Clinical reasoning is a process and term used regularly by health care professionals that includes nursing. It consists of expert skills that are learnt through knowledge, cognitive thinking and experience. Clinical reasoning is essential to nursing care as it shows the thinking process of the nurse and that the nurse can competently and safely deliver care to diverse patients (Harmon & Thompson, 2014). In conjunction with clinical reasoning, the terminology critical thinking, clinical judgement and clinical decision making are used collaboratively. There are many resources about clinical reasoning and studies used on nursing students, graduate nurses and postgraduate nurses. One key strategy, the Thinking Aloud (TA) strategy, will be critically discussed in this assignment, including the positive aspects and limitations.
