About your past
Tell me about a time you managed a patient's ongoing needs over several calls, not just one.
What they are checking: Whether they follow chronic patients over time and notice patterns, not only answer single questions.
Tell me about a time you were under high stress at work. What did you do to keep your judgment clear?

What would you do
Walk me through how you handle an insurance pre-authorization that's holding up a patient's test or medication.
What they are checking: Whether they can push administrative work through without letting it delay care.
Between calls, you're also expected to clean and stock exam rooms. How do you balance phone triage with clinic tasks?

You need to work at another location on short notice. How do you handle that?
What they are checking: Whether they are genuinely flexible about the travel and hours the posting describes.
About the work
A dialysis patient calls saying they're short of breath and their legs are more swollen than usual. What questions do you ask and what do you advise?

What lab values do you watch most closely for nephrology patients, and which results would make you call the provider right away?

How would you explain a low-potassium or fluid-restricted diet to a patient who's overwhelmed by it?
What they are checking: Whether they can make complex kidney diet teaching practical and doable for real patients.
The posting mentions continuous glucose monitor placement. Tell me about your experience with CGMs, and how you'd teach a patient to use one.
What they are checking: Whether they can handle device placement and teaching, which matters because many kidney patients are also diabetic.
A patient calls asking whether they can take ibuprofen for back pain. What do you tell them?
