Prosecution
One of the harsh realities of the criminal justice system is the ability of defendants to defeat charges against them unless the prosecution has done its homework and prepared for the case properly. Irrespective of how thorough the criminal investigation may have been or how much evidence is available to support a criminal charge, cases can be lost at trial when prosecutors fail to properly prepare for its adjudication. In order to gain some fresh insights in this area, this paper provides a review of the relevant literature to describe the identify the evidentiary stages in the criminal justice process including the discovery process, applicable case law, the defense tactic of impeachment and general expectations for court and applicable rules to describe how officers can best prepare for trial. A summary of the research and important findings are presented in the conclusion.

Nursing -- Preparing for Management

In order to make an optimal contribution to the medical institution and to his or her own career, a nurse must have a refined set of skills in the areas of leading, coaching, and motivating a team of professionals and specialists. The student nurse program is designed to develop the skills crucial to the implementation of safe, high-quality patient care, and to address the particular challenges of long-term health care. This paper discusses approaches for managing patient care in a long-term health care setting, delegation of responsibilities, patient care planning, multidisciplinary teamwork from the perspective of a student nurse.

Oral Communications (chapter Summary)
For a new employee, presenting a company agenda to veteran employees and board of staff is an uphill task. A new employee is challenged predominantly by fatigue, stage fright, and improper knowledge on the subject matter. As a measure, it is substantial for the communicator to develop reliable and updated communication methods. This presentation analyzes the procedural presentation on what should be considered by individuals seeking to improve their oral concise presentation skills. It is evident that aspects like invaluable listening skills, note making, note taking, and fear management are essential considerations when one is preparing to have a successful oral presentation.

Emergency Response Drill
DISASTER READINESS

The increasing need for emergency preparedness has been triggered by the rush of many kinds of emergencies (Adini et al., 2012). These include mass casualty events, mass poisoning events, and biological occurrences, such as pandemics and bio-terror events. Emergency preparedness in hospitals and other healthcare facilities stands out as a major setting. A recent evaluation conducted among 29 surveyed general hospitals in Israel found a significant relationship between the level of emergency preparedness and the availability of needed components for preparedness. These components include appropriate standard operating procedures, training, and drill programs for various emergencies. A team of 16 experts in emergency management from the Israel Ministry of Health and the Home Front Command used an evaluation process. This process consisted of an evaluation of the hospitals' SOPs for the emergency events, and a state visit. Their overall findings revealed the need for an all-hazard approach to…...

Audits
There are several different types of audits: sponsor, IB and FDA. A sponsor audit is one where the company sponsoring the trial pays for and organizes the audit. An FDA audit is conducted by the FDA, and an IB audit is an institutional review board. An IB audit is therefore an audit conducted by the institution (university or hospital, most commonly) whose personnel and facilities are being used to perform the audit.

These audits are differentiated mainly by the body that is conducting the audit. Each body will conduct the audit based on its own interests. For example, FDA audits are conducted to ensure that the work on the trial is being conducted according to the regulations. IB and sponsor audits will be conducted to varying specifications that reflect the interests of those bodies, so they will be more variable in nature. That said, they will not be entirely variable…...

Emergency Management
Over the last several years, there have been numerous challenges associated with natural disasters and the impact they are having on stakeholders. To make matters worse, advancements in technology have increased the overall scope of threats to infrastructure and other targets through cyber attacks. This is problematic, as these kinds of incidents could have an adverse effect on individuals, communities and the nation. To deal with these challenges requires creating a strategy for mitigating the impact of these disasters. This will be achieved by analyzing the steps for all levels of government and the private sector before / during / after them. Together, these different elements will highlight the best approach for addressing these issues and it will assist health officials in reducing the total amounts of collateral damage.

Ebola and EMS esponses
Ebola: EMS Considerations

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been at the forefront of America's response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. When two medical workers returned to the United States with Ebola, weaknesses in the precautions hospitals had in place were revealed (CDC, 2015a). This event resulted in increased scrutiny concerning how well prepared first responders are should they be confronted by a patient suspected of having contracted the disease. Accordingly, the CDC has issued detailed guidelines for first responders.

According to the most recent press release from the CDC (2015b), it is difficult for anyone coming into contact with a symptomatic person suffering from Ebola to contract the disease unless they have direct contact with blood, urine, saliva, vomit, sweat, and diarrhea. Even then, unless the person is suffering from severe Ebola the chances of contracting the disease is reduced; however, emergency medical services…...

Negotiation, the company needs to have a set of objectives with which to focus negotiations. First, the company cannot afford a labor-related shutdown. If competition has intensified, the last thing Molloy needs is to give its customers an excuse to switch to someone else. A shutdown was eviscerate the business. The second thing is that the contract has to fit with the strategy that the company is going to undertake. The idea of shifting to cheaper, less-experienced workers would undermine a critical competitive advantage, and would not result in Molloy being cost-competitive with overseas companies anyway. So the key is to determine overall strategy and then fit the negotiations within that context. Matthews needs to sit down with the CEO, before even formulating further objectives at this point. Ultimately, it is expected that Molloy needs to compete on the basis of being the best in the business, and should focus…...

Strategic Change
Preparing Organizations for Strategic Change

Changes in the health care field and health care delivery systems have never been occurring at a faster rate. Advancements in technology and a changing political climate have been some of the drivers of change. This has created an environment in which change is now the norm as the state of healthcare is continually evolving in a dynamic and turbulent environment. There are four basic categories of change that cause the profession to be in a state of constant change; these are sociocultural, technological, economic, and competitive-based strategic changes (Rod, Ashill, & Saunders, 2009). Nurses in this environment should be ready for change to help facilitate the inevitable changes they will undoubtedly face. There will be many healthcare processes in long-term care that will be updated, streamlined, or implemented in the near future.

There have been three factors regarding change that have been explored in health…...

When Preparing Q & a Activities

When preparing for QA activities of all types, what information do you need to communicate and collect?

During the Q & A session you need to communicate standards and ideas for the programs. This will help everyone to follow a host of guidelines when working with each other and how to adapt them to specific vocational courses. Once this takes place, is when you want to collect data about: the effectiveness of the program and their ability to reach out to a host of individuals. This will create a basic strategy that can be used in vocational training programs. Over the course of time, this will create a way of monitoring and measuring how these kinds of courses are reaching out to a wide variety of individuals. This is when the program will be successful in helping everyone adapt to the various challenges that…...

Managment Challenges in Emergency Services
Qualitative esearch Questions and Phenomena

BUDGETING FO EMEGENCY ISSUES

Many emergency management budgets are small having the tendency to lean towards statistical significance with variations from one issue to another. For instance, small standard deviation of figures varies based on strength of the issue. These figures suggest many of the emergency management functions are performed within a given public safety unit. In this proposal, the safest option is for the emergency management offices to provide coordination functions in case of occurrence of any emergency issue. To manage emergency budgets, both the private and the public must do what is necessary to minimize losses incurred due to such occurrences (Cherry & Jacob, 2008). A budget-conscious management is always important in any organization because it helps in set an outline for costs and enables improvement on weak financial areas. Thusly, aiding organizations (in most cases) with achieving their objectives within…...

competencies between nurses prepared at the associate-Degree level vs. The baccalaureate-degree level in nursing
According to Moore ( 2009), Associate Degree Nurses (ADNs) are nurses with a two-year academic degree and licensed to practice nursing. Associate Nurses are prepared on the technical aspects of care giving that are necessary for their interaction with both the patients and their families in acute care settings. Their knowledge is limited to handling patients care in hospitals and community-based health organizations.

Baccalaureate Degree Nurses (BSNs) are nurses with a four-year academic degree. This program requires high educational qualifications and provides wide liberal arts perspectives as well as topics in clinical nursing including, critical thinking, case management, research, statistics, and health campaigns across various in and outpatient facilities with special emphasis on development of the essential skills in care for patients.

school prepare children for life -- and should it? The public school system in the United States has undergone dramatic changes over the past century. It has become a required institution in which children spend a minimum of 12.5 years and more time than in any other place than home for their formative years. Thomas Jefferson, for instance, believed that universal education would have to precede universal suffrage. The ignorant, he argued, were incapable of self-government. But he had profound faith in the reasonableness and ability of the masses and in their collective wisdom when educated. As one of the founding fathers, Jefferson in fact set the precedent for American education: reading, writing, mathematics, the Classics, and European and American History.

Adventure tourism refers to international or domestic travel that involves traveling to a remote location in order to take part in physically challenging outdoor activities.  While many people think of daredevil type activities when they think of adventure tourism, adventure tourism does not require risky activities.  Any activity that is physically challenging and occurs outdoors can qualify, so milder activities like hiking, backpacking, zip lining, rafting, biking, skiing, snowboarding, or snorkeling would all fall under the adventure tourism umbrella. Of course, adventure tourism also includes high-risk activities like swimming with sharks.  However,....

Government can support schools in rural areas in various ways to help them provide quality education. Here is a suggested answer with proper spacing and formatting:

1. Infrastructure development: The government should allocate funds to improve the infrastructure of schools in rural areas. This includes constructing well-equipped classrooms, libraries, laboratories, and administrative buildings. Adequate spacing within the school premises should be ensured to accommodate a sufficient number of students and facilitate their learning experience.

2. Technological support: Governments should invest in providing schools with necessary technological infrastructure such as computers, projectors, and internet connectivity. This will enable teachers in rural areas to....

Each of these principles will have a significant impact on the way I teach. Here's a breakdown of how each principle will influence my teaching approach:
