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, reflective, inquisitive, and creative. •Help students use the RACE Model, a formula for applying critical thinking, when answering multiple-choice 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 re- sponse, drag-and-drop [ordered response], hot spot, fill-in-the-blank, audio) presentedin Chapter 6 to develop critical-thinking skills in relation to questions that authenticallyevaluate unique nursing interventions (e.g., calculations, setting priorities, interpretingsounds, analyzing data from multiple 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 has beenapplied to every question on this 100-item examination. This role-models the clinicalreasoning 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 integrated test, the accompanying CD has two 75-item integrated tests.
