Includes bibliographical references and index.

Clinical reasoning is the complex thinking and decision-making used to come to a diagnosis and management plan. It's a core competency of clinical practice - but because it involves many elements and unconscious processes, it's both difficult to learn and teach. This book provides the concepts and frameworks healthcare professionals need to be able to reason effectively, make sound and defensible clinical decisions, and learn from experience as they develop from student to practitioner.
