A. Intuitive
B. Analytical
C. Experiential
D. Augenblick
f5 2. Which f5of f5the f5following f5is f5false? f5To f5obtain f5adequate f5history, f5health-care f5providers f5must f5be:
A. Methodical f5and f5systematic
B. Attentive f5to f5the f5patient’s f5verbal f5and f5nonverbal
f5language
C. Able f5to f5accurately f5interpret f5the f5patient’s f5responses
D. Adept f5at f5reading f5into f5the f5patient’s f5statements
f5 3. Essential f5parts f5of f5a f5health f5history f5include f5all f5of f5the f5following f5except:
A. Chief f5complaint
B. History f5of f5the f5present f5illness
C. Current f5vital f5signs
D. All f5of f5the f5above f5are f5essential f5history
f5components
f5 4. Which f5of f5the f5following f5is f5false? f5While f5performing f5the f5physical f5examination, f5the f5examiner f5must f5be f5able f5to:
A. Differentiate f5between f5normal f5and f5abnormal f5findings
B. Recall f5knowledge f5of f5a f5range f5of f5conditions f5and f5their f5associated f5signs f5and
f5symptoms
C. Recognize f5how f5certain f5conditions f5affect f5the f5response f5to f5other f5conditions
D. Foresee f5unpredictable f5findings
f5 5. The f5following f5is f5the f5least f5reliable f5source f5of f5information f5for f5diagnostic f5statistics:
A. Evidence-based f5investigations
B. Primary f5reports f5of f5research

f5experience
, D. Published f5meta-analyses
f5 6. The f5following f5can f5be f5used f5to f5assist f5in f5sound f5clinical f5decision-making:

C. Evidence-based f5research
D. All f5of f5the f5above
f5 7. If f5a f5diagnostic f5study f5has f5high f5sensitivity, f5 this f5indicates f5a:
A. High f5percentage f5of f5persons f5with f5the f5given f5condition f5will f5have f5an
f5abnormal f5result
B. Low f5percentage f5of f5persons f5with f5the f5given f5condition f5will f5have f5an
f5abnormal f5result
C. Low f5likelihood f5of f5normal f5result f5in f5persons f5without f5a f5given f5condition
D. None f5of f5the f5above
f5 8. If f5a f5diagnostic f5study f5has f5high f5specificity, f5 this f5indicates f5a:
A. Low f5percentage f5of f5healthy f5individuals f5will f5show f5a f5normal f5result
B. High f5percentage f5of f5healthy f5individuals f5will f5show f5a f5normal f5result
C. High f5percentage f5of f5individuals f5with f5a f5disorder f5will f5show f5a f5normal
f5result
D. Low f5percentage f5of f5individuals f5with f5a f5disorder f5will f5show f5an
f5abnormal f5result
f5 9. A f5likelihood f5ratio f5above f51 f5indicates f5that f5a f5diagnostic f5test f5showing f5a:
A. Positive f5result f5is f5strongly f5associated f5with f5the f5disease
B. Negative f5result f5is f5strongly f5associated f5with f5absence f5of f5the
f5disease
C. Positive f5result f5is f5weakly f5associated f5with f5the f5disease
D. Negative f5result f5is f5weakly f5associated f5with f5absence f5of f5the
f5disease
