, 8. Noticing: First step of Tanner's model of clinical judgement.
1. Identifying signs and symptoms
2. Gathering complete and accurate data
3. Assessing systematically and comprehensively
4. Predicting and managing potential complications
5. Identifying assumptions
9. Noticing-1. Identifying signs and symptoms: The ability to recognize that a
situation is different, changed, and not of a normal state. Indcates that something is

10. Noticing-2. Gathering complete and accurate data: Collecting pertinent data

12. Noticing-4.Predicting and managing potential complications: Looking at
the big picture to consider possible complications for an individual patient. Must
