The most important thing you will learn from this course\u2014and from your college education\u2014is how to critically evaluate information presented to you. Critical thinking involves asking five questions: who, what, when, where, how.Find and read an article in the media\u00a0or a video clip that reports\u00a0the results of a scientific study. \u00a0 You must include the link to the website.How accurately did the mass media report the study?Answer the\u00a0above five questions about the\u00a0article (Who, What, When, Where, and How).\u00a0Refer to\u00a0page 353 of your text and be sure to cover all the\u00a0highlights discussed.Do NOT use entertainment or sports articles for your review. These are to be research based.Directions:You will write a one-page critical review of the article.\u00a0 The review should answer each of the five questions.\u00a0 You must cite your source.\u00a0 If it is a website, please make sure you put the entire web address. Remember you are evaluating critically, not just summarizing.

Sentinel node biopsy. Retrieved August 30, 2001, from the World Wide Web: http:\/\/www.intellihealth.com\/IH\/ihtIH\/WSIHW000\/9103\/29497.htmlWhere: The Intellihealth Web site is a general information health Web site. It draws information from \u201ctrusted sources\u201d (e.g., Harvard Medical School, University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine); however, it sells health products and is financed by an insurance company. They do not endorse specific products. In general, the information on this site should be viewed with caution but may be an appropriate first step.Who: Ty Eggenberger, a correspondent for Intellihealth. No evidence is given for the author\u2019s credentials, but the Web site indicates that the editors are experts and use trusted sources.When: Although the site was last updated 8\/27\/01, there is no indication when the article was written. It appears to be current, but this cannot be evaluated.What: This article reviews a new diagnostic procedure, sentinel node biopsy, for breast cancer. They suggest that women investigate this option, but caution that the surgeon\u2019s experience level is associated with diagnostic accuracy. The information is supported with quotations from a surgeon at a prestigious hospital. The argument appears reasonable and is appropriately cautious. If I were looking for advice on this issue, I would search in more clinically oriented databases to look for data on hits and misses for this diagnostic tool.How: I was disappointed that no source was cited. This makes it difficult for me to evaluate how the evidence was collected.In summary, this is a good first-step article that presents a new diagnostic tool; however, before insisting on this type of biopsy over an axillary dissection, I would look for further information.<\/p>\n \n
