CRITICAL THINKING APPLIED TO NURSING examines the concept of critical thinking and shows how it can be applied to the everyday situations confronting practicing nurses as they interact with clients, families, colleagues, and administrators. The text covers major concepts in critical thinking such as assumptions, frame of reference, language context, reflection, evidence, reasoning, argument, persuasion, and creativity, and applies them to the nurse's role as caregiver, manager, and professional.
