Hourly Rounding & Fall Precaution Falls are a common occurrence among medical‚ surgical and elderly patients in hospitals. One of the largest categories of reported adverse events in hospitals are patient falls‚ which are estimated to cost more than $20 billion a year. (2010 Lippincott Williams &Wilkins‚ Inc.) Prevention is the best method to decrease the number of falls and reduce hospital cost and increase patient satisfaction. One of the best ways to prevent falls is patient hourly rounding

The yearly Nile flood happened due to heavy summer rains far away to the south in the highlands that typically occurred around September. Rivers from these areasflowed into the Nile. Each year‚ the floodwaters deposited new fertile silt into natural basins. Farmers did not have to add fertilizer to the soil. After the water soaked into the earth in the late fall‚ farmers cast seeds onto the rich soil and turned it over with wooden plows pulled by oxen. Nature did the rest until it was time to harvest

cause for drought. The state government has taken a right action by implementing water rationing on two days interval at affected areas. Although water rationing can help to conserve water in the dams‚ it could not solve drought problems forever. Severe drought brings greatest impact on agricultural activities because water scarcity account for 70% of potential yield loses worldwide (Boyer‚ 1982). Biotechnology could be a permanent solution for this problem with the development of drought-tolerant

This is the fourth year of the great drought and scientists say it will be the worst drought in 1‚200 years. The negative effects of this drought is that fields will go fallow‚ forests will catch fire‚ and wells will come up dry. California is already having some of these effects (maybe). California has underwent a mandatory water rationing for cities in the state. Even though California is going through tough times right now‚ it won’t last forever. Rain and snow from the high Sierra will return

Fixing California Drought In an attempt to find a solution that would best resolve the water drought crisis in California‚ we’ve all heard how we could apply technology such as desalination or green-friendly practices such as water conservation. Finding those who divert water wrongfully is just as challenging as it is to preserve the precious resource. Tough statewide regulations have been already rolled out this year in a bid to punish those who misuse it. Under the emergency conservation restrictions

If you didn’t know California is in a major drought. It isn’t like half of California it’s 100% of California. It is so bad that farmers have stopped receiving water to water their plants. Even most of the reservoirs in California are only half full. This is the third year with a California drought. A lot of the food we make like tomatoes‚ almonds‚ and broccoli are being affected too. California produces 90% of all the United states tomatoes‚ 95% of the Nation’s broccoli‚ and 99% of the Nation’s
