MULTIPLE CHOICE ym




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


making: intuitive and analytical. Intuitive decision- making (similar to Augenblink decision-
ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym


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


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

2. ANS: D
To obtain adequate history, providers must be well organized, attentive to the patient’s verbal and nonverbal language, and
ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym


able to accurately interpret the patient’s responses to questions. Rather than reading into the patient’s statements, they
ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym


clarify any areas of uncertainty.

PTS: 1
3. ANS: C
Vital signs are part of the physical examination portion of patient assessment, not part of the health history.
ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym




PTS: 1
4. ANS: D
While performing the physical examination, the examiner must be able to differentiate between normal and abnormal find

ings, recall knowledge of a range of conditions, including their associated signs and symptoms, recognize how certain cond

PTS: 1
5. ANS: C
Sources for diagnostic statistics include textbooks, primary reports of research, and published meta-
ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym


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


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


mavailability of evidence on which to base clinical reasoning is improving, and there is an increasing expectation that cl
ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym y m ym ym ym ym ym ym ym


inical reasoning be based on scientific evidence.
ym ym ym ym ym ym


Evidence-based statistics are also increasingly being used to develop resources to facilitate clinical decision-making.
ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym

6. ANS: D
To assist in clinical decision-making, a number of evidence-
ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym


based resources have been developed to assist the clinician. Resources, such as algorithms and clinical practice guidelines
ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym


, assist in clinical reasoning when properly applied.

7. ANS: A
The sensitivity of a diagnostic study is the percentage of individuals with the target condition who show an abnormal, or p

8. ANS: B
The specificity of a diagnostic study is the percentage of normal, healthy individuals who have a normal result. The grea

9. ANS: A
The likelihood ratio is the probability that a positive test result will be associated with a person who has the target conditi
ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym


on and a negative result will be associated with a healthy person. A likelihood ratio above 1 indicates that a positive res
ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym


ult is associated with the disease; a likelihood ratio less than 1 indicates that a negative result is associated with an absen
ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym


ce of the disease.

PTS: 1
10. ANS: B
Clinical decision (or prediction) rules provide another support for clinical reasoning. Clinical decision rules are evidence-
ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym


based resources that provide probabilistic statements regarding the likelihood that a condition exists if certain variables
ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym


are met with regard to the prognosis of patients with specific findings. Decision rules use mathematical models and are
ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym ym y


mspecific to certain situations, settings, and/or patient characteristics.
