MULTIPLE CHOICE



1. Which type of clinical decision making is most reliable?
A. Analytical I
B. Augenblink
C. Experiential
D. Intuitive


ANS: A
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 reliabil-
ity with rare errors.

PTS: 1

C. How has your pain changed since you first noticed it?
