Introduction Critical thinking is a core skill in nursing practice. It supports evidence-based decision-making in patient care. The nursing process provides a structured framework for delivering safe and holistic care. Together, they ensure quality outcomes for patients. "Critical thinking is the bridge that transforms data into safe nursing decisions." Critical Thinking – Definition Analysis Evaluation Inference Interpretation Self-reflection breaking down patient data judging reliability of information drawing logical conclusions making sense of clinical findings assessing one’s own decisions
Critical Thinking – Definition Analysis Evaluation Inference Interpretation Self-reflection breaking down patient data judging reliability of information drawing logical conclusions making sense of clinical findings assessing one’s own decisions 03 04 05 Assessment: Collecting patient data (subjective & objective). 01 02 Diagnosis: Identifying health problems and needs. Planning: Setting goals and designing a care plan. Implementation: Carrying out the plan of care. Evaluation: Reviewing outcomes and adjusting the plan if needed.
The Nursing Process 03 04 05 The nursing process is a structured, dynamic framework consisting of five key steps: Assessment: Collecting patient data (subjective & objective). 01 02 Diagnosis: Identifying health problems and needs. Planning: Setting goals and designing a care plan. Implementation: Carrying out the plan of care. Evaluation: Reviewing outcomes and adjusting the plan if needed.
The Link Between Crit ical Thinking & Nursing Process Critical thinking = the tool , Nursing process = the framework . Each step of the nursing process requires critical thinking. Transforms raw data into accurate diagnoses and effective care plans. Without critical thinking → nursing process becomes routine and less effective.
Assessment "Accurate assessment is the foundation of accurate nursing care." Types of Data: Subjective: Patient’s own descriptions (e.g., “I have chest pain”). Objective: Observable and measurable signs (vital signs, lab results). Role of Critical Thinking: Distinguish relevant vs. irrelevant data. Connect current symptoms with past history. Identify gaps needing further investigation.
Critical thinking is a core competency in nursing. The nursing process offers a structured framework for patient care. Together, they ensure safe, accurate, and holistic care . Final Goal: Improving patient outcomes and quality of life. Conclusion
