As a professional in the health field, you will undoubtedly be referring to cause/effect studies for the rest of your professional life. In this discussion, you are asked to expand and deepen your understanding of clinical studies. In 1999, a study on the causes of myopia appeared in the prestigious journal Nature (Quinn). The study received wide-spread publicity in leading newspapers, such as the ...

Initial Post Instructions The reasoning used in inductive generalization is based on empirical observations and the inferences we draw from such observations. As such, it is closely allied to the scientific method. It is also the method used in polls and surveys; reports of the results of these polls and surveys can heavily influence decision making in health professions and other areas of public opinion. For the initial post, address the following: • Using what you learn from the text a...

Initial Post Instructions This week, you will write an argumentative essay. As the text points out, this is the apex of Bloom's taxonomy, in which you now use all of the skills you have learned in creating a logical argument. For the initial post, address the following: • Considering what you have written or where you are in the writing process, analyze and evaluate your own argument: o Is it inductive, deductive, or a mixture of both? o Explain the form(s) of inductive or deductive...

Initial Post Instructions Deductive arguments are top-down, working from general principles to specific cases. Inductive reasoning, on the other hand, is bottom-up, working from specific observations and looking for patterns that lead to a general conclusion. Your career path in healthcare and health-related fields will present many problems that will require critical reasoning. Think about potential issues or even issues you have already encountered. Determine what type of critical reasoning ...

Initial Post Instructions Chapter 1 shows a model of Bloom's taxonomy - they are the steps to mastery of any learning endeavor and the basic components of critical reasoning. They have recently been simplified and reordered as follows: • Remember • Understand • Apply • Analyze • Evaluate • Create Beyond remembering - after all, when the surgeon asks for a Satinsky, you don't want to have to look it up on your Smartphone - how do you think Bloom's steps will apply to you as...

Initial Post Instructions Achievement is not a matter of GPA or points earned - or lost - on an exam. Achievement is measured in terms of the distance from where you started to where you are now. Everyone does not win - but everyone can achieve a personal best. Achievement is measured in how well you rise to a challenge; you do not have to win the Marathon, you need only run it. Perhaps you had personal challenges (kids, hurricanes) that you had to overcome. Perhaps your role as a caretaker...

Initial Post Instructions Deductive categorical reasoning is demanding. Its forms are rigid, but they are rigid with a reason; deductive categorical arguments are intended to prove the conclusion. If the premises are true and the conclusion logically follows, you have no choice but to accept the argument. The categorical syllogism is like a piece of machinery, the parts working together to produce a result - in the case of the categorical syllogism, the truth of the conclusion. For the initial...

Initial Post Instructions Evidence-based practice requires...evidence. The careful collection of evidence is 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...

Initial Post Instructions Consider some of the skills and knowledge you need to understand truth-functional logic. Forming the truth-functional claims means you have to have a good understanding of how English sentences are formed in order to convey accurate and precise meaning.

For the initial post, address the fol...
