Are there elements of the argument that could have been enhanced with more detail or more argumentation?

Students will select and critique a nursing research article on an evidence-based practice related
to nursing practice or health assessment. The 2–3-page paper (not including title page and
references) will follow APA format. The student is expected to include the following elements in
the paper: a summary of the article and the research presented, a critique of the validity of the
research, and an analysis of the proposed evidence-based practice based presented in the article.
Use the following guidelines to assist with writing the paper:
1. Provide at least one to two paragraphs summarizing the essential content/ideas of the
article and describing the research
2. Include a section describing your view of the article’s balance: Did the writer address
both sides of the issue? Was there bias involved and if so, slanted towards which side?
What is your evidence of this bias or imbalance?
3. Include a section describing your opinion of the article’s quality and your own position:
Did the writer do sufficient research? Is the article technically correcting and clearly
presented and supported? Are there elements of the argument that could have been
enhanced with more detail or more argumentation? What would a follow-up article
contain to be useful to this one? Did you agree with the article?
