The case of Werth vs Taylor did not turn out the way I expected. This is because Cindy Werth had initially given a formal refusal to having any blood transfusion procedures. She justified her decision by quoting her religious beliefs. I, therefore, expected the court to honor her wishes by honoring or respecting her religious point of view. If Cindy wanted to make sure that she did not receive any blood regardless of the circumstances, she could have explicitly stated that she did not want the blood transfusion done even if she was in a medical emergency. This could have made it clear to the medical personnel that she held her religious beliefs in high esteem, even when it meant foregoing a potentially life-saving procedure. The Werth’s stated that Dr. Taylor should have consulted with Cindy before proceeding with the blood transfusion procedure. If this would have happened, then it could not have changed the outcome of the case. This is because the law acknowledges that when the standard informed consent is applied in this situation, it could have seriously…

The Article Leadership is one of the major five competencies in nursing- the bother being knowledge, effective communication, business acumen as well as professionalism. A transcending quality of a good leader, especially useful in nursing in the ability to manage and effect proactive change. Change in a healthcare environment requires mobilizing human resources as they relate to effective planning, implementation, and evaluation of the change strategies. Shirley (2013) attempts to understand Lewin’s Theory of Planned Change (LTPC) and how it can be applied as a leadership strategy to manage change in the nursing environment effectively. The article is a summary of LLTPC’s merits, demerits as well as appropriate application in the nursing environment. According to the article, LTPC can be summed up as a three-step process- freezing, unfreezing, or transitioning and unfreezing. Freezing involves all the activities done in preparation for the expected change process. It often begins when a change agent is discovered, such as recognizing a problem or identifying a challenge-exclusive need for change (an opportunity for growth). It involves mobilizing colleagues and subordinates to see the prudence…

Financing is needed to start a business and upgrade it to profitability. There are several sources for start-up financing. One should consider the amount of capital needed and when it is needed. The financial needs of a business differ depending on its type and size. This paper focuses on the sources of funding in businesses. Debt and equity is significant sources of financing. Government grants for certain aspects of a business are optional, and in specific communities, incentives are easy to locate. The finest mix of debt and equity needed to fund a beginner firm will comprise equity funds (which assure returns over long duration) and debt funds (reliable when the market is unstable). The latter gives a steady return in constant range and has lesser risks. In taxes, the long term equity funds are exempted from capital gain tax due to flat-rate taxation. (Staniewski, Szopinski, Awruk 2108-2112) Debt funds are preferable when funding a firm. They invest in risk-free government corporate bonds. Equity funding is risky due to its unstable nature and sensitivity to economic factors (Rompotis n.p). Nevertheless,…

The age of adolescents shows the intensified development of personal memories in the life of human beings (McLean & Thorne, 2003, p. 893). The adolescent age period also marks the transition to adulthood. Besides, it marks the emergence of self-identity through the life story of a human being.

German Cars are not as reliable as they are believed to be I do not believe that German cars are more reliable than American or Japanese vehicles. This is a fallacy that was caused by the country’s marketing strategy. Their marketing programs were based on the foundation of German Engineering, which marketed the German machines as the best in terms of quality, luxury, and reliability. This position was the truth in the 1970s when German brands such as Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz would top the Consumer Report’s Long-Term Reliability Test and Initial Quality Index Tests (Haj-Assaad, 2012). However, their Japanese and American competitors have been able to catch up with them. Over the years, German cars have ended up being faced with problems such as electronic failures and a reduction in the quality of the ECU systems. Consequently, it has led to them always spending most of their time in the shops. Unlike some American models which only go for regular service, German models such as BMW and Audi have a recurring problem of their cooling systems and engine’s knocking. Therefore,…

MBA DISSERTATION PROPOSAL – 2020 Background Delivery and receiving healthcare services to all humans is an essential part of life as they are a determinant of proper and safe day to day life.

As much as the companies deliver the services to the same region, they still project to make as many…

Self-determination theory Self-determination theory (SDT) of motivation focuses on the type of motivation that is inherent to a person and does not require external influence or interference. The theory focuses on the motivation behind people’s choices, such as a decision to complete a project without supervision of financial reward. Self-determination focuses on the behavior that is self-motivated and self-determined (Ryan & Deci, 2017). Therefore, self-determination theory of motivation can be considered extrinsic because the source of motivation emanates from within the person. However, the environment in which a person works can enhance self-motivation, such as by making the job relevant to the actor. Although fully internalized extrinsic motivation is important in organizations, self-determination (autonomous motivation) is more important in the modern-day workplace since it meets the three levels psychological needs, competence, autonomy, and relatedness, and depends on the nature of work, such as workplaces that support independence. Levels of Motivation within Self-Determination Theory SDT is a macro human motivation theory which plays a vital role in understanding why people behave the way they do. The theory evolved from intrinsic and…

Reasons Why Marijuana Should Be Legalized Over the past few years, marijuana has been a topic of great interest to many people, but it is now in the spotlight more than before. We have seen many people debate if it should be made legal or not due to its increased popularity. A recent study has shown that marijuana is the most used drug in the globe. There have been suggestions that marijuana can treat cancer, HIV/AIDS, and other fatal diseases. People in pain have been given marijuana to soothe this pain, and it has also worked. Medical officers have prescribed small doses of marijuana to patients who have difficulties in sleeping and eating. These special effects of marijuana have seen a rise in the demand by citizens, calling on the government to legalize it. By July 2014, two states in America had legalized the use of marijuana, with four more states reportedly about to do the same. When asked for his say on the legalization of marijuana, a former police officer said that it should happen because it is a…
