The nurse is being thorough,which is using the critical thinking attitude of discipline.A disciplined thinker misses few details and follows an orderly or systematic approach when collecting information,making decisions,or taking action.A person of integrity is honest and willing to admit to any mistakes or inconsistencies in his or her own behavior,ideas,and beliefs.Planning and nursing diagnosis are steps in the nursing process,not attitudes for critical thinking.
