PROMPT 01 · OTOLOGYScope the source
A resource describes a hearing-related topic. What should you identify before treating it as a revision authority?
Check your thinking
Its publisher, date, intended learner or care setting, the population or question it covers, and what it does not establish. Connect its claims back to the relevant anatomy and physiology source.
PROMPT 02 · RHINOLOGYBuild a map
How would you organise a rhinology topic so it remains more than a list of labels?
Check your thinking
Start with region and structure, then function, symptom or time-course context, examination or investigation boundary, and the source version. Keep diagnosis and management claims out unless the approved source directly supports them.
PROMPT 03 · LARYNGOLOGYName the boundary
Why should an exam revision note state its clinical boundary?
Check your thinking
Because educational summaries cannot replace current local protocols, supervised assessment, or patient-specific decisions. The boundary protects the learner from confusing recall material with a care pathway.
