Expert nurses use specific reasoning and problem-solving strategies when planning care for high-risk patients with uncertain outcomes. This study reveals their decision-making processes for critical care scenarios.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Clinical Decision-Making
  • Critical Care

Background:

  • Understanding expert nurses' reasoning is crucial for improving patient care in uncertain situations.
  • Critical care settings present complex challenges requiring advanced clinical decision-making skills.

Observation:

  • A case study of a critically ill elderly patient was presented to ten expert critical care nurses.
  • The think-aloud method was employed to capture the nurses' knowledge, reasoning, and problem-solving strategies.
  • Verbatim transcripts were systematically analyzed to ensure credibility and traceability of findings.

Findings:

  • Experts represented patient problems dynamically during their reasoning process.
  • Nurses structured their care plans methodically, utilizing specific reasoning processes and heuristics.
