  Today computers are essential in healthcare. Among the major use of computers in healthcare includes computer-assisted therapy, care of critically ill patients, computer-assisted decision making, laboratory computing, medical imaging, and patient data analysis and storage. Lougheed  et al.  (2018) discern that computers can monitor heart rates, blood pressure and recording ultrasound data in healthcare. When used together with a medical computer cart, caregivers have all they need in one place to diagnose and engage with patients for better treatment.       Computer literacy in healthcare is thus crucial because it allows nurses to quickly access relevant information regarding a patient’s electronic health record and illness and treatment plan. Also, computer literate nurses can access such information as health reports from other team members and access to data from x-ray results and laboratory tests. Alamri (2018) asserts that a substantial level o...

     My experience building a program using Scratch       From my experience using Scratch, I believe there is a clear connection between Scratch and Computer science. Using Scratch has built confidence in me in creating things with computers and allowed me to explore coding using different programming languages. My first program was an animation that I created using blocks. I never got stuck with any syntax issues and any error messages since it uses blocks. I tried parallelism, which I later learned using Java and Python.  Difficulties I encountered building program in Scratch       Using Scratch doesn’t give the programmer full control of the program. Some of the functions and instructions have already been set within the blocks when using Scratch. Such programs cannot be edited to suit the programmer’s needs (Maloney et al., 2010). Since it uses a drag and drop method, which lets children perform actions quickly and easily,...

       Network security entails a multitude of technologies, processes, and devices. This domain refers to a set of configuration and rules designed to protect the confidentiality, accessibility, and integrity of computer data and networks using hardware and software technologies (LaBounty, 2020). Most organizations require network security solutions to protect them from ever-growing cyber threats. Hackers are always trying to exploit and find vulnerabilities in various areas such as devices, users, data, applications, and locations. Thus many network security management tools address individual exploits and threats and regulatory non-compliance. In network security management, many layers safeguard an organization's data since attacks can happen at any network security layer. Therefore, organizations employ computer gurus to model hardware, software, and policies designed to address all network layers. Furthermore, network security has three different controls main...
