In patient care situations, there are fundamental differences in approaches to decision-making between BSN-prepared nurses and ADN-prepared nurses. For instance, in a patient c are situation where the patient needs intubation in emergency room, the ADNs and BSN nurses are likely to portray differences in decision making approaches. The BSNs approach to decision is likely to be anchored on the management of the patient after intubation while ADNs approach to decision is directly focused on patient treatment since they have authority to intubate the patient and prescribe drugs to the patient. Likewise, in the decision making approaches involving end of life care, the BSNs will focus on various aspects such as the rights of the patient, legal, and palliative aspects, which the ADNs are not trained to focus on (Loversidge et al., 2018).
