Critical Thinking on Different Approaches

By Academic Wizard Blog

Critical Thinking on Different Approaches

The essay is 100 points and is 25% of your final grade. This assignment is meant to test your ability to
explain ethics more in-depth and to show your own critical thinking on different approaches to ethics.
This must be a new essay written specifically for this class by you individually. You need approval from
your instructor before using part or all of an essay that was submitted for another class.

Topic: Pick any two out of the following ethical theories: Ethical egoism, utilitarianism, Kant’s
deontology, Aristotle’s virtue ethics, and Held’s care ethics. First, give you own cohesive summary of
each of the two theories you chose to focus on. Second, discuss what you see as the comparative
strengths and weaknesses of each theory and give your own argument for which is a better approach to
ethics and why (or why both are equally good or bad, etc.).
Summary: You must summarize each of the two theories you are discussing in about a paragraph each
(or two each if necessary),. For this assignment your summary should not give any judgment of each
theory but simply present a neutral explanation of its main points (any evaluation should be in your
analysis)., Your summary must be mostly in your own words you can and should use key terms and
limited use of direct quotes is helpful but you cannot just copy the text notes or other sources.,
Analysis: You must discuss and explain what you see as the strengths and weaknesses of each theory and
give your own argument for which theory is better and why. ,This portion should not just repeat the
strengths and weaknesses given in the text and notes or outside sources you must focus mainly on your
own clearly given analysis and your own rationally supported argument., You do not have to argue that
one theory is better than the other, as long as you have a clear conclusion that you argue for.
Example Topic: Compare utilitarianism and deontology. First, summarize the main points of each theory.
Then, give the strengths and weaknesses of each theory, and end with your own clear argument for which
is a better approach to morality and why.
Setup: Your essay will have two main parts: first, a relevant summary of course material. Secondly, your
own critical analysis or argument regarding the theories you are addressing. You must have both parts,
and they should be roughly equal in length. In addition to those two main parts, your paper should further
begin with a one-paragraph introduction (including a thesis statement) and end with a one-paragraph
conclusion. Again, this must be a new paper written specifically for this course by you individually; you
cannot reuse any work from other courses (including taking Ethics previously) without approval.
Due Date and Submission:

the essay as a Word document (.doc or .docx) to ecampus; it must be a Word document specifically Critical Thinking on Different Approaches. Your

Length and Format: Your essay must be no less than 1000 words and should not be more than 1500
words. Critical Thinking on Different Approaches It should be 12” Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1” margins on all sides. Any essay
written below the minimum length will receive a lower grade (you may go beyond the upper word limit,
if necessary, but not too much). Headings, direct quotes, footnotes, your works cited list, etc. do not count
towards the 1000-1500 words.
Sources and Citation: All sources of information, including course materials, must be properly cited
according to either MLA, APA, or Chicago style citation, resources for which can be easily found online.
• You are required to cite the course materials relevant to the two theories you are writing on. You
may use the assigned reading, your notes from lecture, or the online course notes for this, or any
combination of the above.
• You may use outside sources if you want to, but it is not required; if you use any outside sources,
then you are required to properly cite them in your essay. Citing outside sources does not replace
the requirement to cite the relevant course material.
• Use of artificial intelligence or AI tools (for example, Chat GPT or similar) is strongly discouraged Critical Thinking on Different Approaches
on this assignment, as this assignment is meant to test your own writing, understanding, and critical
thinking. Very limited use of AI may be allowed but counts as an outside source and must be
properly cited; this includes a works cited entry, indicating all places in your writing where you
took information from AI, and using quotation marks when copying text directly.
Remember, anything that is not your own thinking or idea must be properly referenced! Proper citation
always includes two things: in-text citation (parenthetical references or footnotes) and full information for
each source at the end of the essay (a works cited list). Any use of a source that is not cited constitutes
plagiarism. Direct word-for-word copying from a source without use of both quotation marks and source
citation is also plagiarism. Plagiarism may result in a 0 on this assignment.

For this week’s discussion board we will focus on the skill of analysis. First, in your own words, explain why analysis is the most basic or fundamental skill of strategic thinking. Then, find a work of art online and save it to your post either as an attachment or by pasting it directly into your post.

Let me know if you do not know how to do this. Next I want you to do a component analysis, an outline analysis, and a focal plane analysis of the artwork. I also want you to explain what you think the artwork is about (what is it trying to say) or what is important about it using your focal plane analysis. Here are some instructions on how to do this, or see my post for an example. Analysis-With-Art-revised-January2018.pdf Critical Thinking Assignment

Taking a Health History

By Academic Wizard Blog

Taking a Health History

Recall some of your most challenging patients for gathering a health history. If you include a crying young child with a distracted parent, a moody adolescent, or an older adult with perhaps something to hide—or maybe all three—get ready to revisit those patients for this Assessment.

’

The setting is Neighborhood Clinic, a fictional community health center. The avatar clinic director, Asha Gill, will introduce and conclude each scenario. You will engage with the following avatar patients:

Archie, age 7, and Gabriel Moore, his father, who are making a first visit to the clinic because a very miserable Archie is sick

Jasmine Walker, age 14, at the clinic for a high school physical but without her mother, who has previously accompanied her to appointments

Colleen Hart, age 76, whose stepson may join the appointment, much to her resistance

Each scenario presents a distinct situation for the professional nurse and involves applying emotional intelligence and knowledge of health history information to gather for each patient.

To prepare:

Access the Health History Challenges template document and review the requirements of this Assessment.,

View the video of each scenario as many times as you need., You are encouraged to take notes for details to support your analysis of each scenario., Keep these questions in mind as you view and analyze each scenario:

What health history information is needed?,

What questions would you ask to obtain it?,

How would you demonstrate emotional intelligence to win trust?,

What may be presenting as a specific problem or need?,

Compete the Assessment based on the interactive media, other Learning Resources, and any additional resources you identify.

To complete the Competency Assessment:

Use the Health History Challenges template document to record your responses for each scenario. Your submitted document should be 4–5 pages plus a reference page. You should address the following:
