B
The nurse used critical thinking. Critical thinking involves recognizing that an issue (e.g., patient problem) exists, analyzing information related to the issue (e.g., clinical data about a patient), evaluating information (including assumptions and evidence), and drawing conclusions. Intuition is an inner sensing or gut feeling that something is so. Reflection is a part of critical thinking that involves the process of purposefully thinking back or recalling a situation to discover its purpose or meaning. Perseverance means to also keep looking for additional resources until you find a successful approach.
