A) It is an analysis of a situation

B) It is closely related to evaluation
TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ




C) It involves choosing between courses of action
TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ




D) It is dependent upon finding the cause of a problem

ACCURATE ANSWER:-C

REASONING:-

a difficult situation. Critical thinking, sometimes referred to as reflective thinking, is related toevaluatio

2. What is a weakness of the traditional problem-solving model?
TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ




1. A) Its need for implementation time
TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ




2. B) Its lack of a step requiring evaluation of results
TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ




3. C) Its failure to gather sufficient data
TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ




4. D) Its failure to evaluate alternatives

ACCURATE ANSWER:-A TZ




Reasoning:->>The traditional problem- TZ TZ



solving model is less effective when time constraints are a consideration. Decision making can occur

without the full analysis required in problem solving. Because problem-

3. Which of the following statements is true regarding decision making?
TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ



1. A) Scientific methods provide identical decisions by different individuals for the same problems

2. B) Decisions are greatly influenced by each person’s value system

3. C) Personal beliefs can be adjusted for when the scientific approach to problem solving is used

4. D) Past experience has little to do with the quality of the decision

5. What does knowledge about good decision making lead one to believe?
TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ TZ




1. A) Good decision makers are usually right-brain, intuitive thinkers

2. B) Effective decision makers are sensitive to the situation and to others

3. C) Good decisions are usually made by left-brain, logical thinkers

4. D) Good decision making requires analytical rather than creative process
