NSG 100 EXAM 1 | UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS |
COMPLETE STUDY GUIDE AND VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
• What is clinical judgment? -✓✓ANSWER: The decision/conclusion and action
taken based on interpretation of patient information.
• What is clinical reasoning? -✓✓ANSWER: The thinking/cognitive and
metacognitive process used to analyze knowledge in a specific clinical situation
and reach a clinical judgment.
• What is critical thinking? -✓✓ANSWER: Broad knowledge- and logic-based
analysis: collecting, interpreting, analyzing, drawing conclusions, and evaluating
information.
• Tanner sequence? -✓✓ANSWER: Noticing -> Interpreting -> Responding ->
Reflecting.
• Tanner: Noticing -✓✓ANSWER: Recognize important patient cues and deviations
from expected patterns.
• Tanner: Interpreting -✓✓ANSWER: Analyze cues and determine what they
mean/patterns they support.
• Tanner: Responding -✓✓ANSWER: Take nursing action based on interpretation.
,• Tanner: Reflecting -✓✓ANSWER: Evaluate the response and learn from the
experience.
• Reflection-in-action vs reflection-on-action -✓✓ANSWER: In-action =
evaluate/read the patient while care is unfolding and adjust; on-action = think
back afterward and learn for future situations.
• Why can journaling improve clinical judgment? -✓✓ANSWER: It promotes
reflective learning so the student processes/consolidates caregiving experiences
and connects actions with outcomes.
• Nursing Process sequence? -✓✓ANSWER: Assessment -> Analysis/Diagnosis ->
Planning -> Implementation -> Evaluation.
• NCSBN CJMM sequence? -✓✓ANSWER: Recognize Cues -> Analyze Cues ->
Prioritize Hypotheses -> Generate Solutions -> Take Action -> Evaluate Outcomes.
• CJMM Step 1 -✓✓ANSWER: Recognize Cues.
• CJMM Step 2 -✓✓ANSWER: Analyze Cues.
• CJMM Step 3 -✓✓ANSWER: Prioritize Hypotheses.
• CJMM Step 4 -✓✓ANSWER: Generate Solutions.
• CJMM Step 5 -✓✓ANSWER: Take Action.
, • CJMM Step 6 -✓✓ANSWER: Evaluate Outcomes.
• How does the Assessment phase of the Nursing Process correspond to Tanner's
Clinical Judgment Model and the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model
(CJMM)? -✓✓ANSWER: Tanner Noticing corresponds to CJMM Recognize Cues.
• How does the Analysis/Diagnosis phase of the Nursing Process correspond to
Tanner's Clinical Judgment Model and the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement
Model (CJMM)? -✓✓ANSWER: Tanner Interpreting corresponds to CJMM Analyze
Cues + Prioritize Hypotheses.
• How does the Planning phase of the Nursing Process correspond to Tanner's
Clinical Judgment Model and the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model
(CJMM)? -✓✓ANSWER: Tanner Responding corresponds to CJMM Generate
Solutions.
• How does the Implementation phase of the Nursing Process correspond to
Tanner's Clinical Judgment Model and the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement
Model (CJMM)? -✓✓ANSWER: Tanner Responding corresponds to CJMM Take
Action.
• How does the Evaluation phase of the Nursing Process correspond to Tanner's
Clinical Judgment Model and the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model
(CJMM)? -✓✓ANSWER: Tanner Reflecting corresponds to CJMM Evaluate
Outcomes.
• What does ABC stand for? -✓✓ANSWER: Airway, Breathing, Circulation.
