Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Critical thinking involves choosing the best alternative from several, very much dependent
upon the situation in which the problem occurred. Handling the problem the way its usually
handled or choosing the easiest alternative may be easy but would not involve critical
thinking. The nursing process should be used in critical thinking, but the changing situation is
the more defining and specific characteristic of critical thinking.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: The manager should calmly start the interview, ignoring the nurse's tension, which will likely pass as the interview continues.
Rationale 2: Drawing attention to the nurse's feelings in this manner would not serve to ease the tension.
Rationale 3: The manager should not draw attention to the fact that the nurse is tense.
Rationale 4: The fact that the interview is going to happen will not be changed by social chit-chat and the nurse will still be nervous.
