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: after anticancer treatment, a patient calls with rigors and unusual weakness. He does not know his latest neutrophil count and has no measured high fever.
Should assessment wait for the next blood count?
No. The context and new illness require immediate medical escalation through the planned specialist or emergency pathway. Neither the temperature nor an awaited neutrophil count should provide false reassurance. Report treatment and timing, arrange assessment and clearly explain how to obtain care without asking the patient to change medicines independently.
