Purposeful reflection leads to a deeper understanding of issues and the development of judgment and skill.One activity that will help a nurse develop into a critical thinker is reflective journaling.A concept map is a visual representation of meaningful relationships between concepts (e.g.,patient problems or nursing diagnoses and interventions),which then form propositions.The primary purpose of a concept map is to synthesize relevant data about a patient such as assessment data,nursing diagnoses,health needs,nursing interventions,and evaluation measures.The nursing process is a systematic process that incorporates diagnostic reasoning and clinical decision making through five steps: assessment,diagnosis,planning,implementation,and evaluation.Professional standards for critical thinking refer to ethical criteria for nursing judgments (e.g.,advocacy,patient autonomy,and beneficence),evidence-based criteria used for assessment and evaluation,and criteria for professional responsibility.
