The effect of game-based scenario writing on the clinical reasoning of internship nursing students in cardiovascular emergencies and critical care units.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nurses' failure to properly apply clinical reasoning (CR) can result in diagnostic errors especially in cardiac emergencies and critical care that compromise patient care and threaten patient safety.
