that being exposed to corporal punishment at a young age “increased the likelihood of being a smoker [by] about 1.5 times. (Peshevska 386-387)” The study also reported that children are about one time more likely to abuse other substances as a result of physical neglect. What is most interesting about these data results is not so much the confirmation of the negative impact of corporal punishment but the increased likelihoods of becoming a smoker and abusing other substances. While the results…

responsibility for outcomes. Morgan et al. (1986) were of the opinion that teams should function adaptively and interdependently in attaining the specified project objectives. The implementation point of care troponin testing in my hospital will entail a multidisciplinary team involving doctors, nurses, scientist and administrators.Teams from various work functions in an organisation have been shown to improve the likelihood of project success (Eisenhardt,…

Justin failure to document performance problems and counsel employees affects the high quality of care each patient should be receiving and increase the workload on other staff members. There is a likelihood of error if staff member have an increase in workload due to staff shortage (AJN). In addition, Justin and the charge nurse manager should also follow the nursing process as a guide for decision making and problem solving. In this process, the nurse…

freshwater versus drowning in salt water it is important to understand how red blood cells react with both hypertonic and hypotonic solution concerning the cell transport process, osmosis. When people go swimming, they will sometimes question the likelihood of surviving if they drowned in either freshwater or saltwater. To understand how the body reacts to both saltwater and freshwater, it is important to…

Fingerprint evidence is highly accurate in the identification of suspects, because the likelihood of two different people possessing the same set of fingerprints is estimated to be one in 64 billion (Hall, 2015). Therefore, state and federal courts universally accept fingerprint evidence during a criminal trial due to the validated science behind the analysis of fingerprint characteristics (Hall, 2015). Next, as with everything else in law enforcement, computers have advanced fingerprint…

non-rebreather mask for pre-oxygenation alone. These were both single-center observational studies conducted at teaching hospitals. Despite the study designs, diversity of the patient populations studied, and the different settings, increase the likelihood that apneic oxygenation…

Women are more susceptible to the development of osteoporosis. Women are more susceptible to developing osteoporosis, women are four times more likely to develop osteoporosis in their lifetime.

surely less than the first. The likelihood of listening to the same pop artist? An even smaller number. What about the possibilities of having eyes, arms, legs, a body, a heart? Clearly a great number. But the same color eyes, hair, or skin? A much lesser number. The chances are greater when something is generalized, but once it has begun to narrow down, so do the chances. Stem cells for example, everyone has them in their body, and they typically perform the same functions on everyone. However,…
