Instructions

You are an intern in the endoscopy pre-admission clinic. Your next patient is Eleni Konstantinou, 62, booked for a colonoscopy after a positive bowel screening test.

  1. Take a focused pre-procedure history

  2. Obtain consent for the colonoscopy from 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.
