007-3.2 Explain the potential impact of an out break of infection on the individual and the organisation. Impact on the organisation: There would be potentially huge cost implications on an organisation with regards to staff sickness levels rising, causing the need to employ more staff which they will be paying to cover in addition to staff that are off sick ,and patients needing hospitalisation. Patients may require to have longer stays in hospital causing a shortage of beds for other patients. Hospitals, units and wards could all face closure short term or long term. The organisation could also be fined by not complying with the law which would have a negative effect with exposure in the media.
While color selection can appear to be simplistic noise issues become an even more daunting challenge to overcome. Many noise issues are a result of patients not able to sleep through the night from cart noises, monitoring equipment, and doors constantly opening and closed (Lehman, 2009). However, replacement of the Martin Army Community Hospital allowed revision of a solution that reduces noise issues. Provided solution in reducing noise issues was the redevelopment of the design that would allow proper recognition of acoustics in the facility in addition to the evidence-based design

This is a controversial topic because many believe that melanoma cancer is directly related to indoor tanning. The author of the article I found online believes this too and while they tried to make a compelling case it just does not hold up to the facts that I have found myself that indoor tanning does have benefits. The article that I located about the negative effects of tanning beds on livestrong.com explains that excessive exposure [of tanning beds] can lead to problems such as skin cancer, eye cancer, and that they are considered unsafe by organizations such as the U.S Food & Drug Administration and American Academy of Dermatology (Welton, 2011, Skin Cancer). In response to this, it is fact that the U.S Food and Drug Administration does regulate the indoor tanning industry so it does stay safe for individuals to use (Welton, 2011).

This fire has come unexpected to the community and has effects on the community’s hospital, senior center, school, and the Bley Household.

The stress of such an influx of patients is showing itself when it comes to the moral of the employees. With moral being low, the drive to work extra hours falls as well.
Because electrolytes play an important role in homeostasis, the danger of dehydration and an electrolyte balance is life threatening. If the potassium or sodium levels are too high or low, it can interfere with the electrical activity within the heart causing it to have abnormal rhythms or a myocardial infarction. Low blood pressure, confusion, disorientation and renal failure can all be dangerous when there are dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.

An example of inappropriate care planning would be where in a residential care home a service user may struggle to walk about coherently due to mobility problems as a result of a hip/knee replacement or arthritis. Therefore if inappropriate care planning is given or not given in some cases the risk of injury to the service user is high. Obstacles such as boxes on the floor in their bedroom, wires and steps can be of great danger to them. Inappropriate care planning means not assessing situation and therefore service users are open to harm. To give adequate care planning would to be planning ahead of the situation and ensuring on a daily basis there is not any hazards around that could potentially hurt the service
