ANS: 1 s



The definitions listed in the text as well as definitions in Box 2-1 state that critical thinking
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s


requires reasoning or reasoned thinking. Critical thinking is neither linear nor hierarchical. That
s s s s s s s s s s s s s



means that the steps involved in critical thinking are not necessarily sequential, where mastery of
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



one step is necessary to proceed to the next. Critical thinking is a purposeful, dynamic, analytic
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



process that contributes to reasoned decisions and sound contextual judgments.

s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



how to best care for the patient, the nurse uses the nursing process. Which step would thenurse

probably do first?

1) Assessment
2) Diagnosis
3) Plan outcomes s



4) Plan interventions s

Theoretical knowledge consists of research findings, facts, principles, and theories. The oxygen
