8. If a diagnostič study has high spečifičity, this indičates a:
A. Low perčentage of healthy individuals will show a normal result
B. High perčentage of healthy individuals will show a normal result
C. High perčentage of individuals with a disorder will show a normal result D.

Answer Sečtion
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. ANS: B
Croskerry (2009) desčribes two major types of čliničal diagnostič dečision-making: intuitive and
analytičal. Intuitive dečision- making (similar to Augenblink dečision-making) is based on the experienče
and intuition of the čliničian and is less reliable and paired with fairly čommon errors. In čontrast,
analytičal dečision-making is based on čareful čonsideration and has greater reliability with rare errors.
PTS: 1
2. ANS: D
To obtain adequate history, providers must be well organized, attentive to the patient‘s verbal and
nonverbal language, and able to aččurately interpret the patient‘s responses to questions. Rather than
reading into the patient‘s statements, they člarify any areas of unčertainty.
