Education And Senior Centers
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Despite what many people believe, the elderly do not stop learning just because they are old. Indeed, this particular time of life needs the mentally stimulating benefits of daily education, even if it is nothing more finishing a crossword puzzle or learning a new language. The extent to which education is a critical component to a fulfilling older life is both grand and far-reaching; while there is a considerable variance in the level of education any given senior can absorb, every little bit of knowledge taken into the brain serves to strengthen the individual's cognitive fitness. Senior centers have the capacity for being one of the best and most applicable places for educational enlightenment, however, many operate more as a baby sitter environment where their idea of stimulating the mind is nothing more than cards, board games, television and food. This reality will become obsolete quite soon as the upcoming generation of elderly will demand choices that actually teach them something. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Education in Emergency Nurse Triage
[ send me this essay ]
A 20 page paper discussing the concept of triage and the education of triage nurses in emergency departments.

The state of triage education is such that triage nurses may be greatly experienced and well trained, or they may be barely conversant in the concept. Efforts are underway to ensure that nurses performing triage duty are qualified and experienced. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Education Needs Assessment: Use of Restraints
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page paper discussing the need for an in-house short course program addressing the use of physical and chemical restraints of elderly nursing home residents. Restraints are notorious for being misused; what is discussed less in the popular press is the benefit that they can provide. The purpose of such restraints is to prevent injury stemming from patients’ attempts to do something for which they need assistance. The use of restraints both supports and contradicts the ethical principles of autonomy and beneficence, and an in-service refresher can serve to reconcile that contradiction. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Education Program Proposal
[ send me this essay ]
A 22 page paper presenting the full proposal for an innovation program at a large hospital. Program goals include (1) enabling insulin IV drip on the medical ward, rather than transferring the patient to ICU; (2) assisting patients to gain and maintain control over their blood glucose levels; and (3) encouraging continuous improvement in nursing knowledge and patient education. The program's theoretical base is a combination of planned behavior and the health-belief model in which the patient believes a problem exists and that treatment is effective. Outgrowth of the program will include greater patient education for better self-management of their diabetes. The paper includes sections addressing implementation and evaluation. Bibliography lists 22 sources.

EECP Business Plan
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page paper providing a business case for adding Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP) technology to the services offered by the hospital to treat coronary artery disease, specifically angina pectoris and congestive heart failure. The income that the hospital can expect from offering this service is much less than that associated with invasive treatments such as bypass surgery and angioplasty, but the greatly reduced cost of EECP treatment also makes it more accessible to those without sufficient insurance coverage and to those for whom insurers are reluctant to approve more invasive approaches.
