Abstract:
:This paper explores the twin processes of information-seeking and data utilisation, two key components of the problem-solving process. The assessment and management of pain are examined as important exemplars of where varying degrees of skill and efficiency in these key processes emerge from the research conducted to date. It is suggested that if performance is to be enhanced, then a review of the current use of the nursing process, the main vehicle for the operationalisation of problem-solving in practice is required, coupled with further empirical study directed towards exploring how and when the development of advanced cognitive skills is best facilitated.
