NUR 101 (UNIT 2) CH 11 Blended Skills and Critical Thinking throughout the Nursing Process
Assess - correct answer ✔✔To systematically and continuously collect, validate, and communicate patient data.
Concept Mapping - correct answer ✔✔Instructional strategy that requires learners to identify, graphically display and link key concepts.
Critical Thinking - correct answer ✔✔Thought that is disciplined, comprehensive, based on intellectual standards, and, as a result, well-reasoned; a systematic way to form and shape ones thinking that functions purposefully and exactingly.
Critical Thinking Indicators - correct answer ✔✔CTIs - evidence-based descriptions of behaviors that demonstrate the knowledge, characteristics, and skills that promote critical thinking in clinical practice.
Decision Making - correct answer ✔✔Purposeful, goal-directed effort applied in a systematic way to make a choice among alternatives.
Evaluate - correct answer ✔✔Measurement of the extent to which the patient has achieved the goals specified in the plan of care; factors that positively or negatively influence goal achievement are identified, and the plan of care is terminated or revised.
Expected Outcomes - correct answer ✔✔Specific, measurable criteria used to evaluate whether the patient goal has been met.
Implement - correct answer ✔✔Carry out the plan of care.
Intuitive Problem Solving - correct answer ✔✔Direct understanding of a situation based on a background of experience, knowledge and skill that makes expert decision making possible. Nursing Diagnoses - correct answer ✔✔Actual or potential health problem that an independent nursing intervention can prevent or resolve. Actual problem is present, Possible problem may be present, but more data are needed to confirm or disconfirm the problem. Potential problem may occur; defining characteristics are present as risk factors.
Nursing Process - correct answer ✔✔Five-step systematic method for giving patient care; involves assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing and evaluating. A systematic, client-centered, goal oriented method of delivering care.
Plan - correct answer ✔✔Established patient goals to prevent, reduce, or resolve the problems identified
in the nursing diagnoses and determination of related nursing interventions.
Scientific Problem Solving - correct answer ✔✔Systematic problem-solving process that involves 1. Problem Identification. 2. Data collection. 3. Hypothesis formulation. 4. Plan of Action. 5. Hypothesis testing. 6. Interpretation of Results, and 7. Evaluation resulting in conclusion or revision of the study.
Standards for Critical Thinking - correct answer ✔✔Clear, precise, specific, accurate, relevant, plausible, consistent, logical, deep, broad, complete, significant, adequate (for the purpose), and fair.
Trial-and-Error Problem Solving - correct answer ✔✔Method of problem solving that involves testing any
number of solutions until one is found that works for that particular problems.
The Nursing Process provides a framework that enables the nurse and patient to accomplish: - correct answer ✔✔Systematically collect patient data (assessing), clearly identify patient strengths and actual and potential problems (diagnosing), develop a holistic plan of individualized care that specifies the desired patient goals and related outcomes and the nursing interventions most likely to assist the patient
to meet those expected outcomes (planning), Execute the plan of care (implementation), Evaluate the effectiveness of the plan of care in terms of patient goal achievement (evaluating).
What is the purpose of Assessing in the Nursing Process? - correct answer ✔✔Make a judgment about the patients health status, ability to manage his or her own healthcare, and need for nursing. Plan individualized holistic care that draws on patient strengths and is responsive to changes in the patients conditions.
