This may surprise you but, there are many jobs dealing with algebra, three different types of jobs that use algebra are accounting, home health care providers, and credit manager. These different jobs all require knowledge of algebra to be able to solve the problems, and to do daily work that happens within the job. Accountants use algebra to make decisions and such, while health care providers use it on a daily basis to take care of their patient. And credit managers use it to help people with their financial deals and such as. Algebra is also used on a most daily basis with the most simplest things that are done daily. Tasks such as: getting gas, buying and paying for items at the store, sharing candy among siblings, and exercising.
The use of algebraic methods is the very element that goes into working in management accounting. Accountants would express the relationship between variables using formulas, and using calculations involving powers and roots. They use theses variables and equations for decision making through graphs, like: what if we did A, what would happen, and how does B outcome compare to what could have happen. They would also use algebra and graphs to see profit distribution, and maximization of profits.Algebra is basically what the accountants do, they need to know some type of high school algebra to get through a day at the job. Accountants make $61,690 on average a annually, but in Texas alone they make $52,000 a year, and to be an accountant you must have: Two-Year Associate Degree in Accounting, a Four-Year Bachelor's Degree with a major in Accounting, and a 150 Credit Degree for the CPA Exam.

...he past hours, and figure out how many calories are burned every hour, so like how many calories are burned after three hours. If you have intaked 2345 calories and wish to burn 1000 of those, and approximately you burn 165 and hour you would divide it by 2345 and you'll get the answer. Or, if this is the way you exercise, you can figure out how many pounds you want to lose. Like, how many pounds are lost every hour, by testing it ,you can have and estimate formula that will allow you to configure how long it would take you to lose say, 100 pounds if you wish.

Math is everywhere when most people first think of math or the word “Algebra,” they don’t get too excited. Many people say “Math sucks” or , “When are we ever going to use it in our lives.” The fact is math will be used in our lives quite frequently. For example, if we go watch a softball game all it is, is one giant math problem. Softball math can be used in many
Long-term care (LTC) covers a wide range of clinical and social services for those who need assistance due to functional limitations. These limitations usually result from complications associated with age related chronic conditions, from disabilities related to birth defects, brain damage, or mental retardation in children; or from major illnesses or injuries suffered by adults (Shi L. & Singh D.A., 2011). LTC encompasses a variety of services including traditional clinical services, social services and housing. Unlike acute care, long-term care is much more complicated and has objectives that are much harder to measure. Acute care mainly focuses on returning patients to their previous functional level and is primarily provided by specialty providers. However, LTC mainly focuses on preventing the physical and mental deterioration of an individual and promoting social adjustments to suit the different stages of decline. In addition the providers of LTC are more diverse than those in acute care and is offered in both formal and informal settings, which include: hospitals, physicians, home care, adult day care, nursing home care, assisted living and even informal caregivers such as friends and family members. Long-term care services have been dominated by community based services, which include informal care (86%, about 10 to 11 million) and formal institutional care delivered in nursing facilities (14%, 1.6 million) (McCall, 2001). Of more than the 10 million Americans estimated to require LTC services, 58% are elderly and 42% are under the age of 65 (Shi L. & Singh D.A., 2011). The users of LTC are either frail elderly or disabled and because of the specific care needs of this population, the care varies based on an indiv...
Home health care agencies offer a wide range of healthcare services that can be given in the patient’s home. Independent Living Inc provides full-service, non-medical, in-home care to elderly patients. A full-service agency manages all the care needs and solves any issues regarding the entire care experience. A non-medical, in-home care agency provides services that are not considered skilled services or medical care. Direct Support Professionals are hired to care for the patient in their home. Their services include personal care, companionship, supervision, and assist with different tasks within the home. These tasks consist of meal preparation, medication administration, light housekeeping, laundry, errands, shopping, and transportation. They are also responsible for accompanying the patient to doctor appointments and assisting them with daily activities. There are six specific activities that are referred to as Activities of Daily Living (ADL). These activities are bathing, dressing, transferring (getting into bed, chair, wheelchair, etc.), using the toilet, eating, and
There is no place like home is a well-known adage that the healthcare industry has recently embraced as it enters in the early years of the 21st century. According to the Joint Commission, the home is the best place for healthcare, and it has proven to benefit the patients in many ways, because the cost of care is lower, the patients are happier and the environment is friendlier (Dilwali, 2013). CMS defines home care as “prescribed services delivered in the patient’s home such as nursing care; physical, occupational and speech language therapy; and medical social services” (Dilwali, 2013, p. 269). Home care includes disease prevention, health promotion and illness related services (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2014). The goal of home care is to ensure that the client’s health improves while increasing the individual’s independence. This
Some of these care services are now provided at home. Other caregivers include families, friends, affordable caregivers, medical professional and voluntary care providers. As a result, there has a shift in the provision of the health care. However, in some countries such as Canada, people refer to get healthcare services from the hospitals rather than homes. It is because of the belief that homes provide low quality-services. These cultural aspects have led to a massive burden on the patients and the caregivers who have to offer the services from their
al., 2010, p. 103-104). In medicine, beneficence is the foundation of every encounter a clinician has with their patient, they are there to help alleviate symptoms and diseases in order to do good for them. In the case of Ms. R, respecting her decision to live alone will violate this premise of beneficence and go against all the medical advice she has been given. However, like with all decisions in medicine, a patient is presented with options and if the patient is mentally capable of making their own healthcare decisions, their decision should be respected no matter what it is. Nonetheless, just because Ms. R made a decision to live alone and accepts her potential risks, doesn’t mean that her daughter along with the medical team should let her put herself in harm 's way. There are other means of beneficence and nonmaleficence in this case that can be achieved while still respecting Ms. R’s autonomy. Firstly, Ms. R’s daughter can move in with her and be by her side everyday, or if she cannot move in, she can come visit her mom on the days the home health aid is not scheduled, that way someone will be always there to monitor her. Additionally, due to Ms. R’s increased risk of falling along with her other medical risks, the social working can help arrange for Ms. R to receive a
With over 1.5 million elderly and dependent adults now living in nursing homes throughout the country, abuse and neglect has become a widespread problem. Even though some nursing homes provide good care, many are subjecting helpless residents to needless suffering and death. Most residents in nursing homes are dependent on the staff for most or all their needs such as food, water, medicine, toileting, grooming- almost all their daily care. Unfortunately, many residents in nursing homes today are starved, dehydrated, over-medicated, and suffer painful pressure sores. They are often isolated, ignored and deprived of social contact and stimulation. Because of insufficient and poorly trained staff commonly found in nursing homes. Care givers are often overworked and grossly underpaid that often results in rude and abusive behavior to vulnerable residents who beg them for simple needs such as water or to be taken to the bathroom.

"Who does a son turn to, when his 78 year-old mother, newly admitted to a nursing home’s rehab unit, is experiencing delusions and screams through the night? Or where does a daughter turn to for help when she notices a rapid decline in her mother’s health and her mother refuses to seek medical care? Or the gentleman who believes it is time to a continuing care retirement community, but has no one to advise him on the myriad of financial and lifestyle implications of such a move?
