Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Reflection involves being able to determine what data are relevant and to make connections between that data and the decisions reached. The nurse reflects on previous clinical experiences similar to this one and determines if the outcomes of care improved the clients' conditions.
Rationale 2: Context is an essential consideration in nursing because care must always be individualized, taking knowledge and applying it to real people, but that is not what is described in the scenario.
Rationale 3: Dialogue is a purposed exchange of information, but that is not what is described in the scenario.
Rationale 4: The attribute of time is a part of reflection.
