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 two consecutive collections, an unlabelled tube remains on the trolley. The professional thinks the patient can be identified from the order of care.
Can the label be completed from memory?
No. The order of care does not establish specimen identity. Set the tube aside, notify the laboratory and follow the nonconformity procedure; recollection may be required according to the appropriate decision. Record the event and identify the organisational contributing factor. Misattribution can lead to unnecessary treatment or conceal a real emergency.
