MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which type of clinical decision making is most reliable?
A. Analytical I
B. Augenblink
C. Experiential
D. Intuitive
ANS: A
Croskerry (2009) describes two major types of clinical diagnostic decision making: intuitive and analytical. Intuitive decision making (similar to Augenblink decision making) is based on the experience and intuition of the clinician and is less reliable and paired with fairly common errors. In contrast, analytical decision making is based on careful consideration and has greater reliability with rare errors.
