Nutrition’s Role in Wound Healing

Recent studies have concluded that enteral feeding does indeed produce better results. These findings raise managerial issues that the results of the research efforts can inform.

Olestra / How Safe is Fake Food?
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page research paper which looks at the controversy surrounding the use of this fat-substitute in producing snack foods.

Personality Characteristics Needed for Managers, Receptionists, Class Instructors (Health Club), and Personal Trainers (Health Club)
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the personality characteristics needed for managers, receptionists, class instructors and personal trainers with references to the health club setting. Throughout organizations, the personality characteristics of the employees must include a great deal of range depending on the position and the mission of the organization. While there are considered to be several types of managers, all of them should be committed, confident, energetic and hard-working among many other unique qualifications. The personalities of receptionists are particularly important because they give clients the first and lasting impression of the organization. Receptionists above all must be warm, friendly, discrete and unobtrusive in addition to be able to handle a great deal of stress brought on by unpleasant clients. Class instructors in health clubs also have unique personality characteristics. In a sense, they pick up where the receptionist left off in regards to maintaining a good impression of the organization. In addition however, they must be outgoing and perceptive enough to be able to motivate a large group of people although each person has his/her own learning preferences. Lastly, personal trainers have to even more “in tune” with the individual personalities of their clients in order to make the relationship work. Personal trainers are good listeners, good motivators and have to maintain the proper professional/personal balance with their clients. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
