, Chapter 1 Decision Making, Problem Solving, Critical Thinking, and Clinical Reasoning:
Requisites for successful leadership and management
1. What statement is true regarding decision making?
A) It is an analysis of a situation
B) It is closely related to evaluation
C) It involves choosing between courses of action
D) It is dependent upon finding the cause of a problem Correct Answer: C
Feedback:
Decision making is a complex cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular course of
action. Problem solving is part of decision making and is a systematic process that focuses on
analyzing a difficult situation. Critical thinking, sometimes referred to as reflective thinking, is related
to evaluation and has a broader scope than decision making and problem solving.
2. What
1. A) Its need for implementation time
2. B) Its lack of a step requiring evaluation of results
3. C) Its failure to gather sufficient data
4. D) Its failure to evaluate alternatives
Correct Answer: A
Feedback:
The traditional problem-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
solving attempts to identify the root problem in situations, much time and energy are spent on
identifying the real problem.
3. Which of the following statements is true regarding decision making?
A) Scientific methods provide identical decisions by different individuals for the same problems
B) Decisions are greatly influenced by each persons value system
C) Personal beliefs can be adjusted for when the scientific approach to problem solving is used
