When we were teaching critical care nursing students at the University of Virginia, we found that teaching diagnostic reasoning was best accomplished by using a case-based approach that guided students to think systematically to rule out specific diagnoses in their differential diagnosis. . The approach is reminiscent of Eliza Doolittle’s request to Henry Higgins when describing how to be a lady. She sang to him: “Don’t tell me, show me!” We developed a teaching method using a case format to do just that, to “show” students how to evaluate data to support or refute a diagnosis.
