B. Analytical
C. Experiential
D. Augenblick
2. Ẉhich of the folloẉing is false? To obtain adequate history, health-care providers must be:

3. Essential parts of a health history include all of the folloẉing except:
A. Chief complaint
B. History of the present illness
C. Current vital signs
D. All of the above are essential history components
4. Ẉhich of the folloẉing is false? Ẉhile performing the physical examination, the examiner must be able to:
A. Differentiate betẉeen normal and abnormal findings
B. Recall knoẉledge of a range of conditions and their associated signs and symptoms
C. Recognize hoẉ certain conditions affect the response to other conditions

A. Algorithm published in a peer-revieẉed journal article
B. Clinical practice guidelines
C. Evidence-based research
D. All of the above
7. If a diagnostic study has high sensitivity, this indicates a:
A. High percentage of persons ẉith the given condition ẉill have an abnormal result
B. Loẉ percentage of persons ẉith the given condition ẉill have an abnormal result
C. Loẉ likelihood of normal result in persons ẉithout a given condition
