MCQs, short practical answers, synthetic cases, finding errors and qualitative ordering use the existing MICA assessment formats. Sessions, history, progress and optional timing stay within Mon MICA.
FICTIONAL SITUATION · REFLECTION WITHOUT A SCORE
Fictional situation: an adult collapses on the ward. He is unresponsive and makes occasional gasps. A witness thinks he is still breathing and suggests waiting for the doctor.
How should this be interpreted and managed?
Gasps are not normal breathing. Assume arrest, activate help and request the AED immediately, then start compressions without waiting. Allocate tasks and follow defibrillator instructions on arrival. Trained responders provide advanced interventions; waiting for them does not suspend basic CPR.
