Bad_Narrative02_screenshot01This is an example of a bad narrative.

Bad_Narrative02_screenshot02Even though some positive cardinal symptoms are mentioned, probing of each symptom is poor.

Bad_Narrative02_screenshot03The interviewer should have asked about details of the positive cardinal symptoms by using the cardinal symptoms list. For example, information about diarrhoea should describe frequency, condition,and associated symptoms such as vomiting or dehydration.
