correctly can form the basis for a rapid, yet systematic and therefore thorough initial assessment (Jevon 2010; Page and McKinney 2012). It also assists in determining the seriousness of the condition and helps to prioritise the interventions needed (Page and McKinney 2012; Thim et al. 2012). It is suggested for use whenever life-threatening illness is suspected (Thim et al. 2012) and Mrs Reid’s high respiratory rate is suggestive that she may suddenly deteriorate (Resuscitation Council 2005).…

In Meeting the Ethical Challenges of Leadership: Casting Light or Shadow, Johnson (2012) gives an overview of ethics, ethical decision-making, moral leadership processes and group and organizational dynamics. It is a very well organized book that provides reflective exercises and case studies throughout the reading. The author portrays leaders as either casting shadows or light. Shadows represent harm or destructive behavior and light expresses benefit and positivity. Those leaders that cast…

problem created by asymmetric information after a transaction occurs” (Mishkin & Eakins, 2012, p. 26). As far as financial markets are concerned, a moral hazard exists when a lender understands the risk that a borrower might engage in activities that would hinder their ability to repay a loan. As the threat of a moral hazard increases, the likelihood that a borrower will repay a loan decreases (Mishkin & Eakins, 2012). The concept of moral hazards is important to financial institutions because…

retake the same test at different points of time (Salkind, 2012). For example, a 3rd grade English class takes a Fry Words test at the beginning of the school year and retakes the same test at the end of the school year. Test-retest yields the best results when a researcher considers both the length of time between each test and how they intend to use the results. Parallel forms are the second most common form of reliability (Salkind, 2012). Unlike, different versions of the same test are…

assessing the inherent risk factors of fall in older adults (NGC, 2012). These risk factors include but are not limited to: age 75 and older, history of fall, comorbidities such as dementia, Parkinson’s disease, type 2 diabetes, and arthritis; altered mental status, visual impairment and high risk medications (NGC, 2012). The second step of assessment is reporting external risk factors to fall and establishing a corrective action plan (NGC, 2012). Some of the external risk factors include but…

A review of the article, Caffeine Improves Left Hemisphere Processing of Positive Words written by Lars Kuchinke and Vanessa Lux (2012) hypothesized the “link between the left hemisphere (LH) will have a positive advantage in emotional word recognition” (p. 2). The increased dopamine in the brain and caffeine administered is anticipated to increase word recognition by enhancing the process of positive words by the effects of caffeine. This study help others’ understand how the left hemisphere…

Zukina(2012) is also concerned with privacy in behavioral adverting. The article evaluates the FTC’s role and provides information about possible measures for regulation. A weakness against the article is there are a few statements that are unfounded. For example, Zukina believes behavioral advertising operates under the Network Advertising and Digital Advertising Alliance and not the FTC (Zukina, 2012, pg. 277). The Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance have provided…

animals, plants or microorganisms (Reece et al., 2012) .In addition, life would cease to exist without these vital organic molecules, as they are needed for metabolic processes, and other reactions and processes in the body (Reece et al., 2012). Sometimes some RNA molecules can act as enzymes (Reece et al., 2012). Enzymes as well as their substrates work best at optimal levels, and are affected by temperature and pH environments (Reece et al., 2012). Other factors that influence enzymes include…

classrooms with varying levels of Native American student enrollment (Stone & Hamann, 2012). Dr. McMillan (2016) refers to ethnography as “the quintessential qualitative approach” (p.312). Stone contends that it remains necessary to “account for what was actually happening with American Indian and other children in these classrooms” prior to asking questions regarding the efficacy of programs (Stone & Hamann, 2012, p. 53). Toward this end, Stone employed observations, interviews, and…
