The first thing to assess upon entering the infant’s space is how she reacts to you, the nurse who is most likely a stranger. Does the child hide her face and cling to the parent? Is the child consolable and does she rely on a comfort item from home? Does the child calm once she sees the parent comfortably interact with the nurse as the nurse interviews the parent and notes any concerns they have at this interaction. Also make note of how the parent reacts to healthcare providers; notice any signs of neglect, abuse, signs on the child that do not have explanation or do not seem right. .

Lisys Camacho Florida National University September 2020 The development of Public Hygiene stopped during feudalism and began to resurface with the Industrial Revolution (xviii) with Raus, Ramazini and, above all, Johan Peter Frank. The latter is considered the "Father of Public Health" and established the medical police. At that time is when the State, in order to conserve the productive forces, takes greater part in controlling water and cleaning, also adding some aspects of the way of life, such as control of food and occupational diseases (Bush, 2018). The 19th century was one of great advances in medicine due to the appearance of medical equipment and the discoveries of bacteriology made by Pasteur in 1870 and Koch in 1882 (Bush, 2018). Together with the above and the appearance of social medicine, in the second half of this century, the development of public health is encouraged, expanding health measures by the States and beginning the development of health services, as happened in Russia in 1865 and in Germany in 1883 (Coovadia et al., 2009). In the first half of the 20th century, due to an awakening of interest in health, advances were made in this field and the ministries of public health emerged. In relation to the latter there is a historical fact of great importance when the first in the world was created in Cuba, as the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and later they emerged in Germany, England, France and others (Bush, 2018). At this time authors such as Sigerist, Rosen, Lee and Jones stand out and one of the first definitions of public health emerges, at least one of the best known, made by the North American Winslow in 1920, which due to its importance is reproduced below: "Public Health is the art of preventing diseases, prolonging life, promoting health and efficiency through the organized effort of the community for: environmental sanitation; Control of Communicable Diseases; education in personal Hygiene; organization of medical services and nursing for the early diagnosis and preventive treatment of diseases and the development of the social mechanism that ensures each one an adequate standard of living for the preservation of health; organizing these benefits so that each citizen is in conditions of their right natural to health and longevity” (Coovadia et al., 2009). Prevention marks the beginning of a new stage after the first epidemiological revolution, which increases with the second epidemiological revolution. Thus, public health continues to expand its field and its functions and integrates preventive care for people and that of the natural environment, the social environment, and also aspects of curative care (Coovadia et al., 2009). There is currently a broad consensus that public health has become an integrative .

Because the symptomatology is consistent with the presentation of the virus and the odd are also in favor of this assumption being that “is responsible for the majority of nonbacterial food-borne epidemic gastroenteritis in all age groups” (Grossman & Porth, 2014, p.1190). This virus is characterized for nausea, vomiting, watery diarrhea and it solves within one to three days. Given that the scenario occurs in a cruise, it can come from contaminated food or water and from contaminated surfaces or direct contact with the emissions of contaminated patients; the fact that the patients are in such closed quarters makes for easier transmission. b. Main concern with Norovirus is dehydration that results from the loss of fluids, given the age of the population, this concern is increased. The elderly population is particularly at risk for dehydration, hypovolemia and electrolyte imbalances that can result in arrhythmias.

The following is a true story - and it made national headlines several years ago. A Houston Texans football player and his wife got the call from a hospital in Dallas that his wife's mother (the football player's mother in law) was dying and only had a few minutes left to live. They hopped in the car and sped toward the hospital around midnight. Not many cars were on the road. As they were approaching the hospital, they ran a couple of red lights to get them there faster. A police officer saw this, and pulled them over as they were pulling into the hospital. The couple seeing the lights called ahead to the hospital to have a nurse meet them to substantiate their story that their mother was dying and only had a few minutes left. .

The following is a list of the major general ideas, ideals, and values of the Enlightenment found in Voltaire’s Candide , published in 1759. They are concepts as the Enlightenment philosophes understood them. 1. Freedom : especially freedom of thought, necessary for autonomy (“freedom from external control or influence; independence”), as Kant indicated in his definition of Enlightenment; 2. Humanism: a concern for humanity, what is uniquely human, and for solving human problems; 3. Cosmopolitanism: familiarity with different cultures obtained through travel; 4. Toleration; the practice of tolerating people who differ from you in their opinions, practices, religions, etc. 5. Secularism: worldliness; removing religion from explanations about how the world or aspects of it work; 6. Pagan self-reliance: relying on yourself to solve problems, instead of praying to your god or the gods to help you; 7. Empiricism: strictly speaking, “the theory that all knowledge is derived from sense-experience”; but it can also mean, as Voltaire used it, learning from experience; 8. For cultural relativism: ‘the idea that a person's beliefs, values, and practices should be understood based on that person's own culture, rather than be judged against the criteria of another”; in other words, it means being non-judgmental when one encounters people who display different practices or beliefs than those accepted as the norm in your culture; that is, you try to understand people who are different in terms of their culture, not yours. As such, it is the opposite of ethnocentrism , which constitutes being judgmental, as one evaluates “other cultures according to preconceptions originating in the standards and customs of one's own culture,” This can be a toughie, so here’s a clue from Candide : monkeys, and the difference between how Candide and Cacambo react when they see them. 9. Realism: “the attitude or practice of accepting a situation as it is and being prepared to deal with it accordingly.” Let’s see. Candide is subtitled Optimism , a stance that is represented by Pangloss; Martin, another character, is a pessimist in his outlook, the complete opposite of Pangloss. Which three characters represent realism? Bonus: What is the meaning of the famous last line of Candide ? “’All that is very well,’ answered Candide, ‘but let us cultivate our garden.’” What does Voltaire mean? Provide a brief explanation. Your assignment is to find a scene or a theme in Candide that illustrates concepts one through nine and explain briefly how it does. .

The following is a breakdown of the paper I need: Focus of the Final Paper The final assignment for the course is a Final Paper on two cases. The Final Paper should demonstrate understanding of the reading as well as the implications of new knowledge. The eight- to ten-page paper should integrate readings and course discussions into work and life experiences. It may include an explanation and examples from previous experiences as well as implications for future applications. Read the case study at the end of Chapter 15 and the case study at the end of Chapter 16, and thoroughly answer all the following questions. Supplement your answers with scholarly research using the Ashford Online Library. Each case study should be addressed in four to five pages, resulting in a combined Final Paper of eight to ten pages. Chapter 15 Case Study: The Realco Breadmaster Develop a master production schedule for the breadmaker. What do the projected ending inventory and available-to-promise numbers look like? Has Realco “overpromised”? In your view, should Realco update either the forecast or the production numbers? Comment on Jack’s approach to order promising. What are the advantages? The disadvantages? How would formal master scheduling improve this process? What organizational changes would be required? Following up on Question 2, which do you think is worse, refusing a customer’s order upfront because you don’t have the units available or accepting the order and then failing to deliver? What are the implications for master scheduling? Suppose Realco produces 20,000 breadmakers every week, rather than 40,000 every other week. According to the master schedule record, what impact would this have on average inventory levels? Chapter 16 Case Study: A Bumpy Road for Toyota Is Toyota’s focus on quality consistent with the Lean philosophy? Can a firm actually follow the Lean philosophy without having a strong quality focus? Explain. Who are the “coordinators” referred to in the article? What role have they played in educating Toyota’s workforce in promoting the TPS (Toyota Production System) philosophy? Why are they so hard to replicate? According to Hajime Oba, what is wrong with Detroit’s approach to Lean? Based on your understanding of American auto manufacturers, do you agree or disagree? There is an old saying “Haste makes Waste.” How does this apply to what is happening in the Georgetown plant? What is Toyota doing about it? Writing the Final Paper The Final Paper: Must be eight to ten double-spaced pages in length, in addition to the title page and reference page, and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

The following essay, found on health.com, was last updated on 24 March, 2020. It includes the following note: The information in this story is accurate as of press time. However, as the situation surrounding COVID-19 continues to evolve, it's possible that some data have changed since publication. While Health is trying to keep our stories as up-to-date as possible, we also encourage readers to stay informed on news and recommendations for their own communities by using the CDC, WHO, and their local public health department as resources. How Is Coronavirus Spread? Here's What You Should (and Shouldn't) Worry About by Jessica Migala With more than 46,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the United States (and more than 392,000 cases worldwide), it's clear that the novel coronavirus (aka COVID-19), along with the anxiety surrounding it, isn't going anywhere soon. Because the virus is so new (it's technically called SARS-CoV-2, FYI), lots of the fear surrounding COVID-19 stems from how little we know about it. Luckily, experts do know some pretty important things about the virus' transmission, or how the coronavirus does—and doesn't—spread. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID-19 is mainly spread from person-to-person, usually via close contact (within six feet). It can spread through physical contact like handshaking if someone's hands are contaminated with the virus. And it can also spread through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes (again, that's why the six-feet rule is handy: those droplets can travel that far, and land on another person's mouth or nose, and can even be inhaled). The virus may also spread from person-to-person through surfaces that have been touched by those infected. "A sneezing or coughing person will cover their mouth, get it all over their hand, and then touch something that you then touch," Robert Murphy, MD, an infectious disease expert at Northwestern University, tells health.com. “The virus can then gain entry into your body when you touch your own face,” he adds. That’s precisely why experts can only preach basic disease-prevention measures, like washing hands correctly (20 seconds with soap and water) and regularly, wiping down common surfaces, and staying away from sick people. Lastly, another possible way coronavirus can spread between people is via fecal transmission. According to recent research from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC), those with confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus (aka, COVID-19) have live virus in stool specimens, meaning there's a possible fecal-oral route for the virus, as well. Unfortunately, the only way to truly know if someone has COVID-19 is to test them; that's because the symptoms of the illness look extremely similar to that of the common cold or flu: cough, fever, and body aches. It's also important to know that.

The following case study presents issues related to the collateral proceedings in a criminal defense case. Case Study: Brook wanted to rob the First National Bank located in Newport Beach, Orange County, California. When Hurst found out about Brook’s plan, Hurst asked to join in too as long as no weapons were going to be used. Brook assured Hurst that no weapons would be used. During the robbery, Brook pulled out a gun and pointed it at a teller who was not cooperating in handing over the cash in the teller’s drawer. Hurst did not see Brook pull the gun on the teller. After they had left the bank and were driving away, Brook remarked to Hurst that bringing the gun was a great idea as it made the difference with the teller handing over the cash. Hurst said to Brook, “You said no guns, let me out of the car now.” Brook told Hurst that they were not going to stop anywhere until they were safely in Arizona. Brook and Hurst proceeded non-stop to Nogales, Arizona. Upon arrival in Nogales, Arizona, Brook and Hurst divided the money from the bank and went their separate ways. Hurst left and met a friend, Solana, but told Solana nothing about the bank robbery. The next day, Brook went across the border into Mexico. Based on a tip, the officers from the Nogales Police Department arrested Hurst and Solana booking both on suspicion of bank robbery. During the interrogation, Hurst told the Nogales police that Brook had fled to Mexico. Solana advised the Nogales police that he had nothing to do with the crime, but the Nogales police have refused to release Solana. The Nogales police advised Mexican authorities who promptly located Brook and arrested him. In a 1–2-page paper (excluding the title page and reference page), discuss the following questions, explaining your answers in detail by analyzing the facts presented and other factors you consider relevant; defining and explaining key legal terms and principles; and citing legal authority (your text and other legal authority) to support your conclusions.

The Chrysanthemums *[1938] Read the Biography John Steinbeck The high grey-flannel fog of winter closed off the Salinas Valley° from the sky and from all the rest of the world. On every side it sat like a lid on the mountains and made of the great valley a closed pot. On the broad, level land floor the gang plows bit deep and left the black earth shining like metal where the shares had cut. On the foothill ranches across the Salinas River, the yellow stubble fields seemed to be bathed in pale cold sunshine, but there was no sunshine in the valley now in December. The thick willow scrub along the river flamed with sharp and positive yellow leaves. It was a time of quiet and of waiting. The air was cold and tender. A light wind blew up from the southwest so that the farmers were mildly hopeful of a good rain before long; but fog and rain do not go together. Across the river, on Henry Allen's foothill ranch there was little work to be done, for the hay was cut and stored and the orchards were plowed up to receive the rain deeply when it should come. The cattle on the higher slopes were becoming shaggy and rough-coated. Elisa Allen, working in her flower garden, looked down across the yard and saw Henry, her husband, talking to two men in business suits. The three of them stood by the tractor shed, each man with one foot on the side of the little Fordson. They smoked cigarettes and studied the machine as they talked. 5Elisa watched them for a moment and then went back to her work. She was thirty-five. Her face was lean and strong and her eyes were as clear as water. Her figure looked blocked and heavy in her gardening costume, a man's black hat pulled low down over her eyes, clodhopper shoes, a figured print dress almost completely covered by a big corduroy apron with four big pockets to hold the snips, the trowel and scratcher, the seeds and the knife she worked with. She wore heavy leather gloves to protect her hands while she worked. She was cutting down the old year's chrysanthemum stalks with a pair of short and powerful scissors. She looked down toward the men by the tractor shed now and then. Her face was eager and mature and handsome; even her work with the scissors was over-eager, over-powerful. The chrysanthemum stems seemed too small and easy for her energy. She brushed a cloud of hair out of her eyes with the back of her glove, and left a smudge of earth on her cheek in doing it. Behind her stood the neat white farm house with red geraniums close-banked around it as high as the windows. It was a hard-swept looking little house with hard-polished windows, and a clean mud-mat on the front steps. Elisa cast another glance toward the tractor shed. The strangers were getting into their Ford coupe. She took off a glove an.
