CASPER PRACTICE EXAMINERS QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SET A+
✔✔Air Force One, the private flight service for the President of the United States,
makes frequent unscheduled landings at major airports. Because of security concerns,
all flights landing at or taking off from these airports are grounded in these instances.
The situation often leads to several hours of flight delays for thousands of passengers.
1. Is it fair that the security of an important elected official such as the President of the
United States take precedence over the travel plans of thousands of his/her
constituents? - ✔✔The President of the United States should take precedence in
situations that require urgency. If not there could be negative consequences for the
entire population. However, if the situation does not require immediate attention or
urgency then it would be best for the President of the US to not take precedence as it
can affect thousands of individuals.
Although a traveler encountering this situation would obviously be frustrated and
potentially believe this process isn't fair, I believe the President taking precedence is for
the greater good. The President is the leader of the free nation and their well-being is
often associated with the well being of America. If an act of terrorism or other violent act
happens to the president, it often is interpreted as instability or turmoil in the nation
overall.
In order to protect anonymity and unpredictability in the President's schedule, it would
be imperative to continue the practice of unscheduled stops. However, if it is matter that
is more of a casual visit instead of something related to national security, the flight plan
could be adjusted to land at times that an airport is less busy, thus causing the least
delay to the smallest amount of people possible.
,✔✔1. Describe a situation where you have experienced a travel delay at a time that was
inconvenient for you. How did you handle it? - ✔✔When I was traveling, my flight had
been delayed due to a problem with one of the engines. We were forced to wait 5 hours
for the engine to be fixed and allowed to fly. Though it was inconvenient, the safety of
the plane is what matters most. If we were to fly on time but in a plane that was not
working properly, then the safety of all passengers would be threatened. It could also
have extreme consequences on the airline.
✔✔(video) patient comes in with pain and needs to see his doctor. Yelling at the nurse
who wants him to fill out paperwork. You are the physcian. What is going on in your
mind right now? - ✔✔First I do not want to jump to any conclusions until I gather more
information. The patient could be
experiencing excruciating pain and it might be unbearable to answer questions at that
moment. However, the
patient could also be addicted to pain medication and experiencing withdrawal. As a
physician, I need to gain more information so I can understand how best to help.
✔✔What would you do? - ✔✔In this situation, I need to evaluate the patient. I need to
do an extensive patient background as well as figure
out what the current pain is. MY first thought would be to treat him with a nonaddictive
pain medication such as advil. However, If I feel he is in excruciating pain then I will
prescribe medication. However, I
would schedule a follow up to evaluate other medical options such as physical therapy
or another type of
procedure that would be able to reduce the amount of pain killers he is taking. If I feel
the patient is addicted
to the pain medication and does not need it with his current health state, then I would
discuss the risks of
taking pain medications and encourage to try another type of treatment without fulfilling
the prescription for
pain medication.
✔✔You are an amusement park ride attendent. Your colleague shows up late for his
shifts and smells of marijuana
What do you do? - ✔✔In this situation, I want to remain objective as I do not want to
assume that my colleague is coming to work
intoxicated and is being irresponsible. It is possible that the colleague simply smells like
mariujauana because
someone close to him was using it. However, if he was not in the right state of mind he
could not only put his
job at risk, but he could also put the safety of all the riders at risk. As a result, I would
need to confront him in
a non accusatory manner about my concerns. If the colleague was under the influence,
I would encourage
, him to tell the supervisor and that he needs to go home as to not put others in danger. If
he was unwilling to
listen, then I would be obligated to tell the supervisor. If he was not using marijuana,
then all is resolved and express my apologies as I was concerned for the safety of
everyone.
✔✔You find out that your colleague was perscribed medical marijuana. What would you
do? - ✔✔If the collegue was using medical marijuana, then I would encourage him to
talk to the supervisor about it. If
he was using marijuana, there could be situations where he was not in the right state of
mind to be working. However, if he refused, I would tell him that I needed to let the
supervisor know of the situation as it could affect people's safety. AS a supervisor we
are in charge of being alert and aware and it is my resposbility to keep that and to
protect himself from others assuming something (any other medication it comes iwth
risks and supervisor hsould be aware of that)
✔✔What is your stance on the legalization of recreational marijuana? - ✔✔The
legalization of recreational marijuana has its benefits and consequences. If marijuana
was legalized for recreational use, states could experience and economic boom. It could
also potentially lead to a decrease in crime as police officials are able to focus their
attention on more violeny crimes. Lastly, there is evidence shown that it can help with
chronic pain.
However, marijuana has harmful effects on the body and is an intoxicating and addictive
drug. It can increase the risk of heart attack, blood pressure, and decrease oxygen
levels. Legalization could also mean more youth getting addicted to drugs or arrested.
Though there are both sides to this argument, I believe that the negatives to legalize
marijuana far outweigh the positives therefore I do not agree that it should be legalized
for recreational use.
✔✔In the field of medicine as a career option, there are no guarentees.
If your specialization required 10 additional years of schooling and there were no job
guarantees for when you graduation, would you still pursue medicine? - ✔✔Though
there is no guaranteed job security after graduation, I would still pursue the
specialization and the
field of medicine because it is something that I am passionate about. There are a lot of
occupations that cannot
guarantee security so it is best to pick something that you really want to do. Since I am
passionate about healthcare and medicine then I would still pursue it as there is
uncertainty in all aspects of life.
✔✔If doctors were getting paid the same, regardless of hours they put in or the number
of patients they have seen, would you still pursue the profession? - ✔✔Though it may
