Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
This nurse displayed critical thinking in not just responding to the patient's pain but in assessing and collecting data, analyzing the data, and developing a plan for how to respond. By the time the nurse begins to intervene, there is a strong enough base of data to indicate what is required for this patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
A critical thinker does not blindly follow another but finds the best route.
