MULTIPLE CHOICE pn




1. ANS: B p n



Croskerry (2009) describes two major types of clinical diagnostic decision-
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



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



making) is based on the experience and intuition of the clinician and is less reliable and paired
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



with fairly common errors. In contrast, analytical decision-
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



making is based on careful consideration and has greater reliabilitywith rare errors.

PTS: 1
4. ANS: D p n



While performing the physical examination, the examiner must be able to differentiate between

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 fo
