The document provides instructions for completing a reflection assignment on an animal research scenario. Students are told to critically reflect on their initial reactions and existing knowledge about ethics theories rather than just stating their first response. The reflection should discuss the main points of the debate, the student's stance, arguments for and against their stance, and an ethical theory supporting their view. Students must complete the scenario, fill out a template, write a 1-2 page Word reflection answering specific questions, supporting their conclusions with evidence and examples from the textbook citing at least one ethics theory and two sources.

1. Animal research scenario and reflection
nursing writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
In the scenario assignments, you are asked to reflect on responses to the presented
scenario. It should not just be writing down your first reaction or what you already know.
Reflection involves critical thinking, which means rethinking your existing knowledge and
previously held opinions in light of what we have learned about theories of ethics, logic, and
reasoning. You will need to question your current knowledge and beliefs. Discuss the main
points of the debate, what stance you take, support that stance, and discuss the opposing
argument. Also, discuss an ethical theory that would apply to defend your view.
To complete each scenario assignment:
1. Complete the entire scenario.
2. Fill out the template attached below, ask your professor for details on submission.
3. Compose the last question on the template reflection in a Word document and be sure to
address, at a minimum, the following questions:
Why do you feel the way you do about the issue presented?
Of the four responses offered in the scenario, which do you think is the most ethical and
why?
Which ethical theory would you use to support your stance? Why does this theory work?
4. Support your conclusions with evidence and specific examples from the textbook,
including a minimum of one theory of ethics to defend your stance.
5. Your reflection must be 1-2 pages in length and follow APA formatting and citation
guidelines as appropriate, making sure to cite at least two sources.
