From the supplier: The use of critical pathways should be only one aspect of nursing care. Critical pathways, as used in nursing care, are abbreviated timelines for guiding the general treatment of specific medical conditions and not specific patients. Nurses' training should include guidance in developing, revising, and implementing nursing care plans for individual patients within the context of the conditions' critical pathways. This training should involve critical thinking skills and not rote memorization. These skills will help the nurse prioritize the patient's care needs.
