Reflection is serious thinking about something.
, Reflection-in-action (praxis) vs. reflection-on-action - correct answer-
Gibbs model - correct answer-description (what happened)?
feelings (what were you thinking/feeling)?
evaluation (what was good or bad about the experience)?
analysis (what sense can you make of the situation)?
conclusion (what else could you have done)?
action plan (if it arose again, what would you do)?
Model of Professional Thinking - correct answer-Integrates Reflective practice
and Evidence Based Practice
• What? (describing the event)
• So What? (critical analysis, seeking reviewing knowledge, initial ideas and

critical thinking - correct answer-LOOK IN NOTES FOR BLANKS
Questions to ask when you begin to
think critically - correct answer-1. What are my assumptions?
2. What is the reason for this?
3. What, if any, is the value?
4. What, if any, harm could they do?
5. What did nurses do before this technology?
6. Is there an added cost?
Six essential cognitive skills of the CTer - correct answer-1. Interpretation
involves clarifying meaning, such as determining the significance of laboratory
values, vital signs and physical assessment data. It also includes
understanding the meaning of a patient's behaviour or statements.
2. Analysis is determining the patient's problems based on assessment data.
At times, the actual problem cannot be validated initially, but several
possibilities or arguments can be identified.
3. Evaluation is identifying expected patient outcomes and assessment
whether or not they are met. If not met, the nurse ascertains why.
4. Inference is about drawing conclusions. For example, the nurse determines
when a patient's health status improves or declines through careful
monitoring.
