Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for anesthesiologist assistants. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Provide airway management interventions including tracheal intubation, fiber optics, or ventilary support.
Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?
2. Assist anesthesiologists in monitoring of patients, including electrocardiogram (EKG), direct arterial pressure, central venous pressure, arterial blood gas, hematocrit, or routine measurement of temperature, respiration, blood pressure or heart rate.
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Control anesthesia levels during procedures.
What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.
4. Administer anesthetic, adjuvant, or accessory drugs under the direction of an anesthesiologist.
Explain a time you coordinated this work with someone else. How did you communicate?
5. Pretest and calibrate anesthesia delivery systems and monitors.
How would you handle an unfamiliar part of this task? Identify what you would need to learn.
