Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
This question deals with an important aspect of using critical thinking in nursing. One must comprehend the information and then be able to recall and apply it. I wonder how to improve my overall efficiency is a diffuse question and does not lend itself to planning without first being narrowed and better focused. The other two options are not questions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Ruminative thinking replays the same situation repeatedly without reaching an outcome. Random thinking involves many thoughts or scenes running aimlessly through the mind. Habitual thinking involves routines performed as if on automatic pilot. Directed thinking is purposeful and outcome oriented.
