MULTIPLE CHOICEn




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




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




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




reliability with rare errors.

2. ANS: D
To obtain adequate history, providers must be well organized, attentive to the patient’s verbal and nonverbal language, and able to
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




accurately interpret the patient’s responses to questions. Rather than reading into the patient’s statements, they clarify any areas of
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




uncertainty.

3. ANS: C
Vital signs are part of the physical examination portion of patient assessment, not part of the health history.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




PTS: 1
4. ANS: D
While performing the physical examination, the examiner must be able to differentiate between normal and abnormal findings, recall
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




knowledge of a range of conditions, including their associated signs and symptoms, recognize how certain conditions affect the
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




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

5. ANS: C
Sources for diagnostic statistics include textbooks, primary reports of research, and published meta-analyses. Another source of
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




statistics, the one that has been most widelyused and available for application to the reasoning process, is the estimation based on a
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




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




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

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

6. ANS: D
To assist in clinical decision-making, a number of evidence-based resources have been developed to assist the clinician. Resources,
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




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

7. ANS: A
The sensitivity of a diagnostic study is the percentage of individuals with the target condition who show an abnormal, or positive,
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




result. Ahigh sensitivity indicates that a greater percentage of persons with the given condition will have an abnormal result.

PTS: 1
8. ANS: B
The specificity of a diagnostic study is the percentage of normal, healthy individuals who have a normal result. The greater the
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




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




condition.

9. ANS: A
The likelihood ratio is the probability that a positive test result will be associated with a person who has the target condition and a
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




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




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

10. ANS: B
Clinical decision (or prediction) rules provide another support for clinical reasoning. Clinical decision rules are evidence-based

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




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

situations, settings, and/or patient characteristics.
