alternatives in any given scenario (examining evidence,
speculating or conjecturing alternatives, making
conclusions)

there relationships between findings? Does the data
about the client help you determine that a problem
exists?

reveal what you believe is true, or are there other
options? Look for patterns to categorize data you are
uncertain about.

ANALYSIS

41
Q

COMPONENTS OF CRITICAL THINKING

are cored and can be justified.

basis for clinical justification
→ (stating results, justifying procedures)
→ Nursing Practice Application:
✔ Support your findings and conclusions. Use
knowledge to select strategies you use in the care of
clients

A

EXPLANATION

42
Q

COMPONENTS OF CRITICAL THINKING

→ examines the validity of the information and hypothesis;
this leads to a final conclusion that can be implemented.
→ (assessing results, assessing arguments)
→ Nursing Practice Application:

expected outcomes, pain characteristics, learning
objectives) to determine results of nursing actions.
Reflect on your own behavior.
