Problems that nursing face today and nurses' violence in the workplaceMahmoud Shaqria
This document discusses problems that nurses face today including issues related to compensation, staffing, work hours, workplace hazards, societal perceptions, and violence. Specifically, it notes that nurses deal with low salaries, understaffing, long shifts, exposure to infectious materials and chemicals, negative views of nursing as a profession in some cultures, and violence from patients at times. The document also defines violence and examines in more detail some of the challenges of compensation, staffing, work hours and their impacts on nurses' stress, health, work-life balance, and ability to provide safe patient care.
The document contains two pieces of information: a name, Andy Lee, and a location, China. In just two words, it identifies an individual named Andy Lee and indicates they have a connection to or are located in China. Overall, the document provides very limited identifying information about an individual named Andy Lee in relation to China.
O documento convoca atletas de vários clubes para um treino da seleção distrital de futebol masculino sub-14, a realizar no dia 12 de maio em Redondo. A lista inclui os nomes de 26 atletas de 10 clubes diferentes. Informa também que os clubes são responsáveis pelo transporte dos atletas e que faltas ou abandono das atividades das seleções distritais estão sujeitas a penalizações.
As our loved ones age, their desire to maintain independence and age in place remains strong. The concept of “aging in place” is not only emotionally fulfilling for seniors but also economically advantageous, as it often eliminates the need for expensive assisted living facilities. However, aging in place comes with its set of challenges, especially when it comes to ensuring the safety and well-being of seniors living alone. This is where personal alarm systems for seniors play a pivotal role in preserving their independence while providing peace of mind to both seniors and their families.

Trauma centers and adequate emergency response systems are crucial to effectively responding to mass casualty incidents and improving survival rates. However, current systems are often overwhelmed and unprepared for large-scale events. The document discusses several key challenges including the need for rapid triage, treatment, and transport of victims; surging hospital capacity beyond normal limits; and having contingency plans to support staff and special needs patients during prolonged disasters when resources are limited. Effective preparation is needed at both the trauma center and community level to maximize survival and recovery from mass casualty incidents.

Ambulance staff tend to be risk-averse in their practices, sometimes transporting patients to the hospital unnecessarily or using weaker painkillers to avoid potential side effects. However, avoiding certain interventions can also pose risks, such as transporting an unstable patient without stabilizing them first. Transporting agitated or uncooperative patients on stretchers using seatbelts to restrain them balances preventing falls with restricting breathing or breaking the law. Responding to cardiac arrests without ultrasound to determine cardiac activity could require transporting multiple people at high speeds, risking a crash. Ambulance staff generally do not provide certain medical procedures and technologies, limiting clinical decision making. It may be time to re-evaluate ambulance practices and determine
This document discusses several topics related to professionalism, ethics, and bioethics in healthcare. It defines ethics as moral principles that govern behavior. Bioethics applies ethical theories to issues in healthcare. Nursing ethics provides standards for nurses' professional conduct. The document outlines several key ethical principles like autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice. It also discusses concepts like informed consent, privacy, confidentiality, allocation of scarce resources, and the nurse's duty as a whistleblower.
This document discusses adult safeguarding procedures and case studies. It outlines the four stages of the safeguarding process: concern/pre-referral, enquiry, safeguarding plan and review, and closing the enquiry. Case studies address issues like elder domestic abuse, pressure ulcers, do not attempt resuscitation (DNAR) orders, and families' role in decision making. It emphasizes obtaining consent, supporting patients' desires and best interests, considering capacity, and consulting families as part of the safeguarding and medical decision process. Future changes include emailing instead of faxing safeguarding forms to adult social care.
The document provides guidance for residents on supervision from their attending physician. It outlines expectations for regular communication, including notifying the attending of any changes in a patient's status or location. The attending wants to be available to provide support and reassurance to call anytime, without fear of reprisal. The goal is to balance supervision with allowing the resident autonomy, while ensuring patient safety remains the top priority.
Increased Risk of Falls Everyone strives to feel safe aLizbethQuinonez813
This document discusses falls in older adults. It notes that falls are the primary cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries in older individuals. Frailty and limited physiologic reserve among the elderly lead to higher rates of morbidity and mortality from falls in those over 75. Falls can cause injuries like hip fractures and brain injuries. As a result of fear of falling, many older adults limit their activities and social engagements. The document discusses risk factors for falls like polypharmacy, antipsychotic drugs, visual deficits, and cognitive impairment. It provides nursing strategies to reduce falls like using call lights, alarms, slip-resistant footwear, and monitoring high-risk patients. Fall prevention is important for older adults to maintain quality of life and reduce
The document provides information on falls prevention for healthcare providers. It discusses an example of an elderly patient who fell in the hospital and later died from her injuries. It outlines four key elements of falls prevention: creating a safe environment, assessing patient risk, reducing identified risks, and evaluating interventions. It emphasizes that all staff, not just direct caregivers, have a role to play in falls prevention.

This document provides a lesson plan on safety precautions for senior citizens. It begins with background information on the increasing senior population and potential hazards they face at home. It then outlines objectives of the lesson, including defining safety precautions, understanding epidemiological data, identifying potential hazards, and explaining how to establish a safe home. The lesson further discusses safety products, medical alert systems, and the importance of safety precautions and home care for seniors. It concludes by describing symbols used to indicate hazards and their meanings to help educate seniors.
Here's a collection of some of my LinkedIn Posts on the Coronavirus Pandemic.
I don't claim to be an expert - but do try to think logically as a doctor, and use my common sense to reason !
The development of closed cultures in healthcare is not a new phenomenon. Closed cultures can occur in any industry, profession, or team because closed cultures are the product of several conditions that have been established.
Basic first aid involves providing minor emergency medical care to an injured person until professional help arrives. It includes techniques like CPR, stopping bleeding, splinting broken bones, and basic airway management. The goals of first aid are to prevent further harm, preserve life, and promote recovery from illness or injury. Healthcare refers to medical services provided by professionals and aims to prevent, treat, and manage illness through services from doctors, nurses and other medical professionals. Access to healthcare is important for everyone's well-being and survival.
Privacy and confidentiality of patient information is increasingly challenging in the digital era. A patient was photographed during delivery and the photo was posted online without consent. Advances in technology like smartphones allow easy sharing of private patient information. Healthcare professionals must respect patient privacy and only disclose information with prior agreement. Maintaining privacy requires vigilance as technology is used more in healthcare. Strict privacy policies and educating staff help protect patients' right to privacy and build trust in the healthcare system.
The document provides information for new students orienting at Redmond Regional Medical Center. It includes the mission and vision statements, which emphasize providing exceptional and compassionate healthcare. It also outlines the facility's values of excellence, compassion, accountability, respect and ethics. Additionally, it discusses ethics and compliance programs and policies, Georgia false claims laws, EMTALA regulations, medical ethics regarding end-of-life care, an animal visitation program, teamwork, ergonomic safety, eligibility for employee health services, and a commitment to employee safety.
This document discusses the importance of doctors answering services during emergencies or crises. Doctors answering services can ensure patients can still get help if a doctor's office is unavailable due to issues like power outages, phone problems, or natural disasters. They provide 24/7 support from knowledgeable staff and backup systems to direct calls to other locations if needed. This level of available support is important for patient care and safety, especially during emergencies, as it allows doctors to focus on treating patients while their answering service handles incoming calls.
This document proposes using wearable devices and Bluetooth beacons to track the location of dementia patients within senior living facilities. By creating a handshake between the wearable devices and strategically placed beacons, caregivers could monitor patients' real-time locations and receive alerts if a patient leaves a restricted area or removes their device. This system could reduce costly search operations when patients wander by 55-65%, saving an estimated $48 million for the company over three years. In addition to financial benefits, the system would provide peace of mind to caregivers and patients' families by allowing constant monitoring and faster emergency response.
Hearing loss is common among aging populations and can be caused by many factors. Treatment options are limited and can be very expensive without insurance coverage. The Affordable Care Act improved preventive care coverage through Medicare, including annual wellness visits. However, hearing aids and other hearing services are still not adequately covered. Improving access to affordable hearing healthcare could help catch hearing loss earlier and improve quality of life for many older adults.

Medical alert system – how largely is it beneficial for the patients and other concerned people
1. Medical alert system – How largely is it beneficial for the patients and other concerned
people
It is a well known fact that life is loaded with amazements; some are eminent and invited, while others are pulverizing and
undesirable. As a rule, most unwelcomed astonishments could have been counteracted had safety oriented measures been
taken. For seniors who face a health care crisis, encounter an incapacitating fall, slip in the shower, are stuck in nasty
climate, or even have a sudden gatecrasher soften up, will observe that a medicinal alert framework is the ideal
preliminary measure to keep a disaster. A health care alert framework goes about as a permanent nurse (a gifted
messenger) to seniors by giving inestimable confirmation and interminable genuine feelings of serenity.
How the system works
Let’s assume of having a caretaker that is a steady partner and can call for help if any conceivably perilous circumstance
emerges. This is the fundamental capacity of a medicinal alert framework. With the basic touch of a catch on a pendant or
wristband a senior will be immediately associated with an agreeable help focus delegate. Once joined, the exceedingly
prepared agent can call for crisis help, and also contact relatives, companions, or neighbors. After crisis responders have
been called, the assist guide with willing remain focused line and screen the circumstance until help arrives.
Health care alert frameworks are a development of a senior's security net. They are accessible when family and
companions can't be. Some may contend that a mobile phone can do notwithstanding, however numerous variables
separate a medical alert systems from a wireless. A wristband or pendant worn around the neck is a great deal less inclined
to be left on the table or overlooked in another room in light of the fact that it is joined to the body. On the off chance that
a senior were to trek and tumble down the stairs, or slip in the shower and physically not have the capacity to go after the
telephone, they can at present touch the catch on their health care alert framework and be joined with help.
