Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Deductive reasoning is reasoning from the general to the specific. The nurse starts with a framework and makes descriptive interpretations of the client's condition in relation to the framework. Productive cough, crackles, fever, and chills all point to problems with respiratory status.
Rationale 2: Inductive reasoning would be making a generalization from a set of facts or observation. In this case, the nurse using inductive reasoning could presume that the client has bronchitis or a bacterial respiratory infection.
Rationale 3: Socratic questioning looks beneath the surface and asking questions to come to a conclusion about the situation that is not what is described in the stem.
Rationale 4: Critical analysis looks beneath the surface and asking questions to come to a conclusion about the situation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: Independence; Intellectual humility; Fair-mindedness; Perseverance; Confidence
Rationale : Attitudes that foster critical thinking include independence, fair-mindedness, insight into egocentricity (which is open to the possibility that biases or social pressures and customs may affect one's thinking), intellectual humility, intellectual courage to challenge (not accept) the status quo and rituals, integrity, perseverance, confidence, and curiosity.
