Tonight we managed 3 essays but no EMQs.
Question 1.
A 35-year-old woman plans to go to a malarial area of Africa to join her husband who works there. She is 6 weeks pregnant.
Critically evaluate the advice you will give her.
Question 2.
A nulliparous woman of 30 years attends for pre-pregnancy counselling.
Her father is a carrier of the Fragile X premutation.
1. detail the history you will take. 6 marks
2. outline the clinical conditions associated with the Fragile X chromosome. 6 marks.
3. justify your management. 12 marks.
Question 3.
A woman of 18 attends the A&E Department requesting emergency contraception.
You have been asked to see her.
1. Outline the history you will take. 4 marks.
2. Justify the investigations you will arrange. 2 marks.
3. Outline the methods of emergency contraception and their pros and cons. 8 marks.
3. Justify your management. 8 marks.
Send me your answers and I'll send mine.
Don't waste your time and mine by reading up on the subject and spending an hour writing the essay. In the exam you will not have these luxuries and it is the exam that you are preparing for. Unless you write the essays under exam conditions you will get little or no benefit.
I have not yet written answers to essays 2 & 3, but I'll try to find time in the next day or two.
