Rosalinda Alfaro-LeFevre's Sigma Theta Tau Best Pick and AJN Book of the Year award-winning text is now in its Sixth Edition, with a new focus on using the nursing process as a tool for critical thinking. The greatly expanded critical thinking content equips nurses with crucial decision-making skills and reflects current ANA standards. This edition presents evidence-based "Critical Thinking Indicators"[trademark] - behaviors that promote critical thinking - for each phase of the nursing process, plus tools to help nurses prioritize their approach at each phase. Other new features include expanded coverage of delegation, collaborative practice, and documentation, and key regulations for error prevention. A new design helps readers focus on what's most important.
