Naproxen sodium was added to Jeff’s plan of care to treat his chronic back pain. NSAIDs are absorbed through the GI tract and decreases pain by reversibly blocking cyclooxygenase which inhibits the formation of prostaglandins. Naproxen sodium has an onset of 30 minutes and duration of approximately seven hours (Sutton, 1996). Jeff should be educated to avoid drinking alcohol and taking aspirin while on this medication as well as to avoid taking other meds such as ibuprofen or other meds similar to naproxen which could cause an overdose.

    As you learned in the third case, Tanglewood is working to improve the quality of their selection systems. The process of assessing selection methods initiated by Marilyn Anchley was not limited to store associates—it also covered department managers, assistant store managers, and store managers.

    Staffing today has changed greatly and presents many challenges for organizations. Many candidates are not as easy to find as they used to be. Many potential candidates are usually already employed. Many potential candidates that are already employed are looking for work but not aggressively. There are reports that suggest that more than half of the employees who work for other organizations are very interested in seeking new employment but often times are not making themselves known since they are looking so passively. This makes it difficult for many organizations to staff their agencies. Positions in the organizations are vacant but there not enough candidates applying to fill the vacancy. This can be difficult for organizations to have a healthy pool of candidates to choose from. Without a healthy pool of candidates positions can be left vacant for a longer period of time and it can become a detriment to the organization.…

    To minimize the possibility of such a scenario happening in the future, a strategy must be developed that requires the involvement of several relevant resources. These resources include the human resources department and other managers. Communication, education, and reporting must be integrated in a plan that successfully minimizes the chance of recurrence.
