Clinical decision-making is now recognised as an indispensable facet of professional nursing care. It is essential that students develop sound decision-making skills in order to deal with the challenges they will encounter as registered nurses. This book enables pre-registration nursing students to understand, develop and apply these skills in order to practise safely and effectively. The structure of the book helps the student progress in effective decision-making right from the first to final year of their programme. The book links theory to previous students' experiences and clinical scenarios to show how to use these skills in practice. The second edition of the book has been updated to include the very latest evidence, a brand new chapter on evaluating clinical judgement and decision-making and a companion website containing extra materials, new activities scenarios.
