Process

1. Use the algorithm in the Resident Survival Guide of the topic.
2. Use the first branching point as a reference for the first question.
3. Provide answers to the quesitons. There could be two or more answers.
4. Link provided answers to corresponding pages on WikiDoc.
5. Give Definitions and Action Items for the first quesiton. Create References if required.
6. Use the second branching point after each answer as a reference for the second question
7. Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5.
8. After finishing the critical pathways, add the Critical Pathways icon in the Main Page by using the following wikicode.
