MULTIPLE CHOICE



1. ANS: B

, Created By: A Solution


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 and paired 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 able to 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 affect the response to other

conditions, and distinguish the relevance of varied abnormal findings.
