There are five defense mechanisms: repression, projection, reaction formation, fixation, and regression. Repression is the act of forcing some uncomfortable thought, image, or feeling out of the conscious. However, the effect of this lead to increasingly more dangerous unconscious mind, which become the “demons” that haunt and…

Carl Rogers’ proposed that humans have an innate ability for mental growth and that also depends on external factors (Rogers 2007). Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory strictly focuses on a person’s unconscious thoughts that are repressed from childhood and negatively affected a person later in their adult life (Safran et al. 2014). In addition to the unconscious, Freud also believed that the human mind was made of two other parts, the pre-conscious that holds all of our memories and stored…

This is where a hole is drilled through the hard, compact bone distal to the greater tuberosity of the humerus. A braided nylon suture is placed through the drilled hole and then through the tendon tissue. This is used to improve bone healing and fixation strength. The deltoid is then reattached to the acromion to both the superficial and deep deltoid layers. The statistics for success in this type of surgery show that 80% to…

activities. A lack of Qi would therefore result in a lowering of body temperature and consistent coldness of the hands and feet. Thirdly, Qi is also essential for protection. According to the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, invasion of Evils (6 external factors) are the major reasons for a patient…

When Everything Clinically Right Goes Wrong As nurses, we were trained to journey through the nursing process as if marking off a check list consisting of assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation (ADPIE). Following “ADPIE” ensured we would provide excellent clinical care to our patients. However, what if the nursing process plays out right but the outcome is wrong? At my organization, I work as a float pool nurse trained to work on many nursing floors. One afternoon I…

Like the space Derrida speaks of in his notion of text, Quentin’s section draws us into a space where there are no boundaries between the real and the fictive, the present and the past, and the external world and the internal world of mind. Derrida’s reading of Blanchot’s “La folie du jour” reveals how the text eclipses the clear divisions between what comes before and what after and what is in the text and what outside, by the narrative’s self-repeating process. Incidentally, Derrida argues…

How would you characterize the child’s attachment style? (1) Anges was very engaged in encouraging Max to explore his environment during his earlier developmental years, especially when he started crawling. Max would crawl a little and then turn to Agnes for reassurance. Even after Max was removed from her care and placed in a daycare setting, he was eventually able to adjust to the staff at the facility. Now that Max is living with Kelly, there is evidence in his behavior that shows he has…

played a crucial role in developing nursing science and caring humans. Free will help nurses understand human behaviors and have insight into caring for patients through making choices in order to shape the patients’ behavior based on internal and external individual factors. Moreover, free will lead to the evolution of nursing science resulting from changing of ontology in philosophy. In this paper, the concept of free will and the relationship between free-will and pragmatism will be…
