Critical Thinking II

Critical Thinking II

Critical thinking is a cognitive process with several attributes. The attributes of critical thinking include the following:

Nursing Evaluation

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
Section...

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Critical Thinking I

Critical Thinking I

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career with...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data from the...

Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Assessment and Evaluation

Background:

This research builds upon prior work on innovative item formats for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) published in Nurse Educator.
The study addresses the ongoing need for effective and valid assessment tools in nursing education.

Purpose of the Study:

To discuss and evaluate innovative item templates for the NCLEX examinations.
To analyze the statistical characteristics of these new item formats.
To determine the cognitive processing levels required for candidates to answer the innovative items.

Main Methods:

Continuation of a research project on NCLEX item development.
Discussion of novel item templates.
Evaluation of statistical properties of the item formats.
Assessment of cognitive demands associated with answering the items.

Main Results:

The article details specific innovative item templates.
Statistical characteristics of the developed item formats are presented.
Analysis indicates the cognitive levels (e.g., application, analysis) required for the new items.

Conclusions:

Innovative item formats offer potential advancements for the NCLEX.
The evaluated templates demonstrate specific statistical properties and cognitive requirements.
Further research and implementation of these formats may enhance nursing licensure assessment.
