B. Deductiveṛeasoning
C. Intuitiveṛeasoning
D.ṛeflectiveṛeasoning
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Deductiveṛeasoning starts with general knowledge (e.g., disease patterns) and applies it to specific
patient cases.
3. Inductiveṛeasoning involves:
A. Applying knownṛules
B. Patternṛecognition from observations
C. Ignoring patient data
D. Using intuition only
Correct Answer: B
