In a study conducted by Hatfield and Young (2007), 1,727 procedures such as venipuncture, intravenous (IV) catheter placement, intramuscular (IM) injections, urinary catheterizations, and nasogastric tube placement in 1,210 children have been reviewed. Their findings reveal that almost none of the patients received pain management. Although traumatic for the patient, these procedures are considered to be minor by many nurses, and the culture of pain management has not been seen as the standard of care (Hatfield & Young, 2007). Nursing staff is encouraged to change the culture by embracing their role as patient advocate. Every patient deserves a triage pain assessment with ongoing assessments as necessary. Pain control measures must be implemented prior to beginning potentially painful procedures. Discussion must take place between the parents and healthcare staff in order to deliver the best comfort measures on a case-by-case basis.

“Attention, soldiers of the Continental army, the patriots of our colonies!” George Washington shouted, drawing attention to himself as he stood. The whispers along with mumbles stopped, every person bringing their attention to the general as he stood from top to bottom as well as proud. “I will explain quickly what the plan of action is before I separate you. One through five-thousand, you will be going with Lafayette, blocking their escape from Yorktown, waiting in the Chesapeake Bay! Alexander, I believe you had something to say to our people of the colonies?”

Children often fear medical procedures especially ones that are invasive and elicit large amounts of pain and discomfort. For this reason, it is important to prepare children prior to them starting an invasive medical procedure. The objective of

As healthcare professionals, the goal is to relieve pain and suffering with little to no harm done1,2. While children suffer similarly from pain as adults do, there are different factors to take into account. Children might suffer from a heightened sense of fear and anxiety as compared to adults3 and as such, the age old concept of forced restraint is no longer acceptable and may even compound the child’s fear in hospitals and needles throughout life1,4. While distraction techniques, play therapy and mild analgesia might be sufficient in producing a cooperative and relaxed child4,5, for severe pain, this is not an option and general anaesthesia or sedation is often used instead1,6,7. Furthermore, given how the ‘gold standard’

Gerald turns back and nods at Winford, then turns to the sphere. He then leaps out of Winford’s arms into the sphere of infinite darkness.

A sad and depressed vibe flowed through the city of Cleveland. The Warriors were winning the series 3-1 and hope seemed to be lost. The reigning champs were yet again going to win the championship it seemed like. The spiritual and happy flow through the streets now turned into a dull, gloomy, and depressed state. Everyone and everything seemed that way. The highschool of Plainfield North in Illinois was roaring with both sadness and happiness. A young man, by the name of Alex Wing still had hope. He was 17 years old and a big Cavs fan. He loved everything about the city of Cleveland, and the NBA basketball team, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The cool wind tickled the tribal paint plastered poorly on my cheeks as I trekked across the hard cobblestone streets of Massachusetts, my fellow Sons of Liberty surrounding me.

There is something uniquely Texan about the phrase. From the very first email I received from A&M I knew there was something special about the university. It brought back fond memories of when I lived in Texas and attended a summer Sea Camp at A&M’s campus in Galveston. At Sea Camp, I was encouraged to discover new things and be creative, and during my visit to A&M for the graduate preview, it became apparent this spirit of discovery remains and A&M would be a great fit for me pursing a Ph.D.

Callahan Byrn strode up to the microphone, notecards in hand. Fortyish, with a trim beard still mostly dark, he acknowledged the crowd of reporters with a nod of his cowboy hat and a sweep of his blue eyes before looking at his cards.

Critically reflecting on the links between my identity as a learner and relevant processes and approaches, I feel sketch notes would not improve my own learning and progress. This is because I feel I would spend too much time on the drawings that I would lose focus on the content. For example, if I was to use sketch notes during a lecture, I feel I would spend too much time on the drawings that I may miss information. Also, I am the world’s worst drawer therefore when looking back at my notes I may struggle to recall what I meant by the drawing.

The things I carry range in weight and size: the AP binders and textbooks in my book bag, the chapstick I carry in the front zipper pocket of my purse, the bulging homework folder in the front of my binder, the tiny flash drive that contains my whole high school career, the weight of two dead caregivers and my dad’s addiction, the stress all this puts onto a fragile teenage mind. (asyndeton) For somebody who is only 115 pounds, I sure seem to have a lot of strength. All these chips on my shoulder, and somehow I’m still alive.

There once were two brothers, one named Ar’mon and another named Trey. Ar’mon was the oldest brother by two years and he always despised his brother (Trey) because of how Trey was now the baby and gotten more attention now as to how Ar’mon was. Ar’mon thought of many different ways to get rid of Trey.

Flashback seven years to my first trip to the streets and countryside of Europe and my first step in a long journey of realization. A nine year old boy with no worries other than missing mom and wanting a Capri-Sun. I was essentially an untouched specimen with nothing but pure thoughts. These thoughts would soon become tarnished with corruption and sadness as a result of what the reality of the world is like. It isn’t filled with oversized shopping malls and towering casinos, but rather cartels of conglomerated homeless children struggling to live another day, struggling to find a glimpse of happiness in an overcast of doom. In the case of the city of Bucharest, beautiful gothic and byzantine style structures mingle with the teeming crowds
