Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
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.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3
Management of fluid and electrolytes is the priority for a client diagnosed with hypercalcemia caused by hyperparathyroidism . The client needs intensive hydration with intravenous normal saline. The nurse also needs to ensure that the client receives greater than 400 mEq of sodium chloride each day. The other answer choices are interventions appropriate for a client diagnosed with myxedema.
