| An important element of implementation is documentation. The client database includes all the information obtained from the medical and nursing history. Physical examination and diagnostic studies are not an important element of implementation. Critical thinking is intentional, contemplative, and outcome-directed thinking. Developing good critical thinking skills will make nurses more efficient and effective at resolving situations necessitating multiple interventions.
