  2. Explain your assessment and the management plan to Mr Hargrave

  • You do not need to examine the patient; his neurological examination is normal

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.
