Abstract
This paper addresses the cognitive abilities that enhance hand hygiene acquiescence while backing the inhibition of healthcare associated to the contagions and how they have been widely acknowledged. It is also acknowledged that great hand cleanliness alone cannot impress difficult risk influences, such as elder age, immune-suppression, entrance fee to the serious care part, a lengthier span of stay, and indwelling strategies. The participants used in this study were selected from were randomly selected from public places through observation of their actions and how they took care of their hands especially before eating, after eating and also engaging in hand cleanness in public places. The main methods used for the research are qualitative studies through the use of observation models. In sum, it was found that hand sanitation involvements are concomitantly assumed with other monotonous or superior preventive approaches, there are a probable for these simultaneous policies to confuse the result of the hand sanitation package. Therefore, the direct comment of hand cleanliness likelihoods and movements; microelectronic nursing of hand hygiene actions and valuation of liquor created hand rub ingesting strength also be used as accidental methods and supernumerary indicators. In addition to these studies specifically focused on hand hygiene treatments, hand hygiene was in the center of numerous studies applying broader transmission control treatments and demonstrating the effect on healthcare-associated infection rates. So, hand hygiene is the fundamental part of proper recommendations for the prevention of the most common healthcare-associated infections.
Keywords: hand hygiene, hand sanitation, qualitative studies
Significance and Background of the Study
The study is significant because it will have an impact on improving the healthcare and also the welfare of the poor populations in terms of improving their health. Therefore, those with previous illness situations anxiety that they might lose assurance attention if they modification occupations. Central income person terror that decrease insurance welfares might energy them to recompense extra and more of the prices of health care, accumulative their unwillingness to search for maintenance when they necessity it. Urged in portion by the misconduct assurance crisis, obstetrical amenities are described to be in small source in certain areas. Inhabitants of this nation's rural zones are aggressive a hard fight to save hospitals exposed so that, at a smallest, they consume admission to alternative facilities and vital main care. To evade consuming to admit extra room patients who might not have assurance, mounting numbers of clinics have stopped offering crisis amenities.

A.1 Healthcare problem
Worldwide estimates have shown that greater than 1.4 million patients have acquired nosocomial infections. Adherence to hand hygiene policies are shown to be the most effective way to help prevent these healthcare-associated infections; sadly research shows that healthcare workers have suboptimal compliance with their facilities hand hygiene policies due to lack of education and compliance monitoring. Patients in our healthcare settings are under the assumption that we are doing our best to promote their healing when in fact 7% of them will be subjected to a nosocomial infection with that rate climbing to 10% in developing countries (Finco et al., 2018).
A.2 Significance of the problem
The cost of care that is associated with nosocomial infections is estimated to be over ten billion dollars putting a burden on both patients and health organizations alike. It is estimated that 38% of all infections are caused by cross-contamination due to noncompliance with hand hygiene policies. These infections lead to approximately 99,000 deaths a year in the United States alone (Sickbert-Bennett et al., 2016).
A.3 Current healthcare practices related to the problem
Most healthcare facilities have an educational program that simply teaches how to achieve proper hand hygiene and use the WHO five moments of hand hygiene as their standard. However, this does not educate the healthcare workers on why it is important, nor does it address the far-reaching consequences for noncompliance. Along with the lack of foundational education, most facilities do not monitor for compliance.
A.4 How the problem affects the organization and patients’ cultural background
Inadequate hand hygiene leading to nosocomial infections can affect the organization's cultural background by leading to dissatisfaction in the workplace as staff becomes frustrated by their feelings of inadequacy and helplessness in dealing with patients getting sicker instead of better. The staff may also be feeling stress in the burden of caring for sicker patients. The patient's cultural background may be affected as they may be feeling despair or depression at their inability to get better, and some may feel it is punishment according to their cultural or religious beliefs.

NSG5000 S03 Role of the Advanced Practice Nurse
Faculty Esposito
I was admitted to South University to become Nurse Practitioner specialized in family practice. The role of Nurse Practitioner family practice is purely of clinical nature. It is mainly based on acquiring a sufficient or formal degree of knowledge and skills to do a task effectively, safely, and with competency. It is imperative for Nurse Practitioners to demonstrate that they are qualified with special attributes, skills, and knowledge to be able to deal with medical issues pertaining to disease and death, a situation traditionally carried out by physicians. Through the demonstration of these attributes, Nurse Practitioners elevate and separate them from the traditional nursing role, giving the opportunity to the physicians to corroborate their value in medicine, convincing them, the patients, and their families that Nurse Practitioners are trustworthy enough to carry out the patients’ clinical management at an advanced level.

The authors of this article use a qualitative approach as a design to examine the role of nurse practitioners (NPs) as educators of family medicine residents in order to better understand the interprofessional dynamics in a clinical teaching setting in an urban area in southern Ontario, Canada.
In order to develop this research, first year (8 of 9) and second year (9 of 10) family medicine residents were used as participants and utilized audiotaped and transcribed semistructured interviews.
They were able to identify several points that served as the base for their study. These points included role clarification, professional identity formation, factors that enhance the educational role of NPs, and factors that limit the educational role of NPs. The function of NPs were recognized by the majority of the residents, but they were not sure about the NPs scope of practice. In fact, they responded differently to teaching by NPs. First year residents believed that nurse practitioner offer a better approach when teaching and they perceive a decreased sense of susceptibility when being taught by NPs. On the other hand, second year residents preferred being taught from physician teachers alleging that they needed to think like physicians. This created some discomfort among senior residents and did not appreciate the role of nurse practitioners in providing supervision of the day-to-day care of patients. It was evident the lack of an intentional orientation of the family medicine residents regarding the scope of practice of nurse practitioners ...

PRACTICE OF FIVE MOMENTS OF HAND HYGIENE AMONGTHE NURSES IN SELECTED HOSPITAL...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT :A Quantitative Research approach with a Cross sectional descriptive survey design was used in
the study. 100 Nurses from Thumbay University Hospital, Ajman, UAE who met the sampling criteria were
selected. Written consent was taken. A structured questionnaire to elicit the demographic profile, as well as a
modified Self-reported hand hygiene practice scale, was used online to assess the practice of five moments of
hand hygiene.The majority of the nurses 94-99 % of them had moderate to adequate hand hygiene practice
during the five moments of hand hygiene of which 99% before touching the patients, 95 % before carrying out
clean and aseptic procedures, and after body fluid exposure, 96 % after touching patient unit and 94 % after
touching patient surroundings. Overall, 90 % of the nurses had good hand hygiene practice. No significant
association was found between hand hygiene practices among the nurses with their demographic variables.

Doctors of Tomorrow – A Pipeline Program for Getting a Head Start in Medicineinventionjournals
Purpose: Pipeline programs have long been embraced as a strategyto recruit students from groups underrepresented in medicine into medical careers. Despite the prevalence of these programs, we know little about why students seek out participation and even less about their perceptions of the potential long-term benefits. This study explored the motivations and expectations of pipeline program participants. Method: Twenty-three high school students participated in the Doctors of Tomorrow (DoT) program, a high school and medical school partnership pipeline program from September 2014 through March 2015. Data for this study included students’ application essays, critical incident narratives, focus group discussions and transcripts from individual interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyze all narrative materials and transcripts. Results: Our analysis of all program data revealed that DoT participants were motivated to participate in the program to learn about becoming a physician, gain access to individuals in medicine and develop a competitive advantage over other students when applying to college and medical school. Conclusions: Barriers to careers in medicine for individuals from groups underrepresented in medicine is well documented. These findings suggest that students seek to participate in pipeline programs as astrategy to secure goal-oriented, experiential encounters to help improve access points and mitigate barriers to becoming physicians
Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Self-Medication among Medical Studentsiosrjce
Self-medication is a common practice worldwide and the irrational use of the drugs is a major
cause of concern. Self-medication is an issue with serious global implication. The current study aimed to
determine the Knowledge, Attitude and Behavior of self-medication by medical students. A descriptive crosssectional
study was conducted among medical students currently studying first year to assess knowledge,
attitude and practice regarding self-medication in Chitwan Medical College, Bharatpur, Nepal. Seventy five
students studying in first year were selected for the study using stratified random sampling technique and data
was collected using a semi-structured self-administered questionnaire. The study finding revealed, the mean age
of 75 enrolled students was 20 years, 65.3% were in the age group of 17-20 years. Most of them were female
(72%). Seventy three point three percent belong to urban area. Prevalence rate of self-medication of one year
period seems high i.e. 84% and 68.25% in were females. The most common sources of information used by the
respondent were pharmacist (60.31%) and text book (46.03%). More than half of the respondent found to have
a good knowledge about self-medication regarding definition, adverse effect and different types of drug. The
attitude was positive towards self-medication and favored self-medication saying that it was acceptable. The
principal morbidities for seeking self-medication include cold and cough as reported by 85.7% followed by pain
76.2%, fever 73%, diarrhea 47.6% and dysmenorrheal 46%. Drugs / drugs group commonly used for selfmedication
included analgesics 75.8%, and anta-acids 53.2% and antipyretic 46.3%. Among reasons for
seeking self-medication, 79.2% felt that their illness was minor while 61.9% preferred as it is due to previous
experience. This study shows that self-medication is widely practiced among first year students of this medical
institution. There is dire need to make them aware about the pros and cons of self-medication in order to ensure
safe usage of drugs.
Objective: To evaluate the utility of a targeted lecture in improving FP awareness amongst clinicians.
Design: This is a dual institution, prospective survey-based study assessing if an educational lecture can increase the likelihood of FP consideration, discussion, and referral.

Abstract
Case studies which are done in the field of medicine work towards improving the health of the population. There are some of the parts contained in case studies which are abstract, results, limitations of results, conclusions, and applications. The common statistical methods used in research are descriptive numerical and qualitative thematic analyses. The results of the studies show that equal participation of individuals in the health sector will help boost public health. Limitations of results are that although some strategies may work towards improving health sector, not all of them are effective.
Public health is an important sector in any country for it directly affects the economy of the nation. There need to be certain ways which should be employed with the aim of supporting and improving public health. In this paper, I am going to examine 4 contemporary peer-reviewed articles which employ quantitative or mixed-methods concerning ways on how to improve the health of the public. The interest of the paper is to aid in achieving the best impact in public health sector via using programs which will improve health outcomes drastically. Enhancement of public health will in return help to improve the well-being of populations across the world. Public health awareness on how to avoid unhealthy lifestyles should be created.
In the articles, samples and populations used were appropriate for it showed the real representative of the population at hand. All the samples used in the 4-contemporary peer-reviewed articles fulfilled the rule of thumb hence making them appropriate. The samples used were suitable for they were used to estimate the population parameters for it stood for the entire inhabitants. The samples used were larger but not too large to consume more resources of money and time. The larger sample has helped to produce accurate results making the samples valid and appropriate. The appropriateness of the samples used in these articles, it has been proved via usage of target variance. In using target variance an estimate to be derived from the model eventually attained.
Each article which has been used includes having results, limitations of results, conclusions, and applications. The first contemporary peer-reviewed article is entitled, Refugee women’s involvements of maternity-care facilities in Canada: a methodical review using a description synthesis written by Gina MA Higginbottom, Myfanwy Morgan, Miranda Alexandre, Yvonne Chiu, Joan Forgeron, Deb Kocay and Rubina Barolia. The article was published 11 February 2015. The results show that there needs to have a healthier understanding of the aspects that produce discrepancies in availability, adequacy, and outcomes during parenthood care (Higginbottom, Morgan, Alexandre, Chiu, Forg ...

PEER RESPONSES FOR Patient Outcomes and Sustainable Change
QUESTION: Reflecting on the "IHI Module PS 101: Introduction to Patient Safety," summarize why it is essential to improve patient safety. Use one of the articles from this week's topic Resources and describe the framework or theory that was used to improve the patient outcome. What outcome measures were identified and how did they align with the improvement project? Explain how the authors learned from the error or unintended events to ensure patient safety. Provide supporting evidence.
Dr. Mary Sizemore
Thank you for your response. You provided some good information regarding the quality of care and patient safety. In my practice, many facilities work to improve patient outcomes through the use of electronic health records to reduce errors with medication prescribing. Consider ordering a new medication for a patient. What are some measures you can take as a provider to reduce possible errors with the process?
Kristen Williams

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Module PS 101: Introduction to Patient Safety provides the structural foundation of the vital role patient safety has in a healthcare institution. High reliability was a central theme of the module. A culture of safety is when the employees share a central belief that a healthcare organization supports root cause analysis in patient care (Leape, 2021). It is a significant theme that humans have a predisposition to error, and it is vital to create systems and a safety culture to have a safe environment for patients. It is crucial to develop systems to track and analyze errors as they occur to improve future outcomes by creating safer systems.
When people interact with a healthcare system, they are often at their most valuable state. The number of people dying from medical errors in 2018 was equivalent to a daily jumbo crash (Leape, 2021). Our society would not stand for one plane crash a day, yet often a place whose purpose is to heal hurts. Although humans are prone to error, it is essential to create policies, procedures, and phycological safety to increase safety when people seek healthcare. A facility that commits to embedding safety into policy and procedures and a culture of phycological safety are often referred to as a high-reliability organization (HRO).
Education and empowerment of staff are essential components of building physical safety. Haley & Fritz (2019) used a framework of education and empowerment to improve the rate of urinary tract infections (UTI) in a long-term care (LTC) facility. Haley & Fritz (2019) assessed that evidenced-based signs and symptoms were not consistently utilized in obtaining urine samples to diagnose UTIs. A culture of safety examination showed improvement that could be made. Education and empowerment were done to improve the signs and symptoms used to initiate obtaining a urine sample (Haley & Fritz, 2019). Phycological safety is a vital found.
Exploring Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of ICU Health Workers Regarding ...QUESTJOURNAL
Background: Nosocomial Infection is a localized or systemic infection acquired at any health care facility including hospitals by a patient admitted for any reason other than the pathology present during admission. Including an infection acquired in a healthcare facility that manifest 48 hours after the patient's admission or discharge. Objective: Themain aim of this study is toassess the level of knowledge, attitudes and practice of ICU health personnel with regards to the spread of nosocomial infections. Methodology: A cross-sectional and facility based study was conducted from March to November 2016 at King Khalid hospital in Najran, Saudi Arabia. By adopting convenience technique, 50 subjects had been recruited to participate in this study. Results: 62% of respondentswere female. The mean age was 29 years. Concerning educational status, 54% of the participants have Bsc. professionally most of them (48%) were nurses. 60% of the participants have less than three year working experience in ICU.86% of them highlighted that hands must be washed with soap and water or even rubbed with alcohol before contacting with patients. Additionally, the result reveals that employees who had master degree or above displayed higher mean knowledge scores as compared to the other two groups (diploma or less & bachelor) (0.7147 & 4.6656) respectively. High significant statistical differences were found between the three academic groups in relation to sharp devices, personal protective equipment (gloves, gowns &masks), care of intravenous infusion therapy, central line care and urinary catheter care (F=4.594, F=7.982, F=5.539, F=4.471, F=15.310, F=4.345) respectively at p < 0.05. Recommendation & conclusion: Health workers in ICU (King Khalid hospital) showed adequate knowledge and faire attitude regarding universal precautions
Controladores y estrategias para evitar la sobreutilización sanitaria en Aten...Javier González de Dios
Objectives: Identify the sources of overuse from the point of view of the Spanish primary care professionals, and
analyse the frequency of overuse due to pressure from patients in addition to the responses when professionals
face these demands.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Setting: Primary care in Spain.
Participants: A non-randomised sample of 2201 providers (general practitioners, paediatricians and nurses) was
recruited during the survey.
Primary and secondary outcome measures: The frequency, causes and responsibility for overuse, the frequency that patients demand unnecessary tests or procedures, the profile of the most demanding patients, and arguments for dissuading the patient.
Results: In all, 936 general practitioners, 682 paediatricians and 286 nurses replied (response rate 18.6%). Patient requests (67%) and defensive medicine (40%) were the most cited causes of overuse. Five hundred and twenty-two (27%) received requests from their patients almost every day for unnecessary tests or procedures, and 132 (7%) recognised granting the requests. The lack of time in consultation, and information about new medical advances and treatments
that patients could find on printed and digital media, contributed to the professional’s inability to adequately
counter this pressure by patients. Clinical safety (49.9%) and evidence (39.4%) were the arguments that dissuaded patients from their requests the most. Cost savings was not a convincing argument (6.8%), above all for paediatricians (4.3%). General practitioners resisted more pressure from their patients (x2 =88.8, P<0.001,
percentage difference (PD)=17.0), while nurses admitted to carrying out more unnecessary procedures (x2 =175.7,
P<0.001, PD=12.3).
Conclusion: Satisfying the patient and patient uncertainty about what should be done and defensive medicine practices explains some of the frequent causes of overuse. Safety arguments are useful to dissuade patients from their requests.

Week 3: Epidemiology, the Basis for Public Health
The study of epidemiology includes the examination of infectious disease, mental health and health-related events such as accidents or violence, and occupational and environmental exposure and their effects, as well as the examination of positive health states (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016). Additionally, the study of epidemiology includes research into the morbidity and mortality of chronic illnesses that are found in the United States and across the globe. Infectious diseases like polio, TB, measles, and malaria have been almost eliminated in the United States; however, these diseases continue in other parts of the world for a variety of reasons. Highly contagious infectious diseases can and do lead to death despite the fact that many are preventable. The United States has used childhood vaccinations to prevent and eradicate illnesses such as smallpox and polio. In order to reduce the incidence of malaria in the United States, DDT—a known carcinogen in humans that is also toxic to birds—and other pesticides were used in the past and have since been replaced with nontoxic insecticides and larvicides to reduce the numbers of mosquitoes.
Unfortunately, developing countries often do not have the resources to engage in the same sorts of prevention programs and may have to resort to unsafe or toxic means to control vectors. They may not have the financial resources or health care personnel available to engage in mass vaccination campaigns. In addition, countries that experience frequent wars, acts of terrorism, and political instability face additional challenges to the provision of health care to their populations, especially when faced with an outbreak of an infectious disease.
This week, you will focus on the epidemiology of infectious and communicable disease and how nursing practices change in response to threats and outbreaks.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
Analyze public health settings in relation to prevention of disease transmission
Analyze public health nurse’s role in outbreak investigations
Apply the epidemiological triangle for an infectious or communicable disease outbreak
Analyze leadership roles of nurses in bringing an outbreak under control
Evaluate nursing strategies for health promotion in mitigating outbreaks

What does it mean to be an effective manager in a diverse workforce?
According to Chip Conley, the workforce diversity is characterized of gender, ethnicity and age; which needs a much keener attention. He points out that an effective manager should realize that age diversity makes a company stronger and that different generations within a workplace should focus on mentoring one another at work. He emphasizes on the need to allow openness with one another so that wisdom; knowledge, experience and skills from the young to the old and vice versa. According to Chip Conley, the current 60s is the new 40s and that the current 30s is the new 50s; a key note to take on how effective relationship in a workplace could enrichen a company with greater shared wisdom and skills. Every manager need to relate such knowledge in ensuring effective making of modern elders from the millennials.
According to Chip, an effective manager should establish a learning environment for the boomers and the millennials. Each generation should see the other as assets from which they can derive wisdom. Moreover, Chip calls for both the millennials and the boomers to fix their ego, perhaps so that they can enhance their relationship and get to learn from one another. He calls for the need of the managers to enhance a growth mindset in a workplace and the need for the employees to be curious of getting to know what the other generation can offer, and trying to oneself. Chip states that “Curiosity is the elixir for life”
Working on the psychological empowerment of specifics groups and ensuring mental flexibility is very important for various generations to work coherently effectively. Additionally, a manager in charge of a diverse workforce should ensure that the differences existing between the BB and X generations, and the Y and Z generations should be harmonized so that they do not tamper with the achievement of the organizations set goals and objectives (Toro, Labrador-Fernández & De Nicolas, 2019).
Maintaining a positive working environment helps in enhancing the performance of a diverse workforce. Looking at the small business managers, workforce diversity can be well managed if the owner’s manager supports the existing generational interconnections and the variations as a result of the general difference defining these groups by valuing their differences and the similarities. An effective manager is therefore required to cause a diversity openness among the workforce. Such ensure the performance at all levels, i.e. both the organizational and individual. A manager should, therefore, have the ability to effectively enforce the eradication of the internal communication barriers existing as a result generational, racial, gender, ethnic, age, personality tenure, cognitive style, education among other dissimilarities .

Doctors of Tomorrow – A Pipeline Program for Getting a Head Start in Medicineinventionjournals
Purpose: Pipeline programs have long been embraced as a strategyto recruit students from groups underrepresented in medicine into medical careers. Despite the prevalence of these programs, we know little about why students seek out participation and even less about their perceptions of the potential long-term benefits. This study explored the motivations and expectations of pipeline program participants. Method: Twenty-three high school students participated in the Doctors of Tomorrow (DoT) program, a high school and medical school partnership pipeline program from September 2014 through March 2015. Data for this study included students’ application essays, critical incident narratives, focus group discussions and transcripts from individual interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyze all narrative materials and transcripts. Results: Our analysis of all program data revealed that DoT participants were motivated to participate in the program to learn about becoming a physician, gain access to individuals in medicine and develop a competitive advantage over other students when applying to college and medical school. Conclusions: Barriers to careers in medicine for individuals from groups underrepresented in medicine is well documented. These findings suggest that students seek to participate in pipeline programs as astrategy to secure goal-oriented, experiential encounters to help improve access points and mitigate barriers to becoming physicians
Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Self-Medication among Medical Studentsiosrjce
Self-medication is a common practice worldwide and the irrational use of the drugs is a major
cause of concern. Self-medication is an issue with serious global implication. The current study aimed to
determine the Knowledge, Attitude and Behavior of self-medication by medical students. A descriptive crosssectional
study was conducted among medical students currently studying first year to assess knowledge,
attitude and practice regarding self-medication in Chitwan Medical College, Bharatpur, Nepal. Seventy five
students studying in first year were selected for the study using stratified random sampling technique and data
was collected using a semi-structured self-administered questionnaire. The study finding revealed, the mean age
of 75 enrolled students was 20 years, 65.3% were in the age group of 17-20 years. Most of them were female
(72%). Seventy three point three percent belong to urban area. Prevalence rate of self-medication of one year
period seems high i.e. 84% and 68.25% in were females. The most common sources of information used by the
respondent were pharmacist (60.31%) and text book (46.03%). More than half of the respondent found to have
a good knowledge about self-medication regarding definition, adverse effect and different types of drug. The
attitude was positive towards self-medication and favored self-medication saying that it was acceptable. The
principal morbidities for seeking self-medication include cold and cough as reported by 85.7% followed by pain
76.2%, fever 73%, diarrhea 47.6% and dysmenorrheal 46%. Drugs / drugs group commonly used for selfmedication
included analgesics 75.8%, and anta-acids 53.2% and antipyretic 46.3%. Among reasons for
seeking self-medication, 79.2% felt that their illness was minor while 61.9% preferred as it is due to previous
experience. This study shows that self-medication is widely practiced among first year students of this medical
institution. There is dire need to make them aware about the pros and cons of self-medication in order to ensure
safe usage of drugs.

Abstract
Case studies which are done in the field of medicine work towards improving the health of the population. There are some of the parts contained in case studies which are abstract, results, limitations of results, conclusions, and applications. The common statistical methods used in research are descriptive numerical and qualitative thematic analyses. The results of the studies show that equal participation of individuals in the health sector will help boost public health. Limitations of results are that although some strategies may work towards improving health sector, not all of them are effective.
Public health is an important sector in any country for it directly affects the economy of the nation. There need to be certain ways which should be employed with the aim of supporting and improving public health. In this paper, I am going to examine 4 contemporary peer-reviewed articles which employ quantitative or mixed-methods concerning ways on how to improve the health of the public. The interest of the paper is to aid in achieving the best impact in public health sector via using programs which will improve health outcomes drastically. Enhancement of public health will in return help to improve the well-being of populations across the world. Public health awareness on how to avoid unhealthy lifestyles should be created.
In the articles, samples and populations used were appropriate for it showed the real representative of the population at hand. All the samples used in the 4-contemporary peer-reviewed articles fulfilled the rule of thumb hence making them appropriate. The samples used were suitable for they were used to estimate the population parameters for it stood for the entire inhabitants. The samples used were larger but not too large to consume more resources of money and time. The larger sample has helped to produce accurate results making the samples valid and appropriate. The appropriateness of the samples used in these articles, it has been proved via usage of target variance. In using target variance an estimate to be derived from the model eventually attained.
Each article which has been used includes having results, limitations of results, conclusions, and applications. The first contemporary peer-reviewed article is entitled, Refugee women’s involvements of maternity-care facilities in Canada: a methodical review using a description synthesis written by Gina MA Higginbottom, Myfanwy Morgan, Miranda Alexandre, Yvonne Chiu, Joan Forgeron, Deb Kocay and Rubina Barolia. The article was published 11 February 2015. The results show that there needs to have a healthier understanding of the aspects that produce discrepancies in availability, adequacy, and outcomes during parenthood care (Higginbottom, Morgan, Alexandre, Chiu, Forg ...

QUESTION: Reflecting on the "IHI Module PS 101: Introduction to Patient Safety," summarize why it is essential to improve patient safety. Use one of the articles from this week's topic Resources and describe the framework or theory that was used to improve the patient outcome. What outcome measures were identified and how did they align with the improvement project? Explain how the authors learned from the error or unintended events to ensure patient safety. Provide supporting evidence.
Dr. Mary Sizemore
Thank you for your response. You provided some good information regarding the quality of care and patient safety. In my practice, many facilities work to improve patient outcomes through the use of electronic health records to reduce errors with medication prescribing. Consider ordering a new medication for a patient. What are some measures you can take as a provider to reduce possible errors with the process?
Kristen Williams
Dec 2, 2022, 12:11 PM
The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Module PS 101: Introduction to Patient Safety provides the structural foundation of the vital role patient safety has in a healthcare institution. High reliability was a central theme of the module. A culture of safety is when the employees share a central belief that a healthcare organization supports root cause analysis in patient care (Leape, 2021). It is a significant theme that humans have a predisposition to error, and it is vital to create systems and a safety culture to have a safe environment for patients. It is crucial to develop systems to track and analyze errors as they occur to improve future outcomes by creating safer systems.
When people interact with a healthcare system, they are often at their most valuable state. The number of people dying from medical errors in 2018 was equivalent to a daily jumbo crash (Leape, 2021). Our society would not stand for one plane crash a day, yet often a place whose purpose is to heal hurts. Although humans are prone to error, it is essential to create policies, procedures, and phycological safety to increase safety when people seek healthcare. A facility that commits to embedding safety into policy and procedures and a culture of phycological safety are often referred to as a high-reliability organization (HRO).
Education and empowerment of staff are essential components of building physical safety. Haley & Fritz (2019) used a framework of education and empowerment to improve the rate of urinary tract infections (UTI) in a long-term care (LTC) facility. Haley & Fritz (2019) assessed that evidenced-based signs and symptoms were not consistently utilized in obtaining urine samples to diagnose UTIs. A culture of safety examination showed improvement that could be made. Education and empowerment were done to improve the signs and symptoms used to initiate obtaining a urine sample (Haley & Fritz, 2019). Phycological safety is a vital found.
Exploring Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of ICU Health Workers Regarding ...QUESTJOURNAL
Background: Nosocomial Infection is a localized or systemic infection acquired at any health care facility including hospitals by a patient admitted for any reason other than the pathology present during admission. Including an infection acquired in a healthcare facility that manifest 48 hours after the patient's admission or discharge. Objective: Themain aim of this study is toassess the level of knowledge, attitudes and practice of ICU health personnel with regards to the spread of nosocomial infections. Methodology: A cross-sectional and facility based study was conducted from March to November 2016 at King Khalid hospital in Najran, Saudi Arabia. By adopting convenience technique, 50 subjects had been recruited to participate in this study. Results: 62% of respondentswere female. The mean age was 29 years. Concerning educational status, 54% of the participants have Bsc. professionally most of them (48%) were nurses. 60% of the participants have less than three year working experience in ICU.86% of them highlighted that hands must be washed with soap and water or even rubbed with alcohol before contacting with patients. Additionally, the result reveals that employees who had master degree or above displayed higher mean knowledge scores as compared to the other two groups (diploma or less & bachelor) (0.7147 & 4.6656) respectively. High significant statistical differences were found between the three academic groups in relation to sharp devices, personal protective equipment (gloves, gowns &masks), care of intravenous infusion therapy, central line care and urinary catheter care (F=4.594, F=7.982, F=5.539, F=4.471, F=15.310, F=4.345) respectively at p < 0.05. Recommendation & conclusion: Health workers in ICU (King Khalid hospital) showed adequate knowledge and faire attitude regarding universal precautions
Controladores y estrategias para evitar la sobreutilización sanitaria en Aten...Javier González de Dios
Objectives: Identify the sources of overuse from the point of view of the Spanish primary care professionals, and
analyse the frequency of overuse due to pressure from patients in addition to the responses when professionals
face these demands.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Setting: Primary care in Spain.
Participants: A non-randomised sample of 2201 providers (general practitioners, paediatricians and nurses) was
recruited during the survey.
Primary and secondary outcome measures: The frequency, causes and responsibility for overuse, the frequency that patients demand unnecessary tests or procedures, the profile of the most demanding patients, and arguments for dissuading the patient.
Results: In all, 936 general practitioners, 682 paediatricians and 286 nurses replied (response rate 18.6%). Patient requests (67%) and defensive medicine (40%) were the most cited causes of overuse. Five hundred and twenty-two (27%) received requests from their patients almost every day for unnecessary tests or procedures, and 132 (7%) recognised granting the requests. The lack of time in consultation, and information about new medical advances and treatments
that patients could find on printed and digital media, contributed to the professional’s inability to adequately
counter this pressure by patients. Clinical safety (49.9%) and evidence (39.4%) were the arguments that dissuaded patients from their requests the most. Cost savings was not a convincing argument (6.8%), above all for paediatricians (4.3%). General practitioners resisted more pressure from their patients (x2 =88.8, P<0.001,
percentage difference (PD)=17.0), while nurses admitted to carrying out more unnecessary procedures (x2 =175.7,
P<0.001, PD=12.3).
Conclusion: Satisfying the patient and patient uncertainty about what should be done and defensive medicine practices explains some of the frequent causes of overuse. Safety arguments are useful to dissuade patients from their requests.

Week 3: Epidemiology, the Basis for Public Health
The study of epidemiology includes the examination of infectious disease, mental health and health-related events such as accidents or violence, and occupational and environmental exposure and their effects, as well as the examination of positive health states (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2016). Additionally, the study of epidemiology includes research into the morbidity and mortality of chronic illnesses that are found in the United States and across the globe. Infectious diseases like polio, TB, measles, and malaria have been almost eliminated in the United States; however, these diseases continue in other parts of the world for a variety of reasons. Highly contagious infectious diseases can and do lead to death despite the fact that many are preventable. The United States has used childhood vaccinations to prevent and eradicate illnesses such as smallpox and polio. In order to reduce the incidence of malaria in the United States, DDT—a known carcinogen in humans that is also toxic to birds—and other pesticides were used in the past and have since been replaced with nontoxic insecticides and larvicides to reduce the numbers of mosquitoes.
Unfortunately, developing countries often do not have the resources to engage in the same sorts of prevention programs and may have to resort to unsafe or toxic means to control vectors. They may not have the financial resources or health care personnel available to engage in mass vaccination campaigns. In addition, countries that experience frequent wars, acts of terrorism, and political instability face additional challenges to the provision of health care to their populations, especially when faced with an outbreak of an infectious disease.
This week, you will focus on the epidemiology of infectious and communicable disease and how nursing practices change in response to threats and outbreaks.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
Analyze public health settings in relation to prevention of disease transmission
Analyze public health nurse’s role in outbreak investigations
Apply the epidemiological triangle for an infectious or communicable disease outbreak
Analyze leadership roles of nurses in bringing an outbreak under control
Evaluate nursing strategies for health promotion in mitigating outbreaks

Introduction
Background of the Research
Innovation plays a critical role in assisting businesses to sustain and grow their market
shares. It takes place in dissimilar functions and parts of the business and it is significant to
understand the best way to create and manage it effectively. Digital technologies have been
regularly used in business and this has led to digitized workplaces that demand the need to invent
to remain at the top in the market (Kay & Willman, 2018). Digitizing places of work has played
a key role in changing the way business is usually managed and this has similarly affected how
innovation must be managed and embraced in such a novel business atmosphere. Therefore, the
best way to understand technological innovation in the digital business atmosphere is the need to
understand how technology has been shaping the business world.
The reason for choosing technological innovation in digital business environments is that
business owners play a critical role in the identification and application of new technologies. By
investing in initiatives that permit them to deliver efficient and effective services and products,
they discover innovative solutions to complex challenges (Camisón & Villar-López, 2014).
Successful technological innovation needs collaboration, expert project management, planning,
and execution. Worldwide competition and rigorous demand to bring commodities to market
very fast affect decisions.

Introduction
The for-profit organization which will be analyzed in this report is a famous casual dining restaurant and bar called Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant and Sports Bar. This is an international organization which has various outlets in different parts of the world such as in the United States, Mexico, Canada, Panama, India, and the Philippines among other countries. The reason why Buffalo Wild Wings is the target organization for this report is that it recently received a new president, Lyle Tick, who set an objective to improve the brand image of the restaurant so that it can attract more customers (Romeo, 2018). Due to this, the organization is undertaking some changes in its marketing which is an important component of the internal operations of the business. The change of focus is implementing a social media marketing campaign to increase the number of new customers for the restaurant. This report will evaluate different factors, positive and negative issues, and challenges, which can affect the change process as well as analyze different concepts which can be used to improve change management and change process so as to result to the desired outcomes.
Identify the role of strategic renewal in propelling change.
Strategic renewal is important in creating change interventions which will impact the team members and the organization positively. This is an important process which helps change managers to evaluate the existing progress of the change process and focus on how to improve the change process so that the desired outcome may be achieved. One of the roles of strategic renewal in propelling change is by revisiting and improving the change strategies. Strategic renewal ensures that the organization is able to develop a strategic game plan which will be used to promote different growth objectives during change management. This enhances change since the organization is able to focus on having a competitive advantage against other competitors and satisfying the customers’ needs to the best of its abilities. In the case of Buffalo Wild Wing Restaurant, it focused on adopting new growth objective which aimed at attracting more millennial customers to ensure it increases the size of the target market for the restaurant.
Strategic renewal helps in concentrating all the efforts in brainstorming and identification of solutions to challenges which may impact the change action plan. The organization and its employees are able to focus on finding different approaches which can be used to improve the experience resulting from the change process. This pushes change since the organization is able to avoid certain pitfalls which the organizations would have experienced. This aspect has been achieved by Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant whereby the organization.

Introduction
As the new District Manager, I intend to build and structure the foundation of workers for all the five Dunkin' Donuts establishments. My goal is to increase the fiscal profits for every unit to establish extra legacies to the company's brand. The paper analyzes the following categories of Dunkin' Donuts: job design including job analysis, job description and job specification, and organizational design. Workers job designs will be assessed with the use of a divisional structure for Bakers, Crewmembers, and managers. Inside of Dunkin' Donuts will be analyzed to decide the needs for recruiting and selecting applicants. Also, the essay discusses the training and performance appraisals for the value of significance to the franchise.
Job Design
Job design refers to the process of organizing duties and roles into a productive unit of work. The job design will include job analysis, job description and job specification. Job design occurs when managers decide the duties to be completed, the people who will do them and the selection approach to be adopted in choosing workers (Reilly, Minnick, & Baack, 2011). Below, I have used job analysis, job description, and job specification to discuss the job design of the five new establishments.
Job Analysis
The process of assigning tasks will be undertaken by the HR department and the departmental managers. I will be adapting the extermination model of job analysis. Every branch will have 5 to 8 workers per shift, with one being a manager, one may be a shift leader and the rest will include crewmembers and bakers. They will be in charge of food handling, housekeeping and sales. Each worker's qualification will include preparing donuts, coffee, frozen meals, and working on the cash register.
Job Description
For job descriptions, the current Dunkin' Donuts models will be appropriate for the Crewmembers, Bakers, and Management (https://www.peopleanswers.com/pa/testSplashPageEntry.do?splashURL=portalDunkinDonuts1&src=825452). Most roles at the organization are entry-level positions, which need filling customer orders through preparing drinks and baked food. Applicants will need to show their readiness to take directions and interact with the clients regularly.
Job Specification
Bakers, Crewmembers, and Shift Leaders – These are the entry-level spots that will need minimal requirements. Basic requirements include at least a High School Diploma (GED or equivalent), inclination to take direction and intermingle with clients, and interpersonal working capabilities. These roles are trainable on the job. The position of shift leader will be achievable by an existing baker or crewmember .

Part I: Research Questions
1. Should student athletes receive a stipend by the universities as reimbursement for participating in sports? Are there policies under the ISSF that guide on how best students should be compensated for their participation in different sports?
2. What challenges do coaches face in managing their respective teams? Is there an approved ISSF standard management structure that would allow coaches to participate and interact more with their players such that they are not only constrained to their managerial duties?
Part II: Research Topic
Problem Statement
Professional athletes earn large sums of money, though considered unethical; due to the fact that most of the times these athletes are students who are “exploited”. The estimated value rose through college athletics is considered to be roughly more than a billion dollars yearly, with this revenue being generated from an estimated 25 football schools and 64 basketball schools respectively (Brown & Williams, 2019). The concern raised is that the students do not get to see the money earned; but instead are offered athletic scholarships, allowing them to get free college education. The concerning factor is that most students use this opportunity as a chance to qualify for professional leagues, without considering the beneficial factors that their education offers. They are continuously to sacrifice their class and study hours such that they can practice and travel for their sports (Brown & Williams, 2019). Even though a scholarship seems like a good deal for some of these college athletes, what criteria is used to reward those athletes who are often viewed as celebrities and exploited for their affiliation with different institution to earn money for them?
Quite often, managers are faced with the dilemma of relating with their athletes mainly because they are absorbed in managerial duties that limit their interactions with their players. As a result, the element of teamwork is ignored and disregarded, leading to lack of communication, lack of trust, and continued conflict, which may affect the effectiveness of the team (Rollnick, Fader, Breckon, & Moyers, 2019). Sometimes the coaches aspect of caring is viewed as interference because there is no connection between the players and their coach, with coaches feeling left out of most decisions made by the players. This in mind, the study focuses on finding new strategies that can be applied by all coaches in every sport, such that the aspect of unity and communication is achieved, with coaches participating more in their respective projects.
Importance of the Study
Given the dynamic scope of this industry, it is important to do more research to understand the depth of the dilemma within the industry, with the use of previous and current research to provide insight on different pers.

Managerial Accounting
Accounting can be defined as the procedure of keeping monetary financial records. Accounting can be group as financial and managerial accounting. For businesses to be successful, they need to be having both managerial and financial accounting experts. Impeccable managerial and financial bookkeeping are important to the progress and constant survival of any corporate. Structurally, economically, and lawfully, bookkeeping is an essential section in any institute, and the necessity for an extremely skilled accounting squad is unconditionally crucial. Despite the similarities between financial and managerial accounting, there are also differences between them.
The managerial accounting works through measuring, analyzing and reporting monetary and non-monetary information that aids directors to make judgements to accomplish the objectives of an organization. Managerial accounting emphasizes on the internal broadcasting and is not regulated by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management accounting is known for its much efforts to focus on the future rather than paying much attention to what happened in the past (Kinicki & Fugate, 2016). This type of accounting is so influential to the performance of directors and other workers as opposed to principally reporting financial events. There are no principles which guide the operations of management accounting.
Management accounting permits executives to charge attention on owners’ principal to aid judge a division’s presentation, although this may not be allowed by generally accepted accounting principles. Managerial accounting comprises assets or liabilities which may not be recognized by generally accepted accounting principles and it makes use of asset or liability quantifying rules like present values or resale prices which is not acceptable under GAAP.
Financial accounting on the other hand emphasizes on commentary to exterior events like shareholders, government interventions, and banks. It evaluates and registers business dealings and provides fiscal reports that are grounded on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Financial bookkeeping is controlled by commonly accepted accounting principles (Weygandt, Kimmel & Kieso, 2015). Financial accounting comprises of sending monetary reports like income reports or balance sheets, to outside bodies like creditors, tax specialists, shareholders, and the Interior Revenue Service.
The managerial accounting positions out profit and loss accounts, job costing accounts, and operating resources, financial accounting conveys facts only for those on the external who want to decide the company's marketplace assessment. Managerial accounting emphases on issues and answers within an institute while financial accounting is worried with productivity from without. Managerial accountants make internal working reports, while financial accountants generat.

Question (a)
Categorical variables are useful in classifying data that usually takes only one form. An example where categorical variables can be used is when classifying the ages of different individual based on the gender of the participants. The use of n-1 variable in categorical variables makes the classification easier since variables take either of the quantitative provided. In these situations, the variables are limited to take either one or zero as the quantitative value to ease the classification process (Bühlmann & Dezeure, 2016). Classification based on n-1 variable tends to be faster and also saves time and does not have many problems. When a particular variable takes 1 is assumed to be quantitative but when it takes zero the assumption made is that the variable is absent. Categorical variables involving n variables, the n-1 variables are the only important variables since they classify the data given accordingly to the required quantitative values which I either 1 or 0.
Classification of information based on categorical valuables, the n variables tend to have problems. The n value can sometimes lead to problems that may end up prolonging the classification process and also make it difficult. The n variable has problem in resulting to multi-co linearity in classifying (Guo & Berkhahn, 2016). The problem results when there is similar interconnections between the variables this create a problem in interpreting the information. The interconnection of the n variables can result in the prediction of the other variable from the other. Another problem resulting in from categorical variables is that n variable is intuitively meaning that variables can be classified based on the interests or feelings of the research. Lastly, the n variables are redundant that is do not have updated information.
Question (b)
In statistics, logistic regressions are used in classification of variable that tend to have different forms either positive or negative values. Logistic regressions classify data consisting of dependent variables with and more than two or more independent variables. The classifications are based on pacing several variables at their different level of existence (van Smeden et al., 2016). Logistic regression predict the relationship of variables that can either take 1or 0 in the classification. Logistic regressions is concerned in giving descriptions to the data and give detailed information relationship between one independent variable and more nominal independent variables. For instance, logistic regression can be used in financial institutions to clarify financial defaulters. In classification of the data, logistic re.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss how motivation can improve outcomes in congestive heart failure (CHF). CHF is a chronic progressive condition that affects the pumping ability of the heart muscles. This paper will cover CHF as a practice problem, the role of evidence to in regard to CHF, and the role of the DNP practice scholar in the translation of evidence.
Addressing issues related to CHF management through education program is important in the improvement of self-management. Most of the reported readmission cases, morbidity, and mortality are associated with poor self-care and self-management of the diseases. The focus of most healthcare facilities when it comes to the management of the CHF is focused on an identified medication regimen, and little to no attention is given to the importance of patient education to improve self-management of CHF.
A study by Bader et al (2018) revealed that an advanced heart failure program helped in the improvement of disease awareness and self-care behaviors when the patients were led by well-trained heart failure nurses. Another study by Howie-Esquivel et al (2015) used the approach of TEACH-HF intervention to manage CHF patients. The study outcome revealed a significantly lower hospital re-admission rate and decrease in the length of stay.
DNP practice scholar play a key role in the translation of evidence. The DNP practice scholar is instrumental in the initiation of projects that focus on the standardized educational process for CHF patients. The initiation is done through the development of new education tools and clinician documentation of evidence-based heart failure care (Myslenski, 2018). Practice Problem and Question
Patient education is becoming an effective process of managing CHF at home. Patient education aids in the improvement of knowledge and self-care behaviors, thereby, reducing the incidence of readmissions cases (Bader, et al., 2018).
Heart failure is a common, high-risk condition that is characterized with high reports hospitalization and sometimes death. This disease affects more than 6.5 million Americans and in 2012 the CDC reported that it cost approximately 30.7 billion dollars to care for CHF patients and wages lost due to hospitalization. Unlike other cardiovascular illnesses, CHF appears to be the most common one and nearly 1 million new cases are being reported annually internationally. This, therefore, makes it the fastest growing cardiovascular disorder (Savarese & Lund, 2017).
This study is guided by the following Picot question: Does the multidisciplinary educational approach work effectively towards the prevention of hospital re-admission for patients diagnosed with congestive heart .

Malware-Trojan horse virus
Malware can be defined as any file or program that is introduced to a computer with the intention of harming the user. The harm to the user can be through interfering with his use of the compute, unauthorized access to his data, locking the user out of his computer and also spying on the user’s activity. There are several types of malware and they include ransom ware, Trojan horses, computer viruses, worms and spyware (White, Fisch & Pooch, 2017). For this particular assignment, I will focus on Trojan horse virus. The name Trojan horse comes from the famous Greek story, where Greek soldiers were able to take down the city of Troy after they sneaked into the city inside a wooden horse that was guised as a gift to the people of Troy. Just like the story the Trojan horse virus disguises itself as a legitimate program however the program provides unauthorized access into the system most of the time to hackers.
Most of the time, Trojan horses gain access to a secured system through social engineering. Most of the time, Trojan horse viruses are introduced into a system by duping a user into executing an attachment on an email guised to be unsuspicious. They can also be introduced via social media where users are tricked into clicking on fake advertisements or advertisements that offer fake rewards. Once the links or attachments are clicked on, a Trojan horse virus is introduced. Trojan horse viruses can allow an attacker to have access to a user’s personal information and other forms of data. Trojan horse viruses can affect other devices on the network through infection caused by the introduction of the first Trojan horse; most ransom ware is introduced through Trojan horse viruses (Wang, Lorch & Parno, 2016). In addition, through the use of Trojan horse viruses, attackers can modify data, copy data, block data, delete data and generally disrupt or distort the performance and operations of targeted computers or devices in a network.
Steps of mitigating a Trojan horse virus attack
The first step in mitigating a Trojan horse virus attack is the installation of effective anti-malware software or what is commonly referred to as an anti-virus. The anti-malware will detect as well as prevent any Trojan horse virus attack on a computer or a network. The second step in mitigating Trojan horse virus attacks is the installation of the latest available patches of the operating system in use. The third step is proper scanning of all external devices that are introduced to a computer or a network (Rader & Rahman, 2015). The fourth step is through the cautioning on the execution of any program th.

Los Angeles and New York budgetary comparison
The cities for comparison in this assignment are the city of New York and the city of Los Angeles. These two are major cities in the United States that have large population and play a crucial role both locally and internationally. The cities have major infrastructural, social, and economic burdens to bear. They also have huge finances to budget for the management of their cities. In the financial year 2017, the city of New York budgeted for an expenditure of $84 billion (The City of New York, 2017). Los Angeles has a budget of $9.2 billion (City of Los Angeles, 2017). The New York City budget is larger than some of the states in the USA. Both cities are required to ensure they have a balanced budget each year with clear information about the sources of the funds, use of the fund and ensure that the budgetary deficits are clearly financed in each year.
The city of Los Angeles budgets is prepared with several underlying principles that must adhered. The city has a reserve fund, which equals to 5% of the city’s general fund revenues. The capital improvements fund for the city is equal to 1% of the city’s general fund revenue. The city holds that all the funds from one-time sources must be used to finance the one-time expenditures. The city of New York has also established several reserves to take care of uncertainties in the city (City of Los Angeles, 2017). These reserves include the Retiree health benefit trust funds, a general reserve as well as a capital stabilization reserve fund for the city.
Sources of funds
The two cities have almost similar sources of funds for their budgets. These sources of funds, however, have differing contributions to the city’s finances. The table below presents the proportional sources of incomes to the cities.

In the two cities, the property taxes account for the largest source of incomes. In New York, the allocation and distribution from other government and government agencies is the second largest source of income. This is due to the international nature of the city, which hosts major national and international offices. The city of Los Angeles has large commercial enterprises within its jurisdiction that contributed large amount of incomes in form of licenses, fees, and permits compared to New York’s city income from license and fees amounting to only 8% of the overall incomes. The miscellaneous sources of finance include the transfers from the reserve transfers, the special funds .

Foreclosure is a scary word for homeowners, but it is
not all that common today (citation needed). Bortz (2017) reported that the foreclosure rate (meaning the percentage of loans in foreclosure) currently hovers just under 1%. During economic downturns, like the housing crisis of 2011, foreclosure rates rose as high as 3.6% in United State (Bortz, 2017).
Research question
The phenomenon as mentioned above and literature background lead to the overriding research question, “what are the lived experiences of management executives whose companies face foreclosure?” The subareas of exploration for this question are:
i. The manager’s self-care practices
ii. The manager’s relationship with immediate relatives
iii. The manager’s business practices
iv. The manager’s relationships with subordinates
Methodology
In order to investigate the lived experiences of management executives, a phenomenological qualitative method will be employed. The relationships and practices of managers facing company foreclosure are the core of this research. Creswell (2013) discussed that the purpose of a phenomenological qualitative method is to …….
Proposed population
1. The homogenous group for the study is former management executives strictly from the operations department. The selected executives will have a background of having undergone company foreclosure at least once in the past 20 years.
2. Participants will be solicited through enticing advertisements online for filling surveys to participate in a study interview.
3. The number of participants will be restricted to 16 executives aged 35 years or more. Their former positions will be limited to operations management.
Data collection
1. The type of data to be accrued will be unstructured and semi-structured interviews.
2. Participants will be asked to participate in at least two rounds of one-on-one interviews spanning anywhere from 50 to 60 minutes each. Interviews will be conducted in person, by phone, or through an internet source such as Zoom.
3.
Bracketing
I am especially interested in this research question because my research showed scarce primary literature about the impact of company foreclosure on the personal and professional lives of executives’ manager and their families. With many companies facing foreclosure around the globe every year, it is surprising that very little research has been conducted on how they affected the lives of the involved executives. I suspect I may find it useful to know the real potential consequences of organizational shutdown in case I become a manager in the future. Even though one works hoping for the best, preparing for the worst is also a very rational route for any organizational management model.

Major Concerns of Climate Change in China
Introduction
China is one of the critical countries in the world, which are considered to significantly contribute to the issue of climate change. Research indicates that China produces over 6.000 megatons of carbon dioxide every year. The increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is associated with increase in global warming, which perpetrates the climate change. To this end, China is regarded as the largest emitter of greenhouse gases across the globe based on absolute terms, contributing to about 22 percent of the total amount of emissions (Held, Nag & Roger, 2011). At the moment, the emissions of the greenhouse gases by China have exceeded the global per capita average, following the growth in the emissions by over 200 percent from 1990 to 2008. The concern of increased greenhouse gases emissions in China is largely associated with the countries appetite for economic growth. The historical growth of the Chinese economy has been tremendously effected through the use of fossil fuels as a major source of energy in industries. Despite the increased desire from the global community to mitigate the impacts of climate change, there is fear that the emission of greenhouse gases in the country may rise by between 55 and 75 by 2025 (Held, Nag & Roger, 2011). Therefore, it is important to discuss the different concerns presented by China regarding the issue of climate change that is tremendously perpetrated by increase in emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
Overview of the Issue of Climate Change in China
The Chinese government has established policies that are aimed at adopting effective governance of climate change, improved domestic capacity of effectively governing the energy use and emissions, as well as supporting the commitments that positively impact decline in future international emissions. China acknowledges the need to lower the emission of greenhouse gases as well as mitigating the impacts of climate change, which is a critical solution towards obtaining a healthier international environment (Lipin, 2016). As a matter of fact, numerous multinational negotiations have been advanced so as to develop a global climate regime that governs the efforts of reducing the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Being among the world’s largest polluters, China has received increase attention from the global community. The country, which has the highest population of over 1.3 billion, has been steadfastly reluctant to comply to the suggestions by international organizations such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) (Held, Nag & Roger, 2011). These organizations have been engaged in pushing for .

INTRODUCTION
Amazon is one of the fastest growing online retailer company in the United States of America that has been able to overhaul its business structure by using innovative strategies in supply chain management. Amazon has left most of its competitors have a hard time trying to catch up. The firm has made huge investments in the management of its inventory to include recent forms of technology to beat its competition. The firm has optimized every link in its supply chain to ensure its customers are satisfied and well attended to (Leblanc, 2019). This paper hence seeks to discuss Amazons supply chain operation factors such as; transport and security, procurement and inventory management, technology and information management, and articulate some of the global risk factors affecting the firm. Comment by TJS: Paragraphs need to be left justified Comment by TJS: Great point here. Amazon is dominating the industry Comment by TJS: Anthropomorphisms should not be utilized. An anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics or behavior to a good, animal, or object.
TRANSPORTATION AND SECURITY
Transportation cost structures, modes, and distribution centers, inventory control systems, and inventory costs reduction strategies
Amazon initially launched a two-day delivery program for its customers to ensure that its customers had fast delivery of products but soon other competitors started catching on. Amazon hence had to make another adjustment in its freight services and now offers a two-hour delivery service to Amazon Prime customers. For product freight, Amazon has equally sub-contracted firms such as the United Parcel Service to transport its products to its customers. Amazon has been relying on third-party couriers to make their deliveries as they have a better-established delivery route and path that they can leverage for efficient delivery services (Leblanc, 2019). Comment by TJS: Yes. They set a new industry standard
However, due to the consideration of numerous factors involved in using third-party carriers for deliveries, Amazon has developed its privately-owned freight service. Amazon hence uses its privately-owned vehicles to carry products to its clients specifically for same-day deliveries. In recent times, Amazon has been developing cargo freight service in certain specific areas where the firm uses drones to carry items straight to their clients who are within a 10-mile radius from their warehouses. This has cut product deliveries to half an hour or less. Amazon is progressively incorporating newer technologies in its supply chain that systems can hence run without human supervision. This strategy has been articulated to be efficient so far as there are has been reduced inventory management costs over the last few years since the acquisition of Kiva Systems (Leblanc, 2.

Introduction
Evaluation of the program is usually done to in order to determine the quality of the program, how effective the program is and how the program is performing. This can help to know if the program is making a significant difference among the targeted people. It can also assist to know if the program is functioning or not. This paper therefore seeks to evaluate the program which is assisting the homeless people within the community.
The two program evaluation questions are: what is the reach of the program? And what has been the impact of the program on the homeless people? The answers to these questions would elicit both qualitative and quantitative results. Therefore, the program evaluation will require both quantitative and qualitative data collection plan. This is because the use of mixed-method approach is convenient since the results and findings would be reliable (Creswell, 2017). After identifying the evaluation program questions, the next step will be to come up with plan of evaluating a program. The plan should consist of methods of collecting data, evidences, the person responsible and the duration.

Literature Review
It is expected that every student enrolled in high school works hard towards the completion of their high school diploma. However, research indicates there was a 5.4% drop out among the minority groups, in which 6.4% of the overall status dropout rate is that of the male youth. Among the Africans, Hispanics, and American Indian Natives, the dropout rates among the boys are 8%, 10%, and 11.6%, respectively (Musu-Gillette, De Brey, McFarland, Hussar, Sonnenberg, & Wilkinson-Flicker, 2017). These dropouts often join continuation schools later in life with the hope that they will get an equivalent of their high school diploma. The theoretical framework of this research is based on the phenomenological approach, in which the aim is to examine the occurrence of school dropout among minority boys and their performance after joining continuation school.
One of the theories that explain why minority boys drop out of school is the Critical Race Theory. The model argues that education opportunities are often affected by an individual’s race and racism (Colbert, 2017). Based on this theory, minority groups are often faced with issues such as poverty and racial discrimination in schools, which causes some of the male students to drop out of school. Racism victims in school feel inferior to the whites and sometimes feel like they do not deserve a quality education, and they end up falling behind in school.
Cultural production theory, on the other hand, explains why the dropouts choose to go back to school. The theory holds that the education system helps to level out the playing field so that people get equal opportunities to make their lives. The approach provides an essential perspective as to why minority boys dropouts join continuation schools and complete their learning process.
According to Bania, Lydersen, and Kvernmo (2016), non-completion of high school mostly results from different problems, most of which are health-related. In research in which the authors carried out among the youths in the Arctic, they found out that dropout rates were higher among males. Additionally, minority males often drop out due to mental issues. Based on the article, education affects an individual’s employment opportunities and income, as well as the quality of life, which explains why the dropouts choose to join continuation schools later in life.
Hernandez and Ortez (2019) undertake research in which they analyze the experiences of some Latinas who are enrolled in continuation school. Based on the writers’ claims, continuation schools have put in place strategies that enable the students to cope and realize that they have an opportunity to succeed just like any other individual. Additionally, due to the improvement in the prospects for quality education presented to the marginalized groups, the article indicates that there are .

Living with chronic illnesses: How are those with a chronic illness treated by their families since their diagnosis?
Maura K. Little
University of West Florida
Abstract
This study aims to figure out what the relationship and meaning of the ways that a family treats a family member with a chronic mental or physical illness. The exploration of the way those with a chronic illness are treated since their diagnosis is important to understand the perceptions, behaviors, and communication that surrounds illness. Chronic mental illness will be analyzed against chronic physical illness to assess similarities and differences in family behaviors. Participants included individuals selected from local support groups based on their illness as well as family structure. An ethnographic study would be used to compare both the verbal and nonverbal relationship between the ill family member and the rest of the family.
Introduction
This study aimed to focus on both physical chronic illnesses and mental chronic illnesses and their effects on family communication, particularly surrounding the diagnosis of the illnesses.
Family has a large impact on the perceptions of illness. In recent times, the publicity around individuals with chronic illnesses, both mental and physical, has increased dramatically in the media. From the production of films about those with physical chronic illnesses to celebrity diagnosis of a mental illness, illness is something our society is beginning to talk about more frequently. However there are certain stigmas attached to these illnesses that make it harder for patients and their families to cope with their situation. Most often because of the portrayals of chronic illness that romanticize illnesses and do not necessarily show all of the effects of these illnesses on the patient or their family.
Both mental and physical chronic illnesses are much more complex than how they are portrayed in the media. These illnesses often produce copious amounts of side effects that bring a whole new level of challenges to the patient's struggle through their daily life and readjustment after diagnosis. One effect that is often not publicized as much as others is the relationships that exist between the patient and their family. These family relationships may change drastically with the diagnosis of and grappling with a chronic illness, changing how family members perceive one another, how they act, and even how they communicate. All of these things depend upon the nature of the family, and the illness and produce different changes. However, through all different types of families and illnesses, communication in situations like these is essential to understanding one another. According to Rosland (2009), several interviews and focus groups showed that family members lowered stress, and are central to patient success. In most instances, the family i.

Gideon Aryertey
Embry Riddle Aeronautical University
Introduction
Over decades, many individuals have been using tobacco without being aware of its harmful effects. For instance, in the U.S., the rate of cigarette smoking increased immensely in the early twentieth century. This was due to the invention of the cigarette rolling machine as well as an increase in the advertisement of tobacco products. As a result, cigarette smoking expanded regardless of the opposition of religious leaders or other members. Tobacco consumption reaches its peak especially between the ages of 20 to 40 in both females and males although statistically males consume more than females. Furthermore, the smoking rate amongst African-Americans (16.7%) are higher than the national average in comparison to Caucasians (16.6%). In fact, mixed race individuals and American Indian/Alaska Natives have higher smoking rates than African-Americans. As a result, this shows that there’s a big issue with the use of tobacco. Tobacco has led to many diseases such as lung cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke. It also leads to addiction. However, it is significant for one to overcome the addiction of tobacco use to improve their health status. Educating people about the harmful effect of tobacco consumption and making tobacco less affordable will correspond to a gradual decrease in its use.
Tobacco use has caused numerous deaths amongst individuals despite their socioeconomic backgrounds. For instance, approximately 30 percent of people who perish due to cancer in the United States; 80 percent of these deaths are caused by lung cancer. lung cancer is the main cause of cancer related deaths in the youth and adults. (Addicott, Sweitzer & McClernon, 2018). Lung cancer attacks both genders and the treatment process can be very complex. Consumers of tobacco are affected by this disease because it exterminates the cells responsible for fighting against the disease. Also, the use of tobacco affects the proper functioning of all the organs in the body. Other than lung cancer, tobacco consumption can also lead to mouth, esophagus, larynx, liver, kidney, bladder, cervix, pharynx, stomach, myeloid leukemia, pancreas and colon cancers (Ebbert, Elrashidi & Stead, 2015).
In fact, about 7300 nonsmokers die from lung disease every year according to the International Agency that is responsible for Research on Cancer (IARC) after being exposed to tobacco. Additionally, a 2009 survey that was conducted in China indicated that about 38 percent of smokers were aware that smoking contributes to attack of coronary heart disease while 27 percent were aware that it can lead to a stroke (Ambrose, et. al, 2017). However, individuals who smoke about five cigarettes a day showed signs of various diseases and damages to the blood vessels (Gilreath, et. al, 2016). In fact, blood vessels are thickened and then become narrow.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Abstract
This paper addresses the cognitive abilities that enhance hand
hygiene acquiescence while backing the inhibition of healthcare
associated to the contagions and how they have been widely
acknowledged. It is also acknowledged that great hand
cleanliness alone cannot impress difficult risk influences, such
as elder age, immune-suppression, entrance fee to the serious
care part, a lengthier span of stay, and indwelling strategies.
The participants used in this study were selected from were
randomly selected from public places through observation of
their actions and how they took care of their hands especially
before eating, after eating and also engaging in hand cleanness
in public places. The main methods used for the research are
qualitative studies through the use of observation models. In
sum, it was found that hand sanitation involvements are
concomitantly assumed with other monotonous or superior
preventive approaches, there are a probable for these
2. simultaneous policies to confuse the result of the hand
sanitation package. Therefore, the direct comment of hand
cleanliness likelihoods and movements; microelectronic nursing
of hand hygiene actions and valuation of liquor created hand
rub ingesting strength also be used as accidental methods and
supernumerary indicators. In addition to these studies
specifically focused on hand hygiene treatments, hand hygiene
was in the center of numerous studies applying broader
transmission control treatments and demonstrating the effect on
healthcare-associated infection rates. So, hand hygiene is the
fundamental part of proper recommendations for the prevention
of the most common healthcare-associated infections.
Keywords: hand hygiene, hand sanitation, qualitative studies
Significance and Background of the Study
The study is significant because it will have an impact on
improving the healthcare and also the welfare of the poor
populations in terms of improving their health. Therefore, those
with previous illness situations anxiety that they might lose
assurance attention if they modification occupations. Central
income person terror that decrease insurance welfares might
energy them to recompense extra and more of the prices of
health care, accumulative their unwillingness to search for
maintenance when they necessity it. Urged in portion by the
misconduct assurance crisis, obstetrical amenities are described
to be in small source in certain areas. Inhabitants of this
nation's rural zones are aggressive a hard fight to save hospitals
exposed so that, at a smallest, they consume admission to
alternative facilities and vital main care. To evade consuming to
admit extra room patients who might not have assurance,
mounting numbers of clinics have stopped offering crisis
amenities.
This study was informed by a number of factors such as the
diagnosis of diseases caused by lack of sanitation programs in
the 1960s and 1970s. In 1975 and 1985, the CDC available
3. strategies on hand laundry perform in clinics, mainly
encouraging hand laundry with non-antimicrobial lathers; dirty
linen with antimicrobial shampoo was directed before and after
accomplishment aggressive measures or during maintenance for
great peril patients. Alcohol-based clarifications were suggested
only in circumstances where hand basin was not accessible. In
1995, the Clinic Infection Controller Performs Optional
Committee (HICPAC) encouraged the practice of antimicrobial
shampoo or a waterless sterile agent for washing hands upon
leave-taking the lodgings of patients diseased with multidrug-
resistant pathogens. In 2002, the CDC available studied
strategies for hand hygiene (Nickitas, 2016).
Purpose of the Study
The aim of the study is to improve the use of hand sanitation
especially among the poor populations in both urban and rural
areas. The study also aims at providing theoretical knowledge
on the impact of healthcare through the use of hand sanitation
programs. With approbation to HIV/AIDS, drug misuse, cancer,
and newborn death, less promising results are frequently
accredited to the incapability of about segments of civilization
to gain timely access to essential health services. The use of
this knowledge would help to reduce diseases that can be
transmitted through the use of clean hands.
METHODS
Study designs
Study #1 Nursing Research Study in the USA
The descriptive analysis design using the purposive
measurement method was used as the method of investigation.
An example of 12 nurse directors working in three hospital
organizations in Virginia was selected. To act in this survey, the
nurse managers got to take 2 or more years' experience.
Demographic information was gathered via e-mail after
receiving informed consent. Interview questions were asked,
4. and the open-ended way was applied. The rights of participants
at the report were protected per Institutional Review committee
guidelines.
Choosing to learn healthcare in the U.S. can give you the
chance to study at state-of-the-art clinical facilities and train
under the direction of leading lecturers in this field. As an
international student nurse, you can take at critical care
hospitals, hospice care centers, and reach clinics. Learning in
the U.S., you can get the chance to learn from experts, and be
surrounded by students and professionals from different social,
ethnic, spiritual, economic, and educational backgrounds. There
are a wide variety of healthcare classes at these various
educational institutions across all these states in the U.S.,
providing students with the chance to decide the home and way
that’s right for them. The vast array of healthcare choices may
be overwhelming, but once you see these various programs, you
will get to explore the courses available at the selected
universities (Lohr, 2019).
Stratified sampling of individuals was used in finding the
participants among the chosen population. The participants
would be given food and tested on the basic hygiene such as
washing of hands before consuming of their food. There was a
highpoint the implication of hand sanitation and its proposals,
and to demonstrate the accurate movements for hand imprint
and hand-washing. The likert scale technique was used to
examine the results of the study under this research. According
to the findings of this research, healthcare workers’ education
might be achieved using stable presentations, e-learning
components, films, focus assortments, considerate discussion,
friction tape, self-learning mechanisms, applied complaints, the
answer from the control, buddy arrangements, or combinations
of these and other methods. The results of this study
demonstrated that it is credible for this research.
Study #2 Nursing Research Study in the USA
This sampling of nurses in hospitals also differed across
5. nations. At the U.S., between one-third and one-half of all
certified registered nurses living at these four states were
arbitrarily sampled from licensure listings. In the Alberta state
of Canada, the comprehensive census of registered nurses
running in hospitals was attempted. Typical samples were drawn
of nurses used at all critical care hospitals in the lake and
British university states of Canada, and in Scotland, too. At
England, Germany and New Zealand nannies in target hospitals
were approached In their using hospitals and tasted from
hospital business records.
Do you want to learn healthcare in the U.S. And meet the life-
long educational desire? Are you searching for physical and
professional development? Whatever the own reasons may be,
foreign students are getting to the United States at record
numbers. During the final 2010–2011 academic year,
universities across the United States had a five% change in
international enrollment. Those numbers compare to roughly
700,000 more foreign students on US campuses. We have
compiled the list of the best nursing schools for foreign students
needing to learn healthcare at the US.
This second experiment involved calculating hand sanitation
obedience is the direct remark of hand cleanliness chances and
movements; electronic nursing of hand cleanliness movements
and assessment of alcohol founded hand rub ingesting might
also be used as unintended approaches and substitute indicators.
All healthcare codes have beliefs embodied at them. At this
U.K., registered nurses are needed to understand the Nursing
and medicine council's code of business conduct it is
fascinating that Japan and the U.S. Get same rank codes for
nurses and therefore should subscribe to the same values.
Nevertheless, Japanese nurses measure continuity, uniformity,
harmony, self-sacrifice and hard work, whereas U.S. Nurses
focus on power, variety, patient care choice and self-protection.
6. Study #3 Nursing Research Study in the USA
The third experiment was based on testing the accessibility of
real and healthy accepted alcohol grounded hand rub goods at
the point of care. This study was aimed at testing the rate of
alcohol in cleaning of hands. The main hypothesis for this
research was the effect of alcohol in killing pathogens in an
individual’s hands. The participants were supposed to intensify
their ability to avoid infections through the use of hand-based
hygiene in an environment infested with pathogens.
Like medication, Nursing points are also very popular in the
USA. You can learn healthcare in numerous colleges and
universities throughout America. Is that you have some choices
in terms of these types of learning programs and this kind of
specializations as well (clinical Nurse, Nurse professional for
adults or children, medicine, healthcare administration, etc.)
You may select a job nursing or a Bachelor of the science
curriculum, among others. If you’re an international student and
think to apply for a nursing degree in the USA, go with the
selected college and expect to let an admission specialist or
committee assess the preliminary studies. In some instances, the
prior training may not be equated according to requirement
criteria from the U.S (Rees, 2016).
The findings of this research show that the hand shower is
lengthily recognized as the basis of contagion regulation in the
concentrated care component (ICU). The objectivity of this
research was achieved demonstrating that it improved the
credibility of its findings. Hand laundry is broadly
acknowledged as the keystone of the infection mechanism in the
intensive care unit (ICU). Nosocomial contaminations are
regularly viewed as demonstrating poor acquiescence with hand
laundry strategies. To regulate the hand sanitation (HH)
amenability rate amongst healthcare workforces (HCWs) and its
outcome on the nosocomial impurity level in the ICU of the
clinic, the people conducted interventional research. The study
covered a passé of 7 months (January 2011-January 2011) and
7. comprised of education round HH suggestions and systems,
workroom reminder reproductions, attentive group meetings,
and criticism on the HH submission and contamination duties.
Study #4 Nursing Research Study in the USA
Registered nurses starting this Multi-State healthcare attention
plus Patient Safety report. The nurses at our survey worked at
577 hospitals in California, New Jersey, university, and FL.
This example included at least ten nannies per hospital with an
average of 39 nurses per hospital (this variety cost 10 “205).
The whole explanation of the multi-State report is available
elsewhere, 17 with that on-line technological postscript includes
explanations of these sampling methods we used.18 we included
at our investigation nurse respondents at this Multi-State report
who accounted for running 1“ 24 hrs on their last shift and
providing care to at least one but fewer than twenty patients.
These choice measures were planned to elimi- Nate nurses who
were not running now among patients, including all those at
supervisory or on call characters. These analyses were far
limited to all nurses
The fourth experiment was based on the examination of the
private clinics and their measures on hand hygiene techniques.
Nosocomial infections are frequently viewed as indicating poor
compliance with hand washing guidelines. The purpose of this
study was to examine the compliance guidelines that are used in
the treatment and also through the identification of factors that
can help individuals to clean their hands. The hypothesis for
this research is the importance of clinical guidelines in guiding
an individual to have clean hands. To decide the hand hygiene
(HH) fulfillment rate in the midst of healthcare employees
(HCWs) in addition to its effect on the nonsocial infection rates
within the ICU of our hospital, we conducted an interventional
research. The research spanned a period of 7 months (Anderson,
et al 2015). The findings of the research demonstrated that
clinical findings can be used in the treatment of individual’s
hands so as to improve their individual health and welfare. This
8. is one of the most credible studies conducted because the
arguments made in the findings were authentic and based on the
researched experiments.
Data Analysis
The research nurse examines several aspects of the care industry
with the ultimate purpose of improving patient outcomes. Nurse
investigators have specialized knowledge of sciences, scientific
research, and data collection and investigation, additionally to
their basic healthcare education and an RN license. Nurse
researchers frequently plan their own surveys, secure support,
use their research, and gather and analyze their findings. They
may also help in the recruitment of survey participants and give
primary patient attention to participants while conducting their
investigation. When the research work has been completed,
nurse researchers report their findings to different nurses,
physicians, and medical researchers through published articles,
research studies, and business speech opportunities (Houser,
2016).
Major Findings
Correct hand hygiene is important at the prevention of cross-
contamination. Failure to do so will result in the transmission of
patients, chronic hospital stays, and the demand of hospital
resources. Studies have indicated that if every physician, nurse,
and care person washed their hands between every case, the rate
of hospital infections could change dramatically. Careful hand-
washing, coupled with the use of key’s fully-sealed Slim-Key-
MD device, will help make harmful infections at bay.
Conclusion
To sum it up, health care is reaching into the home-based
progressively frequently and connecting a mixture of persons, a
change of jobs, and a wide-ranging variety of devices and
know-how; it also happens in a series of inhabited surroundings.
The features powerful to this immigration comprise the rising
9. prices of giving health care; the mounting amounts of older
grown-ups; the cumulative commonness of chronic illness;
better-quality survival degrees of numerous illnesses, wounds,
and other disorders (comprising those of brittle newborns); big
numbers of experts inveterate from conflict with solemn
injuries. Health care problems have made both the U.S.A and
other government agencies to set aside most of the revenues/
money towards health centers. Therefore, this is due to that
there are those deadly diseases which need to be eliminated as
quickly as possible through taking further measures towards it.
Poverty another aspect, so government tries to provide a lot of
amenities towards public health centers

credibility of its findings. Hand laundry is broadly
acknowledged as the keystone of the infection mechanism in the
intensive care unit (ICU). Nosocomial contaminations are
regularly viewed as demonstrating poor acquiescence with hand
laundry strategies. To regulate the hand sanitation (HH)
16. amenability rate amongst healthcare workforces (HCWs) and its
outcome on the nosocomial impurity level in the ICU of the
clinic, the people conducted interventional research. The study
covered a passé of 7 months (January 2011-January 2011) and
comprised of education round HH suggestions and systems,
workroom reminder reproductions, attentive group meetings,
and criticism on the HH submission and contamination duties.
Study #4 Nursing Research Study in the USA
Registered nurses starting this Multi-State healthcare attention
plus Patient Safety report. The nurses at our survey worked at
577 hospitals in California, New Jersey, university, and FL.
This example included at least ten nannies per hospital with an
average of 39 nurses per hospital (this variety cost 10 “205).
The whole explanation of the multi-State report is available
elsewhere, 17 with that on-line technological postscript includes
explanations of these sampling methods we used.18 we included
at our investigation nurse respondents at this Multi-State report
who accounted for running 1“ 24 hrs on their last shift and
providing care to at least one but fewer than twenty patients.
These choice measures were planned to elimi- Nate nurses who
were not running now among patients, including all those at
supervisory or on call characters. These analyses were far
limited to all nurses
The fourth experiment was based on the examination of the
private clinics and their measures on hand hygiene techniques.
Nosocomial infections are frequently viewed as indicating poor
compliance with hand washing guidelines. The purpose of this
study was to examine the compliance guidelines that are used in
the treatment and also through the identification of factors that
can help individuals to clean their hands. The hypothesis for
this research is the importance of clinical guidelines in guiding
an individual to have clean hands. To decide the hand hygiene
(HH) fulfillment rate in the midst of healthcare employees
(HCWs) in addition to its effect on the nonsocial infection rates
within the ICU of our hospital, we conducted an interventional
17. research. The research spanned a period of 7 months (Anderson,
et al 2015). The findings of the research demonstrated that
clinical findings can be used in the treatment of individual’s
hands so as to improve their individual health and welfare. This
is one of the most credible studies conducted because the
arguments made in the findings were authentic and based on the
researched experiments.
Data Analysis
The research nurse examines several aspects of the care industry
with the ultimate purpose of improving patient outcomes. Nurse
investigators have specialized knowledge of sciences, scientific
research, and data collection and investigation, additionally to
their basic healthcare education and an RN license. Nurse
researchers frequently plan their own surveys, secure support,
use their research, and gather and analyze their findings. They
may also help in the recruitment of survey participants and give
primary patient attention to participants while conducting their
investigation. When the research work has been completed,
nurse researchers report their findings to different nurses,
physicians, and medical researchers through published articles,
research studies, and business speech opportunities (Houser,
2016).
Major Findings
Correct hand hygiene is important at the prevention of cross-
contamination. Failure to do so will result in the transmission of
patients, chronic hospital stays, and the demand of hospital
resources. Studies have indicated that if every physician, nurse,
and care person washed their hands between every case, the rate
of hospital infections could change dramatically. Careful hand-
washing, coupled with the use of key’s fully-sealed Slim-Key-
MD device, will help make harmful infections at bay.
Conclusion
To sum it up, health care is reaching into the home-based
18. progressively frequently and connecting a mixture of persons, a
change of jobs, and a wide-ranging variety of devices and
know-how; it also happens in a series of inhabited surroundings.
The features powerful to this immigration comprise the rising
prices of giving health care; the mounting amounts of older
grown-ups; the cumulative commonness of chronic illness;
better-quality survival degrees of numerous illnesses, wounds,
and other disorders (comprising those of brittle newborns); big
numbers of experts inveterate from conflict with solemn
injuries. Health care problems have made both the U.S.A and
other government agencies to set aside most of the revenues/
money towards health centers. Therefore, this is due to that
there are those deadly diseases which need to be eliminated as
quickly as possible through taking further measures towards it.
Poverty another aspect, so government tries to provide a lot of
amenities towards public health centers
