    For the well being of the hospital and primarily, the patient. The focus of future research should be on possible barriers and interventions for decreasing the time before the first ambulation.

    Hospital acquired pressure ulcers are a large concern for any hospital facility due to treatment costs, reimbursement issues, and increase patient morbidity. The skin or underlying tissue becomes damaged by intense pressure when a patient has decreased mobility and is unable to move or change positions themselves. Common areas of skin damage related to pressure occur over bony areas such as the back, heels, hips, and sacrum. Pressure ulcers graded stage III or IV, are considered preventable never-events by Medicaid and Medicare, meaning they will not cover additional hospital costs associated with acquired pressure wounds.…

    According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) (2012), outcome measures are defined by three major National Organizations such as The Joint Commission (TJC), Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and the National Association for Health Care Quality (NAHQ). The standard must be accommodated to meet three goals: safety of care, patients experience, and the effectiveness of care (IOM, 2012). Patient Reported Outcome Measures are powerful tools that use a validated questionnaire to reflect patient’s experience throughout the hospitalization and the recovery process (Bonow, 2011). The data is collected via an electronic survey sent to the patient after being discharged; the questionnaire investigates the patient’s experience through the…

    Community Advocacy is building upon the partnership with Safe Kids of St. Louis by participating in a statewide expansion of the Safe Sleep Program into the state of Illinois. The Safe Sleep Program was established to educate infant caregivers on the merits of safe sleep practices, such as overlays, rollover deaths, and other SID related injuries. Temporary economic setback and limited funding spurred Illinois to look beyond conventional views and seek new insights to address the state’s high infant mortality rate which has been attributed to unsafe sleep practices, environments, and other child safety concerns. As a result of the growth and success of Missouri’s program, the initiative gained quick attention in Illinois, and was adopted in the counties of Cahokia, St. Clair, and Madison. Since the onset of this cross market collaboration, the program is becoming a major cornerstone for education, and tangible resources. The program has been invaluable to Illinois caregivers that were having to commute to SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Medical Center in St. Louis to use services.…

    Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a recognized cause of secondary hypertension. OSA episodes produce surges in systolic and diastolic pressure that keep mean blood pressure levels elevated at night. In many patients, blood pressure remains elevated during the daytime, when breathing is normal. Contributors to this diurnal pattern of hypertension include sympathetic nervous system overactivity and alterations in vascular function and structure caused by oxidant stress and inflammation. Treatment of OSA with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) abolishes apneas, thereby preventing intermittent arterial pressure surges and restoring the nocturnal "dipping" pattern.…

    According to Blumert, Crum, Ernsting, Volek, Hollander, Haff, and Haff, various studies have been done (including the previous) on how sleep deprivation can effect weightlifting performance, but none of those studies actually modeled a training session that requires performance of a series of high-intensity exercises that are performed for multiple sets and repetitions. For this study, Blumert et al. compared the effects of twenty-four hours of sleep loss on physiological and psychological performance during high-intensity training sessions of national-caliber male collegiate weightlifters. The subjects were tested on three various occasions: finding their one rep max (in snatch, clean and jerk, and front squat) and the experimental conditions…

    In the future, I will assess my patients properly, check their mobility status before allowing them to walk. I will also provide them instructions or equipment to prevent them from falling. If I think they are not safe to have shower, I will just give them sponge wash and explain to them that their safety is my concern. However, I will reassure my patients also that they can have a shower as soon as they become stable because immobility can also be another risk factor for complications after surgery such as bed pressures, deep vein thrombosis and chest infection. Assessing the situation properly will give me valid and justifiable rationale whether it is time to mobilize the patient after surgery to prevent complication due to immobility and hasten their independence for quick recovery or allowing them to stay in bed…

    The Effects of Sleep Deprivation on Employee Performance The importance of sleep in organizational functioning is well recognized, however, it is apparent that no research has measured job performance as it directly relates to sleep. Employee performance in regards to an organization is defined as the ability to complete job duties and responsibilities in an efficient manner (Ballard & Seibold, 2004). Examining researches will expose which variables have already been explored in regards to sleep and employee performance. Several researches are correlated to these primary variables (Ballard & Seibold, 2006; Pettit, Goris, & Vaught, 1997; Ramadan & Al-Saleh, 2014).…
