Answer to Question 1

A
Concept maps challenge the student to synthesize data and identify relationships between nursing diagnoses. Reflective journaling involves thinking back to clarify concepts. Reading assignments and lecture do not best provide an instructor the ability to evaluate students' abilities to synthesize data.

Answer to Question 2

C
Self-reflection utilizes critical thinking when thinking back on the effectiveness of interventions and how they were performed. The other options are not the best examples of self-reflection but do represent good nursing practice. Using an objective approach and obtaining data in an orderly fashion does not involve purposefully thinking back to discover the meaning or purpose of a situation. Providing evidence-based explanations for nursing interventions does not always involve thinking back to discover the meaning of a situation.
