How would you handle a situation where your patient refused medication? How would you handle having to assume care of another nurse who was pulled to another unit? And as a follow up question if you have discharged a majority of your patient what would you do? How would you handle a situation in which another nurse wasn't doing their part to help out? Give an example of how you use optimism to change or better a patient's care? I went to a peer interview today, a first for me so I listed the questions I remember. Hope this is helpful. I was nervous because I didn't know how to prepare for the interview, but it went well.

I'm a nursing student and also was confused about the difference between potential complications (PC) and collaborative problems. From what I can understand potential complications is encompassed in collaborative problems. Per my text book, "Collaborative problems are potential or actual complications of disease or treatment that nurses treat with other health care providers, most frequently physicians". So for care plans collaborative problems should include not only potential problems but also existing actual problems. So you were right, they are essentially the same. Hope this is helpful for future confused students.
