Nursing Process and Critical Thinking

Through a compelling and realistic patient care scenario, the initial program, The Nursing Process, shows exactly how the 5 steps of the process help a student nurse and her professional colleagues improve care for a chronically-ill patient with multiple health care problems - proficiently assessing and diagnosing care needs as well as planning, implementing, and evaluating the results of the plan. Then the second program, Critical Thinking in the Nursing Process, reprising the patient care scenario, shows how critical thinking was employed throughout the nursing process, assisting the staff to arrive at accurate and valid patient care decisions.
