Annotated Bibliography For Health Care Problems

Create a 4-6 page annotated bibliography and summary based on your research related to best practices addressing a current health care problem or issue

 

For this assessment, you will research best practices related to a current health care problem.  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.

 

The Socratic Method is a teaching style in which teachers ask students questions designed to stimulate more complete thinking and deeper insight. It also relates to the steps of performing scientific research. When the Socratic approach is applied, students are prompted to look more closely at your ideas, question your assumptions and accepted premises, and view your choices through a rigorous lens.
