in Output 11.3. The second table provides an overview of the alphas if we take one of the items out of the measure. For instance, it is shown that if the first item (Jobchar1) is taken out, Cronbach’s alpha of the new three-item measure will be 0.577. This means that the alpha will go down if we take item 1 out of our measure. On the other hand, if we take out item 3, our alpha will go up and become 0.851. Note that, in this case, we would not take out item 3 for two reasons. First, our alpha is above 0.7 so we do not have to take any remedial actions. Second, if we took item 3 out, the validity of our measure would probably decrease. We did not include item 3 for nothing in the original measure!

The Psychological and Physical Side Effects of Pain Medications
Opioid medications have several psychological and physical side effects. They can cause gastrointestinal issues like constipation and nausea. They impair recovery from injury and surgery by delaying healing. Opioids also negatively impact cognition and can cause respiratory depression by blocking the carbon dioxide feedback loop that regulates breathing. Long term opioid use leads to hypogonadism and decreased sex hormone production. It may also cause a condition called opioid-induced hyperalgesia, where the body becomes more sensitive to pain. Opioids are especially risky for the elderly and increase their risks of falls, fractures, and death. Prolonged use can also lead to brain changes and cause tolerance and withdrawal symptoms.
Pediatric emergencies

Forensic psychiatry
Forensic psychiatry involves evaluating individuals for competency to stand trial and their mental state at the time of a crime. Forensic psychiatrists work with courts to assess competency and can provide opinions on whether mental illness affected the defendant's understanding of their actions. There are different standards that guide these evaluations, including the M'Naghten Rules, Durham Rule, and American Law Institute Test. Forensic nursing also has several specialties, such as sexual assault nurse examiners who provide care to victims and collect forensic evidence, forensic correctional nurses who work in jails and prisons, and forensic nurse death investigators who examine bodies and crime scenes to determine causes of death.

Approccio terapeutico al management del dolore neuropatico
This document provides information on the approach to managing neuropathic pain in patients with diabetes. It begins by defining neuropathic pain and distinguishing it from nociceptive pain. It describes the complex nature of neuropathic pain, which can involve damage to different nerve fiber types and various excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters. More importantly, the pathogenesis of nerve damage is often multifactorial and can include metabolic disturbances, oxidative stress, vascular insufficiencies, and autoimmune processes. The approach to patients involves understanding the underlying cause of their pain in order to use targeted therapies. Simply prescribing general pain medications is insufficient and does not address the disease process causing the pain. The case study illustrates the need for a holistic approach employing empathy, understanding and
Mental Health Newsletter 28 June 2013
Ian Brady's application to be transferred from Ashworth Hospital to prison was rejected after an 8-day hearing. The tribunal found that Brady continues to meet the criteria for detention under the Mental Health Act. Brady argued he has no detainable disorder and should be allowed to return to prison, where he has threatened to starve himself to death. Ashworth Hospital argued that Brady has both a personality disorder and a mental illness (schizophrenia), and that his care in the hospital effectively manages his condition. The tribunal did not provide detailed reasons for its decision but found that Brady should remain in the hospital rather than be transferred to prison.
Naloxone admin
The document summarizes updates made to the New York State EMS protocols and policies allowing for basic life support providers to administer intranasal naloxone to patients experiencing an opioid overdose. It discusses the growing problem of prescription opioid overdoses nationally and in New York. The policy change is intended to respond to this public health crisis and is informed by guidelines from organizations like SAMHSA on responding to opioid overdoses.
Substances of Abuse
1) Stimulants are substances that speed up physical and psychological functions by increasing activity in the brain's reward system. Common stimulants include cocaine and amphetamines.
2) Both cocaine and amphetamines inhibit the reuptake of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in the brain, resulting in feelings of euphoria and increased energy. However, cocaine blocks reuptake while amphetamines cause release of these neurotransmitters.
3) Chronic stimulant use can lead to psychosis, depression, medical complications affecting the heart, brain, and other organs due to restricted blood flow, and high relapse rates following withdrawal.
Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a chronic brain disorder that affects about 1% of the population. Symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized speech and behavior. It is believed to have genetic and environmental causes. Treatment involves antipsychotic medications, which help control symptoms by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain. Older antipsychotics controlled positive symptoms but had side effects, while newer atypical antipsychotics also help negative symptoms but can cause weight gain and metabolic issues. Patients require lifelong treatment and monitoring to help prevent relapses.

a. What is the difference between reliability and validity? Which is more important? Why?
b. What are the different ways of assessing reliability?
c. What are the different ways of assessing validity?
d. What are the different ways of obtaining validity evidence?
The analysis requires the additional components:
APA formatted paper including:
o Font: Times New Roman, 12 point, and double spaced.
o Margins: One inch margins, all around.
o Indents: One-half inch indent as to begin a paragraph.
o Proper APA citations and references.

o Proper use of Level 2 headings as to label the sections within the
main body
and
conclusions
.
o A proper title page.
o A reference page utilizing hanging indents and alphabetized by the last name of the first author.
Free of spelling errors and minimal use of passive voice.
Page 324
In general, reliabilities less than 0.60 are considered to be poor, those in the 0.70 range, acceptable, and those over 0.80 good. Thus, the internal consistency reliability of the measures used in this study can be considered to be acceptable for the job enrichment measure and good for the other measures.
It is important to note that all the negatively worded items in the questionnaire should first be reversed before the items are submitted for reliability tests. Unless all the items measuring a variable are in the same direction, the reliabilities obtained will be incorrect.
A sample of the result obtained for the Cronbach’s alpha test for job enrichment, together with instructions on how it is obtained, is shown in Output 11.3.
The reliability of the job enrichment measure is presented in the first table in Output 11.3. The second table provides an overview of the alphas if we take one of the items out of the measure. For instance, it is shown that if the first item (Jobchar1) is taken out, Cronbach’s alpha of the new three-item measure will be 0.577. This means that the alpha will go down if we take item 1 out of our measure. On the other hand, if we take out item 3, our alpha will go up and become 0.851. Note that, in this case, we would not take out item 3 for two reasons. First, our alpha is above 0.7 so we do not have to take any remedial actions. Second, if we took item 3 out, the validity of our measure would probably decrease. We did not include item 3 for nothing in the original measure!
If, however, our Cronbach’s alpha was too low (under 0.60) then we could use this table to find out which of the items would have to be removed from our measure to increase the interitem consistency. Note that, usually, taking out an item, although improving the reliability of our measure, affects the validity of our measure .

Formal Essay #3: Reporting Information/The Expository Essay
Expository writing is a staple of academic writing. Throughout your academic and professional career, you will be called on to write hundreds of expository articles, reports and essays. A thorough knowledge of this writing form will hold you in good stead all through your career.
What is Expository Writing?
‘Expository’ is a synonym of ‘explanatory’. An expository essay is a piece of writing that explains or informs. It should be based on fact and free of the writer’s prejudices. Opinion is often expressed, but only if it is backed by fact. For example, if someone asked you to write an essay on the causes of World War II, you would write about Germany’s losses in World War I, the Treaty of Versailles, the fall of the Weimar Republic, and the rise of Hitler led Nazism. In other words, everything would be based on verifiable fact.
The expository writing process centers on four activities:
Generate a rough idea or hypothesis.
Find evidence to back up this idea.
Expound on the idea.
Present an argument to back up the idea.
Thus, if you were to say that the Treaty of Versailles was the chief cause of World War II, you would first talk about the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles, the financial condition of Germany after WWI, the ineffectiveness of the Weimar Republic, and how they all led to the rise of Nazism.
Structurally, a piece of expository writing has the following components:
An
introduction
that introduces the central idea you will discuss in the essay.
The
main body
that presents evidence to back up the idea. This is the meat of the essay.
A
conclusion
that presents your idea again in the light of the evidence.
Thus, the central thrust of expository writing should be to build towards proving an argument, fact by fact, piece of evidence by piece of evidence. You will use expository writing a lot throughout your academic life. Most essays that you write in college will be expository in nature. Most writing that you will do in your professional life will involve a lot of expository content as well. In other words, sharpening up this skill will serve you well throughout your life.

After the civil war, the African American, Hispanics and minorities suffered great discrimination in the workplace in particular and life generally. Precisely during the 1960s these groups went through denial of employment or appropriate wages irrespective of their standard of education being higher than that of their majority counterparts. There was a great debate about discrimination on the basis of color, race, gender or religion. Over the years, some programs have been developed in order to handle or to try and e.

In other words, what is the way of thinking or belief system that lead to these characters' behaviors, and what does the film tell us about this way of thinking or belief system? And finally, does the film propose an alternative way of thinking or life narrative that might have proven more salutory for these characters in the end?

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

The Joint Commission defines a sentinel event as followsA se.docx
- 1. The Joint Commission defines a sentinel event as follows: "A sentinel event is an unexpected occurrence involving death or serious physical or psychological injury, or the risk thereof. Serious injury specifically includes loss of limb or function. The phrase "or the risk thereof" includes any process variation for which a recurrence would carry a significant chance of a serious adverse outcome. Such events are called "sentinel" because they signal the need for immediate investigation and response." Study the following case, which involves a sentinel even. In a 1-page Word document, write your answer to the case study question that follows. (Any citations should be in APA format.) Johnny's Fatal Overdose After a visit to his pediatrician, two-year-old Johnny Solerno, who suffers from a chronic kidney condition, was admitted to Community Hospital for control of high blood pressure. While being treated at the hospital, Johnny received a massive overdose of a drug used to lower his blood pressure, resulting in deprivation of oxygen to the brain and permanent brain damage. The drug in question comes in adult strength only and must be diluted in the hospital pharmacy before syringes are prepared for pediatric use. The pharmacy technician labeled the drug as diluted, yet failed to dilute it. The supervising pharmacist did not catch the error, causing the child to receive an adult strength dose of the drug. Case Study Question What steps should Community Hospital take to prevent such a sentinel event from happening in the future? In your answer, follow the steps suggested by the Joint Commission in this article: Preventing Pediatric Medication Errors
- 2. Explain how each of these steps can be effective in preventing this type of fatal error. Use APA format for any citations.
