Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (CJMM):

• Recognize Cues: Identify relevant patient data (e.g., vital signs).
• Analyze Cues: Interpret data to form hypotheses (e.g., linking fever to infection).
• Prioritize Hypotheses: Rank issues by urgency (e.g., airway over pain).
• Generate Solutions: Plan interventions (e.g., oxygen for hypoxia).
• Take Action: Implement the plan (e.g., administer medication).
• Evaluate Outcomes: Assess effectiveness (e.g., improved breathing).
