Clinical Reasoning: Requisites For Successful Leadership And Management
1. The NURSE Is Applying A Decision-Making Process To A Clinical Challenge. When Applying This
Process, The NURSE Must:
A. Analyze The Root Causes Of A Situation.
B. Begin By Solving The Underlying Problem.
C. Choose Between Different Courses Of Action.
D. Prioritize The Maximum Good For The Maximum Number Of People.
Answer>> C
Feedback: Decision Making Is A Complex, Cognitive Process Often Defined As Choosing A Particular
Course Of Action. Problem Solving Is Part Of Decision Making And Is A Systematic Process That Focuses
On Analyzing A Difficult Situation. It Is Not Always Realistic For The NURSE To Solve Each Of The
Problems Contributing To A Larger Challenge, Especially At The Beginning Of The Decision-Making
Process. The NURSE Often Lacks The Time, Information, Or Resources To Analyze The Root Causes Of A
Situation. Many Times, The NURSE Makes A Decision That Benefits The Largest Number Of People, But
This Is Not Always Feasible Or Desirable.

A Task That Can Require Much Time And Energy. Efficiency Is Desirable, But Trying To Implement A
, Solution As Quickly As Possible Can Result In A Hasty And Incorrect Solution. Reflective Thinking Is
Always Beneficial, But This Is Not A Specific Component Of The Traditional Problem-Solving Model.
