    Clinical reasoning is regarded as the most important skill of a health practitioner.

    1. Do you agree with the statement? Support your answer.

    It is true that clinical reasoning is regarded as the most important skill of a healthcare
    practitioner because clinical reasoning is referred to all the cognitive processes employed by
    nurses, clinicians, and other health professionals in analysing a clinical case or a patient’s
    condition, reaching an accurate diagnosis, and proffering the appropriate treatment plan. This
    is a crucial practice of a healthcare professional as it relays on the condition of the patients. If
    one could fail on its clinical reasoning, for example its diagnosis, the patient could get worse or
    even die. But on the other hand, if the clinical reasoning is good, the diagnosis, the treatment
    plan went well, we the healthcare practitioner serves our purpose.

    2. How do you think can one improve his/her clinical reasoning skills?

    Learning is a continuous process, as we grow professionally we are always learning through our
    books, internets and our own experience especially in hospital settings, we encounter everyday
    different patients yet, we exercise our clinical reasonings. We also improve our clinical
    reasonings by listening to our colleagues, our mentors, not just in schools but also in our work
    place.

     
    1. How do you decide? What are the factors that you consider when making clinical or
    patient- care related decisions?
    As a nurse, decision making is very crucial. Patient’s well being is the outmost
    consideration. In everyday circumstances with patients, it is very hard to put
    professional decisions especially if the patient had different view on you. But as a
    professional healthcare worker, patient care is the priority, who ever the patient is.
    Patient’s safety and well-being is always the first thing in mind to every decision I
    consider in my everyday encounter to my patient.

    2. . What has been a most difficult patient or work-related decision you made recently?
    The most difficult patient or work related decision I have made early is related to my
    experience in the hospital. I am one of the covid nurse in our community isolation unit.
    Being a covid nurse is a sacrifice not only for me but also to my family. I decided to be in
    this situation to be at help in this pandemic.

    3. What are factors that can hinder a professional nurse from making sound judgments
    or decisions?
    Many factors that could hinder us professional nurses from making decisions, first is
    patients outlook. Patient comes from different walks in life, different religions, stance
    and well being. All of this can hinder us from making sound judgments. Second is our
    institution, government hospital especially here in the Philippines lacks resources, our
    institution for example is only an infirmary level and we had limited resources such as
    we do not have our ambulance to transport our patients in a bigger hospital. We can
    only accommodate limited patients for we have our community isolation unit being
    integrated in our hospital. This is just some hindrances that could affect our clinical
    judgments.
