4. Despite the presence of an intraventricular drain, the intracranial pressure of a patient in neuro
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



logical intensive care remains increased. The nurse recalibrates the machine, makes sure the m
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



onitor is on the same level as the drain, checks all connections, and then notifies the physician
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



, who comes to the unit and inserts a new drain. What type of reasoning or thinking prompts t
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



he nurse to recalibrate, assure proper placement, and check connections?
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



a. Abstract thinking ap



b. Concrete thinking ap



c. Logical reasoning ap



d. Dialectical reasoning ap




ANS: C a p



Logical reasoning is used to dissect components of a situation or conclusion, examine each careful
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ly, and analyze relationships among the parts. Abstract thinking is oriented toward the development
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



of an idea without application to, or association with, a particular instance.
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



Concrete thinking is oriented toward and limited by tangible things or by events that are obser
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ved and experienced in reality. Dialectical reasoning involves looking at situations in a holistic
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap a



way.
