Specific issues that should be monitored over the next decade include: (1) having access to the entire care continuum and to increasing and to measure insurance coverage and; (2) Addressing disparities that affect access to healthcare (e.g., race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, sex, disability status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and residential location); (3) Assessing the capacity of the healthcare system to provide services for newly insured individuals; (4) Determining changes in healthcare workforce needs as new models for the delivery of primary care become more prevalent, such as the patient-centered medical home and team-based care; (5) Monitoring the increasing use of telehealth as an emerging method of delivering health

A resident's name or conditions cannot be discussed with anyone other than the care team. Photos and other personal information can't be shared on social media sites and to maintain privacy and emails containing a resident's personal should not be sent because there is a possibility the email will be sent to the wrong person or someone may have access to your account. Information regarding a resident should only be discussed in person to ensure that only the necessary personnel know. When seeing a resident in public, you should not mention knowing them from a care facility in case they wish to keep that a secret from the person they may be with.

While these questions are essentially asking the same question, the wording might make it confusing to some readers. Question one is vague and brief, but the wording is more comfortable and straightforward; “Do you favor or oppose expanding Medicare to provide health insurance to every American?” This question leaves the consumer with an ultimatum, whether they are for or against insuring all Americans.

A Ward Nurse is a nurse that works in a hospital setting.

Ward Nurses can work long hours that while flexible, will mean that a lot of time is dedicated to the job. Ward Nurses often do shift work to provide 24hr care for someone.

1.) Criminal law is considered wrong against society and Civil law is considered a wrong in between individuals. I believe that these facts could give rise to both a criminal and a civil case. The reason I think this is because these nursing aides did stuff that society would see as wrong, like abusing the elderly. Also the residents/patients didn’t like what these aides where doing to them so in turn it is a civil law that is being broken as well. The nursing aides were simulating sexual acts with the residents/patients in which they were screaming, and also striking pinching and poking the residents/patients.

Wisconsin has a number of serious drug threats affecting state residents. Illegal drugs such as crack and meth are readily available in many areas of Wisconsin, and responsible for a number of drug rehab enrollments. Wisconsin drug rehab programs in the eastern region have experienced an influx of methamphetamine-related admissions. However, cocaine addiction enrollments are reported to be a statewide problem.
