Abstract
This paper looks at the nursing philosophy of the Strong Memorial Hospital and sets forth the context in which the nursing organization's fundamental principles become relevant. It critiques a core aspect of the principles articulated in publicly available organization documents and discusses the extent to which those principles incorporate a specific theory of nursing. It evaluates the evidence of nursing-staff inputs into such principles and the evidence of how the articulation may reflect the reality of nursing practice, with a view toward evaluating the document's influence on nursing practice.
From the Paper
"This does not appear to mean that nursing is less important as a discipline than other health-care inputs at Rochester/Strong. It does, however, go to evidence that medical research is in both the foreground and the background of nursing praxis and nursing education there. Commitment to research is embedded as a first principle and a factor of uniqueness at Rochester/Strong, a point driven home again and again in its documentation. Further, where nursing practice per se is a feature of hands-on treatment and patient care, the evidence of the Rochester/Strong policy statements is very much that nursing practice is presumptively a part of--or perhaps more exactly collapsed into--the notion that patient care is a physician's responsibility (Healing Power, 1999). Where nursing is mentioned as a feature of health-care teams, other caregiving disciplines are also mentioned; social work is given particular prominence (Burn/Trauma Health Care Team, 1999)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the linkage of theory-research and theory practice. The author delineates each level of the theory and provides supportive documentation for all statements, postulates, claims, and other notions central to the presented theory. The paper explores a nursing diagram based on the development of a middle-range nursing theory related to coping with chronic illness.
From the Paper
"One promising approach to strengthening theory-research and theory-practice linkages is to place greater emphasis on developing and using theories of the middle range to underpin nursing research and practice. The authors define middle range theories as moderately abstract inclusive organized within a limited scope with a limited number of variables, which are testable in a direct manner. The mid-range theories are said to have a stronger relationship with research and practice. This paper presents a nursing ..."

Abstract
In this document the writer discusses nursing research utilization in reference to the potential impact nursing staff can have on targeting negative behaviors that lead to health related issues. The writer notes that nursing staff in the institutional setting, such as educational settings, can take a leading role in delivery of targeted behavior modification programs that lead to a reduction in childhood obesity and teen smoking rates. The writer discusses whether nurses employed within the educational setting can contribute towards behavior modification strategies targeting harmful behavior patterns.

From the Paper
"In the context of this paper the target problems are all in one of the given four areas of the healthy lifestyle. An accurate needs assessment should be completed along with a well defined intervention program when targeting a negative behavior to be modified. The reasons the behavior is persistent should be addressed in terms of an individual's rationale for not instituting the modification his or herself. In a practical sense an individual may only be inclined to modify behavior following some sort of personal crises or personal upheaval of some sort which is usually the event that brings them into contact with healthcare staff."

Documentation in Medical Practices, 2006.
This paper discusses the importance of documentation in emergency medical services.
2,248 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains how documentation is important when an emergency medical technician renders aid to a patient when he/she is ill, critically injured or hurt. Documentation would enable the hospital to keep a track of what type of treatment has been given to the patient, and how he/she responded to the treatment given. The paper illustrates how organizations have made lists of rules and regulations to help those people responsible for documentation while taking care of their patient. This ensures that they would be able to perform their duty efficiently, as well as provide the important documentation needed for the administration of the hospital.

Thesis Statement
Introduction
Conclusion
From the Paper
"An Emergency Medical Technician, who has been able to successfully establish an EMT-patient relationship by the mere fact that he was the individual who had begun emergency care for the patient that he is taking care of at the present time, has a responsibility and a duty to make sure that he take care of that patient until such time that help arrives in the form of a specialist or some other person who can relieve the emergency medical technician. It must be noted that this relief generally comes when the patient reaches the hospital, and the report made by the EMT is submitted to the attending staff. At times, when it so happens that the patient is not actually transported by the first arriving EMT but by another provider, then it is the duty of the first EMT to give a full report on the patient to the second arriving EMT, who would be taking over the care of the patient from that point of time onwards."

Abstract
An overview of the existing security management software programs for computer systems and the risks of operating with a security management system that is not up to standard. This paper also reviews the security management systems that are currently being developed, keeping up with the dynamic pace of the computer world.
From the Paper
"The new standards as given in the recent security documentation methods provide some guidance, yet these methods do not guide the security officers engaged in the job. When the data is collected in the traditional formats, they may not provide good security, as most of this data will have to be regularly updated. There have been suggestions that a security officer with a database and GUIs may provide better security. This requires an improvement of the information system and the secure items have to be presented in a standard format. There are security officers even now, but they are involved with only security and their job is to check that systems are being implemented correctly. On the other hand, they should try to view the business risk due to security flaws and request for changes in the system from the point of view of better security.
To make this judgment, there is a requirement for assessment of risk and that is a time consuming job. Thus most of the concerned people prefer to work with more simplified models of the system and ask for estimates of risk from IT employees, which are subjective. In a complex system, this is not possible and is dangerous when the defects in information can cause harm to the organization in terms of money. This means that security officers should be ready with convincing documents to support views of their risk if the system fails due to any reason. Thus it is clear that security officers in organizations should be able to understand the importance of proper methods, but no system does that at present."

Detecting, Documenting and Reporting Incidents of Elder Abuse, 2006.
A study of the detection, documentation and reporting incidents of elder abuse.

Abstract
This paper provides a background of the problem of elder abuse followed by a review and discussion of the relevant literature. The study uses a retrospective review of adverse patient incident reports in selected Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs) and domiciles in the United States. The paper determines what controlling legislation is in place and the associated responsibilities for healthcare practitioners. It notes that the next step involves detecting and substantiating cases of elder abuse when they occur or are suspected of having occurred. The paper further discusses what should be done when abuse has taken place. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion, where it is noted that virtually all sources suggest the rates of elder abuse are on the increase. However, the definitions of elder abuse have been sufficiently codified in recent years that such incidents can be identified and, when appropriate, reported, investigated and actions can be taken to prevent such abuse in the future.
From the Paper
"Today, there are more elderly than ever before, and their numbers are expected to increase as a percentage of the population in the coming years (Litwin & Zoabi, 2004). Based on this increase in numbers of elderly citizens, it is also reasonable to assume that there will be a concomitant increase in the incidence of elder abuse as well. In fact, in recent years, elder abuse by family members has been identified as a growing problem in Western societies (Bergeron & Gray, 2003; Litwin & Zoabi, 2004); however, it is difficult or perhaps even impossible to know whether elder abuse is actually increasing or decreasing because there is a paucity of national prevalence studies (Litwin & Zoabi, 2004; Johnson, 1991; Ebersole & Hess, 1998). The data that is available, though, suggests that the incidence of elder abuse is on the increase, particularly among those aged 75 years and above (Pritchard, 1993). According to the National Elder Abuse Incidence Study, the most accurate national estimate is that a total of 449,924 elderly people, aged 60 years and over, were the victims of abuse and/or neglect in domestic settings alone in 1996 (p. 6). Furthermore, of that number, just 16 percent or so, or approximately 71,987 cases, were actually reported to elder protection agencies (Bergeron & Gray, 2003). This means that across the country, there were approximately 380,000 cases of elder abuse in the home that went unreported - which is not to say undetected - during that year. Moreover, the National Center on Elder Abuse estimated the number of elder abuse cases across the country in all settings to be from 820,000 to 1,860,000 (cited in Ebersole & Hess, 1998). In reality, though, it does not matter whether elder mistreatment is increasing or decreasing because the fact that some elder citizens continue to experience unnecessary suffering is adequate to warrant attention (Johnson, 1991)."

The Founding Documents, 2006.
This paper traces the evolution of the concept of individual rights expressed in the U.S. Constitution by examining the founding documents written prior to the Constitutional Convention.
1,145 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that each founding document critical to the U.S. Constitution makes reference to the importance of man's free right to exercise his political will under a tolerant and open form of government. Furthermore, key concepts like the right to a fair trial and land and property ownership rights were underscored in these earlier founding documents. The author defines the founding documents as the "Magna Carta", the "Mayflower Compact", the "Virginia Declaration of Rights", the "Declaration of Independence", the "Articles of Confederation" and the "Federalist Papers". The paper relates that the concepts of "all men being created equal" and having the unalienable rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" as presented in the preamble of the U.S. Declaration of Independence are the fundamental concepts of freedom incorporated into the present-day constitution and powerful core principles upon which future democratic documents will be written.
From the Paper
"The Magna Carta of 1215 A.D. was the first of these documents, as an English liberty charter decreed by King John. This early document covered broad areas from property rights to rights of heirs, marriage laws, and criminal prosecution. Article 52 states "To any man whom we have deprived or dispossessed of lands, castles, liberties, or rights, without the lawful judgment of his equals, we will at once restore these," making note of civil liberties of men, although based on the notions of an English royal class system."

"The Old Testament Documents", 2006.
Presents a book review of Walter Kaiser's "The Old Testament Documents: Are they Reliable and Relevant?".

Abstract
The Biblical scholar and theologian Walter Kaiser offers an alternative thesis to the 'documentary hypothesis' commonly held amongst secular Biblical scholars in his book, "The Old Testament Documents: Are they Reliable and Relevant?" The paper shows how Kaiser suggests not only that the Old Testament documents are relevant, but also the Old Testament stories are actual historical accounts of real events that occurred in Israel's past.
From the Paper
"The Old Testament books may be relevant spiritually for the moral truths that they suggest in a metaphorical way. But that does not mean they are reliable as historical, eyewitness testimony and relevance in modern terms of historical data. Kaiser does include some supporting archeological evidence for his anti-documentary thesis, such as the possibility that Sodom and Gomorrah were actual, leveled cities - but this does not mean that the ancient Hebrews did not engage in mythmaking and putting a particular spin upon these enemy cities destruction from their own historical and religious perspective."

The Gettysburg Documents, 2007.
This paper examines two documents about the Battle of Gettysburg, a historic battle of the Civil War.
1,637 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 53.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper analyzes the documents "The First Day at the Battle of Gettysburg" and "The Third Day". These sources chronicle the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-4, 1863, from the first-person experience of the two writers. The paper relates that the document "The First Day" covers the battle from the Union point of view and experience, and as a source for information on the battle, is a credible and genuine source. The paper shows how the second source that discusses the third day of battle at Gettysburg is also a genuine article created by an actual participant. The paper concludes that both articles are interesting to read and would contribute towards a better understanding of both sides during this pivotal battle.
From the Paper
"This document is significant for any number of reasons. First, it is a first person account of the actual first day of battle at Gettysburg, which proved to be a pivotal point in the Civil War. It is also significant for the amount of detail it contains, which can aid the historical researcher in any number of ways - from understanding the configuration of the battle and the participants, to giving a deeper comprehension of the significance of the battle to both North and South."
"The originality of the document is certainly without question. It is a first hand account of the battle, and while there are indeed similar documents, it stands on its own in its detail, complexity, and importance to historical research."
