Hi Lorraine Ledgerwood,

I agree with your viewpoint that some techniques expedite the acquisition of clinical decision-making skills more effectively than others. According to Nibbelink and Brewer (2018) and Price et al. (2017), the intuitive approach is often more accurate and reliable than narrative thinking in fostering clinical judgment skills. This approach is particularly valuable in assessing similar clinical complications, where intuitive methods are integral during the cue acquisition process, ultimately enhancing decision-making outcomes.

Additionally, Price et al. (2017) emphasize the significance of nurse educators encouraging learners to engage in structured reflections on their decision-making processes. This practice not only improves critical thinking but also motivates learners to rely on contextualized and holistic intuition during clinical practice. Creating opportunities for such reflective learning can lead to more effective and confident decision-making. Thank you for your insightful contribution!
