Info needed fron Sentinel City

In this assignment, I acquired the role of charge nurse on a
medical-surgical unit in Sentinel Hospital. While completing the five
simulations, I was able to practice differentiating patient acuity, assigning
patients to a nurse based on their experience, and appointing patient care
technicians to assist with caseloads. As patient conditions changed, modifying
staff assignments were essential in order to provide efficient safe care.
In
the virtual simulation the goal was to observe patient acuity from scenarios
given and decide which nurse could provide adequate care based on his or her
experience, case load, and efficiency. Each patient scenario would discuss the current
diagnosis, labs, vital signs, and mental status. The charge nurse would then
use knowledgeable judgment to decide which client would require the most
attention and services from medical staff.

The charge nurse was responsible for deciding each patients’ acuity,
creating assignments for each nurse, and determining which patient scenario
needed extra assistance.

The simulation provided three experiences that could be implemented in
current practice. The first experience was assigning a certain patient to a
nurse.

The second experience that is applicable is assigning care technicians
where they are needed.

Lastly, being able to differentiate the variances in acuities without
directly affecting your team and patients’ safety was impactful.

Reflect on your feelings while fulling the role of the charge nurse
in the simulated activities on delegation and caseload management.
Consider how you utilized the experience and efficiency information
provided.
Summarize the responsibilities, including planning, coordinating and
evaluation of nursing resources, managed by the charge nurse in the
simulated activity.
Reflect on any correct and incorrect decisions and responses that you would change if you were to repeat this activity.
Describe what you learned in this experience that will be incorporated into your clinical practice.

Accident Causation and Investigation

Accident Causation and Investigation
Prepare a project report using the attached Unit VI Consulting Report template for your project, and complete the template based on the following information:
Part I: List the five most significant financial benefits for an organization to invest in a safety system or program.
Part II: Acme Construction is due for a workers’ compensation premium review and you have been asked to estimate the potential premiums for the coming year. You have 10 masonry employees (classification—5022) with a rate of $7.96; four plumbers (classification—5183) with a rate of $3.86); and two electricians (classification—5190) with a rate of $4.32. The total payroll for the three classifications are as follows:
5022 masonry $416,000 (total annual payroll)
5183 plumbers $208,000 (total annual payroll)
5190 electricians $145,600 (total annual payroll)
The previous experience modification rate (EMR) was 1.0 because the company had only been in business for 3 years and the EMR is based on a 3-year rolling average. In those previous 3 years, your company had zero claims and you can anticipate that your company will have a reduction in the EMR to at least 0.90. However, you have not received notification of this new EMR, so base your overall premium calculations on an EMR of 1.0
Part III: Using the results from the 1.0 EMR premium estimate, calculate the rate to one of a 0.9 EMR and then a EMR 1.25 rating. Compare both of them to the previous EMR of 1.0 and show in a table as was depicted in the unit lesson.
Part IV: Provide a summary of the energy release theory of accident causation.
Part V: Explain the near-miss relationship as referenced in Figure 20.7 of your textbook in your own words.
Ensure you address all parts of the template. Your project should be at least three pages in length using the above template. Make sure you show your equations and all work for determining answers for Parts II and Parts III in the project template.
No references are required for this assignment; however, if outside sources are used, please adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment.

Discuss the nine items to check when conducting a ladder inspection.

Walking and Working Surfaces and Materials Handling and Storage Report
Prepare a project report using the attached Consulting Report template for your project, and complete the template based on following information:
Part I: Discuss the nine items to check when conducting a ladder inspection.
Part II: There is an elevated area within the plant that requires two maintenance personnel at least once every 2 weeks to access and perform preventive maintenance by lubricating the gears and pulleys. They are currently using a 20-foot extension ladder to reach the locations that require maintenance. This requires that the ladder be moved six times per event, along with one of the employees climbing up and down the ladder. The maintenance supervisor for the plant has provided a drawing of a proposed elevated platform (catwalk) that he would like to install and has asked you to review them for compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and to identify any potential problems with the design. See Figure 5.1 below:
Figure 5.1: Elevated Working Platform (proposed design)
In its current design, the platform is 22 feet wide. The side force is capable of withstanding 155 lbs. of side force. The thickness of the top rail and vertical support is 0.20 inches. Review Figure 5.1 and provide recommended design modifications to ensure that the proposed elevated working platform meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.28 and 29 CFR 1910.29.
Part III: Maintenance employees are required to wear personal fall arrest systems (PFAS) when working on a scaffold. The scaffold is 15 feet off the ground floor. The employees have been provided with a PFAS, which includes a 5-foot shock-absorbing lanyard, meaning that once deployed it will extend an additional 3 feet (for a total of 8 feet). The tallest employee working on the scaffold is 6 ft. 2 in. Calculate the minimum safe distance for this PFAS and determine if this is the correct lanyard to prevent an employee injury.
Part IV: Several employees have been assigned to clean up bulk materials following a train derailment incident using scoop shovels. The scoop shovel will hold approximately 28 lbs. of bulk material, and the scoop lift is approximately 36 inches (distance from the ground to the container). Using the information on pages 648–650 and Table 28.1 of your textbook, determine the recommended scoop rate before the employee should take a rest break.
Ensure you address all parts of the template. Your project should be a minimum three-page report using the above template. Ensure you show your equations and all work for determining answers for Parts III and IV in the project document. You may either formulate the scenario equations using the Word equation formula toolbar or write out and solve your equations with answers on a separate paper. Then, take a screenshot of your work for each scenario using your phone or similar device and insert it as an image in the document. Make sure your image is clear and legible to read.
No references are required for this assignment; however, if outside sources are used, please adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment.
