Major Assignment : Research-Supported Argument

FIRST PARAGRAPH OF ESSAY #2

 

Challenges Facing Protection of Patients Services

 

Ethical issues are the most crucial part of any profession when it comes to executing endeavors about such a profession. Patients rights are the rights patients have when they visit a health care institution or participate in a research trial. These rights are often derived from national laws as well as international conventions. In nursing practices, several ethical concerns should be adhered to by caregivers. These ethical provisions have despairing impacts on different entities that are involved in the caregiving process. Protection of patient rights has been a major ethical issue in nursing practice, this aspect has always caused a lot of discussion and confusion. And thus, there are different conversations about this ethical issue. The confusion caused in line with this ethical concern is attributed to the challenges that are being faced when it comes to enacting this ethical issue and thus the scope of this research is to identify the challenges that are interfering with the protection of patients rights by caregivers.

 

– THIS ESSAY WILL BE A CONTINUATION OF ESSAY #2

 

The final writing assignment will be a continuation of the work youve done with Assignment 2 – the exploratory process and annotated bibliography related to ethical decision-making within your field or projected profession. In this final phase of the research process, youll move from exploration of a research question to thesis-driven argument. 
 

You concluded Assignment 2 with your tentative thesis. Youll now have a chance to refine that thesis, revise your research as needed, and develop your thesis in an argumentative essay.  Because you are now creating a focused argument, the sources you found for the annotated bibliography may not all transfer to this stage of the process. Some sources may support your more focused claim, and some will have to be abandoned. 

You are not limited to the type of claim you may make (e.g., definition, cause, proposal, position paper, evaluation). You can find guidelines for each of these kinds of arguments in Read, Reason, Write.

As you draft, follow the strategies for writing arguments in general (Ch. 4), writing the research-supported argument in particular (Ch. 13), as well as the sample MLA essay, pp. 301-311, and sample APA essay, pp. 338-346.
