They could see that nursing staffs were spread more thinly in some hospitals than others. They knew that nurses believe they provide valuable, sometimes life-saving services.
The authors connected their issue directly to nursing practice and the quality of patient care. They found that when nurses were responsible for more than six patients, mortality rose 7% and nurse burnout rose 25%. Based on their research, they predicted that 20,000 more patients would die if nursing ratios in hospitals rose from 4:1 to 8:1.

The authors predict that nursing will have to be seen as the vitally important role it truly is before hospitals will realize that cutting nursing staff cannot save money without putting patients at risk. They noted some changes going on in the nursing profession right now including significant numbers of nurses approaching retirement age and technological advances, which increase the demand for nurses to run and monitor this…...

Knowledge and learning is for me at the base of any process and I have dedicated most of my life to both. My initial preference for Physics, where I have obtained a B. Sc. With honors was directed towards a better understanding of the material world we live in and at how we can master the environment in order to achieve the best results from our interaction with it. However, in time, I was more and more attracted by the financial markets and issues that seem to govern our society more and more. In the beginning a hobby and an interest, it became more and more of a passion. I have gained over the years an increasingly high interest in financial econometrics, incomplete market theory and statistical properties of price fluctuation in financial time series, gaining the conscience that a better understanding of these issues will help…...

One particular adverse effect of the drug is that it may result in gastrointestinal disturbances, and thereby affect the individual's metabolism. (17) e) How does metabolism influence clearance, bioactivity and elimination?
At times, the metabolism does tend to affect the absorption and the clearance of the drug from the system. For example, the changes in the INR or the International Normalized Ratio may happen in certain patients who have been receiving oral anticoagulants, with antibiotics, such as oxifloxacin. The age, the state of the infectious disease, and so on are all risk factors. However, the drug does not interfere with the 1A2 subtypes of cytochrome P450 enzymes, and in the same way, there was no significant effect on apparent body clearance and also on the…...

One must not forget this is indeed a progressive disease; thus as it worsens and the pH gets higher, "the PaO2 and the PaCO2… for example, the PaCO2 reaches 20 mm Hg and the pH reaches 7.60" (MEE, 2012). Thus, the lungs gets to a progressively worse state where they're unable to get rid of excess carbon dioxide; the PaCO2 elevates and pH plummets as well, but the PaO2 also plummets; as an asthma attack worsens the rock-bottom level PaCO2 and the elevated pH start to fall again (MEE, 2012).
In the case scenario that we're examining, the patient's factor of age could have a direct impact on how the disease is manifests. Childhood allergies could mean that the disease progresses more rapidly, and that the child is more vulnerable to certain irritants.

It is only a guess what extremophile might be found next.
There are several advantages, and notable disadvantages in terms of the extreme habitats in which these organisms reside. First, and foremost, there is no competition. There are virtually no threats from predators, which is the most common problem for life on earth. Much research has suggested that the existence of extremophiles may have allowed for the beginnings of life on earth to start. According to research, "Their study not only shows us how life functions at what we consider environmental extremes, but also teaches us much about the nature of life itself and about the possible properties of the first organisms that colonized planet Earth at a time when conditions were far more extreme," (ainey 2006:2). However, there are disadvantages. The extreme conditions do limit the evolution of the species living there. Based on the demanding needs of the…...

Ralph Nader is one of the most famously incorruptible characters in modern American history. Born of Lebanese immigrant parents, Nader obtained an exceptionally good education, and then single-mindedly took on the entire automotive industry's dangerous automobile designs. After Nader's initial victory and fame from Unsafe at any Speed, he was certainly not a "one-hit wonder," prolifically writing more than ten books dedicated to enhancing the public good, and founding several key organizations that doggedly fight for that same public good. Unfortunately, famous people are often subject to forces that tear them down; Nader's popularity was damaged by his Presidential campaign of 2000. As a result of the Republican election to the hite House, Nader is alienated from the very people who would normally support him. His explanation of the 2000 Presidential bid dovetails with the personality and dedication that was once widely admired.

Viability of Coconut Production and Sales in the Philippines
Marketing and Trade

A World Leading Producer

Coconuts are grown and sold mostly as copra and in fresh form (UNCTAD 2009). Most of the big coconut producers process the copra themselves and extract the oil in their own oil mills. Of the total exports from coconuts, copra accounts for only 4% and the rest is coconut oil. There has been a large demand for coconut oil exports in the two decades for its high lauric fatty acid content. Only a little more than 2 million tons were supplied to the world market in 2008. In this year, the Philippines supplied the most at 42%, mostly to the U.S.A. And Europe at 24% and 25% of their imports, respectively. International organizations provide preferential tariffs and price support for these imports from the Pacific in order to encourage them About 279,000 tons of desiccated coconuts were…...

Because of the est's "strong influence and forceful implication of their civilization, the locals' forms of expression on national issues and self-consciousness were replaced through political essays, novels, poems and religious prose -- a form of learning, however, that led to ultimate awakening of Filipinos regarding the unreasonable colonial rule in the country. Famous examples of these Spanish-adapted writings are the novels of Jose Rizal, El Filibusterismo and Noli Me Tangere" ("Philippine Literature," Camper's Point, 2007).
Freedom, liberation, and establishing an identity apart from those who would eradicate the national heritage and faith of the nation thus became a dominant theme in Philippine literature, relatively early in its gestation. Even the ethno-epics became subject to the pressures of colonization. For example; "The Agyu or Olahing of the Manobos is a three part epic that narrate[s] the exploits of the hero as he leads his people who have been driven out…...

Schizophrenia
Symptoms of schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is perhaps the most harsh and cruel mental disorder because it gives the sufferers views and insights of reality that are extremely uncommon and psychotic. People suffering from schizophrenia tend to hear unusual voices from within and also feel afraid, mystified, nervous and apprehensive on a consistent basis (Taken from; Janssen-Cilag http://www.psychiatry24x7.com/index.jhtml?product=schizophrenia).

Onset and course

Many people believe that people suffering from Schizophrenia actually have "split personalities," however; contemporary research has negated this theory asserting that people experiencing Schizophrenia actually suffer from distorted reality, in laymen's terms (Taken from; Janssen-Cilag http://www.psychiatry24x7.com/index.jhtml?product=schizophrenia).

"Approximately 1% of the population develops schizophrenia during their lifetime -- more than 2 million Americans suffer from the illness in a given year. Although schizophrenia affects men and women with equal frequency, the disorder often appears earlier in men, usually in the late teens or early twenties, than in women, who are generally affected in the twenties to…...

Educational Philosophy Comparison: John Dewey vs. William Bagley
There have always been philosophical battles between progressive thinkers and conservative thinkers when it comes to the education of America's children. Those wars were waged in the 18th, 19th, and 20th Centuries, and educators from both sides, and some in the middle or the far left or far right, are still involved in the same philosophical scrimmages today. It's healthy though, to look back at two of the brightest minds in the development of the American educational structure, the classic progressive John Dewey, and the quintessential conservative William Chandler Bagley, and examine what they had to say. Many of their debating points are as poignant and pertinent today as back then.

To develop a thesis statement, the first thing you'll need to do is determine what kind of paper you're writing. It will be either expository (explain something to the reader), argumentative (make and justify a claim), or analytical (break down and evaluate an issue). The type of paper you're writing will affect the content of your thesis statement, which should be very specific. The main issue you'll cover in your paper should be listed in your statement, and should be backed up with proper evidence. Generally, the statement will appear at the very end of the paper's first paragraph. As....

To argue against animal abuse, you want your thesis to clearly state that you're against it and why. Your opinion should be a part of the thesis statement, but you want to be careful to actually present arguable, logical points, as well. You could say you're against animal abuse for a number of reasons. For example, some common ones are that animals feel both physical and emotional pain (abuse is cruel), that animals can't defend themselves and people should care for them because of their innocent nature, and that animal abuse can lead to further deviant and criminal behavior -....
