MULTIPLE CHOICE ss
1. ANS: B
Croskerry (2009) describes two major types of clinical diagnostic decision-
ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
making: intuitive and analytical. Intuitive decision- making (similar to Augenblink decision-
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
making) is based on the experience and intuition of the clinician and is less reliable and paired with fairly common errors
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s ss s s s s ss s s
. In contrast, analytical decision-making is based on careful consideration and has greater reliability with rare errors.

Sources for diagnostic statistics include textbooks, primary reports of research, and published meta-

analyses. Another source of statistics, the one that has been most widelyDused and available for application to the reason

ing process, is the estimation based on a provider‘s experience, although these are rarely accurate. Over the past

decade, the availability of evidence on which to base clinical reasoning is improving, and there is an increasing expect
