Prevalence and Prevention of Pressure Injuries in Residents Over the Age of 65
Get PDFPressure injuries are an ongoing problem for people over the age of 65 who have chronic comorbid conditions. Many interventions have been implemented to decrease pressure injuries. Pressure injuries cause pain and can lead to medical issues including sepsis and death. The cost of pressure injuries is high due to the medical complications that result from the pressure injury. Client repositioning is an extremely important intervention to prevent pressure injuries. Risk assessment is also important in order to identify clients at risk to support early interventions. This quality improvement project focused on educating staff and implementing best practices to prevent pressure injuries
Caterpillar, Lobster, X graphs
Get PDFWe studied a combinatorial game played between two players ( Alpha , who goes first, and Beta , who goes second). The idea is that there are a lot of lightbulbs in a large warehouse, and they take turns turning a light bulb on. When a light bulb is turned on, it illuminates the area directly by it as well as the areas immediately surrounding it. The player who is the one to make all of the warehouse illuminated is the winner. This can be modeled on a graph. The two players take turns (1) selecting a vertex that has not yet been illuminated (and (2) coloring that vertex and its immediate neighbors. The last player to move wins. We can vary the game by changing the graph are we playing on. We have been working on this problem all semester, and we will be present on our partial results

Get PDFWithin Paul’s letters, there is a wealth of theological and ministerial material with a variety of implications and interpretations—what Paul seems to say about the position of women in the Church is the object of much debate.
