TIME OUT!!! Student instructions:
To be sure your clinical judgement statements written below are accurate. You need to review the defining characteristics and related factors associated with and see how your patient data match.
Do you have an accurate match or are additional data required, or does another cue from abnormal assessment findings need to be investigated?
Observation
Assessment
Recognize Cues
Obtain information from
different sources (e.g., the
environment, the pt., the
family, another nurse,
EHR) in different formats
(e.g., visual observation,
audio perception, lab
results, text description,
etc.).
Interpreting
Responding
Analysis
Analyze Cues
Interprets cues from their
existing knowledge base and
nursing perspective, evaluate
cues in terms of relevancy,
importance, and
interrelationship among other
cues, organize cues in the
mental representation of the
scenario (e.g., organize cues
in clusters), and then
develops a group of probable
client needs/concerns and
problems
Prioritize Hypotheses
Evaluates the probable client
needs/concerns and problems
generated previously in
various dimensions and
organize them into an ordered
list where the priority
hypotheses are on the top.
(ABCs, Maslow, safety, acute
v chronic, unstable v stable,
urgent v non-urgent)
Planning
Implement
Generate Solutions
Develops a list of actions to
address the hypotheses.
Give rationales for each
solution.
Take Action
Sorts the actions (based on
their evaluation in various
dimensions) and carries
out the action(s) to address
the hypothesis/hypotheses
with highest priority first.
Clinical Judgement (The expected/anticipated outcomes or SMART GOALS)
These should be written in a SMART format for patient goals.
For examples:
The patient will have decreased pain by verbalizing pain score 3/10 or below by the end of the shift.
The patient will maintain clear airway by effectively coughing by the end of the shift.
Reflecting
Evaluate
Evaluation
Compare and contrast what happened with your plan of care against what was expected/anticipated (disease progression, unique client
response) and decide whether additional clinical decisions are needed.
