Take Over the Patient
You inherit a patient mid-care at sign-out. The workup is already on the chart, treatment is running, and the story you were handed does not quite fit what you find. Ten minutes, like the real exam station: gather what was done, weigh the new information, change the plan, and check that it worked.
