Concerns are raised concerning the safety of patients as cases of error and injury escalate globally. To improve the security of patients, nurses are thus supposed to recognize variations in the condition of the patient. Besides, they should be in a position to anticipate orders, prioritize and conduct independent nursing interventions. Critical thinking can influence patient safety as the actions mentioned above require excellent decision-making skills, critical thinking and the ability to pass information accordingly. Educator nurses are called upon to mentor new graduates at the advanced beginner level or novice level which are the vital stages drawing for applying critical thinking. Also, they should find innovative ways to cope with the budgetary constraints that have often reduced the training period while nurturing the expected outcomes in novice nurses (Fitzgerald et al., 2012).

[...] He reports that he keeps up with the follow-up visits scheduled once in four months. Mr. Gibson smokes half a packet of cigarettes every day, and he consumes all kinds of food including fried food, fast food, and soft drinks.

[...] Modern nurses are called upon to depict knowledge and diagnostic expertise, sophisticated skills and education preparedness for ones entitled to caring for stroke patients. Nursing education is hence moving away from the passive acquisition of facts into critical thinking and inquiry-based learning. Emanuel and Cross (2012) report that this form of education enables nurses to examine arguments in their line of duty as a component of their summative service hence the need for demonstrating critical thinking. Vignettes are defined as a brief description of various scenarios where respondents are required to react as a mode of assessing the accuracy of student nurses in pain assessment. [...]
[...] The interpersonal team can hence reach frail and vulnerable patients who are unable to make follow-up visits to the clinic. In this case, Mr. Gibson is served in a non-threatening environment that allows the nurse to notice possible factors behind non-compliance. Some of the ethical issues about the home-based model is the compromised access to patient medical records, and the need to seek specialist consultation is unfulfilled. Poor judgment by the representative of the patient may lead to deterioration of the condition. [...]
