Chapter 1. Critical Thinking, Clinical Judgment, and the Nursing Process
Multiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the
question.
1. The nurse is caring for a group of patients on a medical–
surgical unit. The licensed practical nurse/licensed vocational
nurse (LPN/LVN) assesses the patient experiencing a low
blood glucose first. Which process was needed to make this
decision?
1. Application of clinical judgment
2. Recommendation of the registered nurse (RN)
3. Understanding of what regulates blood glucose levels
4. Knowing the patient’s past medical history
ANS: 1
Chapter: Chapter 1. Critical Thinking, Clinical Judgment, and the Nursing Process
Objective: 7. Explain the difference between critical thinking and clinical judgment.
Page: 2
Heading: Clinical Judgment
Integrated Process: Clinical Problem-Solving Process (Nursing Process)
Client Need: SECE: Coordinated Care
Cognitive Level: Comprehension [Understanding]
Concept: Clinical Judgment
Difficulty: Difficult
Feedback
1 Clinical judgment is the observed outcome of critical thinking and decision
making. The nurse identified the patient at high risk and decided to assess this
person first.
2 The LPN/LVN needs to make clinical decisions independently from the RN.
3 Understanding the pathophysiology of the disease does not determine how
decisions are made.
4 Past medical history is important, but the current clinical cues will determine
prioritized nursing actions.
