1. Which type of clinical decision making is most reliable?
A. Analytical I

C. Experiential
abirb.com/test
D. Intuitive
ANS: A abirb.com/test
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
abirb.com/test
common errors. In contrast, analytical decision making is based on careful consideration and
has greater reliability with rare errors.

used and available for application to the reasoning process, is the estimation based on a
abirb.com/test

increasing expectation that clinical reasoning be based on scientific evidence.

clinical decision making.
