QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◍ You are the professor at a university, and a student approaches you asking
for a "strong" letter of recommendation. The student was caught cheating
last year, and a colleague told you that he "threw a tantrum." If you did write
the letter, would you mention what your colleague had said about the
student, why or why not?.
Answer: Before making a decision, I would try to gather as much
information and personal observations about the student. I do not know the
exact conversation that took place nor do i know if there was a possible
miscommunication of the student's behavior. I also know that this letter will
impact the academic future of this student, so I would be hesitant to make
conclusions without know the student personally.
◍ What is your biggest strength?.
Answer: The most common compliment or positive feedback I have
received is on my cheerful attitude and friendliness. I really enjoy talking
and working with others, which is part of the reason why I have chosen to
pursue PA. Even when working long hours, I tend to be upbeat.
◍ Keeping your cool and remaining calm in a hospital setting, no matter what
a patient may say or do, is incredibly important.What strategies do you
implement to practice patience?.
Answer: I have learned that in life, it is vital to not take anything personal. It
took me long to understand that as I am a sensitive person. Whenever I feel
pushed close to the edge, I try to practice mindfulness. By being present in
the moment, without judgement, instead, understanding of what a person
might be going through. In healthcare, there is always going to be a person
who may be upset or hurt. It is important to always consider ones feelings
before allowing it to affect you.
,◍ Consider a time when you faced a difficult situation.What would you do
differently if you experienced a similar situation again? Explain your
answer..
Answer: Looking back I could have asked for more assistance from my
peers rather than deal with it on my own. This took some time from other
patients that were present in the clinic so allowing others to assist would
decrease my stress and workload as well.
◍ EMTALA.
Answer: Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor ActProhibits the
transferring of uninsured patients to public hospitals to avoid treating them
◍ You're a university TA and one of your top-performing students submits an
assignment that is noticeably below their usual standard. You suspect
personal issues may be affecting their academic performance, but discussing
such matters can be inappropriate and sensitive. Interestingly, the student
sends you an email requesting an extension on their next assignment, citing
personal issues that affected their work.How would you handle this scenario
in relation to grading this assignment and considering the request for an
extension?.
Answer: I believe I would respond by explaining that I understand there can
be personal issues that may arise affecting academic performances;
however, it is important to know when it is repeatedly causing a negative
affect. I would offer suggestions of way to seek help if it continues.
◍ "Do not follow where the path may lead" What does this quote teach you
about leadership..
Answer: That leaders are innovative and form their own path to success. By
following everyone else, one will only accomplish what everyone else has.
In medicine, leaders have innovated new technologies like the Da Vinci
robot to assist in surgeries, resulting in safer procedures for patients.
Innovative thinking is how leaders find novel solutions and make the
industry safer, more efficient, and accessible to the community.

medical problems.Each problem indexed with a unique
numberReports/documentation reference the # of the problem they address

◍ You're part of a research team and another team member, Alex, confides in
you that they have discovered inconsistencies in a colleague, John's, data
that suggest data manipulation. Alex has asked for strict confidentiality as
they fear John may retaliate. Notably, John is related to the lead researcher,
who is known to favor him. While data integrity is crucial, you are also
aware of the potential repercussions Alex may face, and your own position
on the team may be at stake.What strategies would you employ to ensure the
long-term integrity of your team's research?.
Answer: Some strategies I would encourage would be team meetings where
everyone reports research collecting data methods. This would not only
ensure integrity but also allow others to learn different methods. This
meeting could also allow for positive/negative feedback to be implemented
in future studies. I believe it is also important to ensure ethicality throughout
all aspects of research.
◍ Impression.
Answer: Physicians opinion on what is wrong with the patient (admitting
dx)
◍ You are trying to parallel park your car on a quiet street late at night when
you hit the car right in front of you. There are no cameras on the street, there
is no noticeable damage to the other car or yours, and there are no witnesses
aroundWhy do you think someone might choose to drive away?.
Answer: In the moment, I believe a person gets frightened about having
authority involved or in most cases cannot afford to pay for the damages
they might have caused. These are the main reasons why people decide to
flee from the scene.
