    U.S. Supreme Court: United States v. Riverside Bayview Homes Inc. 474 U.S. 121 (1985) The developer Riverside Bayview Homes was filling its property, which was located next to Lake St. Clair, Michigan, with fill material. The Army Corps of Engineers filled a lawsuit against the developer to prevent this from happening, as the Corps felt that this area qualified as a wetland and the developer would then need to obtain a permit from the Corps as required under Clean Water Act § 404. The district court held that this area was considered a wetland under the Corps’ definition. This was then reversed in the Court of Appeals, which stated that the Corps’ must avoid taking without just compensation which violates the Fifth Amendment, thus giving the developer the right to fill their property without a permit.…

    The care planning meeting revolved around an 11 year old named, Katy, who was/is subject to care order. The rules around contact with Katy had been made very explicit to Katy’s mother and her Aunt, at the time of the care order being made. However upon receiving the case I learned that Katy had been having unsupervised contact with both her mother and her Aunt, as a result of a lack of adherence to the care order by Katy’s foster carers. As a result Katy had been moved from her previous foster carers to new residential home. Unfortunately Katy’s move from her foster carers to her new residential home was not perfect and may have been a cause for anxiety for Katy due to the uncertainty of her…

    The current study was a longitudinal study that assessed data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). I chose the HRS data because it includes participants that are over the age of 50 and their health status. Age is generally important to the current study because strokes typically occur in older age (Dries & Hussein, 2015). The HRS study began in 1992 and consisted of 12,652 participants that were eligible for interviews and had a response rate of 81.6% (Health and Retirement Study, 2015). This study surveyed individuals over five separate waves, with the last wave consisting of participants that were born between 1948 and 1953 (Health and Retirement Study, 2015).…

    Patient advocacy does not require nurses to agree, promote, or tolerate any demographic on a personal ideology. What nursing and healthcare does require is professionalism which dictates “[c]ulturally competent nurses…..recognize the harmful effects of ignorance, hate, ethnocentrism, prejudice, and bias on the health of their patients”. (p. 113) Advocating for Lia would necessitate an examination of her social determinates and propagate care that would produce the best patient outcome even if it requires a variance from normal practice.…

    I have been working in a nursing home for a little over a year as a dietary aide and have witnessed many problems within the dietary department.

Bad management existed in the kitchen because Sara gave overtime to her employees like it was candy. The kitchen was understaffed for the past couple of months and so the only way that Sara resolved this issue was to give out overtime.…
