the first job of every medical practitioner, not least the nurse, who has the most
extensive and intimate contact with the patient. However, it does not stop with the
nurse. Whatever your role - social worker, hospital administration, human services
- whether your problem is the allocation of scarce resources, where to add or cut
staff, or the treatment plan for a patient, you will need to present and defend your
position in a clearly structured argument
For this discussion, address the following:
Explain how applying the methods of analyzing an argument can help you
make and win your point.
As you collect and prepare to present your evidence-based argument, how
might diagramming your findings be helpful in clearly and accurately
conveying your findings?
