prescribing pain meds to a patient based on the patient's history

promoting a member of a medical team to a senior position

Explanation:

"Critical-thinking" refers to the person's ability to judge a situation according to his own analysis and evaluation. Such evaluation will depend on the person's experience, observation, reasoning and similar things. Among the activities above, the second choice and the fourth choice are the only ones which show the skill.

Prescribing pain meds to a patient based on the patient's history requires an intellectual skill. This means that one has to know the age of the person, his allergy to some pain meds and other medicines he's taking will also be considered in order to know which pain medication is best for him.

Promoting a member of a medical team to a senior position should be thoroughly planned, thus it requires an intellectual skill. One has to know why the member has to be promoted, and his work experience will also be considered. Many things will be synthesized before arriving at a conclusion.
