Study Notes
Caputi Clinical Judgment Framework (CCJF) - Step 5: Evaluating Outcomes
-
Evaluating Data: Assessing intervention effectiveness by comparing initial and follow-up data to adjust treatment.
- Example: Nurse assesses pain levels before and after medication to decide if treatment needs adjustment.
- Practical Application: Nurses use data to tailor treatments and improve patient outcomes.
-
Evaluating and Correcting Thinking: Reflecting on clinical judgment quality to identify errors, evaluate outcomes, and improve future decisions.
- Example: Nurse assists a patient without assessing their mobility needs, leading to a fall. The nurse reflects on missed cues to implement better fall prevention strategies.
- Practical Application: Nurses use feedback and self-reflection to make safer decisions and improve patient care.
Practice Questions - CCJF Step 5 Application
-
Question 1: A nurse calls the HCP about a patient with a high temperature. The HCP requests additional vital signs and labs. The nurse realizes they did not use which competency before calling the HCP?
- Correct Answer: Determining important information to collect. (The nurse omitted critical data collection steps before contacting the HCP)
-
Question 2: A patient gains 5 pounds in 2 days despite fluid overload prevention interventions. What competency is the nurse applying?
- Correct Answer: Evaluating data. (The nurse is assessing intervention effectiveness based on observable data.)
