Instructions

You are a medical student on placement in general practice. Your next patient is Vittorio Lombardo, 84, presenting with three falls in the last six weeks.

  1. Take a full history

  2. Outline to the examiner:

    • Your findings
  • You do not need to examine the patient
  • You do not need to give a diagnosis or discuss management

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.
