Making effective clinical decisions promotes positive patient outcomes, knowledge, skills and confidence in nurses. Through the Situated Clinical Decision-Making Framework clinical decision making focuses on cues, judgments, decision(s) and evaluation of outcomes. Consider your recent patient care experiences, think about how you have made patient care decision(s). Read the Article “Helping Novice Nurses Make Effective Clinical Decisions: The Situated Clinical Decision-Making Framework”, review the Decision Making Process Checklist and write a through discussion post on how you are developing clinical decision making as a novice nurse. Use examples from your clinical experiences and the below clinical decision making process checklist to guide your posting. As always protect the identity of your patient in discussion postings.
