Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D, E
Critical thinking focuses on appraisal of the way the individual thinks, and it emphasizes reflective skepticism. Determining priorities, reflecting and suspending judgment, and clustering data are actions that indicate the use of critical thinking. Using a standardized care plan and writing interventions from a nursing diagnosis book do not show that reflection about the client's individual care is being done.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The nurse is attempting to follow up and check the accuracy of the patient's message. Paraphrasing is restating words other than those used by the patient. Reflection is verbalizing comprehension of what the patient has said. Structuring takes place when the nurse has set guidelines or set priorities.
