Can someone give me examples of tests that include pairing similar medications! I applied for position at urgent care and know they include such questions in their interview test. I tried to look up online to practice it but could not find any. I did not have to take such tests in a while but now looking for new position and need help to prepare. I will probably have interview in another week or two.

what do you mean pairing?

Specializes in Emergency Nursing.

compatibility perhaps?

No ,it's not compatibility! It is a type of pharmacology questions where you have to pair medications which are similar , like lets say opioids or antibiotics or antihistamins. In the test usually they put bunch of meds on the Lt column and bunch in the Rt column and then you have to match them.

Lets say if I see Meclizine on Rt side and Vistaril on Lt side among others ,I can match those -pair them,knowing they are similar as meds.. I was hoping to have more practice before I go for test, because I only use specific meds at place of work now and as RN more dealing with triage and sick calls, not with med administrations, and I'm not sure which meds they will include in that test at interview..
