Clinical Judgement
Clinical Judgement assignments are scenario-based exercises that walk you through patient situations and data. You will be asked to make a series of clinical judgments about patient care.
Each Clinical Judgment assignment will begin with a brief introduction to the scenario and a patient photograph. There are six questions in each assignment, all based on the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model and the Next Generation NCLEX® approach to assessing clinical judgment. Each question features a patient chart. The chart includes clickable tabs for History and Physical Assessment, Nurses’ Notes, Vital Signs and Lab Results. The chart is modeled on the charts used in the Next Generation NCLEX cases.
As each case progresses, the chart will populate with additional data.
