Inductive reasoning | Nurse: Elevated vitals and adventitious lung sounds = Pneumonia |
Deductive reasoning | General data to know what specific data to expect |
Deductive reasoning | Practical: Tree= Leaves, Bark, Branches |
Deductive reasoning | Nurse: Pneumonia= elevated vitals and adventitious lung sounds |
Step 1 Assessment | You see it. A huge nail is sticking out of one of the rear tires and the tire is noticeably deflated. |
Step 2 Diagnosing | You determine that you have a flat tire. |
Step 3 Planning | You can replace the tire by changing out the flat one with the spare in the trunk. Good thing you took that class in how to do simple maintenance and repairs on a car! (developed a goal and intervention) |
Step 4 Implementing | You get the jack and spare tire out of the trunk, roll up your sleeves and get to work. |
Step 5 Evaluating | After the new tire is installed , You begin slowly to test the feel as you drive. Good. Everything seems fine. The spare tire seems to be OK . (Determined if your goal was met). |
