Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for paramedics. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Perform emergency cardiac care, such as cardioversion and manual defibrillation.
Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?
2. Perform emergency invasive intervention before delivering patient to an acute care facility.
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Coordinate work with other emergency medical team members or police or fire department personnel.
What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.
4. Assess nature and extent of illness or injury to establish and prioritize medical procedures.
