38.1 Unfolding Case Study Dissection

  • Clinical judgment skills continue in licensed practice.
  • Successfully stabilizing a client’s anxiety, pain, or fear will enhance outcomes of care. In addition, nurses are likely to feel personally rewarded in their careers.

38.2 NCLEX Preparation

  • Critical thinking and clinical judgment develop in nursing practice over time and through models like the CJMM. Schools of nursing evaluate these skills for successful completion of academic courses.
  • The NCLEX evaluates these skills prior to licensure as a professional nurse. Nurses must act efficiently and safely, while identifying and seeking to meet client care goals.
