The NCLB program has become an aging debate. Based on which end of the spectrum you are on will skew your thinking on rather this new law hampers or helps the children of the future. Has this new law reduced the numbers of drop out students, increased graduation readiness and improved strategies to main stream students into either college or career? The answer is yes. Under the federal act, every student was supposed to test on grade level in reading and math by 2014 at 100 percent proficiency.…
Thank you for contacting us. We're currently working with Dr. Stacy Johnson to automate the process of identifying PE and DVT patient cohort. For the PE task, we want to determine whether a patient has PE or not, if so, whether the PE is acute or chronic and its artery level. For the DVT task, we want to determine whether a patient has VT or not, superficial or deep, proximal or distal, acute or chronic, left or right, upper limbs or lower limbs. For both tasks, we also want to determine if the report impression is certain or uncertain.…
In order to be professional when working with children it is important to develop important characteristics. These include: Self-awareness It is important to know yourself and to be able to identify your strengths and weaknesses, both in terms of your abilities and personality. You may for example recognise that when you are nervous you talk too quickly and so when it comes to working with children and adults you need to work on that. Empathy Empathy is about the ability to see something from another person’s point of view.…
Everyone should be treated with dignity. For example you could listen to the child, include them in conversations, and make them feel safe. The child might not sense it as much as an adult but the parents and everyone in the workplace will show that you think the child is worthy and valued and not to be different for who they are. During my work placement I can follow all these ways to take dignity and respect into account in all physical care routines even if I’m just watching or helping out…

Objectives The overall objective of the full study is to determine if ALL survivors are at increased risk for postural control deficits compared to healthy age-matched individuals. The specific aims and hypotheses for this project are: Aim 1: Compare postural control in ALL survivors to healthy age-matched individuals.…

Assignment 6: Successful Aging A) Article Summary "Definition of Successful Aging by Canadian Males" gives a glimpse into the idea of successful aging. It informs us that that the idea of successful aging dates back to 44BC in an essay by Cicero. However, the western definition comes from a 1944 decision of the American Social Science Research Council. The study of successful age has been divided in the two groups: clinical standards and psychosocial theories. Numerous studies on the concept of successful aging discussed in the article.…
Health Care Need With an influx of older patients due to the baby boomer generation, I can predict that there will be a increase in the amount of patient care we will have to deliver to a vastly aging population. Not only that, but due to increased medical technology and advances in medicine, people are living longer and surviving injuries at better outcomes and rates. What does this mean for us? We are the next wave of nurses that are going to be employed at facilities that are going to care for these patients. This presents both an opportunity and crisis for younger, newer nurses.…

Throughout this paper I will explore and analyze various reasons as to why the 28-year-old patient has the right to refuse the PEG feeding tube surgery along with further medical treatment. Although this refusal has lead her medical team to feel guilty, proper information and respect of autonomy must triumph over personal emotions. One may argue that the doctors in her team took an oath to do no harm, however prolonging her suffering and overriding her wishes is a form of harm to the patient. Rather than insisting on the surgery, the medical team should provide her proper understanding of the consequences of her action. Furthermore, each individual should look at her situation in a moralistic standpoint.…

Let’s face it, we can’t stop the aging process and along with it are possibilities of health problems like Type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. Skin becomes drier and thinner with age, leading to wrinkles and fine lines, loss of elasticity and firmness, dull skin, and increased pigmentation. But sometimes, our body shows aging signs sooner that we expect. There are several factors that contribute to this occurrence.…
