Instructions

You are an intern on the orthopaedic ward. Neha Iyer, 82, became confused overnight, three days after a hip replacement. Her daughter is here to talk to you.

  1. Take a history from her daughter

  2. Outline to the examiner:

    • Your most likely diagnosis and differentials
    • Next steps in management, including relevant investigations
Practising alone? Ask the examinerFindings appear only when you ask for them

Investigations

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.
