Clinical Reasoning Reflection Paper
Clinical reasoning is the process of thinking that guides and occupational therapist clinical practice (Shafaroodi, Kamali, Parvizy, Mehraban, O'Toole, 2013). Seminal work by Fleming (1991) identifies three areas of clinical reasoning thought; procedural, Interactive and conditional (Robertson & Griffiths, 2012). Through my learning style of reader/writer my personal clinical reasoning is drawn strongly from the use of textbooks and research articles.

    Som Dreyfus Model Of Skill Acquisition

    This study is anchored on Dreyfus, Model of Skill Acquisition. The Dreyfus model describes how individuals progress through various levels in their acquisition of skills and subsumes ideas with regard to how individuals learn. Such a model is being accepted almost without debate from physicians to explain the ‘acquisition’ of clinical skills. This paper reviews such a model, discusses several controversial points, clarifies what kind of knowledge the model is about, and examines its coherence in terms of problem-solving skills. Dreyfus' main idea that intuition is a major aspect of expertise is also discussed in some detail.

As a result, philosophical intuition can complement the scientific method and serve as another valid and promising means to obtain nursing knowledge. These steps are all intertwined to form future nursing care. Knowledge is built upon theories, for as Lauden (1984) noted, “problems constitute the questions of science, but theories constitute the answers” (McCurry et. al 2009, pg.…
