Assignment task: Think critically, as anthropologists do.
- First, describe in your essay how anthropologists study modern media.
- Then, apply those observations regarding ways anthropologists study modern media and describe ways nurses do or could use modern media professionally.
- Describe ways you, as a nurse, could use modern media professionally.
- What would be some potential benefits of the use of modern media to the modern nurse?
- What would be some potential drawbacks? How might such media use affect the nurse-and-patient relationship?
