História: Raciocinar com hipóteses e evidências

Nível: C1

Reasoning at the bedside

During a review, the team noticed a gradual change in the patient’s observations. The senior clinician said that the signal suggested a developing problem but did not establish its cause. A delayed review may have contributed, although that remained a hypothesis. The team agreed to record the observation and the hypothesis separately.

A conditional next step

If the trend continued, the patient would be reassessed and the evidence reviewed. One member noted that correlation did not establish causation. The team identified a safe action while uncertainty remained. The discussion ended with a plan to gather further observations before changing treatment.
