Chapter 1. Assessment and Clinical Decision-Making:
OverviewMultiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
1. Which type of clinical decision-making is most reliable?

1. Intuitive
2. Analytical
3. Experiential
4. Augenblick
2. Which of the following is false? To obtain adequate history,

health-careproviders must be:

1. Methodical and systematic
2. Attentive to the patient’s verbal and nonverbal language

1. Able to accurately interpret the patient’s

responses

1. Adept at reading into the patient’s statements

3. Essential parts of a health history include all of the following except:
1. Chief complaint
2. History of the present illness
3. Current vital signs
4. All of the above are essential history components

4. Which of the following is false? While performing the

physicalexamination, the examiner must be able to:

1. Differentiate between normal and abnormal findings

1. Recall knowledge of a range of conditions and their
associated signs and symptoms
1. Recognize how certain conditions affect the response
to other conditions

1. Foresee unpredictable findings
5. The following is the least reliable source of information for

diagnosticstatistics:

1. Evidence-based investigations
2. Primary reports of research
3. Estimation based on a provider’s experience

1. Published meta-analyses


6. The following can be used to assist in sound clinical decision-making:

1. Algorithm published in a peer-reviewed journal article

1. Clinical practice guidelines
2. Evidence-based research
3. All of the above
7. If a diagnostic study has high sensitivity, this indicates a:

1. High percentage of persons with the given condition will have
an abnormal result

1. Low percentage of persons with the given condition will have
an abnormal result

1. Low likelihood of normal result in persons
without a given condition

1. None of the above
8. If a diagnostic study has high specificity, this indicates a:

1. Low percentage of healthy individuals will show a
normal result

1. High percentage of healthy individuals will show a
normal result

1. High percentage of individuals with a disorder will show
a normal result
1. Low percentage of individuals with a disorder will
show an abnormal result

9. A likelihood ratio above 1 indicates that a diagnostic test showing a:

1. Positive result is strongly associated with the disease

1. Negative result is strongly associated with absence of the
disease

1. Positive result is weakly associated with the disease

1. Negative result is weakly associated with absence of the
disease

10. Which of the following clinical reasoning tools is defined as

evidencebasedresource based on mathematical modeling to express the likelihood

of a condition in select situations, settings, and/or patients?

1. Clinical practice guideline
2. Clinical decision rule
3. Clinical algorithm
4. Clinical recommendation

Chapter 2. An Overview of Genetic Assessment
Multiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
1. The first step in the genomic assessment of a patient is

obtaininginformation regarding:

1. Family history
2. Environmental exposures
3. Lifestyle and behaviors
4. Current medications
2. An affected individual who manifests symptoms of a particular

conditionthrough whom a family with a genetic disorder is ascertained is

called a(n):
