Answer to Question 1
D
The nurse is using reflection when thinking about a situation in the past that was similar. Reflec-tion is a part of critical thinking that involves the process of purposefully thinking about or recal-ling a situation to discover its purpose or meaning. Critical thinking involves recognizing that an issue (e.g., patient problem) exists, analyzing information related to the issue (e.g., clinical data about a patient), evaluating information (including assumptions and evidence), and drawing con-clusions. Intuition is an inner sensing or gut feeling that something is so. The nursing process is a five-step approach that incorporates diagnostic reasoning and clinical decision making.
Answer to Question 2
A
Sleep deprivation are recurrent periods of rapid eye movement (REM) or non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep that are inadequate in quantity or quality, which can result from factors such as prolonged hospitalization, substance abuse, illness, age, or frequent changes in lifestyle. People who are sleep deprived do not have the normal restorative periods associated with sleep and can become irritable or confused and have difficulty concentrating. A nurse can assist the client who is sleep deprived to minimize or seek treatment for factors contributing to the condition (e.g., substance abuse).
