Acknowledgments 4414_FM_i-xxii.indd xi 4/17/2015 3:13:31 PM Process Cyan Process Magenta Process Yellow Process Black PANTONE 661 C3042_Appendix B_.indd 538 8/12/2014 3:02:33 PMxiii Nurses are required to use critical thinking in every domain of nursing practice. • Accrediting bodies of educational programs have increased the emphasis on maximizing the cognitive abilities of learners. • Licensing examinations are designed to evaluate the test taker’s ability to engage in clini- cal reasoning. • Agency accrediting bodies have developed standards that require creative, evidenced- based practice. • Health care, health-care environments, and technology have increased in complexity, requiring sophisticated health-care practitioners. The premise of this book is based on the beliefs that: • People use critical thinking all the time in their daily lives. • People can enhance their critical-thinking skills. • Students can use critical-thinking skills when taking a nursing examination. • Nurses continue to use critical thinking in their professional lives. How can nursing educators help students think critically? • Help students develop their critical-thinking abilities through the information contained in Chapter 1. • Help students identify and develop their cognitive and personal competencies by exploring the Helix of Critical Thinking. • Support students who are maximizing their critical-thinking abilities by being positive, refl ective, inquisitive, and creative. • Help students use the RACE Model, a formula for applying critical thinking, when answering nursing questions. • Encourage students to practice test taking by answering the questions and reviewing the answers and their rationales in Chapters 2 through 5 to: • Reinforce what they know. • Learn new information. • Identify what still needs to be learned. • Set priorities for future learning. • Have students practice answering alternate format questions (e.g., exhibit, multiple response, drag-and-drop [ordered response], hot spot, fi ll-in-the-blank, audio, and items using a chart, table, or graphic image) presented in Chapter 6 to develop critical-thinking skills in relation to questions that authentically evaluate unique nursing interventions (e.g., calculations, setting priorities, interpreting sounds, and analyzing data from mul- tiple sources). • Have students practice taking comprehensive examinations with integrated fundamental content gleaned from sub-units of nursing information. Chapter 7, Comprehensive Final Book Exam, has a 100-item integrated examination. The RACE Model is applied to every question on this 100-item examination. This role-models the clinical reasoning that can be employed when answering a nursing test question. • Encourage students to practice answering nursing questions on the computer. In addition to this book’s 100-item Comprehensive Final Book Exam, DavisPlus.com has two accom- panying 75-item integrated tests. The student can access these tests or they can self-select questions based on content area. A Message to Nursing Educators 4414_FM_i-xxii.indd xiii 4/17/2015 3:13:31 PM Process Cyan Process Magenta Process Yellow Process Black PANTONE 661 Cxiv FUNDAMENTALS SUCCESS • Encourage students to review the keywords at the beginning of each clinical sub-unit in Chapters 2 through 5. Knowing the defi nition of these words and understanding concepts and principles associated with them will build a theoretical base for answering the ques- tions in the content area. • Encourage students, particularly those who speak English as a second language, to learn the words in the Glossary of English Words Commonly Encountered on Nursing Exami- nations. This will allow students taking a test to concentrate on nursing content rather than being distracted by a lack of comprehension of English words. 4414_FM_i-xxii.indd xiv 4/17/2015 3:13:31 PM Process Cyan Process Magenta Process Yellow Process Black PANTONE 661 C
