This essay will explore the nurse’s professional responsibility for safeguarding vulnerable patients. It will identify vulnerabilities specific to Blanche‚ a ninety year old lady with medical and physical problems (appendix 1). Other issues such as patient rights‚ autonomy and accountability will be discussed. It will consider the nurses professional behaviour and interventions to support Blanche. The Department of Health (DH‚ 2000a‚ p.8) define a vulnerable adult as a person over eighteen

http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmedia/circmot/rcd.cfm What is ‘g force’ in physics? G‚ in physics‚ a symbol relating to gravity. A capital G indicates the gravitational constant‚ as explained in the article GRAVITATION. A lower-case g stands for the acceleration imparted by gravity at the earth’s surface. An acceleration of 1 g is 32. 1 feet per second per second (9.8 m/s2). Fliers and astronauts may experience accelerations many times larger than 1 g. These accelerations are usually expressed

ULTRASOUND PHYSICS Name Institution a) Calculate the Acoustic impedance of subcutaneous tissue‚ muscle and bone. Assume subcutaneous tissue has a density of 1060kg/m3 (Hedrick 2003)‚ muscle has a density of 1104kg/m3 (Madjor 2008) and bone has a density of 5065kg/m3 (Hedrick 2003). Give your answer in Mrayls. Please use speed of sound as 1540m/s for tissue‚ muscle and bone In ultrasound‚ Acoustic impedance (Z) is the quantity of measurement of resistance to sound when passing through a medium

1) A 4-kg mass moving with speed 2 m/s‚ and a 2-kg mass moving with a speed of 4 m/s‚ are gliding over a horizontal frictionless surface. Both objects encounter the same horizontal force‚ which directly opposes their motion‚ and are brought to rest by it. Which statement best describes their respective stopping distances? (A) The 4-kg mass travels twice as far as the 2-kg mass before stopping. (B) The 2-kg mass travels twice as far as the 4-kg mass before stopping. (C) Both masses travel the

A Usability Study for Promoting E-Content in Higher Education. Electronic content or e-content is defined by creating‚ providing‚ and distributing information as a digitized content. It is produced and stored electronically rather than in printed form. E-contents use in education can be in the form of e-journals‚ e-books‚ e-research reports‚ e-lecture modules‚ e-lecture notes and e-lecture slides. E-content has a huge potential in future education.

Laboratory determination of water (moisture) content of a soil sample by oven drying method Reference: ASTM D2216-98 Need and scope of the experiment: In almost all soil tests natural moisture content of the soil is to be determined. The knowledge of the natural moisture content is essential in all studies of soil mechanics. To sight a few‚ natural moisture content is used in determining the bearing capacity and settlement. The natural moisture content will give an idea of the state of soil in

If we apply the highly successful kinetic theory of gases to a metal‚ consider as a gas of electrons (in fact‚ back in 1900 Drude constructed the theory‚ hence the Drude theory of metals)‚ and assume that the electron velocity distribution is given by the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution‚ what would the most probable speed‚ average speed‚ and rms speed for electrons at room temperature
