Case Analysis Guidelines
2. The first step is to summarize the case. What was the specific problem the doctor, patient, healthcare administrator, or medical researcher was facing? What actions did the agent featured in the case take to solve the problem or issue? Try to summarize the case for someone who has never read it before. Be sure to use your own words as you summarize the case! A good method is to read the case several times, and then try to write a “sketch” of the case from memory. At any event, the most important goal is to summarize the case using your own words. Your summary of the case should be approximately
one half to
three quarters of a page
in length.
3. The second step is to summarize the argument provided in one of the commentaries following the case. What does the commentator argue about the case? What recommendation does the commentator make, and what reasons does the commentator provide to support the recommendation? You might want to “sketch” an outline of the argument before beginning the summary (identify the
thesis and the
reasons that support it). Your summary of the commentator’s position should be approximately
one half to
three quarters of a page
in length.
4. Quotations from the case should be kept to a minimum. For a case analysis, you should
paraphrase material presented in the text as much as possible. Try to present the issues in your own words and formulations. Use citations to indicate the material you paraphrase and summarize.
Please use the APA in-text citation format (including page numbers). If you cannot avoid providing a direct quotation, please indicate it by using quotation marks and page numbers (APA in-text citation format) so that the reader may reference it later.
Also include a title page and works cited page in APA format.
5. The final step is to analyze the actions taken by the agent(s) to solve the ethical dilemma in question. Provide your own evaluation of the actions taken by the agents in the case. Did the actions adequately solve the issue from both a medical and an ethical perspective? Is there anything you would have done differently to solve the ethical dilemma? Try to incorporate considerations based upon the
ethical theories and concepts examined in class. Your analysis of actions taken, as well as your own recommendations, should be approximately
one page
in length. The overall length of the project should be approximately
2-2.5 pages in length. You are free to write beyond this length if you desire to do so, but please limit your paper to no more than three pages.

See full FAQWe complete each paper from scratch, and in order to make you feel safe regarding its authenticity, we check our content for plagiarism before its delivery. To do that, we use our in-house software, which can find not only copy-pasted fragments, but even paraphrased pieces of text. Unlike popular plagiarism-detection systems, which are used by most universities (e.g. Turnitin.com), we do not report to any public databases—therefore, such checking is safe.
We provide a plagiarism-free guarantee that ensures your paper is always checked for its uniqueness. Please note that it is possible for a writing company to guarantee an absence of plagiarism against open Internet sources and a number of certain databases, but there is no technology (except for turnitin.com itself) that could guarantee no plagiarism against all sources that are indexed by turnitin. If you want to be 100% sure of your paper’s originality, we suggest you check it using the WriteCheck service from turnitin.com and send us the report.
Yes. You can have a free revision during 7 days after you’ve approved the paper. To apply for a free revision, please press the revision request button on your personal order page. You can also apply for another writer to make a revision of your paper, but in such a case, we can ask you for an additional 12 hours, as we might need some time to find another writer to work on your order.
After the 7-day period, free revisions become unavailable, and we will be able to propose only the paid option of a minor or major revision of your paper. These options are mentioned on your personal order page.
