MULTIPLE CHOICE P




1. ACCURATE ANSWER:->: B P


Croskerry (2009) describes two major types of clinical diagnostic decision-making: intuitive and analytical. Intuitive decision- making
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


(similar to Augenblink decision-making) is based on the experience and intuition of the clinician and is less reliable andpaired
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


with fairly common errors. In contrast, analytical decision-making is based on careful consideration and has greater reliability
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


with rare errors.

POINTS: 1
2. ACCURATE ANSWER:->: D P


To obtain adequate history, providers must be well organized, attentive to the patient’s verbal and nonverbal language, and
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


ableto accurately interpret the patient’s responses to questions. Rather than reading into the patient’s statements, they clarify
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


any areas of uncertainty.

3. ACCURATE ANSWER:->: C P


Vital signs are part of the physical examination portion of patient assessment, not part of the health history.
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P




POINTS: 1
4. ACCURATE ANSWER:->: D P


While performing the physical examination, the examiner must be able to differentiate between normal and abnormal findings, recall
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


knowledge of a range of conditions, including their associated signs and symptoms, recognize how certain conditions affectthe
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


response to other conditions, and distinguish the relevance of varied abnormal findings.
P P P P P P P P P P P P




POINTS: 1
5. ACCURATE ANSWER:->: C P


Sources for diagnostic statistics include textbooks, primary reports of research, and published meta-analyses. Another source of
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


statistics, the one that has been most widelyused and available for application to the reasoning process, is the estimation based ona
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


provider’s experience, although these are rarely accurate. Over the past decade, the availability of evidence on which to base clinical
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


reasoning is improving, and there is an increasing expectation that clinical reasoning be based on scientific evidence.

Evidence-based statistics are alsoincreasinglybeing used to develop resources to facilitate clinical decision-making.

To assist in clinical decision-making, a number of evidence-based resources have been developed to assist the clinician.
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


Resources, such as algorithms and clinical practice guidelines, assist in clinical reasoning when properly applied.

7. ACCURATE ANSWER:->: A P


The sensitivity of a diagnostic study is the percentage of individuals with the target condition who show an abnormal, or
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


positive,result. A high sensitivity indicates that a greater percentage of persons with the given condition will have an abnormal result.
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P




POINTS: 1
8. ACCURATE ANSWER:->: B P


The specificity of a diagnostic study is the percentage of normal, healthy individuals who have a normal result. The greater
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


the specificity, the greater the percentage of individuals who will have negative, or normal, results if they do not have the
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


target condition.

9. ACCURATE ANSWER:->: A P


The likelihood ratio is the probability that a positive test result will be associated with a person who has the target condition
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


and a negative result will be associated with a healthy person. A likelihood ratio above 1 indicates that a positive result is associated
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


with the sickness; a likelihood ratio less than 1 indicates that a negative result is associated with an absence of the sickness.

Clinical decision (or prediction) rules provide another support for clinical reasoning. Clinical decision rules are evidence-based
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


resources that provide probabilistic statements regarding the likelihood that a condition exists if certain variables are met with
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


regard to the prognosis of patients with specific findings. Decision rules use mathematical models and are specific to
P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P


certain situations, settings, and/or patient characteristics.
