And what book best equips you to master the critical thinking skills needed for success on the NCLEX examination and in professional nursing practice? Alfaro's Critical Thinking, Clinical Reasoning, and Clinical Judgment, 6th Edition! With a motivational style and insightful "how-to" approach, this unique textbook draws upon real-life scenarios and evidence-based strategies as it guides you in learning to think critically in clinically meaningful ways. The new edition features a more streamlined, full-color design, and expanded coverage on some of key trends, including: interdisciplinary care teams, competency-based education, the IOM’s Leading Health Indicators, legal considerations, the effects of the Affordable Care Act, and much more.

    • UNIQUE! Brain-based learning principles utilize strategies that challenge the mind and are incorporated throughout the text.
    • Timely coverage includes topical issues, such as: problem-focused versus outcome-focused thinking, prioritizing, developing a culture of safety, healthy work environments, expanding roles related to diagnosis and management, applying delegation principles, evidence-based practice, improving grades and passing tests the first time, NCLEX preparation, ensuring documentation reflects critical thinking, communication and interpersonal skills, strategies for common workplace challenges, and more.
    • Inclusion of ethics- and standards-based professional practice reflects today’s professional climate which demands increasing accountability.
    • Incorporation of cultural, spiritual, and lifespan content along with the nurse’s role in hospitals, communities, and long-term care settings presents a broad approach to critical thinking.
    • Discussion of Tanner and Benner’s most recent work on what the research says about critical thinking and clinical judgment in nursing keeps readers up to date on the evidence-based side of practice.
    • Coverage of IOM, QSEN, and other patient safety standards also keeps readers up to date on safe and effective nursing care.

      Correct book but came damaged.
      The book came on time and is what I need. The only issue is that it came with the front cover over half way cut from top to bottom.

        It’s a text book for a nursing class. It served the purpose for which I bought it, and it was relevant for the course I was taking.

        It could have been a great deal but for the wait time for it to arrive, it's super frustrating. I should give this negative star because of all the wasted time, reading and money just to buy another one. I am going to return this product once arrive. It has been shipped August 28 and until now, it has not arrived.
