At the viva table
Try answering aloud, then open the suggested answer. Examiner questions vary.

No. It is individualised.
02 / Does absence of pain prove disease control?
No. Reassessment is still required.
03 / Why compare with earlier charts?
Trends help assess stability or progression.
04 / Why discuss self-care barriers?
