2. Interpreting
3. Responding
4. Reflecting
What are the thinking skills for Noticing in Tanner's Model? 1. Identifying signs and
symptoms
2. Gathering complete and accurate data
3. Assessing systematically and comprehensively
4. Predicting (and managing) potential complications
5. Identifying assumptions
Noticing thinking skill *IDENTIFYING SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS* The ability to recognize that a
situation is different, changed, and not of a normal state. Indicates that something is different
that expected.
Noticing thinking skill *GATHERING COMPLETE AND ACCURATE DATA* Collecting pertinent
data from various sources. This data is used as the basis for identifying issues/concerns, solving
problems, and making decisions. Must verify that data is complete and accurate.
Noticing thinking skill *ASSESSING SYSTEMATICALLY AND COMPREHENSIVELY* An organized
manner to collect data to make sure nothing is omitted or forgotten. Examining the whole,
piece-by-piece in a thorough manner.
Noticing thinking skill *PREDICTING (AND MANAGING) POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS*
Looking at the big picture to consider possible complications for an individual patient. Must
know common complications and consider individual differences. In Noticing, you are
predicting complications, which means you are identifying possible problems.
, Noticing thinking skill *IDENTIFYING ASSUMPTIONS* Taking something for granted or hastily
arriving at a conclusion without supporting evidence. A misconception.
What are the thinking skills for Interpreting in Tanner's model? 1. Clustering related
information
2. Recognizing inconsistencies
3. Checking accuracy
4. Separating relevant and irrelevant data
5. Judging how much ambiguity is acceptable
6. Following legal and professional guidelines
Interpreting thinking skill *CLUSTERING RELATED INFORMATION* Grouping together
information with a common theme. A method of organizing data so that you put related things
together in order to better understand the situation.
Interpreting thinking skill *RECOGNIZING INCONSISTENCIES* Identifying mismatched data.
Seeing if subjective data and objective data support each other.
Interpreting thinking skill *CHECKING ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY* Realizing that something
doesn't seem quite right and taking action to determine if it is accurate or not. Sounds
suspicious and looking further into it.
Interpreting thinking skill *DISTINGUISHING RELEVANT FROM IRRELEVANT* Deciding which
information is pertinent or connects to the matter at hand. Nurses sort out what information
relates to the current problem or situation.
Interpreting thinking skill *DETERMINING THE IMPORTANCE OF INFORMATION* Nurses
must be about to sort through clinical noise, act on important information, and disregard
what's not important. Evaluate information to identify a possible new issue/problem that was
not previously identified. Figure out what is new or what has changed.
