Introduction

The nursing profession is a challenge for the person desired to be a working specialist in his or her field, many obstacles to cover and every critic to take, all in all makes one closer to the destination rather than stomping them. The ever going research and study in fields of Medicine and Nursing derive any one of us to conclusive and scientific methods of identifying truth and reality from fiction and imagination. The methodology of research both the qualitative and the qualitative analysis carry great responsibilities ethical and social and is designated to far and wide the ever lasting truth of unveiling reality.

Abstract

The studies was carried out on 114 staff members executing their duties in mental health care settings for elderly, 2 National Health Services inpatient units and 5 private hospitals in north of England. This was a questionnaire based survey.

This infected person fall sick to these diseases and experience signs and symptoms of vomiting, fever, blood in stools (hematuria), abdominal discomfort and ...
