Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Reflective thinking involves two kinds of thinking. Reflecting-in-action occurs while a situation is being addressed. Reflecting-on-action is deliberate, occurs after an event, and creates embodied knowledge and skillfulness that will influence what the nurse perceives as salient when confronted with similar patient situations in the future. Divergent thinking is the ability to weigh the importance of information. Systematic thinking involves collecting, analyzing, and organizing information in a methodical manner that supports development of pattern recognition. Creative thinking involves clinical imagination that integrates science, skilled know-how, and practical knowledge to develop unique solutions to individual patient needs.
