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: a patient has barely eaten for a prolonged period. On admission, a relative wants to bring several meals immediately to “catch up”.
What should be communicated to the team and relative?
Describe the duration and extent of reduced intake and request assessment of refeeding risk. Explain that restarting nutrition requires an organised, monitored approach for the context rather than a large catch-up intake. The relative can contribute dietary history and preferences. Document the agreed plan and observations to report without independently setting therapeutic quantities.
