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

To obtain adequate history, providers must be well o rganized, attentive to the patient’s verbal andn
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi
onverbal language, and able to accurately interpret the patient’s responses to questions. Rather t
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi
han reading into the patient’s statements, they clarify any areas of uncertainty.

4. ANS: D f i
While performing the physical examination, the examiner must be able to differentiate between no

rmal and abnormal findings, recall knowledge of a range of conditions, including their associated si
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi
gns and symptoms, recognize how certain conditions affect the response to other conditions, and
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi
distinguish the relevance of varied abnormal findings. fi fi fi fi fi fi

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

To assist in clinical decision-making, a number of evidence-
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi
based resources have been developedto assist the clinician. Resources, such as algorithms and clini
fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fi
cal practice guidelines, assist in clinical reasoning when properly applied.
