Written by senior clinicians across a range of specialties, Data Interpretation for Medical Finals: Single Best Answer Questions is the perfect way to prepare for data interpretation assessments and clinical practice.

Featuring over 200 questions on key topics in medicine, each question is set around an image or investigation, such as an X-ray, CT scan, or blood film, and tests identification and interpretation of the data provided. Thorough explanation of the correct and incorrect answers helps you learn from mistakes.  The questions reflect current exam question style and incorporate high quality images, many of which are annotated, and are presented in full colour throughout.

Data Interpretation for Medical Finals will help build the confidence of all medical students, and Foundation Doctors, as it encourages application of investigation results to clinical decision making.

Foreword

It has become almost universal that multi-option questioning forms the mainstay of many of the written components of medical exams. As these have evolved we have seen a change from traditional multiple choice questions with negative marking and black-and-white answers to more scenario-based questions. One of the most popular modern formats is the single-best-answer style, which this book adopts. When written carefully, single best answers can challenge the students' range of abilities and can use more realistic clinical examples.

This book provides advice on exam questions and allows students to test their knowledge with a more modern style of single-best-answer questions, which are based more around clinical situations that would be faced by students, foundation year doctors and junior trainees. All of the questions have full explanatory answers which allow students to learn as they test themselves. There are many question books available, but this one is written to be informative and challenging while ensuring that the foundations of medical and surgical practice are covered and that it is enjoyable to use.
