Station - Instructions for candidate

You are an intern on the medical ward of a Perth metropolitan hospital.

Neha Iyer, an 82-year-old woman, underwent an elective left hip replacement three days ago. The patient's daughter has come to the ward and will speak with you about her concerns.

Your tasks are to:

  1. Take a collateral history from the daughter.
  2. Request any relevant investigations and interpret the results provided.
  3. Summarise your findings to the examiner with your most likely diagnosis and differential diagnoses.
  4. Outline your initial management plan to the examiner.
  • The patient is not in the room; you will take collateral history from the family member only.

This is a 15-minute station, with 2 minutes of reading time.

Ask the examiner

Say what you would examine or request, the way you would in the station. Nothing is named until you ask for it.

Whatever the examiner recognises is revealed below. Or pick a numbered item to reveal it blind.

Investigations

Ask for a category the way you would in the station: “Can I have the obs and a set of bloods?”
