Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C
Critical thinking in nursing attempts to find a solution for a patient problem or need. It is purposeful and uses both logic and intuition. Critical thinking is purposeful rather than random. Judgments are based on evidence rather than assumptions. Critical thinking is constantly re-evaluating and self-correcting.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: analysis
The NCLEX-PN includes items that require various levels of thinking to answer a test item. These various levels are called cognitive levels. The cognitive levels used on the NCLEX-PN examination are knowledge, comprehension, application, and analysis.
