• Quality in medical care may be defined as achieving the greatest benefit at the lowest risk. How have the priorities of our health care system and the allocation of resources addressed this goal?

Answer 1

Hello. It sounds like you are a nursing student, and I have had a great experience helping nursing students to pass the NCLEX.

Your essay topic is how the priorities of our healthcare system and the allocation of resources have addressed the goal of achieving the greatest benefit at the lowest risk.

Of course, this essay requires research. In researching the priorities and allocation of resources within our current healthcare system, you need to use the CRAP method -- ask:

C Is the source current. This is especially important in healthcare in which new research is being completed constantly. Give priority to publications that are from the current year or recently updated.

R Is the source relevant? You want sources which are clearly and directly discussing your topic, not partially addressing it.

A Is the source authoritative? The author(s) need to be experts in their fields with excellent credentials. This information is usually included in the publication.

P What is the purpose of the source? Look for .gov, .edu, and with caution .org websites. All these sites for the most part have a goal of transmitting accurate information. Avoid .com sites since their purpose is to sell something.

Once you have completed your research, taking good notes and keeping good track of your sources, you will benefit from tutoring to compose a strong essay and provide required formatting and documentation.

I wish you much success!
