MULTIPLE CHOICE fr




1. ANS: B f r



Croskerry (2009) describes two major types of clinical diagnostic decision- fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr



making: intuitive and analytical. Intuitive decision-making (similar to Augenblink decision-
fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr



making) is based on the experience and intuition of the clinician and is less reliable and paired with fa
fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr



irly common errors. In contrast, analytical decision-
fr fr fr fr fr fr



making is based on careful consideration and has greater reliabilitywith rare errors.

2. ANS: D f r



To obtain adequate history, providers must be well organized, attentive to the patient’s verbal andnonv
fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr rf



erbal language, and able to accurately interpret the patient’s responses to questions. Rather than readi

ng into the patient’s statements, they clarify any areas of uncertainty.

Vital signs are part of the physical examination portion of patient assessment, not part of the healthhisto

4. ANS: D f r



While performing the physical examination, the examiner must be able to differentiate betweennorma

Sources for diagnostic statistics include textbooks, primary reports of research, and published meta-

analyses. Another source of statistics, the one that has been most widely used and available for appli

cation to the reasoning process, is the estimation based on a provider’s experience, although these ar

fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr



ng is improving, and there is an increasing expectation that clinical reasoningbe based on scientific e

based statistics are also increasingly being used to develop resources to facilitate clinical decision-

making.

To assist in clinical decision-making, a number of evidence-
