This book lets your students use other beginners' clinical experiences to establish their own clinical reasoning skills. Each chapter contains 10 to 12 scenarios written by students, describing situations they faced in clinical. After each scenario, a list of questions helps your students identify and evaluate decision points, empowering them to develop habits for reflection and patterns of successful decision making. "This book is an answer to my prayers. A print version of "walking the student" through the process of thinking. The institution may do it verbally but this makes the process real." -- Judith Ann Kilpatrick, Lecturer, Widener University, Chester, Pennsylvania
