Ok this discussion is not about knowing or not knowing A&P. In nursing everything we are told to do or not to do there is always a rationale behind it. If it was as simple as knowing A&P then we won't go to nursing school. Anyway, I wish not to continue this argument regarding knowing A&P or not. I'm pretty sure others might have had this same question. Thank you Okami and KatieMI for your answers, I really appreciated it and my question is answered.

My point is: most of what we learned in nursing school is the building blocks to what is to come; most of our knowledge is derived from other sources, how've things that aren't covered as to rationale is more simple as to fundamental knowledge, such as A&P.

Nursing rationale, to my understanding, is the requirement of the reasoning behind the nursing process; meaning based on diagnoses, and plan, our rationale is based on the knowledge that is derived from sources of our fundamentals-A&P, Psych (into, developmental, and abnormal, chemistry) theoretical sources, research and the like, to determine WHAT would be the best option.

My viewpoint was to infer since you had the answers given previously, that most critical thinking, in terms of nursing judgement, are derived a lot of times from the most basic of sources, and that is within whatever source is appropriate, hence the referral to A&P, since it seems led you weren't clear from the previous sources.

Best wishes.
