process needed for sound diagnostic reasoning and clinical judgment. Seventeen
critical thinking skills have been identified, including *setting priorities.*

database.

regular intervals to follow up on short-term or chronic health problems.
(4) An *emergency database* calls for rapid collection of data, which commonly
occurs while performing lifesaving measures.

and symptoms and on curing disease.
