Literature on clinical judgment is discussed as a background for proposing an integrated model of diagnostic-therapeutic and ethical reasoning. Information processing and nursing process components related to problem identification and problem solving serve as a framework for the integration of the two domains of clinical reasoning. Discussion focuses on the integration of process components, identification of areas of research, and the use of the model in education and practice.
