Updated and revised, the second edition of this popular text equips the reader with critical thinking and professional skills needed to face the challenges of today's rapidly changing healthcare system. A strong focus on practicality helps the reader to apply critical thinking techniques in the "real world", even while learning theoretical bases. The book outlines how students can apply critical thinking to everyday scenarios, and then it applies those skills to nursing. Later chapters offer practice scenarios illustrating "real world", situations, such as communicating bad news, working in teams, managing conflict. The text also addresses the shift in health care delivery from a "diagnose and treat" to a "predict, prevent, manage" model. Features: * Rosalinda Alfaro-LeFevre is a renowned speaker, author, and workshop presenter, with 20 years of clinical experience. * Succinct and consistent style creates a user friendly presentation. * Interactive material engages the reader with a wealth of real world examples, analogies, case studies and practice sessions. * Sample responses to critical thinking exercises in the back of the book suggest possible approaches to real life situations. New to this edition: * Chapters focus on outcome driven, evidence-based care. * Completely new chapter provides guidelines for mastering the workplace skills suggested by "National Education Goals 2000 ", and provides strategies for dealing with common workplace challenges. * Cutting edge content includes information from national and international advisors. * Completely revised and updated, it presents more information on changes in health care delivery and the critical thinking movement.
