The nursing instructor is planning activities to help students learn clinical decision making. Which activities should the instructor include to help the students develop foundational knowledge?
1. Time for students to complete a self-assessment tool
2. Access to evidence-based guidelines for assigned patients
3. Expectations for participation in postclinical conferences
4. Office hours and dates when care plans are due for grading
5. Copies of the state practice act and standards of practice
Correct Answer: 1, 2, 5
Foundational knowledge used in clinical reasoning includes knowing the profession, self, the case, the patient, and the person. Planning time for students to complete a self-assessment tool helps them know the self. Providing access to evidence-based guidelines helps students know the case. Providing copies of the state practice act and standards of practice helps students know the profession. Stating expectations for participation in postclinical conferences and stating office hours and due dates for work does not help develop foundational knowledge.
