MULTIPLE CHOICE p x




1. ANS: B
Croskerry (2009) describes two major types of clinical diagnostic decision-
p x p x p x p x p x p x p x p x p x


making: intuitive and analytical. Intuitive decision- making (similar to Augenblink decision-
p x p x p x p x p x p x p x px p x px


making) is based on the experience and intuition of the clinician and is less reliable and paired with fairly common error
px px p x p x px px p x ym px px p x p x px px px p x p x p x p x p x


s. In contrast, analytical decision-making is based on careful consideration and has greater reliability with rare errors.

5. ANS: C
Sources for diagnostic statistics include textbooks, primary reports of research, and published meta-

analyses. Another source of statistics, the one that has been most widely used and available for application to the reasoning

process, is the estimation based on a provider’s experience, although these are rarely accurate. Over the past decade, the a

The sensitivity of a diagnostic study is the percentage of individuals with the target condition who show an abnormal, or p o

an abno rmal result.
