“3 Critical Points”
Identify the 3 critical (Most Important) points for every NCLEX Client Need Category below 75%. Use whatever reliable evidence-based resources necessary to remediate each topic (ATI Focused Review, ATI eBook, Course textbook). Cite your sources (APA formatting not required).
Include the following reflection with each of your topics
• How do the 3 critical (Most Important) points that you learned help you understand the following 6 Cognitive Functions (which follows the Nursing Process):
o Recognize Cures (Assessment) – Filter information from different sources (i.e., signs, symptoms, health history, environment).
o Analyze Cues (Analysis) – Link recognized cues to a client’s clinical presentation and establishing probable client needs, concerns, or problems.
o Prioritize Hypotheses (Analysis) – Establish priorities of care based on the client’s health problems (i.e. environmental factors, risk assessment, urgency, signs/ symptoms, diagnostic test, lab values, etc.)
o Generate Solutions (Planning) – Identify expected outcomes and related nursing interventions to ensure clients’ needs are met.
o Take Actions (Implementation) – Implement appropriate interventions based on nursing knowledge, priorities of care, and planned outcomes to promote, maintain, or restore a client’s health.
o Evaluate Outcomes (Assessment) – Evaluate a client’s response to nursing interventions and reach a nursing judgment regarding the extent to which outcomes have been met.

Topic: Advanced Directive/Self-Determination/Life planning
3 critical points:
Advance Directives is a legal document that provides instructions to healthcare providers about the medical care a patient would want or not want in case they are unable to communicate their wishes.
Two common types of Advance Directives are Living Will and Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA). A Living Will outlines the type of medical treatment the patient would like to receive or not receive. DPOA is a legal document that designates a trusted person to make healthcare decisions on behalf of the patient.
Nurses have a legal responsibility to provide information about Advance Directives to their patients and ensure that their patients understand the implications of their decisions.
Reflection on critical points using the 6 Cognitive Functions:
Recognize Cues (Assessment): By understanding the critical points related to Advance Directives, I can recognize cues from patients and assess their understanding of these documents. This will help me to provide information about Advance Directives to my patients effectively.
Analyze Cues (Analysis): I can link recognized cues from patients about their healthcare preferences to their clinical presentation and establish probable client needs, concerns, or problems. This will enable me to understand their medical treatment preferences and provide appropriate care.
Prioritize Hypotheses (Analysis): By establishing priorities of care based on a patient’s health problems, including their Advance Directives, I can provide optimal care that meets their needs.
Generate Solutions (Planning): I can identify expected outcomes and related nursing interventions based on a patient’s Advance Directives to ensure their needs are met. This will help me to provide patient-centered care that respects their wishes.
Take Actions (Implementation): I can implement appropriate interventions based on nursing knowledge, priorities of care, and planned outcomes to promote, maintain, or restore a patient’s health, while respecting their Advance Directives.
Evaluate Outcomes (Assessment): I can evaluate a patient’s response to nursing interventions and reach a nursing judgment regarding the extent to which outcomes have been met, while taking their Advance Directives into consideration.
