Scenario interview questions

[RN-PD]

I had a interview last week.Which I didnt get. Can you help me with some answers? Thank you

1. If you were a nurse on a floor and you walked into a room and the patient was short of breath and said they were having trouble breathing, what would you access and why? You hear wheezing and you note that the patient has a history of asthma then what would you do? How would you chart this scenario?

2.If you are a nurse on a floor and one patient is experiencing transfusion reaction, anotherpatient that is in shock and a third patient with low blood pressure, who do you see first and why?

3.If you have a diabetic patient who is not communicative, what do you do?

If you have an older patient that has been in bed 2 weeks, is short of breath, and has a

respiratory rate of 40, what do you do?

4.If you are a nurse on a floor and the ventilator alarm is sounding and the high pressure alarm is sounding, what do you do?

5.f you are a nurse on a unit and you have a patient who is asking for pain meds, a patient who is leaving for the OR and the OR doc calls and says they are coming up in 5 minutes and you need to have the patient ready, a patient who needs to use the restroom, a patient who feels sick and a patient who wants someone to sit with them, who do you see first and why?

6.If you were working on a floor and a doctor came up to you and yelled at you referring to patient that wasn't yours and you had not been taking care of, how would you respond?

7. And it was a question about one patient sick and another with low blood pressure who do you help first?

Thank you very much

I have a new grad residency interview where I will have the chance to interview for multiple units. This was very helpful for me and has given me some ideas on how to prepare. If you have any other suggestions or other areas where I should focus on please let me know if you read this! Thanks!

Go to a bookstore and grab a book on tips to interview. I did that and it helped a lot!

I found it very helpful, more than one year later! I just had an interview with these types of questions, which I was unprepared for, so this helps me know what they are looking for next time! Thanks!! :)
