- Use the information provided to answer the question asked. Do not assume facts and do not invent questions.
- Try to imagine the steps you will follow if you are actually managing the patient.
- Take careful notice of words like the “most appropriate” (which means more than one may be applicable) and “next” (which implies a sequence of steps in management)
