Critical Thinking - A Problem-Solving Approach
Critical thinking is a key skill you will need to master in both your academic and professional lives. Being able to identify a problem, analyze that problem or issue from multiple perspectives, identify and evaluate solutions to the problem, and then convince others of the value of your decision requires logical thinking, the ability to identify and synthesize credible supporting evidence, and the ability to communicate your thinking clearly and professionally in writing and speaking.
For this assessment, you will analyze a current health care problem or issue of interest to you, the same topic you previously used to complete Assessment. The assessment requires critical thinking. Review the critical thinking information in the Building Skills for Critical Thinking resources. To explore your chosen topic, you should use the first two steps of the Socratic Problem-Solving Approach, as described on Campus, to aid your critical thinking.
Evidence-Based Practices
In health care, research is important. It helps you see what has worked and what has not worked effectively for wellness and patient care. It is important for you to explore research about evidenced-based practices in your areas of interest. This research will help you develop and demonstrate a professional health care perspective and expand your organizational, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
