What they are checking: Whether they will escalate clearly and persistently when a patient may be in danger.
How do you stay alert and avoid alarm fatigue during a long evening of watching screens?
What they are checking: Whether they have real habits for sustained attention, since missed alarms can cost a life.

What would you do
You're watching a bank of monitors on the PM shift and two patients alarm at the same time. How do you decide which one to call first?
What they are checking: Whether they can triage lethal rhythms over artifact and act fast without freezing.
A lead keeps coming off and the monitor shows a flat line. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they check the patient's status first and never assume a flat line is just a loose lead.
What would you do if you saw a rhythm you didn't recognize?
What they are checking: Whether they ask for help quickly instead of guessing or waiting to see what happens.
About the work
Walk me through how you tell real ventricular tachycardia apart from motion artifact on a strip.
What they are checking: Whether their rhythm interpretation is solid enough that nurses can trust their calls.
How do you measure a PR interval, QRS duration and QT interval, and when would each one worry you?
What they are checking: Whether they know the basic measurements and which changes point to a dangerous trend.
How do you document rhythm strips and changes so the next shift and the care team can follow what happened?
What they are checking: Whether their documentation is clear and timed, because ICU decisions are made from these records.
