Explanation is demonstrated when the nurse uses personal experience and applicable knowledge bases to determine the best plan of care for the patient.Scientific knowledge and experience to choose strategies you use in the care of patient is explanation; it supports your findings and conclusions.Evaluation is looking at all situations objectively and systematically and using criteria to determine results of nursing actions.Self-regulation is reflecting on your experiences and identifying ways you can improve your own performance.Development is not a critical thinking skill.
