MULTIPLE QUESTIONS
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
ANSWER: C
Assessment:
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 as
reflective 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
ANSWER: A
Assessment:
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 solving 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
ANSWER: B
Assessment:
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
ANSWER: C
Assessment:
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
ANSWER: B
Assessment:
Good decision makers seem to have antennae that make them particularly sensitive to
other people and situations. Left-brain thinkers are typically better at processing
language, logic, numbers, and sequential ordering, whereas right-brain thinkers excel at
nonverbal ideation and holistic synthesizing.
6. What is the best definition of decision making?
A) The planning process of management
B) The evaluation phase of the executive role
C) One step in the problem-solving process
D) Required to justify the need for scarce items
ANSWER: C
Assessment:
Decision making is a complex, cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular
course of action. Decision making, one step in the problem-solving process, is an
important task that relies heavily on critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills.
