Critical Thinking II

Critical Thinking II

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

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...

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.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

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...

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Clinical Judgment Development
Reflective Practice

Background:

Self-reflection is a key strategy for nurse educators to cultivate clinical judgment in prelicensure nursing students.
Limited research addresses enhancing clinical judgment specifically in second-degree nursing students within clinical environments.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the impact of a shared structured reflection teaching innovation on clinical judgment skills.
To assess the effectiveness of this innovation in a required baccalaureate clinical course for prelicensure nursing students.

Main Methods:

Qualitative descriptive methods were employed to evaluate the educational innovation.
The study focused on students in the final semester of an accelerated prelicensure nursing program.
Data collection occurred within the clinical setting.

Main Results:

Students reported heightened accountability for their educational journey.
Participants experienced a greater sense of intentionality in their nursing practice.
A stronger sense of community was developed among peer students.

Conclusions:

Shared reflective practices in clinical settings show potential for improving nursing students' clinical judgment.
This approach supports the development of a competency-based nursing curriculum.
