The reasoning is categorized into two types which are inductive or forward and deductive or backward wherein each has different features and plays different roles in providing solutions to complex problems. The inductive reasoning process is that individual facts are observed first before making a conclusion on a principle, however, the deductive reasoning process is solving given problems based on consideration of general principles and knowledge of a solid foundation. In order to achieve the major goal, inductive reasoning or means-ends analysis is considered a data-driven approach and more useful in finding a solution quickly, whereas deductive reasoning or moving backward gradually gets rids of things that are not necessary and spends more time deleting wrong answers or inferences to look for the root causes of a problem (Shin, 2019).
Middle-range theories serve as frameworks for evidence-based projects and research studies in guiding the interpretation and application of the findings where it illuminates research and structure knowledge to build nursing science and nursing practice (Valentine & Sekula, 2020). PICOT is one way to streamline the process of research literature and by using it as a format, it focuses the search for evidence. Concentrating on evidence of effective interventions is a good way of improving clinical judgment and prevents one’s practice of falling into traditional care without any advancements (Black, 2019).
The concepts of inductive and deductive reasoning in clinical reasoning apply to gathering appropriate information and making a clinical diagnosis by providing scientific evidence on the outcomes of good quality nursing care.

Great job on your post. I like it a lot. My favorite part was when you mentioned that nurses are responsible for life-long learning and that this is to prevent stagnation as well as harm to the clients we care for. In an article done by Mlambo, Silén, and McGrath in 2021, it was talked about not only how important it is for nursing professionals to continue education as well as development; however, there is also a negative. This study found that education or professional development opportunities are not as available as they should be for the nurses in question (Mlambo, Silén, & McGrath, 2021). This is something I have noticed in the clinical setting. Oftentimes, the facility will assign education to the staff; however, when it came to professional development, things became a little more difficult. For example, there is little to no reimbursement for a practicing ER nurse to take the CEN (Certified Emergency Nurse) board exam which costs several hundreds of dollars. Then, when this certification is achieved, that has to be renewed every 4 years, the nurse only gets a couple of dollars an hour increase. This does not give a lot of incentive to get said certification. Also, many nurses are already BSN upon undergraduate graduation. This means, education-wise, the nurse needs now a master’s or doctorate degree, which very few facilities cover fully. Continuing education and development are important; however, it needs to be more attainable for said nurses.

What an insightful post this is. I cannot agree with you less when you noted that “Middle-range theories serve as frameworks for evidence-based projects and research studies.” My PICOT, quality improvement project, will be underpinned by two theoretical lens of which middle-range theory is one of them. I paired it with Faith Community Theory of Nursing because two provides clear direction on how to navigate the process including data collection and data analysis. Alligood and Fawcett (2017) noted that limited, narrower,
and easily explored attributes of middle-range theories made the allure in nursing practice. It is important to state that middle range theories and Faith Community Theory of nursing guide evidence-based studies or projects such as DNP projects, in addition to providing a solid foundation for nursing practice. Nursing theories attempts to describe, predict, or explain phenomena consistent with nursing’s perspective (Dewey, 2017), It is important to stress that the product of nursing science is nursing practice.
