Learning Outcomes
• Discuss the use of critical thinking skills in nursing.
• Distinguish between problem-solving and the nursing process.
• Differentiate considerations related to clinical decision-making about patients throughout the lifespan.
• Discuss the components of clinical decision-making.
Learning Resources
• Ignatavicus, D. (2021). Pp. 10-12 & 18-27.
• ATI Fundamentals for Nursing 10.0 – Chapters 7 & 8.
• ATI Engage Fundamentals: (Review)
• Clinical Decision-Making – Clinical Judgement Process
• Priority-Setting frameworks
Patient-Centered Care
● A competency recognizing the patient as the source of control of his or her care.
● Includes nursing theories of caring compassion, and whole person care to respect the diverse preferences and needs of the patients and their families.
● All patients have the right to have their basic physical care and comfort needs met.
● Requires an interdisciplinary team approach to meet the individual needs of the patient.
Critical Thinking
● The skill of using logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative healthcare solutions, conclusions, or approaches to clinical or practice problems.
● Learning to analyze and interpret data to solve a problem to achieve a desired outcome.
● Includes questioning, analysis, synthesis, interpretation, inference, reasoning, intuition, application, and creativity.
Critical Thinking
● Without critical thinking, safety lapses and errors occur that can lead to harm or death.
● Caring behavior best predicts a nurse’s willingness to use critical thinking.
● Fundamental elements of critical thinking:
○ Patient-Centered Care
○ Safety
○ Evidence-Based Practice
○ Informatics
○ Teamwork and Collaboration
○ Quality Improvement
● Based on logic, creativity, and intuition
● Driven by needs
● Focused on Safety and Quality
● Guided by Standards
Critical Thinking
● Critical thinking involves questioning with meaning
● Examining personal thinking and the thinking of others
● Judgments are made on facts, not assumptions
● New ideas and alternatives are offered in a constructive way
● Willing to consider other ideas and recognizes that there may be more than one right way to do something
Clinical Reasoning
● The process by which nurses collect cues, process the information, come to an understanding of a patient problem or situation, plan and implement interventions, evaluate outcomes, and reflect on and learn from the process.
● Includes: Anticipating consequences of actions, Interpreting data, Noticing cues, Setting priorities
● Takes place through a process known as ADPIE
○ A- Assessing
○ D- Diagnosing (Nursing not medical)
○ P- Planning
○ I- Implementing
○ E- Evaluating
Five-Step RN Nursing Process
● Assessment - complete and analyze a comprehensive assessment of the patient
● Nursing Diagnosis - using assessment data gathered formulate individualized nursing diagnosis
● Planning - prioritize nursing diagnosis, interventions, and alternatives to be carried out
● Implementation - direct and carry out the plan of care. Collaborate and delegate to other team members as appropriate
● Evaluation - evaluate the patient’s progress and adjust the plan of care as needed to achieve goals
