An analysis of nursing students' decision-making in teams during simulations of acute patient deterioration. J Adv Nurs 2016;72:2482–94.OpenUrlThis study provides a taxonomy of the decisions made by nursing students in patient deterioration simulations that can clarify the expected outcomes of decision-making education.The results highlight the influence of knowledge and non-technical skills on student's decision-making in a team-based context.Further research is needed to examine the generalisability of this taxonomy and evaluate the effectiveness of different approaches to teaching decision-making.Simulation is increasingly used to prepare nursing students to recognise and respond to patient deterioration and research suggests its effectiveness to improve students' decision-making ability.1 However, the best approaches to simulation for achieving this outcome are less understood.
