Watkins, Mary P.
Journal of Professional Nursing, v14 n1 p22-33 Jan-Feb 1998
Expert community health nurses (n=28) described crucial clinical situations. Content analysis revealed that decision making was both rational and intuitive. Eight themes were identified: decision-making focus, type, purpose, decision-maker characteristics, sequencing of events, data collection methods, facilitators/barriers, and decision-making roles of nurses.
