In this nursing education text that can also be used for inservice training, readers step through a number of scenarios that explain how critical thinking (CT) works and how it applies to the profession. It covers the basic theories behind critical thinking, profiles those who use CT, such as clinicians and educators, explains why critical thinking is important and how it relates to patient-centered care, evidence-based practice, informatics, and quality improvement. One of the most interesting chapters uses CT to assess CT; another shows why nurses must learn CT and apply it to the realities of practice. A pocket card and index of tactics are included.
