Compare the process for selecting the overall level of medical decision making with the selection of the overall level of history. Why are these two methods of selecting overall level so different? Be specific in your comparison by providing at least two different reasons

What will be an ideal response?


Answers should include, but are not limited to:
· Selecting the overall level of history requires all three elements, while the selection of the overall medical decision making requires only two of the three elements.
· The overall level of history is determined by the lowest level of the three history elements, while the overall level of medical decision making is determined by the two medical decision making elements with the highest levels.
· While the history is determined by the subjective report of the patient, medical decision making is based solely on the clinical, objective measurement of the physician and the results of diagnostic testing.
