Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The ultimate goal is for these questions to become so spontaneous in thinking that they form a natural part of our inner voice, guiding us to better reasoning. As with any skill, critical thinking can be enhanced through practice. The routine use of these questions should promote critical thought.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Relevance is focusing on facts and ideas directly related and pertinent to a topichow is this related to the question? The son-in-law's HIV status has no bearing on the patient's care. Accuracy involves representing something in a true and correct way. Depth is getting beneath the surface of the topic or problem to identify and manage related complexities, whereas breadth involves considering a topic, problem, or issue from every relevant viewpoint.
