Chapter 1: Decision Making, Problem Solving, Critical Thinking, and Clinical Reasoning: Requisites
for successful leadership and management
1. What statement is true regarding decision making?
A) It is an analysis of a situation
B) It is closely related to evaluation
C) It involves choosing between courses of action
D) It is dependent upon finding the cause of a
problem
Ans: C
Feedback:
Decision making is a complex cognitive process often defined as choosing
a particular course of action. Problem solving is part of decision making
and is a systematic process that focuses on analyzing a difficult situation.
Critical thinking, sometimes referred to asreflective thinking, is related to
evaluation and has a broader scope than decision making and problem
solving.

2. What is a weakness of the traditional problem-solving model?
A) Its need for implementation time
B) Its lack of a step requiring evaluation of results
C) Its failure to gather sufficient data
D) Its failure to evaluate
alternatives
Ans: A
Feedback:
The traditional problem-solving model is less effective when time
constraints are a consideration. Decision making can occur without the
full analysis required in problem solving. Because problem solNving
attempts to identify the root problem in situations, much time and energy
are spent on identifying the real problem.

3. Which of the following statements is true regarding decision making?
A) Scientific methods provide identical decisions by different
individuals for the same problems
B) Decisions are greatly influenced by each person's value system
C) Personal beliefs can be adjusted for when the scientific approach
to problem solving is used
D) Past experience has little to do with the quality of the
decision

, Ans: B
Feedback:
Values, life experience, individual preference, and individual ways of
thinking will influence a person's decision making. No matter how
objective the criteria will be, value judgments will always play a part in a
Person’s decision making, either consciously or subconsciously.
4. What influences the quality of a decision most often?
A) The decision maker's immediate superior
B) The type of decision that needs to be made
C) Questions asked and alternatives generated
D) The time of day the decision is
made
Ans: C
Feedback:
The greater the number of alternatives that can be generated by the
decision maker, the better the final decision will be. The alternatives
generated and the final choices are limited by each person's value system.

5. What does knowledge about good decision making lead one to believe?
A) Good decision makers are usually right-brain, intuitive thinkers
B) Effective decision makers are sensitive to the situation and to others
C) Good decisions are usually made by left-brain, logical thinkers
D) Good decision making requires analytical rather than creative
processes
