As well as responding to challenging situations using advanced psycho motor skills, Nurses use clinical reasoning as sophisticated thinking abilities to make decisions about patients with complex and diverse health care needs (Levett-Jones, 2018). There are 3 family members included in this case study that you can choose from. Please review the family information provided to you in the Demetriou family case study located in the Assessment Tile on LEO or in Appendix B of the Extended Unit Outline.
