yes you must dim the light before fundoscopy.
For pupillary reflex I think you can do that in the room light---anyway I didn't checked that in my exam.Do as you would like to.

If patient is having headache--ask whether diming the light will help them.If they say yes then dim it or else carry on with the history.

hpv-

Frankly speaking I really donot know how to reflect the MMSE--may be you can see in FA cases where there are positive /history clinical findings.

You can start like: Alert/confused,Unable to follow 3 step command,Orientation to time/place/person, poor judgement,etc


usmlemed123:
1..i am weak in counselling./..i give alot of pauses..can u plz tell me how to improve on it...n that shouldnt be the cause of my failure...----- pauses do not matter that much,But work on that by making points what you will say in every counselling case.Main thing is encounter should include counselling ,how effective does not matter in 15 min assessment,what matters is the weighty content which help patient to motivate.

2.once we summarize history before begining PE...n should i again repeat it in end after PE..n also to save time,can i counsel abt smoking n drinking,just after history taking...does that sound good to sp-----------------Never repeat the summary.It kills time.I may sound odd but after practice only you can know that it sounds awkward.
Main point in counselling is to make patient feel that doc is caring.

just after " will sit back together to discuss the treatment options.............I want to counsel you on ....................utter the word counsel,to let the patient know that counselling has been done.....

prepare a rigid format for the counselling and use the same format always .

good luck
