That’s because this course provides pivotal information that can help learners (just like you) achieve their professional dreams!Do you see what we did there? We tried to persuade you about how great this course is. Did we make a good argument? Were you convinced?In this course, we turn our attention to the strategies necessary to create a successful academic argument. The primary goal for this course will be to demonstrate the foundational skills for writing a research paper that argues or persuades.To persuade an audience, a written work needs a thesis statement. A persuasive thesis statement is critical to an effective proposal because it succinctly and clearly conveys your position and previews your supporting points. A thesis statement is more than a sentence that describes a topic. It is a bold sentence that presents a point of view, an opinion, or an idea that is arguable. Because it is arguable, a thesis statement goes beyond making an observation—it makes a case for or against something.You have probably heard the phrase "know your audience." This is crucial to being a successful persuasive writer. Imagine that you were planning to write an appeal to your school board, but you wrote for an audience in another community. Even if your writing was strong, the argument would be moot.Consider your audience. Who you choose to write for influences how you write. Your instructor is, of course, part of the audience for your paper; however, you do not need to write exclusively for your instructor. Think of this: Who needs to hear what you want to say?Understand who your audience is. This will help you to focus your writing. Effective writing is focused writing.Know the context. Focused writing is easier to accomplish within the appropriate context. For example, the context might be to write an informative paper about an area within your discipline.InstructionsPart 1: The Thesis and Supports of a SpeechReview the following persuasive speeches from various times in history.

Competencies Evaluate factors integral to clinical       reasoning. Explain the impact of relational       inquiry when recognizing and analyzing cues to action in the process of       clinical reasoning. Integrate modes of inquiry to generate       and evaluate hypotheses in the context of clinical reasoning. Determine appropriate responses when       integrating situated cognition into clinical reasoning. Modify clinical judgement within an       iterative, outcome-based cycle of clinical reasoning and client needs. Scenario You are a student in the last term of a BSN Program. You are preparing for an end of term exam. To help you prepare, your instructor developed three real world clinical scenarios to provide opportunities for you to apply clinical reasoning and clinical judgement. The instructor stated, “You received reports on these clients. Decide which one you need to see first and then make appropriate nursing decisions based on relevant information to promote positive client outcomes.” The three scenarios include: Patient One: JR is a 55- year-old male admitted 8 hours prior for 24-hour hold to evaluate for possible myocardial infarction. Serial Troponins within normal range and 12 lead ECG indicated evidence of prior right anterior wall myocardial damage.  Patient Two: EH is a 40-year-old female admitted within the past hour with acute onset severe right upper quadrant pain and vomiting for the past 36 hours. Waiting on labs, ECG monitoring showing occasional premature ventricular contracts (PVCs). Patient Three: BW is a 21-year-old male athlete admitted yesterday with fever of 103 and diagnosis of influenza. He rested well overnight. Morning chest x-ray revealed mild infiltrates in left lower lobe.  Instructions Record your answers to these statements. Rank the three scenarios provided in       order of priority related to which client you will assess first, second       and third. Defend your selection for the three       ranked scenarios.
