The nurse is challenged with the care of patients over a lifespan. Each stage of life brings its own physical and emotional changes which directs the care needs. The care needs of the pediatric patient will be much different from the needs of the geriatric population. The geriatric population has very specific needs which has prompted the government to establish the Quality Assurance & Performance Improvement (QAPI) program. The QAPI provides the framework for nursing facilities to develop and implement changes which address deficiencies the facility was found to have. Also, the QAPI program requires practices and policy be put in place to monitor care of the residents. The purpose of this paper is to list some of the changes the elderly go through as they age, and demonstrate these changes in a quality improvement project. After review of literature, I will discuss the challenges, barriers, and solutions as related to quality improvement. Lastly, I will discuss the quality of care for the geriatric in the future.

Revenue: Net sales between years 6 and 7 demonstrate a 33.3% increase or an increase in approximately $1.5 million.

Falls are a major cause of injury and death in the frail older population with Alzheimer’s disease. Residents in the long-term care settings experience falls for many reasons and are likely to endure injuries more than those in other settings. Preventing falls in this setting posed significant challenge, many have cognitive problems, aged related changes, chronic medical conditions, medication effects, and physical limitations requiring dedicated interdisciplinary efforts (Vance, 2011).

The marketers of the Kirby vacuum cleaner lean heavily on the selling orientation perspective. Much time and effort were used to train sellers on the right techniques to persuade customers to purchase immediately after the demonstration, even if there was no compelling need to own the product.

In the latest figures released for the third fiscal quarter of 2016, Net sales increased 1.1% to $5.00 billion from $4.95 billion in the prior year's third quarter. This was the Company's 35th consecutive quarter of positive same-store sales with a 1.7% increase on a constant currency basis.

Another consideration would be for the plant to carry additional stock on hand in order to satisfy any unexpected peaks in orders. At present, they do not stock fan expects for a small amount which would cover any warranty issues, however they depend on their supplier to have them readily available. Since they currently stock the plastic polymer which is used in the electric fans, they may choose to reduce that particular stock item and replace it with the most common type of motor. This could result in a cost savings and would indeed help them ensure that they are better prepared to provide their customers with the best possible service and product delivery.

After the interview with my nurse manager, I came up with the PICO question which states: “Does the computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system reduce the number of medication errors compared to the common paper system being used today?” This question is important and I selected it because the population that the Belvoir Community hospital serves includes army officers of all ages both active and retired including their spouses and children. This group includes two sub groups of highly vulnerable persons which include the very young and the very old, who have a high-risk effect for medication errors because the potential adverse drug event is three times greater than an adult hospitalized patient (Levine et al., 2001). CPOE is not a panacea, but it does represent an effective tool for bringing real-time, evidence-based decision support to physicians. Nurses are the last defense level of protection against medication errors, and are solely responsible for the dispensing, administering, and monitoring of medications. In healthcare, computers can be used to help facilitate clear and accurate communication between health care professionals. When using a CPOE system it allows physicians to type in prescriptions right into the device or computer which significantly lessens any mistakes that can occur when

The target market for the new Dyson vacuum cleaner will be directed toward Brand Lovers,” technologically stimulated communities, medium to high-income households, women, and people who are concerned about improving the quality of air, dust, and allergen removal. However, Dyson must strive to attract new markets with its technological brand, focus on efficiency, powerful performance, modern design, and productivity to individuals outside of these groups, and to small carpet cleaning businesses within the commercial industry.

The Dyson AM07 comes at the amazing price of $335, and while it may be a little up there in price compared to other tower fans, it delivers nothing but great quality, making it worth all the money spent on it.
