Answer to Question 1

C
Theoretical knowledge includes and reflects on the basic values, guiding principles, elements, and phases of nursing. The goals of theoretical knowledge are to stimulate thinking and create a broad understanding of the science and practices of the nursing discipline. Practical knowledge is achieved through personal knowing gained through reflection on care experiences, synthesis, and integration of the art and science of nursing.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Actively seeking new knowledge is evident in basic critical thinking, not complex critical thinking.
B Determining the significance of a problem is evident when the student engages in basic critical thinking, not complex critical thinking.
C Learning what is actually happening in a situation is a component of data collection, not complex critical thinking.
D In complex critical thinking, the nurse's thinking abilities change as awareness is recognized to look beyond expert opinion and realize that alternative, often conflicting solutions to a problem or issue exist.
