Why is critical thinking important and how can it be enhanced?
Critical thinking is important in nursing because it allows nurses to make well-informed decisions quickly, especially in emergencies. It can be enhanced by:
1. Case studies: Analyzing real-life scenarios to develop problem-solving skills. 2. Reflective practice: Regularly reflecting on clinical experiences to identify areas for improvement. 3. Discussion groups: Participating in [interdisciplinary teams]() to gain different perspectives on patient care.
