What are some things that nurses do?
Nurses have many duties, including caring for patients, communicating with doctors, administering medicine and checking vital signs.
Simply put, nurses are life-savers. There are more than 3 million registered nurses in the United States. In fact, nurses outnumber doctors 3:1 in the health care industry. While doctors often specialize in one area, nurses are able to coordinate the care for all aspects of a patient’s overall health. Gone are the days when nurses act like the doctors’ handmaidens; today, they are equally responsible for the overall care of the patient.

What are some common gifts given to mothers on Mother's Day?
Flowers, greeting cards, breakfast in bed, beauty products and special outings like brunch or spa getaways.
While most mothers receive physical gifts, the thing they overwhelmingly ask for the most is priceless: alone time! Some mothers revel in family time on Mother's Day like the breakfast in bed with sticky jam-finger hugs. For others, the definition of a perfect Mother's Day is time alone. Yes, this mom loves her kids, but as the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Give her a quiet hotel room, or just take the kids out of the house for a couple hours so she can enjoy a cup of coffee in peace without having to reheat it in the microwave three times.

What is the role of the Red Cross?
The Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides comfort to people affected by disasters; supplies a large portion of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; distributes international humanitarian aid; and supports veterans, military members and their families.
The Red Cross, born of a desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavors—in its international and national capacity—to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. Its purpose is to protect life and health and to ensure respect for the human being. It promotes mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all peoples.

The four primary vital signs are body ________, blood ________, ______ rate and respiratory rate.
Body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate!
In the U.S., in addition to the above four, many providers are required or encouraged by government technology-in-medicine laws to record the patient's height, weight, and body mass index. In contrast to the traditional vital signs, these measurements are not useful for assessing acute changes in state because of the rate at which they change; however, they are useful for assessing the impact of prolonged illness or chronic health problems. The definition of vital signs may also vary with the setting of the assessment. Emergency medical technicians (EMTs), in particular, are taught to measure the vital signs of respiration, pulse, skin, pupils, and blood pressure as "the 5 vital signs" in a non-hospital setting.

True or False: A businessman got the idea to create the Red Cross Organization while on his way to meet Napoleon III.
True!
On his journey to meet Napoleon III in 1859, the businessman Henry Dunant witnessed a bloody battle in present-day Italy. What he saw horrified him: men were left to die in agony without medical aid. This sparked his vision for impartial medical volunteers, who helped the wounded no matter what side of the war they were on. Clara Barton was the founder of the American Red Cross several decades later.

Whether a patient receives whole blood, red cells, platelets or plasma, this lifesaving care starts with one person making a generous donation. The Red Cross provides about 40% of our nation’s blood and blood components, all from generous volunteer donors. But supply can’t always meet demand because only about 3% of age-eligible people donate blood yearly. Each new donor helps us meet patient needs.

What is CPR? What is the acronym CPR short for?
CPR is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. Immediate CPR can double or triple chances of survival after cardiac arrest. CPR stands for CardioPulmonary Resuscitation.
For healthcare providers and those trained: conventional CPR using chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth breathing at a ratio of 30:2 compressions-to-breaths. In adult victims of cardiac arrest, it is reasonable for rescuers to perform chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120/min and to a depth of at least 2 inches for an average adult, while avoiding excessive chest compression depths (greater than 2.4 inches). Anyone who's taken a CPR class has also heard that The Bee Gees' “Stayin' Alive” is the perfect song for hitting the 100-120 beats per minute required for ideal chest compressions!

What flower is associated with Mother's Day?
The Carnation
Activist Anna Jarvis organized a local Mother's Day celebration in 1908 in West Virginia in honor of mothers and their sacrifices. Jarvis then worked to make it known as a nationwide holiday, and in 1914, Mother's Day was officially recognized as a national holiday by President Woodrow Wilson. Jarvis and her mother were known to have a white carnation garden at their home in Philadelphia. In honor of her late mother, she distributed 500 carnations at the first official Mother's Day service because they were her mother's favorite flower.

"Inter Arma Caritas" - "In War, Charity"
"Per Humanitatem Ad Pacem" - "Through Humanity to Peace"

The Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides comfort to people affected by disasters; supplies about 40% of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; distributes international humanitarian aid; and supports veterans, military members and their families. The Red Cross is not a government agency. The Red Cross is a registered nonprofit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to deliver its mission.
