Evidence-based Arguments

In the course of the nursing career, there will always be instances when the nurse is required to present a compelling argument. The development and presentation of ideas and arguments is indeed the cornerstone of the body of medical knowledge that has been amassed over the centuries. The application of the modalities of analyzing an argument is effective in ensuring that the proposer makes and wins his/her point.

The methods of analyzing an argument are effective in ensuring that a point has been made and won since they are helpful in assisting the proposer to organize his/her thoughts. The two central modalities of analyzing an argument include; the identification of the focal claim or thesis and the identification of the implicit and explicit reasons behind the claim (Fahy, 2008). When the proposer’s thoughts are organized in this regard, he/she stands a good chance of making and winning his point.

The importance of diagramming the findings of an evidence-based argument cannot be underestimated. When the findings thereto are voluminous (as a result of the usage of plenty of words to explain the point), diagramming provides an accurate summary of the findings, thus the audience can synthesize the information in a systematic and expeditious manner. In this regard, diagramming can effectively be done through graphical presentations. The application of the modalities of analyzing an argument is effective in ensuring that the proposer makes and wins his/her point. Diagramming through graphical presentation is thus helpful in presenting findings in a clear and accurate manner.
