Critical Issue Analysis

Critically evaluate the weaknesses/limitations/problems of the article. Is the work thorough? Fair? Clear? Convincing?

6b. With respect to the author’s conclusions (either specified or implied), I reject or do not agree with the following and why:

In his essay, Kessel has both strengths and weaknesses in his writing. Some strengths are that Kessel uses lots of evidence and with insightful details. Some weaknesses though are his faulty logic and exaggeration. Overall, in Kessel’s essay, the strengths won over the weaknesses creating an effective persuasive essay.

The reason for this essay is to reflect on a critical incident experience during my six week placement as a student nurse on an orthopedic ward. To explore an event as a critical incident is a value judgment, and the basis of that judgment is the significance attached to the meaning of the incident. Critical incidents are created or produced by the way we look at a situation. Tripp (1993)

2. What is the bias of this Author, as it relates to this topic? What might account for this bias?

9. What do you think is the purpose of this article? Does the writer want readers to change their minds about something?

a. both are correct on different issues and there is one issue that is undecided because the facts are not there

Debriefing in psychology is an art form that must be mastered to administer correctly. Many psychologists argue whether debriefing is an effective measure of removing negative effects of deception. The articles below discuss the ethics and effectiveness of debriefing.

The critical incident technique is used to gather and analyze an employees behavior through methods such as observation and interviews (Andersson & Nilsson,1964). This technique is useful in collecting information regarding behavior that amounts to successful or unsuccessful in a performance (Peterson, & Jeanneret, 2007). The procedures utilized in the critical incident technique allows for the similarities, differences and patterns of behaviors to be analyzed. This process aids in the solving of problems, and establishing principles (Hughes, Williamson, & Lloyd, 2007; Flanagan, 1954).

The following analysis attempts to understand how to best formulate a stochastic model using empirical data and the proposed Kaya Identity, as well as further explore components of the IPAT equation that measures human impact on the surrounding ecological system. Using Quarterly Data from the United States from 1980-2016, an econometric critique and environmental exploration of datasets, regression functions, and pitfalls of the latter will help further examine previous works on the use of the Kaya Identity

Even though the authors have valid points and cite credible sources, their argument fails to be effective in several ways. For one,

In this article Maloney covers stress debriefing for nurses involved in traumatic incidents in throughout the workplace, specifically paying close attention to critical incidents and pediatric nurses. Traumatic events are common in the nursing workplace and if not properly tended to, can result in physical and emotional distress. Although quantitative research cannot determine the efficacy of critical incient stress debriefing, the author used a great example of a study that had extremely positive results that cut down the turnover in one hospital by half. Maloney also used studies that supported that critical incident stress debriefing was found useful over 98% of the time, and helped nurses find meaning over 97% of the time. Stress in these work environments can cause many symptoms that would effect a person’s well being not only physically but also emotionally, this article offers a great tool that can be used to reduce stress levels, and shows that hospitals are also contributing to

This paper will reflect upon and explore a critical incident which occurred whilst attending a clinical placement.

It was said from the studies they all failed because they did not demonstrate a clear benefit of debriefing (McNally et al., 2003), with intervention groups and control groups reporting equivalent posttraumatic symptoms.

9. What additional facts, statistics, or other evidence do you need to be persuaded to accept this conclusion? The author needs more scientific research done on students and their behaviors also other teachers could have given their opinion on the same topic to see if they all consist of the same
