Welcome. My name is Divine. This is episode 522 of the Divine Intervention Podcasts.

In today's podcast, we're going to be continuing the series on the 2024, Step 2CK, 312.

This is going to be part 5. We've done the first 30 questions in the series.

Again, it's a super educational series. So, I'll encourage you if you miss the first four

parts. Go back and listen to it. Okay. So let's begin from question 31. A two-year-old girl is

brought to the office by her parents for a well-child examination. She was adopted two months ago.

She has no history of serious illness and receives no medications.

Vital signs are within normal limits. Examination shows no abnormalities.

After the examination, the parents ask when they should tell their daughter about the adoption.

Which of the following is the most appropriate advice regarding the best time to tell the patient?

Option A says after she turns 18 years of age.

Option B says as early as possible, even if she cannot process the whole experience.

Option C says once the seal on the adoption records has been lifted.

Option D says right before she's enrored in kindergarten. Option E says when she learns

that she is not biologically related to her parents. Now, this is an example of a kind of question

that you pretty much cannot prepare for. It's one of those things where you have to make

judgment calls on your exams. But the thing is when you see

situations like this, the first thing you want to do is get rid of answers that make no sense.

So like option E doesn't make any sense or when she learns that she's not biologically related.

That's pretty ridiculous. So we're going to get rid of that. Option C says once the seal on the adoption records has been lifted, doesn't make sense.

They are just certain things where if you've taken enough exams, MBM-based exams, you know that,

yeah, these answers don't make any sense. So option C and E, we're not going to worry about those.
