Critical thinking is a: - Answer✔✔-continuous process characterized by open-mindedness,

continual inquiry, and perseverance. It may help the nurse to be open to new ideas and

incorporate modifications. Critical thinking involves recognizing that an issue exists, analyzing

information about the issue, evaluating information, and making conclusions. It is a step-by-step

process to come to a logical solution for a patient health problem. A critical thinker considers

what is important in each clinical situation, imagines and explores alternatives, considers ethical

principles, and makes informed decisions about the care of patients. Critical thinking does not

depend on only the diagnostic reports and analysis. (pp.59)

The nurse should avoid personal bias in order to deliver effective care to patients. In this case,

the nurse is caring for American patients first and then attending to the needs of European

patients. This indicates that the nurse is showing personal bias toward the American patients.

Illogical thinking is characterized by the nurse's failure to address a problem systematically.

Sometimes the nurse may overlook the important data related to the patient's medical

condition, which may lead to erroneous assumptions. The nurse is open-minded to improve the

quality of nursing practice. Closed-mindedness may cause a nurse to overlook important

instruction, advice, or information offered by colleagues or patients and lead to incorrect

assumptions and ineffective nursing care. In this case, there is no evidence that the student

nurse has demonstrated closed-mindedness by ignoring or overlooking instruction or advice.

perseverance. In this case, the nurse is trying to stimulate the appetite of the child by

for a patient. Curiosity is the trait of a critical thinking nurse who always tries to ask "why?" A

disciplined nurse follows a systematic approach to plan and achieve goals. (p. 59)
