1. ANS: B
Croskerry (2009) describes two major types of clinical diagnostic decision-
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh


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


making) is based on the experience and intuition of the clinician and is less reliable and paired with fairly common errors. In
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh g


contrast, analytical decision-making is based on careful consideration and has greater 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 ab

ny areas of uncertainty.

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

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


analyses. Another source of statistics, the one that has been most widely used and available for application to the reasoning pro

Evidence-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-

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
