Instructions

You are a medical student on placement in the emergency department. Your next patient is Ruby Lockwood, 2, brought in by her mother, Jess, after a possible poisoning.

  1. Take a focused history from her mother

  2. Explain your diagnosis and management plan to her mother

  • You do not need to examine Ruby; the examiner will give you any observations you ask for
  • You do not need to summarise your findings to the examiner

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.
