Abstract	Some fluid and electrolyte imbalances are directly caused by illness or diseases (e.g. burns, heart failure), the imbalance occurs also due to nurses’ practice errors and medication administrative errors., “Critical thinking” needs to be a central and vital component of nursing practice. It is the responsibility of the nurse caring for a patient to ensure observations and any abnormal findings. The present study focuses to assess the critical disposition regarding fluid and electrolyte imbalance among staff nurses with a view to plan a CNE at Era Hospital, Lucknow. The discussion about the study findings are presented in this chapter. The findings of the study are discussed under the following headings: i) Assess the level of critical disposition regarding fluid and electrolyte imbalance among staff nurses. ii) Associate between the level of critical disposition regarding fluid and electrolyte imbalance with selected demographic variables. iii) Conduct a CNE on critical disposition regarding fluid and electrolyte imbalance among staff nurses. A quantitative research approach and non-experimental descriptive research design was adopted for the study. Conceptual framework was based on Donabedian’s Theory. Data was collected by using self-structured questionnaire (based on analytical skills, systematic skills, interpretation and evaluation) for critical disposition regarding fluid and electrolyte imbalance which was found reliable (r=0.77). The collected data from 131 staff nurses selected by using convenient sampling technique was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study revealed that majority 98 (74.8%) had inadequate critical disposition among staff nurses, 22 (16.8%) had moderate critical disposition among staff nurses and 11 (8.4%) had adequate critical disposition among staff nurses. Under the sections, the systematic skills rank given as 1, evaluation given as rank 2, analytical skills given as rank 3 and interpretation given as rank 4. The study findings revealed that age in years, total years of experience and area of working is found to have significant association scores and there was no significant association between course completed. Therefore, there is a critical disposition regarding fluid and electrolyte imbalance. The CNE will help to improve and motivate the staff nurses to increase their knowledge and skills.
