This is the last case (31) of FA 2nd edition. 25yoM with a h/o a MVA( and infectious mono nucleosis 2 wks back), now presents with chest pain and LUQ pain. He has no neurological complaints now or at the time of the MVA. I cant understand why a complete neuro exam (including mental state) is required. raised eyebrow

In any case, if I get this case on the exam, I dont think I'd have time for a neuro exam after doing a thorough chest and abdo exam.. rolling eyes

mini mental status exam..could be to check his orienattion to time place and person...to rule out head contusion or the likes ..its possible he could have hit his heead during the MVA
