Strategies for Answering NGN Questions:Analyze Cues

How Does Analyzing Cues Help You Guide Client Care?
The cognitive skill Analyze Cues requires you to examine the relevant data in a clinical scenario,
link them to the client's clinical situation, and determine what these data mean. It is important
to consider all factors presented in the clinical scenario to determine what is happening to the
client. This is an important process because determining what relevant data mean tells you what
is happening to the client. Once this is known, then you will be able to determine what you need
to plan and do next to meet the client's needs.
