Question

a nurse is caring for a client who is in an acute care facility. the nurse should recognize that the clients care requires clinical reasoning when it is complicated by which of the following factors? (select all that apply.)

complex clinical situations

ongoing client and family concerns

cost of health care

decreased need for advanced health care practitioner intervention

availability of computerized medical records

Explanation:

Clinical reasoning in nursing is needed when dealing with complex scenarios. Complex clinical situations require nurses to think critically to make appropriate decisions. Ongoing client and family concerns also demand careful consideration and reasoning to address effectively. The cost of healthcare might influence overall care - planning but is not a direct factor that always requires clinical reasoning. A decreased need for advanced healthcare practitioner intervention does not inherently require clinical reasoning. The availability of computerized medical records is a tool for information - gathering, not a factor that complicates care in a way that directly requires clinical reasoning.

Answer:

A. Complex clinical situations
B. Ongoing client and family concerns
