The nursing student is considering ways to apply some of the characteristics of critical thinkers to the care of clients in the clinical setting. Which of the following would be an example of subjecting the egocentric self to close scrutiny?
1. Adjusting attitudes regarding clients from another culture
2. Arriving to clinical in a timely fashion
3. Dressing in a professional manner
4. Reviewing the client's diet tray
1
Rationale 1: Critical thinkers should review their own opinions and judgments about people to ensure that decisions made are for the good of the client and not bias on the part of the nurse. Arriving at clinical on time and professionally dressed is an expectation, and does not require critical thinking. There is not enough information about reviewing the tray to know if critical thinking was used.
