Since Sara has been practicing and giving medications independently, the manager should follow up with Sara’s preceptor to assess her clinical based orientation competencies. Also, determine if Sara followed policies, procedures, and protocols in regards to medication administration of the…

Because of the differences in culture a nurse must continue to explain any assessment carried out on a child even when the child looks away or does not show eye contact with the nurse. The nurse should communicate with the parent first when dealing with a preschool aged patient or a toddler and this must be done in front of the child. This is done to gain the trust of the child before any medical procedure can be done. The nurse should always explain and give reasons to why the school aged child need a procedure to be carried out on him or her. For example, an asthmatic child may be scared of the nebulizing equipment but a nurse explained to him that the he will be able to breath better afterwards, the child will allow him or her to proceed with the treatment. This is because it will allow the child to see that the parent has accepted the treatment of the nurse and trusts them so the child should do the same. The parent will also be providing all of the health history for this age group children as well. The nurse should always have the parent in the room when talking to the child, this makes the child feel more comfortable. The nurse should familiar with the child’s way of communicating pain, before the treatment starts. Also, there are some treatments where the child will…

The Great Awakening was a watershed event in the life of the American people. Before it was over, it had swept the colonies of the Eastern seaboard, transforming the social and religious life of land. Although the name is slightly misleading--the Great Awakening was not one continuous revival, rather it was several revivals in a variety of locations--it says a great deal about the state of religion in the colonies. For the simple reality is that one cannot be awakened unless you have fallen asleep.…
