A female patient who is receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer tells the nurse, "The treatment
for this cancer is worse than the disease itself. I'm not going to come for my therapy anymore."
The nurse responds by using critical thinking skills to address this patient problem. Which action
is the first step the nurse would take in this process?
a. The nurse judges whether the patient database is adequate to address the problem.
b. The nurse considers whether or not to suggest a counseling session for the patient.
c. The nurse reassesses the patient and decides how best to intervene in her care.
d. The nurse identifies several options for intervening in the patient's care and critiques the merit
of each option. - answer✔c. The first step when thinking critically about a situation is to identify
the purpose or goal of your thinking. Reassessing the patient helps to discipline thinking by
directing all thoughts toward the goal. Once the problem is addressed, it is important for the
nurse to judge the adequacy of the knowledge, identify potential problems, use helpful resources,
and critique the decision.
The nursing process ensures that nurses are person centered rather than task centered. Rather
than simply approaching a patient to take vital signs, the nurse thinks, "How is Mrs. Barclay
today? Are our nursing actions helping her to achieve her goals? How can we better help her?"
This demonstrates which characteristic of the nursing process?
a. Systematic

c. Dynamic

d. Universally applicable in nursing situations - answer✔b. Interpersonal. All of the other options
are characteristics of the nursing process, but the conversation and thinking quoted best
illustrates the interpersonal dimension of the nursing process
An experienced nurse tells a beginning nurse not to bother studying too hard, since most clinical
reasoning becomes "second nature" and "intuitive" once you start practicing. What thinking
below should underlie the beginning nurse's response?
a. Intuitive problem solving comes with years of practice and observation, and novice nurses
should base their care on scientific problem solving.
b. For nursing to remain a science, nurses must continue to be vigilant about stamping out
intuitive reasoning.
c. The emphasis on logical, scientific, evidence-based reasoning has held nursing back for years;
it is time to champion intuitive, creative thinking!
d. It is simply a matter of preference; some nurses are logical, scientific thinkers, and some are
intuitive, creative thinkers. - answer✔a. Beginning nurses must use nursing knowledge and
scientific problem solving as the basis of care they give; intuitive problem solving comes with
years of practice and observation
