LITERATURE REVIEW Compassion fatigue is a more recent concept and has been studied primarily in nonnursing groups. It’s more common among health care workers than those in education or working with children and family issues. In two studies‚ nurses who cared for people affected by the 2004 hurricane season in Florida either in the emergency room or other deployments were found as groups to have low risk of compassion fatigue (Alexander‚ 2006; Frank & Adkinson‚ 2007). In a more recent study

Skeletal muscle moves because we want it to. It is controlled voluntarily (consciously). There is 2 types of contraction Isometric: As the muscle contracts‚ it remains the same length whilst the tension increases in an attempt to overcome the opposing force. Example: Holding a glass of water still in front of you. Isotonic: As the muscle contracts its length changes whilst the tension remains constant or develops to overcome the opposing force. Example: Lifting a glass of water to your mount and

YAWNING Physiology‚ Theories and Contagiousness First‚ let’s look at what this bodily motion is: Yawning is an involuntary action that causes us to open our mouths wide and breathe in deeply. We know it’s involuntary because we do it even before we’re born: According to Robert Provine‚ a developmental neuroscientist at the University of Maryland‚ Baltimore County‚ research has shown that 11-week-old fetuses yawn. And while yawning is commonly associated with relaxation and drowsiness‚ your heart

Fatigue Crack Propagation Basically‚ fatigue crack propagation can be divided into three stages: stage I (short cracks)‚ stage II (long cracks) and stage III (final fracture). • Stage I: Once initiated‚ a fatigue crack propagates along high shear stress planes (45 degrees)‚ as schematically represented in Fig. 1. This is known as stage I or the short crack growth propagation stage. The crack propagates until it is decelerated by a microstructural barrier such as a grain boundary‚ inclusions‚

1. Consider the equation F = DP/R. It describes the flow (F) of fluid in a tube in which there is a pressure difference (DP) between the two ends and a resistance (R) to flow. The equation indicates that(2.0 Score ) A.the flow of fluid from point A to point B in a tube depends upon the difference in pressure between A and B. B.the flow of fluid in a tube depends upon the absolute pressure at the beginning of the tube. C.the greater the resistance to flow in a tube‚ the greater the flow for any

(Tappen‚ 2016). As I thought about problems that occur in my work environment several issues came to mind. A phenomenon called alarm fatigue caused me the greatest concern on my unit. It is a topic that has been studied with published evidence-based solutions‚ however it continues to be a problem. Despite compelling evidence and solutions to the problem‚ alarm fatigue remains a subject that has the attention of healthcare leaders and
