B. analytical
C. experiential
D. augenblick
2. which of the following is false? to obtain adequate history,health-care providers
must be:
A. methodical and systematic
B. attentive to the patient’s verbal and nonverbal language
C. able to accurately interpret the patient’s responses
D. adept at reading into the patient’s statements
3.
essential parts of a health history include all of thefollowing except:
A. chief complaint
B. history of the present illness
C. current vital signs
D. all of the above are essential history components
4. which of the following is false? while performing thephysical examination, the
examiner must be able to:
A. differentiate between normal and abnormal findings
B. recall knowledge of a range of conditions and their associated signs
and symptoms
C. recognize how certain conditions affect the response to
5. other conditions
D. foresee unpredictable findings
the following is the least reliable source of information fordiagnostic statistics:
A. evidence-based investigations
B. primary reports of research
C. estimation based on a provider’s experience
6.
D. published meta-analyses
the following can be used to assist in sound clinical decision-making:
A. algorithm published in a peer-reviewed journal article
B. clinical practice guidelines
C. evidence-based research
7. D. all of the above
if a diagnostic study has high sensitivity, this indicates a:
A. high percentage of persons with the given condition will have an abnormal
result
B. low percentage of persons with the given condition willhave an abnormal
result
C. low likelihood of a normal result in persons without a given condition
extra per year?
, if a diagnostic study has high specificity, this indicates a:
8. a. low percentage of healthy individuals will show a normalresult
B. high percentage of healthy individuals will show anormal result
C. high percentage of individuals with a disorder will show anormal result
D. low percentage of individuals with a disorder will show
9. an abnormal result
a likelihood ratio above 1 indicates that a diagnostic test showing a:
A. positive result is strongly associated with the disease
B. negative result is strongly associated with absence of thedisease
C. positive result is weakly associated with the disease
D. negative result is weakly associated with absence of thedisease
10. which of the following clinical reasoning tools is defined as evidence-based
resource based on mathematical modeling to express the likelihood of a
condition in select situations,settings, and/orpatients?
A. clinical practice guideline
B. clinical decision rule
C. clinical algorithm
D. clinical recommendation
