When the nurse looks at the defining characteristics for an actual nursing diagnosis and writes statements that are considered to be the opposite, the nurse has engaged in the step of the nursing process known as:
 
  1. Assessment
  2. Evaluation
  3. Nursing diagnosis
  4. Outcome identification

Question 2

A nurse asks her mentor, What can I do to develop better critical thinking skills? The best re-sponse for the mentor would be:
 
  1. Critical thinking includes judgment, intuition, and expertise. It takes years to develop expertise, so be patient and the skill will develop.
  2. Critical thinking uses an explicit linear process, depending primarily on keeping data organized, so focus on organization.
  3. Critical thinking is entirely dependent on making a rapid nursing diagnosis. Concentrate on speeding up your diagnosis making.
  4. Critical thinking requires observing, distinguishing, validating, organizing, and categorizing data. Being aware of the components can help you use the process.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Outcomes are projections of expected influence that nursing interventions will have on the client. Outcome criteria for actual diagnoses are generally considered the opposite of the defining char-acteristics.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Critical thinking is a deliberate process. Knowing the components can help the nurse use each systematically. 1. This response is placating and not a helpful response. 2. The process of critical thinking is diffuse, not linear, and involves several other components. 3. Critical thinking requires looking at many possible reasons for the problem, so nursing diagnosis should be carefully, rather than hastily, made.
