| critical thinking clinical reasoning and clinical judgment: THINK Like a Nurse! Keith A. Rischer, 2013-09-03 About: To prepare you for real world practice, this book will highlight content areas most relevant to the bedside and why they must be mastered and understood. To help visualize the professional development that is needed as you transition to the responsibilities of the professional nurse, I use the metaphor of building a house; not a static structure, but a unique, vibrant living house that is a reflection of how you choose to build and add to it over time. Nursing is a living and vibrant practice that requires your personal involvement and engagement to promote the well-being of those you care for. The components of this living home include: Foundation: A house must have a firm and stable foundation. The ethical comportment or the art of nursing is this foundation for every nurse. Caring behaviors, nurse engagement, and professionalism in practice must be present or your nursing practice could be on shaky ground before it even begins! Walls: The applied sciences of nursing: pharmacology, fluid and electrolytes, and anatomy and physiology. I contextualize these sciences to the bedside so the relevance of mastering this content becomes apparent. Roof: Critical thinking and clinical reasoning, which is the thinking that is required by the nurse that completes the house and ties everything together. Skeletons in the closet: Every house has closets and some have a few skeletons in them! Incivility and men in nursing will be explored in detail! |
| critical thinking clinical reasoning and clinical judgment: Critical Thinking Clinical Reasoning and Clinical Judgment Henry Pat, 2022-11-18 Decisive reasoning is the capacity to think plainly and soundly, figuring out the coherent association between thoughts. Decisive reasoning has been the subject of much discussion and thought since the hour of early Greek scholars like Plato and Socrates and has kept on being a topic of conversation into the cutting edge age, for instance the capacity to perceive counterfeit news. Decisive reasoning may be depicted as the capacity to take part in intelligent and free reasoning. Fundamentally, decisive reasoning expects you to utilize your capacity to reason. It is tied in with being a functioning student as opposed to a detached beneficiary of data. Basic masterminds thoroughly question thoughts and presumptions as opposed to tolerating them at face esteem. They will continuously look to decide if the thoughts, contentions and discoveries address the whole picture and are available to finding that they don't. |

| critical thinking clinical reasoning and clinical judgment: Clinical Decision Making and Judgement in Nursing Carl Thompson, 2002 The book will give a critical overview of the current research literature regarding the topic of clinical decision making and judgement in nursing. This is in contrast to other texts which either rely on anecdotal evidence to justify their approach, or focus on medical (rather than nurse) decision making. The text aims to help individuals apply different techniques to practice, aiming for a 'non-academic' style which will be easy for readers to understand. Both the editors are researchers in the field of nurse decision making and have considerable experience teaching the subject on third level diploma/degree, masters level and post-registration nursing courses. This text is therefore unique in drawing together both the research (current as well as that which has already been published) and practical experience of implementing techniques in practice. |

| critical thinking clinical reasoning and clinical judgment: Principles and Practice of Case-based Clinical Reasoning Education Olle ten Cate, Eugène J.F.M. Custers, Steven J. Durning, 2017-11-06 This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This volume describes and explains the educational method of Case-Based Clinical Reasoning (CBCR) used successfully in medical schools to prepare students to think like doctors before they enter the clinical arena and become engaged in patient care. Although this approach poses the paradoxical problem of a lack of clinical experience that is so essential for building proficiency in clinical reasoning, CBCR is built on the premise that solving clinical problems involves the ability to reason about disease processes. This requires knowledge of anatomy and the working and pathology of organ systems, as well as the ability to regard patient problems as patterns and compare them with instances of illness scripts of patients the clinician has seen in the past and stored in memory. CBCR stimulates the development of early, rudimentary illness scripts through elaboration and systematic discussion of the courses of action from the initial presentation of the patient to the final steps of clinical management. The book combines general backgrounds of clinical reasoning education and assessment with a detailed elaboration of the CBCR method for application in any medical curriculum, either as a mandatory or as an elective course. It consists of three parts: a general introduction to clinical reasoning education, application of the CBCR method, and cases that can used by educators to try out this method. |
