William,
It is a discipline that goes against today's paradigm. But the benefits can be significant. Good point.

We live in an age that is "instant," "right now," "fast" everything. This climate prevents a thorough understand of any subject under consideration. We need to take time to think.
Tula,
Excellent insight. Leading the student through the learning process can be of a much higher value to the student in the long run. Good post.

Renee, you make a very good point. I do see at times I am quick to answer a student because I am usually excited to tell them the answer. Though I now think I should pause more and actually come back at them at possible answers they might have. It would help with their critical thinking skills to see what they could come up with based on patient assessment data we review.
Renee,
Hmmm...(pause)... this is an excellent approach.
