Today we will be discussing legal considerations dealing with professional boundaries and sexual misconduct in the workplace. We will examine in depth what sexual misconduct is, and how to prevent this from happening in our nursing practice. This presentation will also review the nurse practice act and its view on sexual misconduct. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines bioterrorism as "the deliberate release of viruses, bacteria, or other germs (agents) used to cause illness or death in people, animals, or plants” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2007, p. 1).
This presentation will cover the initiation, process and roles of agencies in Multnomah County, Oregon and their relationships with international, national and state agencies. The role of the public health department in relation to bioterrorism will also be explored.
Delegation in healthcare and nursing. Delegating a task does not mean that you have absolved yourself of the responsibility of that task. You are still the principal person in charge of the task and how well the job is done ultimately rests on you. This is why a delegation model is essential in the workplace.
This presentation will identify the key phases of a delegation model, and use that model in a case study based in the healthcare setting.
Self assessment presentation that crafts ones strengths and weaknesses into a perfect position. Hello everyone.

In creating the ideal leadership position, I will identify my leadership style, the strengths, weaknesses and capabilities; as well as contrast different leadership theories and how they apply to my personal style.
Care of Sickle Cell Disease Patients: Process Improvement & Change with NursesTosin Ola-Weissmann
Populations with SCD are at risk for disparities primarily because of the lack of knowledge on the part of the healthcare providers regarding the disease; inadequate pain management and prejudice among the staff (Tanabe & Myers, 2007).
On interviewing several nurses in the hospital, many acknowledge that they have never taken care of a patient with SCD and do not know what to assess for. The only nurse with experience of taking care of a SCD patient did not know the complications of the disease and wondered why sickle cell patients “always request pain medication when it’s obvious they are not in pain.”
This presentation is a guide providing essential information to medical professionals on dealing with patients that have sickle cell anemia. In addition, the SCD questionnaire is designed to enhance the assessment of SCD patients by medical professionals in the emergency room and serve as a platform for understanding their vulnerabilities during assessment.
Emphasis of this questionnaire is placed on identifying risk factors for depression, the patient’s socio-economic barriers, lifestyle habits, transportation issues, safe home environment, effective pain management and avenues for possible genetic counseling all of which sickle cell patients have shown vulnerability to (Dorsey & Murdaugh, 2003).
The term cultural competence consists of two words, culture and competence (Jirwe, Gerrish, & Emami, 2006). Culture is defined as the learned, shared and transmitted values, beliefs, norms and life practices of a particular group of people (Leininger & McFarland, 2002). Peoples' culture can be understood through their actions, that is, their behavioral patterns and through understanding why people act in the way they do; their functional patterns (Leininger & McFarland).
Culture can also be understood through an interpretation of one's world, through one's cognitive processes, or through a person's understanding of their world, which is linked to their symbolic interactions (Jirwe, Gerrish, & Emami, 2006). “Since cultural background greatly affects several aspects of people's lives, i.e. their beliefs, language, religion, family structure and body image, this must be considered when caring for people from other cultures” (Jirwe, Gerrish, & Emami, p. 12).
Cultural competence is a way of practicing one’s profession by being sensitive to the differences in cultures of one’s constituents and acting in a way that is respectful of the client’s values and traditions while performing those activities or procedures necessary for the client’s well-being (DeChesnay, 2008). It takes into account the cultural differences between the nurse and the patient, while meeting the needs of the patient.
We have chosen to deliberate on the Amish culture because due to their beliefs, lifestyle and isolation from the modern world, much mystery surrounds their culture and many nurses are unable to relate to their culture, understand it, or practice culturally competent care (Jirwe, Gerrish, & Emami, 2006, ).
Amish families have purposely separated themselves from the advancing modern society that surrounds them and refuse to depend on outside help in order to survive (Baker, 2007). This seems such a rebellious and alternative way of life that is hard for many people to understand (Baker).

Healthy Communities: Multnomah county is one of the 36 counties in the state of Oregon, located with Portland as its county seat. Portland is the second largest city in Oregon and the most populous metropolitan area in the state (U.S. Census Bureau [USCB], 2008, p. 1). As of 2007, Multnomah County's population is 681,454 people (Sperling, 2008). For the purpose of this study, the community focus will be primarily on the sector of Multnomah County in the 97212 area code, which will be called the Rose Sector.
Healthcare in the United States has become very fragmented, expensive and disjointed. Over the course of a hospitalization, a patient may be transferred from one unit to another, sometimes spending as much as 5 different units in a 3 day stay. This has led to many hand-off reports, and increased the potential for mistakes, improper communication, and patient deaths.
Partnership in this context is defined as a relationship between individuals or groups that is characterized by mutual cooperation and responsibility, as for the achievement of a specified goal (The American Heritage Dictionary, 2006). Partnership ensures that each member is equal and brings something important to the table. The Partnership Care Delivery Model (PCDM) ensures that the patient is an integral part of the healthcare team, and their experiences, contributions, advice, and influence is needed and valued.
Injury is the leading cause of death among children and adults up to age 44 and is the leading cause of potential life lost before age 65 (Healthy States, 2007, p. 3). In 200, more than 120,000 Americans of all ages died from injuries from motor vehicle crashes, suicide, falls, poisoning, drug overdoses, drowning, fires and other causes (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2006) while more than 20,000 persons in the United States die from drug overdose.
Because of its impact on the health of all Americans--young and old--preventing injury is a serious public health challenge. As recent tragedies shine the spotlight on accidental drug overdoses, it’s becoming increasingly clear that prescription drugs are playing an increasing role in accidental deaths (Kelley, 2009, p. 24).
Hello my name is Tosin Ola and this presentation will highlight the risk management issue of excessive absenteeism, focus on the methods to curtail absenteeism, steps already in place, the points system, and healthy living programs.
Absenteeism is the term generally used to refer to unscheduled employee absences from the workplace (U.S. Legal, 2008., p. 1). According to the U.S. Department of Labor, companies lose approximately 2.8 million workdays a year because of employee injuries and illnesses (Gale, 2003, p. 40). Of all the expenses related to absence, unscheduled time off has the biggest impact on productivity, profitability and morale (Gale, p. 40).
The inability to plan for such absences forces hospitals to hire last-minute temporary staff (travelers and per diem nurses) at higher rates, pay more overtime to permanent staff, or add a staffing margin to replace anticipated lost labor by utilizing in-house per diem employees (L. Meyer, personal communication, December 8, 2009). All these tactics negatively affect the bottom line of the hospital in every fiscal period.
