Indeed, this course has been very impactful, especially in matters to do with critical thinking and decision making. One area that requires total concentration is the selection of evidence too support a cause-effect relationship. Many times, researchers fail to observe or identify rival causes in research, which may lead to a false conclusion. It is also essential to get sufficient evidence when supporting a particular claim. Nurses today are expected to practice from an evidence-based perspective. Having the ability to identify rival causes will help enhance the reliability of evidence used in decision making (Mackey & Bassendowski, 2017). Overall, your discussion is quite impressive!
