Thinking of pros and cons and then performing the action - In the satisficing
approach to decision making, the nurse makes a quick decision by selecting an
acceptable solution, even if it isn't the best one. Therefore the nurse leader makes a
decision to provide preliminary care to the client, which meets the objective of
treating the client minimally. Informing the client's family members may be the
next step after providing preliminary care. Waiting for the primary healthcare
provider to treat the client would not be an effective decision for the nurse leader to
make as it may lead a serious condition in the client. Thinking of pros and cons and
then performing an action indicates 'optimizing approach' of decision making.
