Assess - correct answer ✔✔To systematically and continuously collect, validate, and communicate patient data.
Concept Mapping - correct answer ✔✔Instructional strategy that requires learners to identify, graphically display and link key concepts.
Critical Thinking - correct answer ✔✔Thought that is disciplined, comprehensive, based on intellectual standards, and, as a result, well-reasoned; a systematic way to form and shape ones thinking that functions purposefully and exactingly.
Critical Thinking Indicators - correct answer ✔✔CTIs - evidence-based descriptions of behaviors that demonstrate the knowledge, characteristics, and skills that promote critical thinking in clinical practice.
