The Essentials of Clinical Reasoning for Nurses: Using the Outcome-Present State-Test Model for Reflective Practice : Sigma Theta Tau International : 9781945157097 : 1945157097 : 30 Jun 2019 : In today's healthcare environment of scarce resources and challenges related to safety and quality, nurses must make decision after decision to ensure timely, accurate, and efficient provision of care. Solid decision-making, or lack thereof, can significantly affect patient care and outcomes. Clinical reasoning ? how a nurse processes information and chooses what action to take ? is a skill vital to nursing practice and split-second decisions.
