50 First Aid Nurse Questions and Answers:

1 :: Can you tell us is there anyone you just could not work with?

No. Well, unless you're talking about murderers, racists, rapists, thieves or other dastardly characters, you can work with anyone. Otherwise you could be flagged as someone who's picky and difficult if you say, "I can't work with anyone who's a Bronco's fan. Sorry."

2 :: What is paracetamol?

An effective over-the-counter pain reliever and fever reducer. Also known as acetaminophen or APAP.

3 :: What is recovery Position?

Part of first aid treatment where an unconscious, yet breathing person is placed in a position that will ensure clear and open airways and make sure that possible vomit or fluid will not cause them to choke. For first aid training, refer to Managed Training Services.

4 :: What is tetanus?

A bacterial disease that is characterized by spasm of voluntary muscles usually brought through a wound or puncture by a contaminated object, such as rusty nails. Clostridium Tetani is the bacterium that caused an infection that generally enters through the skin.

5 :: Can you tell us what Do You Like to do in Your Free Time?

This question also does not require any preparation and it is not necessary that your reply should be related to your job. You can simply quote your hobbies or interests like reading novels, playing any kind of sports, or anything that you are interested in.

6 :: Tell us what Challenges are You Looking for in This Occupation?

This question is asked to know what exactly you are looking for in the new job. You can tell what kind of patients you want to handle and on what kind of project you want to work. You can also twist the answer by saying those challenges that would effectively utilize your abilities, skills, and experiences and help for the betterment of life of disabled.

7 :: Tell us what do You Dislike about Occupation Therapy?

This is not an easy question as it seems. Only an incompetent therapist assistant would dislike the job. You can reply in a positive way by saying that if you dislike anything, you would not have chosen this field as a career option.

On the other hand, if you are a fresher, you can say I haven’t worked as an OT before so I cannot say anything.

8 :: Can you tell us are you good at working in a team?

Unless you have the I.Q. of a houseplant, you'll always answer YES to this one. It's the only answer. How can anyone function inside an organization if they are a loner? You may want to mention what part you like to play in a team though; it's a great chance to explain that you're a natural leader.

9 :: Tell us are you willing to put the interests of X Company ahead of your own?

Again, another nasty question. If you say yes, you're a corporate whore who doesn't care about family. If you say no, you're disloyal to the company. I'm afraid that you'll probably have to say yes to this one though, because you're trying to be the perfect employee at this point, and perfect employees don't cut out early for Jimmy's baseball game.

10 :: What is overdose?

Taking an excessive dose of drugs, whether prescribed by the doctor, legal or illegal and over the counter drugs, which leads to a serious health condition, or worse, death. Check Alsco’sFirst Aid for Overdose to learn how to take care of yourself in case you get the symptoms.
