    In Aberdeen when someone commits a crime, either felony or misdemeanor, they are usually prosecuted by the State of South Dakota. For example when someone gets their indictment, or other court paperwork, it should say at the top: State of South Dakota vs _________. Since the State is doing the prosecuting instead of the city or county, each county has their own state’s attorney’s office. This is similar to the materials discussed in class. In the book it refers to district or county attorneys; those prosecutors much like ours are elected, and prosecute crimes committed in that county. The Brown County State’s Attorney office currently has five lawyers, and four legal aids. One of those lawyers is the state’s attorney, one is the chief deputy, and the other three are regular deputy attorneys. An average salary for a state’s attorney is between $75,000-80,000; while the total budget for the whole office is approximately $700,000.…

    One main reason that a Homeland Security Assessment needs to be conducted for an organization is to protect their infrastructure. The need for this assessment would be more crucial if an organization was identified as a high risk of being a potential target. Organizations that would fall under this umbrella would include but are not limited to “sea and water ports, airports, gas pipelines, sewer and power plants as well as biological or chemical facilities” (Fisher, 2014). In this day and time, we can also add educational facilities to this list, as there have been several attacks on universities that were believed to have been terrorist related.…

    This week in clinical I was assigned a patient with contact precaution. I had never taken care of a patient who was on contact precaution, so I became very terrified. I didn’t know what to expect. I walked into the room wearing my PPE, shaking and expecting for the patient to be miserable because they are in a room alone and everyone that meets them has to wear that yellow gown. To my surprise, the patient was opposite of what I was thinking. The patient’s positive attitude, small stories, and funny personality greatly helped in reducing my trepidations of working first time with contact precaution patient. We first took vital signs of the patient, then we did am care (bed bath and changing linens), and then we did a dressing change. My patient…
