Had a couple of questions
1. Is it bad to cut off pts. after the first open ended question if you feel they are too slow? Can you lose points on that?
2. If you remember questions after the physical exam can you still ask those questions or is it bad to ask questions after the PE, before the closure if you’re still unsure about the diagnosis?
3. Are we allowed to bring a non-digital watch to the exam, to keep track of time?
4. If you leave 1 min early and forget an important question can you enter the room again to ask that question or is it once you leave you can’t enter again?
5. Is there any cross check with the SP check list and doctor reading the PN for example if the pt. denies any tobacco use but you put down the pt. used tobacco as a mistake, will you be penalized?
6. How do you examine the chest, in females to check for PMI in the CVS exam do you bring the whole gown down below the costal margin exposing the pt. with a bra on or is that wrong?
7. Is it ok to write during the PE after completing each system to make sure you get the PE noted correctly?
8. If you forgot to do a major PE exam during closure can you do still tell the pt. you would like to check one more thing and perform the maneuver or is it bad to go back?
9. Do you have to tell the pt. every single test you will be doing? What if you think of a test later while writing down the PN but didn’t tell the pt. will you get points off?
10. If he dx is clear- cut such as Herpes Zoster do you just write one diagnosis or should you always put down a second dx such as Small Pox, Measles, Cox Sackie, etc.
