Nursing students' decision-making regarding postpartum hemorrhage: An exploration using the recognition-primed decision model

This study showed the potential of the Recognition-Primed Decision Model to organize the content and structure of the knowledge that supported nursing students' decision-making in a high-stake situation. The findings suggest that their knowledge disproportionately focuses on the cause-and-effect relations between cues and actions. They invite further consideration of longer-term goals and expectations in nursing education to prepare students to anticipate events and assess patient responses appropriately.
