Situational Judgement · Question 1 of 20:00 / 0:23

During a group assessment, a dental student discovers that a shared slide contains a patient photograph with an identifying label. The presentation has not started. The colleague who prepared the slide is absent, and the tutor is available. The label can be removed, but the group has not checked whether permission was given to use the photograph.

How appropriate is the following action?

Pause use of the slide and ask the tutor to clarify permission before it is shown.

What scores well

  • Patient safety and confidentiality come first.
  • Act within your role. Bring in the right senior person.
  • Deal with the problem directly and honestly, without blame.

Near misses still score

An answer one step from the key earns part of the mark. So pick the closest option, never leave one blank.
