Instructions

You are a medical student on placement in the emergency department. Your next patient is Wendy Wang, 32, whose sister has brought her in because Wendy is convinced the neighbours are hacking her phone.

  1. Take a focused history

  2. Outline to the examiner:

    • The mental state examination findings and your risk assessment
    • Your most likely diagnosis and differentials
  • You do not need to summarise the history
  • No physical examination or management plan is required

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.
