Prompt
You are the paediatric registrar in a community clinic. The examiner will move from a routine 6-month visit to iron-risk feeding at 9 months, then to an infant who arrives for 12-month vaccines but looks unwell.

Branch 1 — Routine 6-month visit

Examiner: How do you open this visit? [1]

Strong answer: Doorway look for wellness, then caregiver agenda, measurements, and structured domains — growth, development, feeding and iron, sleep, injury, oral health, vaccine status, and family psychosocial context — finishing with a shared plan and safety-net. [1] [7]

Examiner: Complementary foods have not started. What do you say? [2]

Strong answer: Around 6 months start iron-rich complementary foods while continuing breastmilk or formula; give practical first-food examples; avoid honey under 12 months; do not switch to unmodified cow’s milk as the main drink; check family supports that make feeding change realistic. [2] [3]
