The ARC is a ‘tool’ to evaluate critical thinking. The specific 6 elements and tasks of the ARC that you will be graded on include:
1.Communication: Define the problem in your own words.
2.Analysis: Compare & contrast the available solutions within the scenario.
3.Problem Solving: Select one of the available solutions and defend it as your chosen solution.
4.Evaluation: Identify the weaknesses of your chosen solution.
5.Synthesis: Suggest ways to improve/strengthen your chosen solution.
6.Reflection: Reflect on your own thought process after completing the assignment.
a.“What did you learn from this process?”
b.“What would you do differently next time to improve?”
Review the scenario described below.Then answer the questions in an APA style format utilizing your textbook, the internet and the information provided within the scenario to support your analysis. Make sure that you thoroughly respond to each goal as well as each of the questions posed within the goal to successfully complete the assignment.
Scenario #1:
The suspect in a robbery was fleeing from police, when he crossed into oncoming traffic and collided head on with John Doe’s truck, severely injuring Doe, and killing himself. Mr. Doe was airlifted to the local hospital burn unit.
Police investigating the robbery and the ensuing accident demanded that hospital personnel draw blood from the victim, John Doe.
The nurse told police that she was not allowed to draw blood from an unconscious patient. She further stated that police did not have a warrant and could therefore not collect blood samples from a badly injured patient. Furthermore, she reiterated that the patient was not conscious, so he could not give consent.
Choose your perspective for this assignment – you may decide to represent the hospital, nurse, victim, or the police.
