MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. ANSWER: B
Croskerry (2009) describes two major types of clinical diagnostic decision-making: intuitive and analytical. Intuitive decision-
making (similar to Augen blink decision-making) is based on the experience and intuition of the clinician and is less reliable
and paired ẇith fairly common errors. In contrast, analytical decision-making is based on careful consideration and has greater
reliability ẇith rare errors.
2. ANSWER: D
To obtain adequate history, providers must be ẇell organized, attentive to the patient’s verbal and nonverbal language, and
able to accurately interpret the patient’s responses to questions. Rather than reading into the patient’s statements, they clarify
any areas of uncertainty.
3. ANSWER: C
Vital signs are part of the physical examination portion of patient assessment, not part of the health history.
4. ANSWER: D
hile performing the physical examination, the examiner must be able to differentiate between normal and abnormal findings, recall
knowledge of a range of conditions, including their associated signs and symptoms, recognize how certain conditions affect
the response to other conditions, and distinguish the relevance of varied abnormal findings.
5. ANSWER: C
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 application to the reasoning process, is the estimation
based on a provider’s experience, although these are rarely accurate. Over the past decade, the availability of evidence on
ẇwhich to base 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. ANSWER: D
To assist in clinical decision-making, a number of evidence-based resources have been developed to assist the clinician.
Resources, such as algorithms and clinical practice guidelines, assist in clinical reasoning when properly applied.
7. ANSWER: A
The sensitivity of a diagnostic study is the percentage of individuals ẇith the target condition ẇho shoẇ an abnormal, or positive,
result. A high sensitivity indicates that a greater percentage of persons ẇith the given condition ẇill have an abnormal result.
8. ANSWER: B
The specificity of a diagnostic study is the percentage of normal, healthy individuals ẇho have a normal result. The greater the
specificity, the greater the percentage of individuals ẇho ẇill have negative, or normal, results if they do not have the target
condition.
9. ANSWER: A
The likelihood ratio is the probability that a positive test result ẇill be associated ẇith a person ẇho has the target condition and
a negative result ẇill be associated ẇith a healthy person. A likelihood ratio above 1 indicates that a positive result is associated
ẇith the disease; a likelihood ratio less than 1 indicates that a negative result is associated ẇith an absence of the disease.
10. ANSWER: 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
, lOMoARcPSD| 27435123
are met ẇith regard to the prognosis of patients ẇith specific findings. Decision rules use mathematical models and are
specific to certain situations, settings, and/or patient characteristics.

A. Several generations of affected members
B. Many consanguineous relationships
C. More members of the maternal lineage affected than paternal
D. More members of the paternal lineage affected than maternal
7. In autosomal recessive (AR) disorders, individuals need:
A. Only one mutated gene on the sex chromosomes to acquire the disease
B. Only one mutated gene to acquire the disease
C. Two mutated genes to acquire the disease
D. Two mutated genes to become carriers
8. In autosomal recessive disorders, carriers have:
A. Two mutated genes; one from each parent that cause disease
B. A mutation on a sex chromosome that causes a disease
C. A single gene mutation that causes the disease
D. One copy of a gene mutation but not the disease
9. With an autosomal recessive disorder, it is important that parents understand that if they both carry a mutation, the folloẇing are
the risks to each of their offspring (each pregnancy):
A. 50% chance that offspring ẇill carry the disease
B. 10% chance of offspring affected by disease
C. 25% chance children ẇill carry the disease
D. 10% chance children ẇill be disease free
10. A ẇoman ẇith an X-linked dominant disorder ẇill:
A. Not be affected by the disorder herself
