1. What statement is true regarding decision making?
67 67 67 67 67 67
A) It is an analysis of a situation
67 67 67 67 67 67
B) It is closely related to evaluation
67 67 67 67 67
C) It involves choosing between courses of action
67 67 67 67 67 67
D) It is dependent upon finding the cause of a problem

Decision making is a complex cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular course
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67
of action. Problem solving is part of decision making and is a systematic process that focuses
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67
on analyzing a difficult situation. Critical thinking, sometimes referred to as reflective
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67
67 thinking, is related to evaluation and has a broader scope than decision making and problem
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67
67 solving.
2. What
1. A) Its need for implementation time
67 67 67 67 67
2. B) Its lack of a step requiring evaluation of results
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67
3. C) Its failure to gather sufficient data
67 67 67 67 67 67
4. D) Its failure to evaluate alternatives

:
The traditional problem-solving model is less effective when time constraints are a
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67
67 consideration. Decision making can occur without the full analysis required in problem
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67
67 solving. Because problem solving attempts to identify the root problem in situations, much
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67
time and energy are spent on identifying the real problem.

3. Which of the following statements is true regarding decision making?
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67
1. A) Scientific methods provide identical decisions by different individuals for the
67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67 67
same problems
