Please edit this critique of these two articles attached for me. I’ve never done a critique and I’m unsure how this should look and it’s for group project so I want to make sure it is good.
These are the directions from my Professor.
Select 2 articles from the pool
of articles you will use to base your recommendations on.
Write a 1 page critique of the 2 articles as an example to
show you know how to evaluate
the strengths and weaknesses of a research study. You
should critique ALL the articles
you have selected, but you only need to write this 1-page
critique on 2 of the articles as
an example of the thought process you use when critiquing a
study. Refer to each article
with Author (year) or (Author, year). For example you may
say something like, “The
purpose of the Barry (2023) study was to determine whether
eating breakfast improved
blood sugar control among adults with pre-diabetes who were
not accustomed to eating
breakfast. The internal validity of this study (Barry,
2023) was strengthened by the
RCT design.” The most important elements to include here
are the overall purpose of the
study and the strengths and weaknesses for establishing
internal and external validity of
the study. Include the articles described in this critique
in the appendix of the paper.
This is what our project is about
Dietary Patterns to Prevent Heart
Disease
You are the nutrition manager for
a major hospital in the Texas Medical Center. You manage a team of 10
dietitians and administrative staff members. Your patient population primarily
consists of older adults (>65 yrs) from a mix of SES, race, and ethnic
groups. The hospital administrator wants to begin offering more prevention
services to patients in addition to the standard treatment approaches for those
with pre-existing conditions. As part of this effort, she has asked you to
develop a nutrition education webinar series on dietary patterns to prevent
heart disease. As a licensed and registered dietitian, you have an ethical and
professional obligation to be sure the information included in the webinar is
evidence-based. A friendly inpatient nurse recommends you use the webinar
series to promote the ketogenic diet as an overall healthy diet. She swears she
has seen really positive results in her patients that practice it. You are
aware that there is research to show the keto diet reduces seizure activity in
children and it may be helpful for reducing blood glucose levels among those
with type II diabetes, but you are not sure whether it has been shown to
prevent heart disease. You will make this decision based on a review of the
literature, which will answer the below two questions.
