The student will write a critically appraised summary of the selected evidence-based nursing article using American Psychological Association (APA) format, professional writing skills and language, while relating the information to the clinical incident in a succinct and clear manner.
The critical reasoning and reflective thinking for the assignment involves three questions:
1. WHAT? Think about a patient care incident that has occurred in the adult medical-surgical clinical setting: a situation, event, encounter or experience which has elicited a feeling, emotion, relief, surprise, understanding or confirmation and describe it within the essential context of the incident. This is something that you experience as a student while in the 195 or 205 clinical. Use your clinical instructor as a resource.
2. SO WHY? Why was this incident significant? Describe why this incident was significant enough to affect you or impacted your nursing care or practice
3. NOW WHAT? Describe specific lessons learned from this incident and what would the student do differently if the incident repeated itself. This section requires the student to search for a nursing article (peer-reviewed) that addresses the lesson learned or supports an alternative intervention or approach to the incident. Reference is made to the article appropriate APA format.
