In order to implement the most effective care for clients, a nursing student must:
A) have expert-level critical-thinking skills.
B) apply preexisting knowledge to present situations.
C) replace theoretic knowledge with practical knowledge.
D) maintain a detailed clinical log for evaluation.
Ans: B
Feedback:
To deal with the client's problems appropriately, the student nurse will need to use her knowledge base from previous classes. Critical thinking skills are necessary, but these do not have to be at an expert level. Theoretic and practical knowledge are complementary, not contradictory. A clinical log does not ensure effective care.
