Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: lower
Rationale : Psychomotor skills in nursing often involve minimal thinking, such as operating a familiar piece of equipment or, in this case, a newer model of a familiar piece of equipment. Higher order skills of critical thinking are put into play as soon as a new idea is encountered or a less-than-routine decision must be made.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Confidence comes from cultivating reasoning and examining arguments. In this case, the nurse did not reason anything out, but is still asking questions.
Rationale 2: Perseverance happens from determination in clarifying concepts and sorting out related issues, in spite of difficulties and frustrations. This nurse is still asking questions, not making any changes in spite of difficulties or frustrations.
Rationale 3: The internal conversation going on within the mind of a critical thinker is filled with questions. The curious nurse may value tradition but is not afraid to examine traditions to be sure they are still valid, as in this case. This nurse is asking valid questions.
Rationale 4: Integrity requires that individuals apply the same rigorous standards of proof to their own knowledge and beliefs as they apply to the knowledge and beliefs of others.
