You will come across questions that put you in conflict with your patients. Here is a working example of such a question. You can see our students' wide variety of answers, so you must learn some rules to get this right.

• All decisions that you make should benefit the patient.

• Work colleagues second – you should help colleagues and not undermine them

• The last importance is yourself.

• Patient safety first

You will come across questions where you will be making decisions involving patients. For example :-

1. Patients must have the mental capacity to make decisions.

2. Must be presented with all the relevant information

3. Make decisions freely and without pressure.

4. Presented in a format that the patient can understand

In addition, you will see questions where you will make decisions involving your team, whether it is dysfunctional, related to workload, or perhaps to feedback.
