Grade analysis results show that school success in Croatian and English is very good, but through years of schooling that success slowly decreases. This is especially emphasized in the fourth grade, where the fall in success is the most obvious. Teachers attribute that to the development phase that children are in. Moreover, they say it is due to more difficult curriculum in the fourth grade.…
This is when there isn’t enough EMS personnel or equipment like medical supplies or ambulance to deal with the number of patients or the severities of the casualties. To manage a MCI, an organizational system known as triage is performed to find out which patients get treatment first under the goal of doing the highest-level of good for the greatest amount of people. Therefore in this system spending 10 minutes resuscitating a critically injured patient is discouraged/avoided, so medical responders can treat multiple people in the same amount of time instead. This goes again the training of an EMT, whose instinct is to treat the patient with the worst injure first. This ethical judgement call of who to treat first is made difficult when friends and family of the severely injured beg for you to help their loved one, but you have to move to move on to the next person because their injuries are too severe like open head wound or cardiac arrest.…
Some tasks for nurses is to listen well to others. This is important because they need to write on records for how patients are doing and how they feel. They provide care to patients and give them information about medicines, health conditions, symptoms, and more. Nurses may help Doctors by performing diagnostic tests, recording information, and operating equipment. They can also help Surgeons by handing tools such as peripheral intravenous catheters, medical suction or vacuum…

After collecting the results from the blood sugars the nurse must chart the results, and prepare the proper amoun, and type of insulin to each resident to ensure that they can function normally throughout the day. The next step in a nurse’s routine might include helping to feed the residents. The nurses are not only helping the residents eat they are observing for any out of the ordinary issues while eating, such as swallowing difficulties, aspiration, and choking while monitoring the residents intake also. After lunch is complete the nurse usually does wound care. Wound care is pretty much as it sounds treating a wound by cleaning the affected area and packing it with gauze and properly wrapping it up to keep it clean and dry so the skin doesn’t have any more breakdown or infection. Residents in a nursing facility fall quite frequently. When a resident falls the nurse stops whatever they are doing and attends to the person on the floor. The nurse comes in to the resident’s room and witnesses them on the ground. The nurse must establish why or how this happened. The nurse must also administer neuro checks which may include cardinal gazes, looking at pupils to see if they are round and equidistant, or belinski test which is when you run a pen up the foot to see if there is a reaction. These are just a few things that a nurse may do during the day. Nurses have many important duties besides giving shots and taking…
Registered Nurses (RNs) comprise the largest group of healthcare workers. To become an RN, students must learn what it takes to work directly with patients and their families. They are the primary point of contact between the patient and the world of health care, both at the bedside and in out-patient settings. RNs perform frequent patient evaluations, including monitoring and tracking vital signs, performing procedures such as IV placement, phlebotomy, and administering medications. Because the RN is much more regular contact with patients than are physicians, the RN is usually first to notice problems or raise concerns about patient progress.…
