Findings Findings: Nurses just as non-nursing Medication Technicians with the same training were just as likely to have medication errors. However in order to be successful in medication administration is to continue with ongoing training and evaluate each incident. With the automated multi-dose packaging and dispensing system‚ capable of accommodating 14- or 30-day cycle filling this

an undesirable result. Both William Lyon Phelps and Bertrand Russell strongly support their stance on the difference between certainty and doubt. Phelps is opinionated towards certainty; he supports an optimistic lifestyle and believes that “the absolute sense of certainty...can get [anyone] to accomplish virtually anything” (Phelps). On the contrary‚ Russel has a more realistic view of life; he understands that our world lacks guaranteed perfection and by “[entertaining] our opinions with some measure

Introduction to Measurements & Error Analysis The Uncertainty of Measurements Some numerical statements are exact: Mary has 3 brothers‚ and 2 + 2 = 4. However‚ all measurements have some degree of uncertainty that may come from a variety of sources. The process of evaluating this uncertainty associated with a measurement result is often called uncertainty analysis or error analysis. The complete statement of a measured value should include an estimate of the level of confidence associated

Percentage composition by mass of magnesium oxide – Report Objective: To measure and calculate the ratio of magnesium to oxygen in magnesium oxide. To compare the lab ratio to the percent composition calculation based on the formula. Hypothesis: Based on the law of definite proportions‚ the percentage composition of magnesium oxide should be around 60% magnesium and 40% oxygen. Materials: * Goggles * Centigram or analytical balance * 2-4 cm magnesium ribbon

responsibility. When a medication error occurs‚ ethical issues such as a loss of human dignity‚ fidelity and beneficence also occur‚ which leads to patient dissatisfaction and mistrust. Social issues often interplay with any sort of medical error as well. Medication errors often result in damaged social relations such as the nurse-patient relationship and the healthcare system’s image. When nurses make a medication error they are obligated to report their mistake to the charge nurse‚ the patient

Law and Absolute Zero Date of experiment: November 4‚ 2010 Date submitted: November 11‚ 2010 Introduction: As per Charles’ Law‚ there is a linear relationship between the temperature and volume of a gas. Charles discovered that -273°C is the point at which a gas has no volume. Since that’s as cold as he thought things could ever get‚ that originated the idea of absolute zero. In this experiment‚ Charles’ Law was applied and made into data to determine an experimental value for Absolute Zero.

The two properties of integer arithmetic are as follows a) Result of any arithmetic operation is an integer b) Result is always exact with two exceptions • Range of integer that can be represented is not infinite but is bounded above and below. • The result of the division operation is given as the combination of the quotient

Medical Errors Medical errors are avoidable negative effects of care‚ which can be harmful to a patient. These errors can vary from giving the wrong treatment to a disease‚ injury‚ syndrome‚ behavior‚ or infection a patient might have. Nurses play one of the most important roles in the avoidance of occurring medical errors. By doing their job correctly they can prevent the errors from happening and potentially hurting or killing a patient. Decimal errors‚ trailing zero errors and abbreviation errors

Absolute Zero. Aim: i) To find the relationship between Temperature and Volume when heating a gas. ii) To find the of absolute zero temperature‚ i.e. 0 Kelvin (-273.15°C). Variables: Dependant Variable: Volume Independent Variable: Temperature Hypothesis: The volume of the water will increase as temperature increases‚ since the distance of the particles in the water between each other increases‚ making the water "expand"‚ increasing the volume of the water.
