• Discuss the use of clinical reasoning in undergraduate and graduate education. 

• Develop learning activities that promote clinical reasoning.

• Assess curricular structure and policy for emphasis in clinical reasoning. 

Goals for this Discussion

“All of part of the process of questioning, analysis, synthesis, interpretation, inference, inductive and deductive reasoning, intuition, application, and creativity…underlies independent and interdependent decision making.” AACN, 2008

Skill in recognizing cues about a clinical situation, generating and weighing hypotheses, taking action and evaluating outcomes for the purpose of arriving at a satisfactory clinical outcome. Clinical judgment is the observed outcome of two unobserved underlying mental processes, critical thinking and decision making. (NCSBN)

1. CJ is more influenced by “what did the nurse bring to the situation” than “objective data”

2. CJ is based on knowing the patient and their desires/needs, requires engagement 

3. CJ is impacted by context and the culture of the unit

Why Clinical Judgment

Basic Steps

1. Recognize Cues

2. Analyze Cues

3. Prioritize hypotheses

4. Generate Solutions

5. Take Actions

6. Evaluate Outcomes

CJ NCSBN‐Style

14

*NCSBN wants test questions to focus more and more on Clinical Judgment

THEREFORE

*LEARNING needs to focus more and more on Clinical Judgment

So what?

The NCSBN data is the most current up to date database we have on what practice entails (especially for the new nurse) therefore, we will use their CJ model for guidance. 

So what?

16

Why use NCSBN data? Building without plans leads to…

17

Looking at the Practice Analysis

What class is most important? 

• Med Admin Rights

• Universal Precautions

• Client ID – Confidentiality

• Collaboration

1. Student review one of the client needs.

2. Students find a Youtube video that highlights a concept from lecture. 

3. Students write a test item based on the client need and the concept.

Management of Care

• Lab / simulation activity or discussion in class / online.• In the lab, student receives report then reviews the chart for medications, recent assessment data, and labs.

• Next the student enters the patient’s room for a quick hello to introduce herself and collect a set of vitals. 

• Upon entering the room, the patient has an IV running with a fluid that is different than noted in report/e‐MAR and has a nitro paste patch on (also not mentioned in report or on the e‐MAR).

• What is the expected response of the student nurse?

37

Management of Care

• Lab / simulation activity or discussion in class / online.

• The nurse is entering the room and a ‘physician’ comes into the room with him. 

• The client is on reverse isolation because of severe neutropenia.

• The physician entering the room does not put on the required protective wear and keeps her stethoscope and labcoat. 

• What is the expected response from the nurse?

SAFETY Pause

• Identify a safety buddy.

• Individually – Your ticket to class is 3 safety concerns for the client at the end of the chapter.

• Together – Upon arriving in class, compare your top 3 for each client, how similar / different were your top 3’s?

• Be prepared to share your similarities/differences when called upon.

Quizzing that Counts• During class

• Faculty opens the adaptive quizzing and chooses Client Needs / Health Promotion.

• With each question the students vote and the instructor answers in the software. 

• With each question the students look at their Concept cards to discuss one concept related to the question.

• UNINTENDED SIDE EFFECT• When we use the study tools in class (books, quizzing, etc.) the students are more likely to use them effectively when studying.

• My daughter is Ethiopian and she can’t use codeine because Ethiopians tend to be genetically wired to rapidly convert codeine into morphine. 

• She won’t let us check her blood pressure because a friend had it checked and then died.

• For Mr. J.H. • Create a change in labs (or add labs) that would indicate a resolution in his condition

• Create a change in labs (or add labs) that would indicate his condition is worsening. 

• Compare with someone else.
