Ethics in Health Care

Author: Richard A. Hernandez

To act without rapacity, to use knowledge with wisdom, to respect interdependence, to operate without hubris and greed are not simply imperatives, they are an accurate scientific description of the means of survival

— Barbara Ward

You've got to be brave and you've got to be boa Brave enough to take your chance on your own discrimination — what's right and what's wrong, what's good and what's bad.

— Robert frost

Nursing is an important field in healthcare as it is the process for caring for, or nurturing client in all health care setting. It also refers to the care carried out by any individual who has had formal edification and preparation in the art and science of nursing. To further provide satisfactory service to their patients, nurses also have to observe moral and ethical principles and practices, as ethics and morals may serve to provide dilemmas and conflicts in rendering sufficient service to patients. In addition, ethical principles and morals must be properly given importance and significance in the nursing practice to ensure that the well-being and health of the patients would be given priority, thus, upholding and promoting the moral aspect of the practice.

  • Flat Socio-Cultural

    Authors: Saidamin P. Bagolong, Allan Hil B. Pajimola, Bryan Lee D. Celeste

    The purpose of this textbook is to serve as a reference for an introductory course in Anthropology. This war, focus on concepts and theories of anthropology combined with both social and cultural understanding of humankind. Moreover; this will define basic terms of the course and how it can change your view of the world around you.

    The textbook is likewise designed to facilitate the integral development of students for them to effect changes in the self as well as in the environment, thereby realizing the fullness of human life.

    Even though this is an introductory textbook, we deliberately retain most of the salient features of anthropology as fairly new academic discipline.

    This textbook could not have been written without help from many people whose ideas we have borrowed, modified and incorporated. We owe these people a special debt.

  • Physics 1 Lab Manual

    Authors: Irin M. Malajito, Mara Crisaliz B. Paras, Myra S. Ferrer

    This laboratory manual has been created to substantiate the concepts being presented during the lecture in Physics 1. It would be most beneficial if a particular theory will be presented to the students before an experiment is performed. The procedures in this manual are detailed, constructed step.by-step in order for the students to be independent in their performance of the experiment. The application questions link the concepts of physics with everyday scenario for better retention, and with industry practices in order to create mindset among students of their future tasks. The exercises will enhance the skills of the students in problem solving.

    OBJECTIVES OF PERFORMING THE ACTIVITY IN PHYSICS

    Laboratory work is designed to:

    familiarize students with the fundamental principle of the subject firsthand manipulation of apparatus and personal application of the principle studies.

    train students with the methods and thoughtful experience in experimentation, careful observation and honest recording of data, critical analysis, correlation and interpretation of experimental data

    familiarize students in the use of laboratory apparatus and techniques used in physical measurements

    train students in making valid and worthwhile conclusion from observed data.

  • Biological Science (Cajuday)

    Authors: Lilibeth A. Cajuday, Anne R. Dioneda, Carlo F. Galias, Jonathan Jaime G. Guerrero, Charmaine A. Malonzo, Phil V. Morano, Joan R. Nace, Jocelyn E. Serrano

    Teaching a pure science to non-science majors is a hard task. Teachers are faced with the challenging problem of explaining the complex structures of cells or the intricate chemical pathways in a simple and, in a sense, artful way. Vis-a-vis this simplicity is not losing the basic concepts. Striking a balance takes up a lot of creativity, of board and seat works, and other methodologies to bring home the message to students.

    Finally, this book creates another stepping stone in understanding the science of life. Unlike other textbooks, this Biological Science reference material takes into consideration the actual semestral time frame. It is equipped not just to teach directly but also to encourage self-exploration and culture of research. Besides, a university is a university because it is a generator of knowledge through a prolific research culture among students.

    Given this, it is the hope of the authors that this book serves its purpose. The study of biology is an interesting field regardless of background or skills and competencies. It is perhaps the most practical among the many branches of science. It does not talk about things too farfetched or blurred. It talks about our very self. We, you are the best manifestation of life. Thus, this book is about you, a narration of our physicalities and an explanation of our biological being.
