- The multiple-choice questions that follow each Patient Management
- Problem are designed to enhance comprehension of the material presented in
- the case simulation. Following each Patient Management Problem, the
- DISCOTEST program will proceed to a set of twenty multiple-choice
- questions based on the case you have just completed. Each multiple-choice
- question consists of a brief problem and five possible responses, of which
- only one is considered to be correct or most appropriate. You may use the
- information you have learned in the patient management portion of the test
- to answer the multiple-choice questions. You may select only one response
- for each question and will receive the critique of your response as well
- as references to appropriate chapters in SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN Medicine
- immediately thereafter.

-
- Before you attempt to complete the multiple-choice questions, we
- suggest that you read the chapters in SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN Medicine listed
- at the end of the Patient Management Problem. To facilitate this,
- DISCOTEST allows you to quit (using F10=Quit) after the case simulation has
- been completed and before the multiple-choice section begins. If you elect
- to quit at this point, when you later restart the case, DISCOTEST will pro-
- vide you with the option of proceeding directly to the multiple-choice
- questions without reviewing the entire case simulation.

- To receive any CME credit for a test, you must complete the Patient
- Management Problem and all twenty multiple-choice questions. If you do not
- answer the multiple-choice questions, the computer will not generate your
- 18-digit CME certification code number.
-
- For each correct response that you make on the mutiple-choice
- questions, you will be awarded a positive score. Your total score is
- expressed as a percentage of correct responses out of twenty questions.
