title: Designing clinical examples to promote pattern recognition: nursing education-based research and practical applications.
abstract: Despite carefully planned classroom sessions and richly designed clinical experiences, nurse educators know that, realistically, students will not encounter all of the life-threatening patient situations that require recognition and intervention during these sessions and experiences. However, on graduation, these students will be legally accountable for recognition of these situations and the immediate interventions associated with them. Therefore, the challenge for nurse educators is how to structure didactic interactions that promote pattern recognition in anticipation of such yet-to-be-experienced events.
