MULTIPLE QUESTIONS

1. What statement is true regarding decision making?
t t t t t t
A) It is an analysis of a situation
t t t t t t
B) It is closely related to evaluation
t t t t t
C) It involves choosing between courses of action
t t t t t t
D) It is dependent upon finding the cause of a problem
t t t t t t t t t
ANSWER: C
t t
Assessment:
Decision making is a complex cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular
t t t t t t t t t t t t
course of action. Problem solving is part of decision making and is a systematic process
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
that focuses on analyzing a difficult situation. Critical thinking, sometimes referred to as
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
reflective thinking, is related to evaluation and has a broader scope than decision making
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
and problem solving.
t t t
2. What is a weakness of the traditional problem-solving model?
t t t t t t t t
A) Its need for implementation time
t t t t
B) Its lack of a step requiring evaluation of results
t t t t t t t t
C) Its failure to gather sufficient data
t t t t t
D) Its failure to evaluate alternatives
t t t t
ANSWER: A
t t
Assessment:
The traditional problem-solving model is less effective when time constraints are a
t t t t t t t t t t t
consideration. Decision making can occur without the full analysis required in problem
t t t t t t t t t t t t
solving. Because problem solving attempts to identify the root problem in situations,
t t t t t t t t t t t t
much time and energy are spent on identifying the real problem.
t t t t t t t t t t t
3. Which of the following statements is true regarding decision making?
t t t t t t t t t
A) Scientific methods provide identical decisions by different individuals for the t t t t t t t t t
same problems
t t
B) Decisions are greatly influenced by each person's value system t t t t t t t t
C) Personal beliefs can be adjusted for when the scientific approach to problem
t t t t t t t t t t t
solving is used
t t t
D) Past experience has little to do with the quality of the decision
t t t t t t t t t t t
ANSWER: B
t t
Assessment:
Values, life experience, individual preference, and individual ways of thinking will
t t t t t t t t t t
influence a person's decision making. No matter how objective the criteria will be, value
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
judgments will always play a part in a person's decision making, either consciously or
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
subconsciously.

4. What influences the quality of a decision most often?
t t t t t t t t
A) The decision maker's immediate superior
t t t t
B) The type of decision that needs to be made
t t t t t t t t
C) Questions asked and alternatives generated t t t t
D) The time of day the decision is made
t t t t t t t
ANSWER: C
t t
Assessment:
The greater the number of alternatives that can be generated by the decision maker, the
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
better the final decision will be. The alternatives generated and the final choices are
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
limited by each person's value system.
t t t t t t
5. What does knowledge about good decision-making lead one to believe?
t t t t t t t t t
A) Good decision makers are usually right-brain, intuitive thinkers
t t t t t t t
B) Effective decision makers are sensitive to the situation and to others
t t t t t t t t t t
C) Good decisions are usually made by left-brain, logical thinkers
t t t t t t t t
D) Good decision making requires analytical rather than creative processes
t t t t t t t t
ANSWER: B
t t
Assessment:
Good decision makers seem to have antennae that make them particularly sensitive to
t t t t t t t t t t t t
other people and situations. Left-brain thinkers are typically better at processing
t t t t t t t t t t t
language, logic, numbers, and sequential ordering, whereas right-brain thinkers excel at
t t t t t t t t t t t
nonverbal ideation and holistic synthesizing.
t t t t t
6. What is the best definition of decision making?
t t t t t t t
A) The planning process of management
t t t t
B) The evaluation phase of the executive role
t t t t t t
C) One step in the problem-solving process
t t t t t
D) Required to justify the need for scarce items t t t t t t t
ANSWER: C
t t
Assessment:
Decision making is a complex, cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular
t t t t t t t t t t t t
course of action. Decision making, one step in the problem-solving process, is an
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
important task that relies heavily on critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills.
