How do you build relationships with patients you see every day for weeks?

What they are checking: Whether they offer warmth and consistency while keeping professional boundaries.

What would you do

A patient on day 15 of treatment seems more tired and has skin breakdown. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they monitor side effects and report them to nursing or the oncologist.

Something about the patient's setup looks different from yesterday. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they stop and verify rather than proceed when something seems off.

How do you support a patient who is anxious about their first treatment?

You perform routine beam-on time or monitor unit calculations that are reviewed by the oncologist and physicist. Why does that review matter to you?

What they are checking: Whether they take machine QA seriously and know when to halt and call physics.

There's a call rotation once per quarter. What would you expect an emergency treatment call to look like?
