Lauren, you provided the group with a very well written post.

In addition, the nurse and healthcare team need to create and maintain a safe environment for the client within every environment. Safety questions can be asked to identify if the client’s home is a safe environment. Therefore, an occupational therapist can make a home visit to observe the…

interlock device (IID) installation, and jail time. We can stop drunk driving if we made a car were you had to breath in a hole and if they’re intoxicated they wouldn’t let them in the driving seat. The car doesn’t start until they breath in the hole if they are intoxicated the car would not start. They would put the hole in every car. When you breath in the hole it will go through the breath and see if the had any alcohol in their body. This would probably solve the problem by stopping…

A few deep breaths if one is not able to observe one’s breath) Step-2: Awareness of sensations in the triangular area at the time of inhalation and…

concepts are tangible, but connecting them together like pieces of a puzzle makes the idea abstract. This class opened my eyes to one of many connections between my body and the earth. The main connection I drew from today’s class was the idea that my breaths are similar to the waves of an ocean. This concept resonated with me even after I left…

Tic Tac is one of the largest breath mint market which has been there in the industry for more than 50 years now. Their products line is faraway the most sold in the world due to their bigger and multiples factories and employees worldwide.
