Details: Deliverable 7 – The Dynamic Process of Clinical Judgement
Competencies
Evaluate factors integral to clinical reasoning.
Explain the impact of relational inquiry when recognizing and analyzing cues to action in the process of clinical reasoning.
Integrate modes of inquiry to generate and evaluate hypotheses in the context of clinical reasoning.
Determine appropriate responses when integrating situated cognition into clinical reasoning.
Modify clinical judgment within an iterative, outcome-based cycle of clinical reasoning and client needs.
Scenario
You are a student in the last term of a BSN Program. You are preparing for an end-of-term exam. To help you prepare, your instructor developed three real-world clinical scenarios to provide opportunities for you to apply clinical reasoning and clinical judgment. The instructor stated, “You received reports on these clients. Decide which one you need to see first and then make appropriate nursing decisions based on relevant information to promote positive client outcomes.”
The three scenarios include:
Click for more options
Instructions
Record your answers to these statements.
Rank the three scenarios provided in order of priority related to which client you will assess first, second and third.
Defend your selection for the three ranked scenarios.
Review the data below for the priority client to determine what to assess first.
