This book clearly links the topics discussed with the NMC standards for pre registration studnets and as such allows the students to see the relevence to their role and responsibilites. Each chapter follows a logical flow from what is clinical judgement and decision making to confidence in decision making.The chapters all have additional case studies and scenarios for students to explore as well as activites for students to use to further devleop and enhance their learning

A very useful text for students in their final placement. There are very few books that really look at decision making in such a logical and comprehensive manner. The book is clearly laid out and I liked the activities and case studies.

As with the rest of the series this is a very informative and inviting text for nursing students. The layout of the chapters, NMC Standards and ESC and chapter aims are excellent. The case studies and activities are valuable teaching aids.

i felt this gave an interesting insight to the student nurses in addressing how to make a descion..
Although written with preregistration nursing students as the main audience, this is a useful reference book for post-qualifying students who are looking more in depth at issues around clinical judgement and decision making.
with the new 2010 NMC (2010) pre-registration curriculum this fits perfectly with all the four domains of leadership, communication, nursing practice and professional values
This is for that 1st year students that has enquirying mind from the onset. Better suited to 2nd and 3rd year adult nursing students. So have added to my reading list for the Care of the Adult patient module in the 2nd year.
A good book that covers a variety of decisions made by nurses and how they relate to the NMC. Easy to read and uses case studies to enhance learning.
Although intended for preregistration students, this book is relevant to post reg students also. Very simple basic book covering all main points and activities to consider learning throughout.
A very useful introductory text that gives students valuable insight into clinical decision-making. The case studies and exercises are useful teaching aids.
This text gives student nurses a valuable insight into decision making in clinical practice. There are plenty of useful exercises in the book that allow the students to explore their own experiences demonstrating how many of the skills in decision making are transferable from every day life into nursing. The book also contains a very useful mapping of skills and competencies for student nurses against the essentail skills clusters and the NMC Code allowing students to understand what is expected of them at each stage of their course.
Has been useful for students in primary care to formalise some of the judgements they make during the assessment procedures.
