In a 1-to-3-page reflective essay, consider how anthropologists study modern media, and consider how you, in your nursing career, see yourself using modern media professionally.
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?
Integrate the textbook reading in your reflection, using concepts, quotes, and/or paraphrases and citations, from both the “Doing Fieldwork” Chapter 3 by Nelson and the “Media Anthropology” Chapter 16 by Peake. Paraphrase or quote and cite from at least one scholarly, outside source to support your reflections, also.
