Use https://kidney.ca/ (the Canadian Kidney Foundation) – my reason for choosing this
website is because I spend a lot of time working on a nephrology floor. This website is a useful
tool to recommend to patients who are newly diagnosed with kidney disease. It provides a lot
of wonderful information.
Information found on the Internet can vary substantially in terms of its quality. The purpose of this
assignment is to help you systematically evaluate the quality of website information and determine
its usefulness in guiding your own practice, or the health-related decisions of clients.
Use the criteria described in Unit 9 (Consumer Health Informatics) for determining validity of
health information on the web; include other relevant supportive literature; and critique the quality
of the information found on that website. Think critically about each criterion listed and why it is
deemed to be important. For each criterion, ask yourself, “So what?” More specifically, consider the
following:
• Why is this criteria important?
• What are the assumptions underlying the question posed?
• How does this criteria assist the user in evaluating the quality of the health information on
the website?
• Would you apply the criterion with equal rigour regardless of the underlying intent of the
website? Why or why not?
• If not, which of the criteria do you consider to be of most importance? Of least importance?
Provide rationale for your responses.
It is not sufficient to simply state that the website does or does not meet a specific criterion.
Consider also how the quality of the information on the website is affected by its ability (or failure)
to comply with the stated criteria. In other words, your critique should address the preceding
questions and provide a balanced view in discussing the strengths, limitations, and areas for
improvement of the website.

marks)

marks)

Sample Solution

what they should be working on, rather than general stating that they need to work as a team. Peter, you recalled noticing that Barry and Dave failed to meet standards, and initiated a meeting with each of them individually. Barry was showing his concerns in an angrily manner by shouting at you saying, “you combined windows and doors into one workshop, We’re working together as you asked”. (Cockburn-Wooten, Simpson & Zorn, 2010). Although it may have looking like Dave and Barry were slacking, they were doing as you have asked, to work together. Organizations run accordingly to rules and regulations. If these standards were made clearly from the first day on the job some confusion would have been made clear. Instead of addressing how you want to see the company work as a team, you should have addressed planning and how individuals need to function on their own rather than as a team 24/7. Planning allows employees to look into the future and determine what they should be doing. When planning gets brought into the scenario, employees are more likely to want to achieve those goals which allows them to work harder not only for the organization, but for self-satisfaction. When mentioning that everyone working together is a goal, it makes it known in the wrong way that the employees should form some kind of bond and friendship with their co-workers. No future goals were addressed, none of you managers have given commands in a strictly manner. You need to show control, which ensures the comparison between goals and activities to make sure the company is functioning progressively was not initiated (Miller, 2015). No elements of management were given and therefore the reason for employees failed standards are due to these standards not being met by yo
