ANSWER SECTION
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. ANS: B
CROSKERRY (2009) DESCRIBES TWO MAJOR TYPES OF CLINICAL DIAGNOSTIC DECISION-MAKING:
INTUITIVE AND ANALYTICAL. INTUITIVE DECISION- MAKING (SIMILAR TO AUGENBLINK DECISION-
MAKING) IS BASED ON THE EXPERIENCE AND INTUITION OF THE CLINICIAN AND IS LESS RELIABLE
ANDPAIRED WITH FAIRLY COMMON ERRORS. IN CONTRAST, ANALYTICAL DECISION-MAKING IS BASED
ON CAREFUL CONSIDERATION AND HAS GREATER RELIABILITY WITH RARE ERRORS.
PTS: 1
2. ANS: D
TO OBTAIN ADEQUATE HISTORY, PROVIDERS MUST BE WELL ORGANIZED, ATTENTIVE TO THE PATIENT’S
VERBAL AND NONVERBAL LANGUAGE, AND ABLETO ACCURATELY INTERPRET THE PATIENT’S
RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS. RATHER THAN READING INTO THE PATIENT’S STATEMENTS, THEY CLARIFY
ANY AREAS OF UNCERTAINTY.
PTS: 1
3. ANS: C
VITAL SIGNS ARE PART OF THE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION PORTION OF PATIENT ASSESSMENT, NOT PART OF THE HEALTH
HISTORY.
PTS: 1
4. ANS: D
WHILE PERFORMING THE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION, THE EXAMINER MUST BE ABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE
BETWEEN NORMAL AND ABNORMAL FINDINGS, RECALL KNOWLEDGE OF A RANGE OF CONDITIONS,
INCLUDING THEIR ASSOCIATED SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS, RECOGNIZE HOW CERTAIN CONDITIONS
AFFECTTHE RESPONSE TO OTHER CONDITIONS, AND DISTINGUISH THE RELEVANCE OF VARIED
ABNORMAL FINDINGS.
PTS: 1
5. ANS: C
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 FOR APPLICATION TO THE REASONING 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 EXPECTATION THAT CLINICAL REASONING BE BASED ON SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
EVIDENCE-BASED STATISTICS ARE ALSO INCREASINGLY BEING USED TO DEVELOP RESOURCES TO FACILITATE CLINICAL
DECISION-MAKING.
PTS: 1
6. ANS: D
TO ASSIST IN CLINICAL DECISION-MAKING, A NUMBER OF EVIDENCE-BASED RESOURCES HAVE
BEEN DEVELOPED TO ASSIST THE CLINICIAN.RESOURCES, SUCH AS ALGORITHMS AND CLINICAL
PRACTICE GUIDELINES, ASSIST IN CLINICAL REASONING WHEN PROPERLY APPLIED.
PTS: 1
7. ANS: A
THE SENSITIVITY OF A DIAGNOSTIC STUDY IS THE PERCENTAGE OF INDIVIDUALS WITH THE TARGET
CONDITION WHO SHOW AN ABNORMAL, OR POSITIVE,RESULT. A HIGH SENSITIVITY INDICATES THAT A
GREATER PERCENTAGE OF PERSONS WITH THE GIVEN CONDITION WILL HAVE AN ABNORMAL RESULT.
PTS: 1
8. ANS: B
THE SPECIFICITY OF A DIAGNOSTIC STUDY IS THE PERCENTAGE OF NORMAL, HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS
WHO HAVE A NORMAL RESULT. THE GREATER THESPECIFICITY, THE GREATER THE PERCENTAGE OF
INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL HAVE NEGATIVE, OR NORMAL, RESULTS IF THEY DO NOT HAVE THE TARGET
CONDITION.
