Interview at Subacute Facility - Help with Prepping

Hi all,

I'm a brand new LPN interviewing for my first LPN position on Monday at a subacute facility. The written application had a 75 question test attached to it, if that gives you an idea of how this place operates! Anyway, I'm prepping for the interview and I feel fairly confident with the standard interview questions: tell me about yourself, why this facility, weaknesses, strengths, etc.

I'm having a little more trouble prepping for situational questions that may arise, such as: what would you do if you found a patient not breathing, what would you do if you made a drug error, what would you do if 2 CNA's were arguing loudly, what would you do if a CNA was insubordinate, etc.

I feel like I could answer what I would do if a patient is found not breathing (determine pulse, call for help, initiate rescue breathing) as well as what to do with a drug error (admit the error, determine if harm is caused, notify supervisor/physician, document), but I'm not sure how to handle CNA insubordination or fighting. Thoughts?

Any additional tips and help before Monday would be appreciated! I would love to get into this facility as I hope to continue here once I get my RN next May!
