Enhancing Nursing Care Planning Through the Levett-Jones Clinical Reasoning Cycle:A Comprehensive Analysis

Nursing care planning is a critical aspect of providing quality patient care, and the use of structured frameworks can significantly support students in creating effective care plans. This paper delves into the application of the Levett-Jones <br/>Clinical Reasoning Cycle (CRC) as a framework to guide nursing students in developing comprehensive and patient-centred care plans. By synthesizing various studies on clinical reasoning, nursing process, and care planning, this paper aims to highlight the utility of the CRC in enhancing students' clinical reasoning skills and improving the quality of nursing care plans. The discussion will explore the key components of the CRC, its adaptation to different clinical settings, and its impact on nursing education and practice.
