4. Despite the presence of an intraventricular drain, the intracranial pressure of a patient in
neurological intensive care remains increased. The nurse recalibrates the machine, makes sure
the monitor is on the same level as the drain, checks all connections, and then notifies the
physician, who comes to the unit and inserts a new drain. What type of reasoning or thinking
prompts the nurse to recalibrate, assure proper placement, and check connections?
a. Abstract thinking
b. Concrete thinking
c. Logical reasoning
d. Dialectical reasoning
ANS: C
Logical reasoning is used to dissect components of a situation or conclusion, examine each
carefully, and analyze relationships among the parts. Abstract thinking is oriented toward the
development of an idea without application to, or association with, a particular instance.
Concrete thinking is oriented toward and limited by tangible things or by events that are
observed and experienced in reality. Dialectical reasoning involves looking at situations in a
holistic way.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application
5. A nurse with considerable clinical expertise develops a policy for managing agitated patients
in the Emergency Department. The resultant policy emanates from:
a. abstract thinking.
b. concrete thinking.
c. operational reasoning.
d. dialectical reasoning.
ANS: A
Abstract thinking is oriented toward the development of an idea without application to, or
association with, a particular instance. Concrete thinking is oriented toward and limited by
tangible things or by events that are observed and experienced in reality. Operational
reasoning is the identification of and discrimination among many alternatives and viewpoints.
Dialectical reasoning involves looking at situations in a holistic way.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application
6. A nurse with considerable clinical expertise develops a policy for managing agitated patients
in the Emergency Department. The type of reasoning the nurse uses to do this is:
a. problematic reasoning.
b. operational reasoning.
c. collaborative reasoning.
d. inductive reasoning.
, ANS: D
Inductive reasoning involves reasoning that moves from the specific to the general, whereby
particular instances are observed and then combined into a larger whole or general statement.
Problematic reasoning involves: (1) identifying a problem and factors influencing it, (2)
selecting solutions to the problem, and (3) resolving the problem. Operational reasoning
involves the identification of and discrimination among many alternatives and viewpoints.
Collaborative reasoning occurs when individuals with different perspectives “reason together”
to develop a coordinated plan of action.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Synthesis
7. What is the best explanation of the type of intuition that forms a legitimate source of
knowledge in nursing?
a. It is the result of recognizing patterns in a way that allows rapid conclusions.
b. It is based on a gift from the universe and should be honored when it arrives.
c. It is never inaccurate.
d. It is the process of examining and critiquing one’s thoughts.
ANS: A
Intuition is understanding without rationale. Intuition is described as pattern recognition,
seeing similarities and dissimilarities of a situation and seeing the whole in a way that allows
rapid conclusions. Because intuition is a type of knowing that seems to come unbidden, it may
also be described as a guy feeling, hunch, or sixth sense. Intuition cannot be explained
scientifically, therefore many people discount it or are uncomfortable talking about it. Expert
nurses are more likely to experience intuition, especially when they connect with their patients
and are open to their feelings.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application
8. Why is operational reasoning necessary for research?
a. Abstract concepts are of no use to nursing.
b. Standard interventions are obtained from operational reasoning.
c. It allows the researcher to devise ways to measure the concepts studied.
d. It facilitates the researcher’s rapport with families.
ANS: C
Operational reasoning involves the identification of and discrimination among many
alternatives and viewpoints. It focuses on the process (debating alternatives) rather than on the
resolution. Nurses use operational reasoning to develop realistic, measurable health goals. In
research, operationalizing a treatment or intervention to implement, comparing measurement
methods, and debating the appropriate data analysis techniques to use in a study require
operational thought.

1. Realistically, what might be done in a situation in which a nurse does not know the
appropriate way to use a new ultrasonic bladder scanner (a noninvasive, painless procedure)
but has a new order at 2 a.m. to perform a scan? (Select all that apply.)
