Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for magnetic resonance imaging technologists. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Review physicians' orders to confirm prescribed exams.
Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?
2. Conduct screening interviews of patients to identify contraindications, such as ferrous objects, pregnancy, prosthetic heart valves, cardiac pacemakers, or tattoos.
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Select appropriate imaging techniques or coils to produce required images.
What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.
4. Operate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners.
Explain a time you coordinated this work with someone else. How did you communicate?
5. Provide headphones or earplugs to patients to improve comfort and reduce unpleasant noise.
How would you handle an unfamiliar part of this task? Identify what you would need to learn.
