Case Study
You are working the night shift on a medical unit and have been assigned charge nurse responsibilities. You are working with four RNs, one LPN, and two UAPs. A client becomes pulseless and is not breathing, and the nurse assigned to the client’s care calls a code. The nurse is occupied at this client’s bedside for 1.5 hours until the resuscitation effort is completed, and the client is transferred to the intensive care unit. This nurse also has four other assigned clients. In addition to the nurse assigned to care for the client requiring resuscitation, two of the other nurses working on your unit are assisting in the code.
Review the case study and write an essay (suggested length of 2–3 pages, excluding title page and reference page) in which you do the following:
Explain how might effective delegation to other team members contribute to care of the clients on the unit? (Remember, this is not a question about the patient that is coded, but how you will handle the unit while you are short staffed).

It is now illegal for a retailer to sell any tobacco product—including cigarettes, cigars and e-cigarettes—to anyone under 21.”
Perform research on the short-term and long-term effects that tobacco products have on teenagers and adults, the added compounds in tobacco products, the marketing methods tobacco companies have, along with if vaping is a healthy alternative to smoking.

Chimney Swifts TEAS VI Passage
Chimney Swifts
Chimney swift are small, slender birds that have become a symbol of summer for many. they usually appear urine warm, summer months as they make their way to more tropical sites for the winter. They are recognized spectacular, chirping flocks moving through the sky in synchrony. chimney swift can be seen most vividly at the colonies of hundreds. Or even thousands, of individuals from tornado like funnels as they descend into the chimney. Unfortunately, the size of the colonies we see is misleading. Though the numbers may seem remarkable, chimney population have been declining sharply since the 1970s due primarily to habitat loss.
Unlikely most birds, chimney swift cannot perch or stand upright, so they require long, hollow spaces that are provide save roosting and nesting sites . Historically, chimney swift preferred hollow trees. However, Espeon pioneers territory and replaced forest with towns, the species was forced to adapt by using other structures, such as US, the large-scale shift two alternate heat sources, chimney capping, and the use of fabricated chimneys has drasting their ability to nest during migration. Newer, prefabricated chimneys are often aligned with metal flues that make it possible for the addition, logging and deforestation may make finding suitable overwintering habitat more challenging than ever.
In an effort of sustain the remaining population, conservation groups have designed supplemental housing structure “ Chimney Towers,” this towers are designed specially to provide a roosting sites 4 Chimney Swifts. Chimney swift almost entirely on man-made structure like these to survive. However, because this species is remarkable adaptive minimal conservation efforts like keeping traditional masonry chimneys uncapped during the summer months can improve their changes to survival.
1. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
the number of Chimney Swifts in the world has been slowly decreasing since 1970s
prefabricated chimneys are the one thing that the threatens the future of the chimneys swifts
the diminishing number of Chimney swifts can be reversed by simple conservation efforts
chimney swift rely entirely on masonry chimneys to survive their yearly migration
2. Which of the following conclusion can the reader make from the passage?
chimney swifts are nocturnal Birds whose large number are evident in the size of their colonies
metal flues are inserted in masonry chimneys to prevent birds, such as Chimney Swifts, from nesting in them
moving in a large chirping blocks is a natural protection against predators
chimney swift can easily adapt roosting behaviors to any structure made of the proper material
3. Which of the following lists support the main idea of the passage?
logging and deforestation, changes in the way we heat our buildings, and chimney capping have robbed the chimney roasting sites
chimney swift appear in North America in summer, migrate to the tropics in winter, and give birth in the spring
the small, slender bird known as the chimney swift migrates in large numbers, Can be seen only at dusk, and raised its babies
metal line chimneys, chimney Towers, and reforestation efforts will ultimately result in the growth of the chimney Swifts

3-year-old son, James, who was initially running a fever. He was
given Tylenol, and the fever went away for 2 days. Now, however,
the fever is back, and he has noted dark spots on his body and a
lump in his armpit. He has been lethargic and has not wanted to eat
for the last 24 hours. The physician suspects acute lymphocytic
leukemia and has ordered blood chemistry studies,
immunophenotyping, and bone marrow aspiration and biopsy.
The father is upset and wants to know what is leukemia
and how did his son catch it? How would the nurse address this
question?
