Study Notes
Clinical Decision Making and Critical Thinking
- Clinical decision making involves anticipating, noticing, recognizing, and organizing patient problems to prioritize actions and minimize adverse outcomes.
- Critical thinking is a deliberate, nonlinear process involving questioning, analysis, synthesis, interpretation, inference, reasoning, intuition, and creativity.
Levels of Critical Thinking
- Basic: Nurses rely on established rules and follow a predefined process without adjustment for individual patient needs.
- Complex: Nurses analyze and examine choices independently, recognizing multiple potential solutions.
- Commitment: Nurses anticipate needs and make autonomous decisions without needing assistance.
Five Components of Critical Thinking
- Knowledge: Foundations drawn from nursing education and sciences.
- Experience: Gained through clinical practice and patient interactions.
- Nursing Process: A systematic five-step approach (assessment, data analysis, planning, implementation, evaluation).
- Standards: Evidence-based knowledge guiding care, established by regulatory and professional bodies.
- Attitude: Personal qualities such as confidence, integrity, creativity, humility, and willingness to learn.
Priority Setting
- Organized approach to nursing problems by urgency and importance, using models like Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
- Maslow's Hierarchy:
- Physiological needs (oxygen, nutrition) as most basic.
- Safety and security encompass physical and psychological aspects.
- Social needs include relationships and support systems.
- Esteem reflects control and acceptance.
- Self-actualization pertains to personal growth and spiritual well-being.
Critical Thinking in Nursing Practice
- Identify patient problems by analyzing cues and recognizing connections.
- Choose care strategies and reflect on outcomes for continuous improvement.
- Recognizing signs of potential complications is crucial for effective patient care.
Clinical Decision-Making
- Key differentiator between registered nurses and other healthcare staff; RNs identify changes in conditions and take immediate action.
- Clinical reasoning improves over time through pattern recognition from repeated patient observations.
Developmental Journey
- Benner’s model outlines five levels toward clinical competence: novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert.
- Progression through these levels varies, restarting with each new position in one's career.
Application of Critical Thinking
- Collect patient information and assess for urgencies or potential problems upon meeting them.
- Continuous awareness of cues helps in planning relevant care strategies.
Conclusion
- Nurses must be adept at predicting and preventing problems by being vigilant and taking timely actions based on clinical cues.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Basic Human Needs Model
- A framework designed to understand the different levels of human needs.
- Comprises five tiers: physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.
- Assists caregivers in recognizing and addressing individual patient needs.
- Prioritizes needs based on their position within the hierarchy, helping to determine urgency.
- Encourages patients to engage in self-discovery and recognize their own needs.
- Emphasizes the importance of fulfilling lower-level needs before higher-level needs can be addressed.
