Answer Section

MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. ANS: B
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.

PTS: 1
5. ANS: C
Sources for diagnostic statistics include textbooks, primary reports of research, and
published meta-analyses. Another source of statistics, the one that has been most widely
used and available for application to the reasoning process, is the estimation based on a
provider’s experience, although these are rarely accurate. Over the past decade, the
availability of evidence on which to base clinical reasoning is improving, and there is an
increasing expectation that clinical reasoning be based on scientific evidence. Evidence-
based statistics are also increasingly being used to develop resources to facilitate clinical
decision-making.

PTS: 1
6. ANS: D
