Case 1: You are on a busy clinical rotation when a nurse informs you that one of your
patients is upset because they haven’t received information about their condition in
hours. The attending physician is occupied and not immediately available.
1. How would you handle this situation?
a) Apologize to the patient, reassure them, and let them know you'll relay their concerns to
the physician as soon as possible.
b) Try to answer the patient’s questions with the limited information you have, even if you're
not entirely sure.
c) Tell the patient that you’re not authorized to provide any information and that they’ll have
to wait.
d) Avoid the situation by staying focused on your other tasks, hoping the nurse or another
physician will handle it.
Case 2: During a group project, one of your classmates is consistently
underperforming and not contributing their share of the work. The deadline is
approaching, and your grade depends on the group’s collective effort.
2. What would you do in this situation?
a) Confront the classmate directly, expressing your concerns and asking them to contribute
more.
b) Take on the extra work yourself to ensure the project is completed on time.
c) Speak with the group as a whole to address the issue collectively.
d) Inform the professor about the situation and request intervention.
Case 3: You witness a fellow student making an error while performing a clinical
procedure on a patient. The error could have consequences if not corrected, but the
student is unaware of it.
**3. What is your immediate course of action?**
a) Politely intervene and correct the mistake immediately to avoid any harm to the patient.
b) Wait until the procedure is over, then privately discuss the error with your classmate.
c) Report the error to a supervising physician without directly addressing your classmate.
d) Do nothing, as it’s not your place to interfere.
Case 4: During a difficult and emotionally charged discussion with a patient’s family,
the attending physician asks you to explain a complicated medical condition. The
family is visibly distressed.
4. How would you approach this situation?
a) Use simple language to explain the condition clearly and compassionately.
b) Acknowledge the family's emotions and ask if they would prefer to wait for the attending to
provide more detailed information.
c) Stick to the medical facts without addressing the emotional aspects, to avoid saying
anything that could be misinterpreted.
