Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for nurse anesthetists. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Manage patients' airway or pulmonary status, using techniques such as endotracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, pharmacological support, respiratory therapy, and extubation.
Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?
2. Respond to emergency situations by providing airway management, administering emergency fluids or drugs, or using basic or advanced cardiac life support techniques.
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Monitor patients' responses, including skin color, pupil dilation, pulse, heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, ventilation, or urine output, using invasive and noninvasive techniques.
What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.
4. Select, order, or administer anesthetics, adjuvant drugs, accessory drugs, fluids or blood products as necessary.
Explain a time you coordinated this work with someone else. How did you communicate?
5. Select, prepare, or use equipment, monitors, supplies, or drugs for the administration of anesthetics.
How would you handle an unfamiliar part of this task? Identify what you would need to learn.
6. Assess patients' medical histories to predict anesthesia response.
