Expand All

Introduction

In your healthcare career, you will be confronted with many problems that demand a solution. By using research skills, you can learn what others are doing and saying about similar problems. Then, you can analyze the problem and the people and systems it affects. You can also examine potential solutions and their ramifications. This assessment allows you to practice this approach with the real-world problem you’ve selected.

Prepare

For this assessment, you will analyze the same current healthcare problem or issue topic area you selected for Assessments 2 and 3. To explore the chosen topic, use the first four topics of the 

Socratic Problem-Solving Approach
 for critical thinking.

1. Start by defining the healthcare problem or issue based on the selected healthcare topic.

2. Provide details about the problems or issues that are part of the chosen topic, and identify causes for the problems or issues.

3. Identify at least three scholarly or academic peer-reviewed journal articles about the topic you are discussing by using articles you found for Assessment 2 or by searching the Capella library using the 

BSN Program Library Research Guide
.

Write Your Paper
