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

/i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i
ableto accurately interpret the patient‘s responses to questions. Rather than reading into the patient‘s statements, they clarify

any areas of uncertainty.

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

The sensitivity of a diagnostic study is the percentage of individuals with the target condition who show an abnormal, or
/i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i
positive,result. A high sensitivity indicates that a greater percentage of persons with the given condition will have an abnormal
/i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i
result.
/i
PTS: 1
8. ANS: B
The specificity of a diagnostic study is the percentage of normal, healthy individuals who have a normal result. The greater
/i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i
thespecificity, the greater the percentage of individuals who will have negative, or normal, results if they do not have the

target condition.

9. ANS: A
The likelihood ratio is the probability that a positive test result will be associated with a person who has the target condition and
/i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i
anegative result will be associated with a healthy person. A likelihood ratio above 1 indicates that a positive result is associated
/i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i
with the disease; a likelihood ratio less than 1 indicates that a negative result is associated with an absence of the disease.

Clinical decision (or prediction) rules provide another support for clinical reasoning. Clinical decision rules are evidence-
/i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i
basedresources that provide probabilistic statements regarding the likelihood that a condition exists if certain variables are met
/i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i
with regard to the prognosis of patients with specific findings. Decision rules use mathematical models and are specific to
/i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i /i
certain situations, settings, and/or patient characteristics.
