Decision making is a complex cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular course
of action. Problem solving is part of decision making and is a systematic process that focuses
on analyzing a difficult situation. Critical thinking, sometimes referred to as reflective
O
thinking, is related to evaluation and has a broader scope than decision making and problem
solving.
FD
2. What
1. A) Its need for implementation time
2. B) Its lack of a step requiring evaluation of results
O
3. C) Its failure to gather sufficient data
4. D) Its failure to evaluate alternatives
C
Ans: A
Feedback:
The traditional problem-solving model is less effective when time constraints are a
consideration. Decision making can occur without the full analysis required in problem
solving. Because problem solving attempts to identify the root problem in situations, much
time and energy are spent on identifying the real problem.
3. Which of the following statements is true regarding decision making?
1. A) Scientific methods provide identical decisions by different individuals for the
same problems
