Document Summary
Creativity is a major component of critical thinking. Critical analysis: questioning a particular idea to determine essential elements, get rid of useless information and ideas. Socratic questioning: a technique used to look beneath the surface, recognize and examine assumptions, search for inconsistencies, examine multiple points of view and differentiate what is known from what is just believed. Inductive reasoning: generalizations are formed from a set of facts or observations. Deductive reasoning: a reasoning from a general to specific conclusion (not always accurate though) Clinical reasoning is the thought process used to asses a client"s evolving situation and heal care concerns, gather data, and make decisions to solve problems. Clinical judgement: the interpretation of a patient"s needs, concerns, or problems, and the decision to take action or not using standard approaches or different approaches. Focuses on the critique and evaluation of actions taken and lessons learned.
