- Gaps: *Contradictions - C/C: Pitting edema vs HOPI: non pitting edema* - which one? *C/C: Urine decreased 5 days vs HOPI: Oliguria 1 year* - which one? *HOPI: CKD diagnosed 2 years ago vs CKD diagnosed by blood test 8 months ago* - which one? *No PR - Pulse Rate missing from vitals.* *No Investigations - RFT, CBC, Hb, Electrolytes, eGFR, USG - missing.* *No AV Fistula Auscultation - Bruit - missing - unlike Case 2.* *No AV Fistula Palpation - Thrill - "palpable continuous / mild" - continuous what? - thrill? - not clear.* *No Last dialysis, No Dry weight.* *No Cause of CKD - HTN only? DM? - missing.*

*Score: 1 / 2*
- Partial recall - demographics + timeline + dialysis + AV fistula + vitals good, but contradictions, PR, investigations, bruit missing.
- *Next target:* Clean contradictions before submitting - Pitting or non-pitting? Urine decreased 5 days or 1 year? CKD diagnosed 2 years or 8 months ago? Always record PR - Pulse Rate - e.g. 78 bpm - not missing. Always record Investigations - RFT - urea, creatinine, eGFR, CBC - Hb, Electrolytes - K, Ca, Phosphate, USG kidney. Always do AV Fistula Examination - Inspection + Palpation (Thrill) + Auscultation (Bruit) - Thrill continuous + Bruit = working. Always record Last dialysis, Dry weight, Dialysis frequency. Always record Cause of CKD - HTN, DM, Glomerulonephritis?

### 2. Understand - Comprehension
*Evidence in portfolio:*
- HTN + CKD 2 years -> edema 1 year ankles -> legs -> oliguria 1 year -> dialysis 2 times/week, 4 hrs/session -> CKD Stage 5D - sequence described.
- But no explanation in own words of why HTN causes CKD, why CKD causes edema, oliguria, appetite ↓, sleep disturbed.
- No explanation of CKD Stage 5D, MHD, AV fistula, pitting vs non-pitting - not explained.

*Score: 1 / 2*
- Partial comprehension.
- *Next target:* Explain: HTN 2 years = high pressure damages kidney small vessels -> CKD. Explain: CKD Stage 5D = End Stage Renal Disease, eGFR <15, D = on Dialysis, MHD = Maintenance Haemodialysis. Explain: CKD -> kidneys cannot clear water / salt -> bilateral pedal edema ankles -> legs, insidious, gradually progressive, relieved by rest, cannot make urine -> oliguria 200 ml/day. Explain: Appetite ↓, Sleep disturbed = uraemia, fluid overload, breathlessness. Explain: Pitting edema = fluid in tissues, pit on pressing - CKD / cardiac, Non-pitting = lymphoedema / myxoedema - you wrote both, need to decide which. Explain: AV Fistula - Cephalic vein + Radial artery - for dialysis, Palpable continuous thrill + Bruit = working, Mild swelling present = need to check for infection / thrombosis.

### 3. Apply - Application to Patient Care
*Evidence in portfolio:*
- Dialysis - 2 times/wk, 4 hrs/session, AV fistula - mentioned.
- Provisional - For AV fistula assessment - mentioned.
- But no student plan - no investigation plan, no management plan.
- No application of BP 160/90 + RR 29/min to care - no BP control, no lung check.

*Score: 1 / 2*
- Partial application - dialysis + fistula assessment applied, but no care plan.
- *Next target:* Add: RFT, CBC, Electrolytes, ECG, Chest X-ray, USG kidney, AV Fistula Doppler if needed. Add management - Continue dialysis - clarify times/week, do not miss, Take antihypertensive regularly, BP monitoring daily, Fluid restriction, low salt, daily weight, check fistula daily - thrill / bruit, keep clean, no BP / blood draw on fistula arm, Treat anaemia, Diet - low salt, low potassium, Follow-up, Refer - Nephrology. Add: If BP 160/90 + RR 29/min + edema + oliguria - urgent - check lungs for crepitations, SpO2, weight gain, K, last dialysis.

### 4. Analyze - Differentiation & Interpretation
*Evidence in portfolio:*
- Provisional: CKD Stage 5D on MHD - For AV fistula assessment - specific, better than Case 2.
- But no differential list.
- No analysis of alternative causes: Hypertensive nephrosclerosis vs Diabetic nephropathy vs Chronic glomerulonephritis.
- No analysis of fistula - working vs thrombosed vs infected - not differentiated.
- No analysis of RR 29/min - tachypnoea - why? - not analyzed.

*Score: 1 / 2*
- Partial analysis - CKD Stage 5D named, but not differentiated.
- *Next target:* Add differential table: Hypertensive Nephrosclerosis - supports HTN 2 years, CKD 2 years, edema 1 year, oliguria 1 year, BP 160/90; against - no USG - small kidneys, no urine protein given. Diabetic Nephropathy - supports CKD, edema, oliguria; against - N/K/C/O DM - you wrote N/K/C/O TB, asthma, epilepsy, but DM not stated - need to clarify patient DM status. Chronic Glomerulonephritis - supports CKD, edema, HTN, oliguria; against - no haematuria, proteinuria mentioned. AV Fistula - Working - supports palpable continuous thrill, surgical scar, no redness; against - mild swelling present, no bruit given - need bruit to confirm. AV Fistula - Thrombosed - supports mild swelling, no bruit? - need to check thrill / bruit. AV Fistula - Infected - supports swelling; against - no redness, no fever, temp 98F. Must analyze: Is RR 29/min due to fluid overload / pulmonary edema, anaemia, or acidosis? Is edema pitting or non-pitting?

### 5. Evaluate - Judgment & Reflection
*Evidence in portfolio:*
- Negatives - N/K/C/O TB, asthma, epilepsy - show judgment.
- PICCLE - E (+) only, rest (-) - shows judgment.
- "For AV fistula assessment" - shows judgment - you know the purpose of the case.
- But no judgment on contradictions - pitting vs non-pitting, urine 5 days vs 1 year, CKD 2 years vs 8 months - not evaluated.
- No judgment on BP 160/90 + RR 29/min - not flagged as urgent.
- No reflection.

*Score: 1 / 2*
- Partial evaluation - negatives + fistula purpose show judgment, but contradictions / vitals missed.
- *Next target:* Add: Can I label CKD Stage 5D without RFT - eGFR, USG, urine protein? What is most urgent - BP 160/90 + RR 29/min + edema + oliguria 200 ml/day - is she in fluid overload / pulmonary edema / hyperkalaemia? What is the risk if I miss fistula thrombosis - dialysis failure? What is the risk if I miss fistula infection - swelling + redness + fever? What would I do differently - check PR, check bruit, check thrill clearly, check last dialysis, missed dialysis?, check lungs for crepitations, check weight gain? Reflection on 50F Housewife - 2 years HTN + CKD, on dialysis, appetite ↓, sleep disturbed - impact on work, family, household, need for counselling, diet, BP monitoring?

### 6. Create - Synthesis & New Learning Product
*Evidence in portfolio:*
- No original product - no algorithm, concept map, patient education material.

*Score: 0 / 2*
- Not met.
- *Next target:* Create 1-page algorithm: HTN 2 Years -> CKD -> Edema 1 Year -> Oliguria -> Dialysis -> AV Fistula Assessment -> Working vs Thrombosed vs Infected -> Management, OR patient education sheet for CKD Stage 5D on MHD - Dialysis, BP monitoring, fluid / salt, AV Fistula Care - check thrill / bruit daily, keep clean, no BP / blood draw on fistula arm, when to go to hospital - breathlessness, swelling, urine ↓, fistula pain / redness / no thrill.

### Summary Sheet - Roll No. 2 - 2023 Batch
Bloom Level | Score /2 | Key Feedback
1. Remember | 1 | Timeline + dialysis + fistula good, contradictions, PR, bruit missing
2. Understand | 1 | HTN -> CKD sequence described, Stage 5D / MHD not explained
3. Apply | 1 | Dialysis + fistula applied, no BP / RR plan
4. Analyze | 1 | CKD Stage 5D named, no differential / fistula table
5. Evaluate | 1 | Negatives + fistula purpose show judgment, contradictions / vitals missed
6. Create | 0 | No original product
**Total** | **5 / 12** | **Developing - Competent**
*Overall CBME Feedback for Roll 2 - Progression:*
- CASE 1 SOB + Face Swelling + Edema 70M = 5/12, CASE 2 HTN + CKD + Dialysis = 5/12, CASE 3 T2DM + HTN + CKD + Breathlessness 49F = 5/12, CASE 4 Hip Fracture 80F = 6/12, *This portfolio = 5/12*
- *Progress flat, but staging is now correct:* Provisional: CKD Stage 5D on MHD - For AV fistula assessment - that is the first time you staged CKD correctly - Stage 5D = End Stage on Dialysis - and you stated the purpose - AV fistula assessment. And Dialysis - 2 times/wk, 4 hrs/session, AV fistula - is now routine for you.
- *Critical learning from this case:* Three contradictions - Pitting vs Non-pitting edema, Urine decreased 5 days vs 1 year, CKD diagnosed 2 years vs 8 months - fix them before submitting. And you missed the two vitals that matter most in CKD + edema - PR and Bruit. In AV fistula assessment, Thrill + Bruit are the case - you have "palpable continuous / mild" - continuous what? - and no bruit. Add PR + Bruit + RFT RESULTS + Contradiction fix, and this case becomes 8-9/12.
