Preventing Sharps Injuries
Safety in Healthcare: Preventing Needlestick and Sharps Injuries Each year, 385,000
needlestick injuries and other sharps related injuries are sustained by hospital based
healthcare professionals; which equates to an average of almost 1,000 sharps injuries
per day in the U.S. Accidental needlestick and sharps not only cause injuries, but they
also carry a major risk for transmission of blood borne infections. Although virtually all
healthcare workers are at risk of harm from occupational exposures such as these, the
Center for Disease Control notes that nurses sustain approximately half of all needlestick
injuries. While there are several precautions and regulations implemented on the
administration and disposal of sharps, many... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Prevention of such injury can be executed in several ways. An article written by Aziz
(2012) titled Preventing Needlestick Injuries, leans towards the use of safety needle
devices in the prevention of needlestick injuries. Rather than relying on training and
education, the argument is that by focusing on the hierarchy of controls, removing the
hazard first, or the open needle, is most beneficial method in decreasing the risk of
sharps injuries. Wilburn (2004) also argues in Needlestick and Sharps Injury
Prevention, that use of the hierarchy is the best tactic in the prevention of injury.
However, Adams (2012) disagrees with the belief of removing the hazard first and
states safety devices are only as good as the operator using them in which he stated in
the article titled, Needles and Sharps Injuries: Practice Update. All three articles,
conversely, agree that the cost of SNDs are much more expensive than the traditional
needle and syringe and state that it is often times hard to outweigh the cost over benefit
when needlestick and sharps accidents still occur in the healthcare field even with

When most people look at a piece of pottery the first thing that comes to mind is the
significance of the symbols and the stories behind these symbols. There are some
symbols of Hopi pottery that have stories behind them and some that are symbols of
either lost significance or the story is unknown. Some of the symbols we think of as
symbols, are really the potters own design. Most people make the mistake that symbols
and designs are the same thing, but in fact they are very different. Hopi potters, mostly
women, have been instrumental in both preserving and developing traditional symbols

The potter does not look at the design or shape of piece of pottery until the complete
piece is finished. Once the pot is finished, the potter looks at it and if there is
something wrong with it, such as it is lop sided or the design is corked, he/she takes it
as a learning experience , and will know what not to do the next time ( Museum Notes 3).

If on the other hand, he/she has not decided on a design he/she may take the pot in his
/her hands and close his/her eyes and imagine a design that would fit the pot which
would be attractive on the piece. A very famous potter, Maria Martinez creates all of
her pottery by first closing her eyes with the piece in her hands and then imagining
what would look good on this piece and what will fit perfectly. Another artist, Carol
Duwyenie, states My creations in art revolve around symbolism in the relationship to
life and Hopi Philosophy of the earth. Just like the paths of life change, twist, and turn,
so has my work. I have taken different paths to express my creativity.... (Duwyenie 1).
Everyone has there own way of deciding what to place on their art. As mentioned above,
some artists know right from the start what the design will be , but some do not and

lopsided. The area is first
