What is the most dangerous entity that is associated with this particular chief complaint? 
  
However, the “chief complaint” in Charmaine’s recommended question is not necessarily what patients say when they first come into the ER. This is why she urges students to learn how to ‘ask the right questions.’ Often, this means keeping questions open-ended. This is to avoid biasing the diagnosis towards the first thing that a patient says and to try to get to the true chief complaint. 
With respect to student/preceptor relationships, students should “just ask” if they are uncertain of their performance or of preceptor expectations. This is a good way to prevent surprising results at mid-rotation evaluations. From the perspective of preceptors, they should give feedback consistently, preferably after every shift. This encourages students to reflect on their performance and conduct “intentional learning.” Another tip that Charmaine gives to preceptors is to use the “teach back” technique. Every time a preceptor explains something to a student, the student should be able to teach it back to the preceptor.
