Critical Thinking to Achieve Positive Health Outcomes: Nursing Case Studies and Analyses uses the

latest research findings to apply critical thinking processes for the development of diagnostic reasoning and the selection of patient outcomes and nursing interventions. With the current implementation of electronic health records, using standardized nursing languages such as NANDA–International, NIC, and NOC becomes critical. Electronic data must have standardized formats and definitions. When nurses carefully select the best standardized terms using critical thinking abilities, it provides the data needed for continuous quality improvement. This book offers guidance and the necessary tools for selecting accurate terminology.

Four chapters describe the meaning of intelligence, critical thinking, and application of critical thinking processes within nursing. The case studies and their ultimate resolution to intervention and outcome illustrate critical thinking processes and provide a valuable learning tool by enabling repeated practice. Case studies are organized into four sections; problem diagnoses, risk diagnoses, health promotion diagnoses, and strength diagnoses. A companion website provides on–line resources, including relevant journal articles, power point presentations, and an email address for providing reader comments.

Special features:

• Provides a practical guide to how critical thinking skills can be applied to achieve positive health outcomes
• Provides guiding principles for use of standardized nursing languages
• Presents over 50 case studies to illustrate application of the guiding principles to clinical cases
• Case studies organized by problem, risk, health promotion, and strength diagnoses
• Includes access to a companion website with relevant journal articles and slide presentations as online learning resources
• Written and edited by a leading expert in the use of standardized nursing languages
