Instructions

You are a medical student on placement in general practice. Joy Villanueva, 22, is a nursing student who moved from the Philippines two years ago. Her university requires TB screening before her hospital placement. The GP plans a Mantoux test.

  1. Explain TB screening and the Mantoux test to Ms Villanueva

  • You do not need to take a history or examine the patient

ChoiceHub writes these stations itself, from the ground up, across a wide range of clinical topics. They are not official exam material, and no university has written, reviewed or endorsed them. “Recommended for” only suggests the year and exam format a station suits.
