March 4, 2013 (0800 Hrs) I have been here a little over a month now, everything is going pretty good. I am able to call and talk to my mom pretty often. Classes are going good. Not all people here are trying to change but, I am wanting to. These classes have taught me a lot, and I am doing well in class I hope to take my G.E.D. test before I get out of here and try to make my mother proud. Until next time…
Memo/Recommendations:
I would like to have had more information about what type of gang that Xander was affiliated with, the duration of time that he had been with them, the type of gang activities that they conducted and maybe a little more history. I would have also liked to have known how the concealed gun was found on Xander, was he in the commission of a crime especially if it was a felony, that would have possibly changed the degree of charge he may have gotten.

This experience was educational and I was able to learn how to tailor questions that follow specific presentation complaints during the history intake process. Upon initial presentation, and discussion of her symptoms, it became evident that the questions needed to be more specifically related to the frequency of her disturbance, her diet, mood, social history, and activity level. At this same time, an evaluation of the severity needed to be explored with consideration the co-existence of anxiety and depression. Confirming the absence or presence of an acute life stressor was important to uncover during the history portion of the exam. This encounter was exciting to diagnosis because the diagnosis came from the clinical findings from the exam. The historical flow was intuitive and helped differentiate the diagnosis. Lab tests were not necessarily helpful to diagnose, although important to rule out other potential differentials. Both anxiety and depression were found to be present

An assisted fall is when a staff member witnesses a patient's fall and attempts to minimize the impact of descend. Many patient falls occurring during hospital encounters may cause little or no harm but some can result in serious and even possibly life-threatening consequences for many patients such as hip fractures and head trauma. Even when a fall does not lead to death, it can require prolonged hospitalization. Some could suffer disability, loss of function, and lose their independence or premature death. “Patient falls in hospitals are a common and often preventable adverse event. Nurses routinely conduct fall risk assessment on all patients, but communication of fall risk status and tailored interventions to prevent falls is variable at best.” (Hurley,
Preventable infections regardless of the causative agent, have become major triggers of unintended patient outcome, increased morbidity, and mortality (Arias, 2010). Methicillin Sensitive Staphylococcus Aureus (MSSA) and Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) are the most common causes of healthcare associated infections (HAI) and outbreaks in acute care hospitals and community settings (CADTH, 2010). The widespread infection with the MRSA pathogen is believed to have increased from 2.4 percent in 1975 to 29 percent in 1991 and 2003 in hospitals across the United States (U S) (CADTH, 2010). The prevalence is even greater among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients at 53 percent (CADTH, 2010) and continues to rise due to the widespread

Today the public became more concern about youth crime rising within the community. The public also believes that some of juvenile delinquents do not belong behind bars whereas others do. In the concern of the juveniles who do not belong behind bars the public started creating community outreach programs, intervention, and prevention programs. These programs create an environment for the youth to understand the consequences of their actions, responsibility, and help. This paper will be examining two juvenile diversions, interventions, and prevention
