Mitigating the Impact of COVID-19 on the Elderly in Their Homes Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented fear and uncertainty among the elderly. The pandemic has influenced the elderly to depend on social connections more than ever. According to Malone et al. (2020), the elderly sometimes need a helping hand and often need someone around them. While many countries have nationwide lockdown and social distancing restrictions, the elderly could be feeling unusual loneliness. Several factors explain why the elderly are more vulnerable than the general population – they have various chronic conditions, and their immune system is weaker to fight diseases, infection, and viruses. Furthermore, elderly recoveries are often slower and more complicated. Many people are concerned about COVID-19 prevention among the elderly living far away from their families and caregivers. They might face anxiety and depression due to loneliness, as they have limited income and transport capability, which may delay their routine health checkups. In this regard, this study describes the development, implementation, and evaluation of the COVID-19 prevention program that would help mitigate the elderly’s impact…

CRM 201 19S01ACRM029 Explain CPTED fully, including advantages and limitations and principles underpinning CPTED. ‘Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design’ (CPTED) is a crime prevention theory focusing on tactical design and the effective use of the built environment, which, when applied, reduces both crime and the fear of crime. The main objective of CPTED is to reduce/remove the opportunity for crime to occur in an environment and promote positive interaction with space by legitimate users. CPTED is a preventative, pro-active model, and not a reactive one. It originated in America around 1960 when urban renewal strategies were felt to be destroying the social framework needed for self-policing. Architect Oscar Newman developed the initial and most recognized documentation of CPTED in 1972 in his book Defensible Space. Later a criminologist C. Ray Jeffery, coined the term CPTED. The growing interest in environmental criminology led to the study in natural surveillance, access control, and territoriality. CPTED is a crucial element of the service that Design for Security provides, and the benefits are optimal when the strategy is applied in the earliest possible stage of…

                Tuberculosis Student Institution   Introduction Tuberculosis My area of interest is tuberculosis (TB). TB refers to an infectious illness that generally affects the lungs. However, it may affect any other organ of the body, such as the liver and spine. This infection may develop when germs spread via droplets in the air when a person with active TB disease speaks, coughs, or sneezes. The relevance of tuberculosis infection to the patient is that it needs to be prevented in the early stages. Additionally, the health care system should implement practices that prevent harm to the patient to minimize the chances of high morbidity and mortality. The significance of tuberculosis disease to patient safety is that it enlightens nurses to comprehend the infection more. Therefore, it enables nurses to be capable of delivering high patient care. It is because nurses will understand the need to measure the outcome sensitive to nurse staffing. This paper discusses how tuberculosis affects children and adults.

Assessment/Analysis   The United States is home to 337 million people, with 13.7% of this population being immigrants, making one in seven of United States residents being foreign-born (Batalova et al., 2020). With an increasingly diverse population, there is also an increasingly diverse set of cultures, ethnicities, religions, and languages.  Healthcare systems need to adapt to such diversity to address the needs of various persons equally. Healthcare is culturally dependent due to personal values and beliefs about health and healing.  Failed consideration of patients’ culture leads to inadequate diagnoses and care since nurses do not understand the actual health issue and interventions that the patient will accept. On the other hand, language differences affect diagnosis and care due to misunderstanding between nurses and patients. Nurses provide care according to their understanding of patients but not patients’ needs when there is a language barrier.     The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses Institute (QSEN) developed a list of nurses’ competencies to address to practice quality patient care. Cultural and language issues in healthcare fall under patient-centered competencies since they affect understanding patients’…
