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 leg ulcer becomes much more painful, with spreading redness and chills. A dressing change is scheduled for the next day.
Should the scheduled care be awaited?
No. These signs call for prompt medical assessment, urgently if the patient deteriorates. Communicate the trend, vital signs and risk factors rather than simply choosing a more absorbent dressing. The team must decide on treatment for possible infection and assessment for complications. Record the time of escalation and the response received.
