MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. ANS: B j i
Croskerry (2009) describes two major types of clinical diagnostic decision-making: intuitive and
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
analytical. Intuitive decision-making (similar to Augenblink decision-making) is based on the
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
experience and intuition of the clinician and is less reliable and paired with fairly common errors.
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
In contrast, analytical decision-making is based on careful consideration and has greater
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
reliabilitywith rare errors.

2. ANS: D j i
To obtain adequate history, providers must be well organized, attentive to the patient’s verbal
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
andnonverbal language, and able to accurately interpret the patient’s responses to questions. Rather
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
than reading into the patient’s statements, they clarify any areas of uncertainty.
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
PTS: 1
3. ANS: C j i
Vital signs are part of the physical examination portion of patient assessment, not part of the
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
healthhistory.
ji ji
PTS: 1
4. ANS: D j i
While performing the physical examination, the examiner must be able to differentiate
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
betweennormal and abnormal findings, recall knowledge of a range of conditions, including their
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
associated signs and symptoms, recognize how certain conditions affect the response to other
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
conditions, and distinguish the relevance of varied abnormal findings.
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
PTS: 1
5. ANS: C j i
Sources for diagnostic statistics include textbooks, primary reports of research, and published
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
meta-analyses. Another source of statistics, the one that has been most widely used and available
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
for application to the reasoning process, is the estimation based on a provider’s experience,
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
although these are rarely accurate. Over the past decade, the availability of evidence on which to
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
base clinical reasoning is improving, and there is an increasing expectation that clinical
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
reasoningbe based on scientific evidence. Evidence-based statistics are also increasingly being
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
used to develop resources to facilitate clinical decision-making.
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
PTS: 1
6. ANS: D j i
To assist in clinical decision-making, a number of evidence-based resources have been developedto
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
assist the clinician. Resources, such as algorithms and clinical practice guidelines, assist in clinical
ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji
reasoning when properly applied.
