Prompt
You are the paediatric registrar in a youth-friendly clinic. The examiner will move from the harm-reduction philosophy to screening, a cyberbullying-suicidality scenario, a gaming concern, and an online exploitation disclosure.
Stem
The examiner will test whether you can treat digital media as a clinical risk domain rather than a moral panic, and act on danger without lecturing. [7] [1]
