Explain the ethical implications of a breach of confidentiality. The ethical consequences of a breach of confidentiality can actually have a considerable effect on both the patient and the nurse and create ethical dilemmas. Information disclosure can occasion problems on a legal‚ professional and personal level (Marquis & Huston‚ 2009). In nursing‚ the ethical requirement for confidentiality is very important‚ because of the need to set up mutual trust between patients and nurses. When this association

the principles and boundaries of confidentiality are to do with safeguarding children and young people. The principle - or main reason for having confidentiality in settings is to maintain positive‚ supportive‚ respectful relationships with children and young people that recognises each individual’s right to privacy‚ their right to protection and their right to free expression. This could be done by finding quiet less public areas for discussing information‚ ensuring information given within a setting

Industries were still standing in America; they were actually richer and more powerful than before World War I. So what was so different in the 1930’s? The Great Depression replaced those carefree years into ones of turmoil and despair. The decade after the First World War saw tremendous change. Progressivism was a leading factor of World War I and in the 1920’s the evidence can be seen. Industries were making their products at an increasing rate. Products that were not populous before World War I were

oxidation-reduction reactions. The first part of the experiment measures the standard electrode potentials of five various half cells against the Cu2+(1M)|Cu half cell. The last three half cells are prepared through electrolysis. The electrode potentials of all reactions are positive which means that they are spontaneous. There is a significant percent difference from the theoretical and the experimental standard electrode potentials. The sources of error are incorrect solution preparation and contaminated materials

are kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy a moving object has because of its motion. The kinetic energy of a moving object depends on the object’s mass and its speed. The kinetic energy of a moving object can be calculated from this equation: Kinetic energy (in joules) = ½ mass (in kg) x [speed (in m/s)]² KE= ½ mv² In this equation ^‚ the symbol v represents speed. Example Find the kinetic energy of the ball having mass 0‚5 kg and velocity 10m/s. Ek=1/2mv² Ek=1/2

Investigating the Water Potential of a Potato. I have been asked to investigate the water potential of a potato. During my investigation I will not actually be able to measure a value for‚ as it is a pressure value (kPa). Osmosis is a special form of diffusion involving only water molecules. It is defined as "The passage of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential through a partially permeable membrane" Definition of Water Potential.

Prior to the fight for independence in Cuba‚ American businessmen already occupied the island for cheap labor in order to harvest sugar cane in the tropical Cuban climate. However‚ in 1868‚ growing tension between Cuba and Spain caused for the public opinion of Americans to be split: American business men being in favor of Spain in order to protect their investments‚ and other Americans favoring the Cuban cause for independence.

Over time‚ many historical events have occurred‚ such as Jesse Owens defying Adolf Hitler at the 1936 Olympics hosted in Germany‚ an unlikely friendship between Luz Long and Jesse Owens‚ and the black power salute in 1968. American athlete Jesse Owens had the choice to take on Hitler and Nazi Germany or boycott Berlin. Of course‚ Jesse accepted going to go the Olympics and blasted his path into history.
