Clinical reasoning – how a nurse processes information and chooses
what action to take – is a skill vital to nursing practice and
split-second decisions. And yet, developing the clinical reasoning
to make good decisions takes time, education, experience, patience,
and reflection. Along the way, nurses can benefit from a
successful, practical model that demystifies and advances clinical
reasoning skills.
