Critical Thinking & Clinical Judgement: A Practical Approach, 3rd Edition recognizes that nurses must be knowledgeable workers who are thought-oriented rather than task-oriented. This resource makes the concept of critical thinking in nursing come alive through an insightful, motivational style that inspires the reader to connect with their own innate talents to develop the skills needed to succeed in today’s challenging health care setting. The book is designed to promote the development of critical thinking by providing a clinically relevant, user-friendly text to help learners master content in a meaningful way. The book makes difficult concepts easy to learn by focusing on “how to? (application) while giving supporting rationale (theory). It also stresses the importance of ethics- and standards-based professional practice in a world of increasing accountability. It also carefully integrates gerontology concepts and cultural, spiritual, and diversity aspects throughout.

  • How the nursing process continues to evolve to a more proactive and dynamic way of giving nursing care.
  • How to use mind mapping (concept mapping) to promote critical thinking and learn more efficiently.
