diagnostic reasoning and the selection of patient outcomes and nursing interventions. With the current implementation of electronic health records, using standardized nursing languages such as NANDA-International, NIC, and NOC becomes critical. Electronic data must have standardized formats and definitions. When nurses carefully select the best standardized terms using critical thinking abilities, it provides the data needed for continuous quality improvement. This book offers guidance and the necessary tools for selecting accurate terminology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFour chapters describe the meaning of intelligence, critical thinking, and application of critical thinking processes within nursing. The case studies and their ultimate resolution to intervention and outcome illustrate critical thinking processes and provide a valuable learning tool by enabling repeated practice. Case studies are organized into four sections; problem diagnoses, risk diagnoses, health promotion diagnoses, and strength diagnoses.
