Chapter 01: Decision Making, Problem Solving, Critical Thinking, and Clinical Reasoning: Requisites
for Successful Leadership and Management,

11th Edition<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. What statement is true regarding decision making?
    A) It is an analysis of a situation
    B) It is closely related to evaluation
    C) It involves choosing between courses of action
    D) It is dependent upon finding the cause of a problem
    Ans: C
    Feedback:
    Decision making is a complex cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular course
    of action. Problem solving is part of decision making and is a systematic process that focuses
    on analyzing a difficult situation. Critical thinking, sometimes referred to as reflective
    thinking, is related to evaluation and has a broader scope than decision making and problem
    solving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. What is a weakness of the traditional problem-solving model?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. A) Its need for implementation time<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. B) Its lack of a step requiring evaluation of results<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. C) Its failure to gather sufficient data<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. D) Its failure to evaluate alternatives
    Ans: A
    Feedback:
    The traditional problem-solving model is less effective when time constraints are a
    consideration. Decision making can occur without the full analysis required in problem
    solving. Because problem solving attempts to identify the root problem in situations, much
    time and energy are spent on identifying the real problem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Which of the following statements is true regarding decision making?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. A) Scientific methods provide identical decisions by different individuals for the
    same problems<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. B) Decisions are greatly influenced by each persons value system<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. C) Personal beliefs can be adjusted for when the scientific approach to problem
    solving is used<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. D) Past experience has little to do with the quality of the decision
    Ans: B
    Feedback:
    Values, life experience, individual preference, and individual ways of thinking will influence
    a persons decision making. No matter how objective the criteria will be, value judgments will
    always play a part in a persons decision making, either consciously or subconsciously.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. What influences the quality of a decision most often?
    A) The decision maker\u2019s immediatesuperior
    B) The type of decision that needs to be made
    C) Questions asked and alternatives
    generated
    D) The time of day the decision is made
    Ans: C
    Feedback:
    The greater the number of alternatives that can be generated by the decision maker, the better
    the final decision will be. The alternatives generated and the final choices are limited by each
    persons value system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. What does knowledge about good decision making lead one to believe?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  14. A) Good decision makers are usually right-brain, intuitive thinkers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  15. B) Effective decision makers are sensitive to the situation and to others<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  16. C) Good decisions are usually made by left-brain, logical thinkers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  17. D) Good decision making requires analytical rather than creative processes<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Ans: B
    Feedback:
    Good decision makers seem to have antennae that make them particularly sensitive to other
    people and situations. Left-brain thinkers are typically better at processing language, logic,
    numbers, and sequential ordering, whereas right-brain thinkers excel at nonverbal ideation
    and holistic synthesizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. What is the best definition of decision making?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. A) The planning process of management<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. B) The evaluation phase of the executive role<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. C) One step in the problem-solving process<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. D) Required to justify the need for scarce items
      Ans: C
      Feedback:
      Decision making is a complex, cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular
      course of action. Decision making, one step in the problem-solving process, is an important
      task that relies heavily on critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. If decision making is triggered by a problem with what does it end?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    7. A) An alternative problem<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    8. B) A chosen course of action<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    9. C) An action that guarantees success<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    10. D) A restatement of the solution
      Ans: B
      Feedback:
      A decision is made when a course of action has been chosen. Problem solving is part of
      decision making and is a systematic process that focuses on analyzing a difficult situation.
      Problem solving always includes a decision-making step.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    11. Whydo our values often cause personal conflict in decision making?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    12. A) Some values are not realistic or healthy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    13. B) Not all values are of equal worth<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    14. C) Our values remain unchanged over time<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    15. D) Our values often collide with one another
      Ans: D
      Feedback:
      Values, life experience, individual preference, and individual ways of thinking will influence
      a persons decision making. No matter how objective the criteria will be, value judgments will
      always play a part in a persons decision making, either consciously or subconsciously.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    16. Which statement is true concerning critical thinking?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    17. A) It is a simple approach to decision making<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    18. B) It is narrower in scope than decision making<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    19. C) It requires reasoning and creative analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    20. D) It is a synonym for the problem-solving process
      Ans: C
      Feedback:
      Critical thinking has a broader scope than decision making and problem solving. It is
      sometimes referred to as reflective thinking. Critical thinking also involves reflecting upon
      the meaning of statements, examining the offered evidence and reasoning, and forming
      judgments about facts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    21. How do administrative man managers make the majority of their decisions?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    22. A) After gathering all the facts<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    23. B) In a manner good enough to solve the problem<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    24. C) In a rational, logical manner<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    25. D) After generating all the alternatives possible
      Ans: B
      Feedback:
      Manymanagers make decisions that are just igood enoughi because of lack of time, energy,
      or creativity to generate a number of alternatives. This is also called \u2018satisficing\u2019 Most<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
