Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
All-or-nothing thinking is characterized by making up one's mind and not considering any additional facts. The thinking is black and white, without grays. Negative thinking occurs when the mind is stuck on negative thoughts and cannot move to other thinking. Random thinking is characterized by intermittent thoughts without purpose or goal. Ruminative thinking occurs when the individual focuses on a situation or scene and repeatedly replays it in the mind.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Mentally reviewing related theory while providing care helps ensure safe, effective care that meets established standards. Avoiding challenging situations gives no opportunity for critical thinking. The remaining options do not use critical thinking.
