Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for anesthesiologists. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Examine patient, obtain medical history, and use diagnostic tests to determine risk during surgical, obstetrical, and other medical procedures.
Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?
2. Administer anesthetic or sedation during medical procedures, using local, intravenous, spinal, or caudal methods.
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Record type and amount of anesthesia and patient condition throughout procedure.
What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.
4. Monitor patient before, during, and after anesthesia and counteract adverse reactions or complications.
Explain a time you coordinated this work with someone else. How did you communicate?
5. Decide when patients have recovered or stabilized enough to be sent to another room or ward or to be sent home following outpatient surgery.
How would you handle an unfamiliar part of this task? Identify what you would need to learn.
6. Coordinate administration of anesthetics with surgeons during operation.
